Just when you thought it was safe to visit downtown Pomona, this Friday's free movie is "Jaws" -- woo-hoo! -- and starts at dusk, around 8:45. The movie is in the Thomas Street Plaza on West Second and Thomas streets. Bring a lawn chair or a beach chair. And it really is safe in downtown Pomona, btw, if not in the waters off Amityville where a great white shark...well, you know the plot. Don't you?

You can see the complete schedule of downtown movies here.

If there's a big crowd, be prepared to say somberly: "We're going to need a bigger plaza."

I was looking forward to seeing JAWS. I've seen bits and pieces but not the entire film. At least Kaiser Fontana has has a couple of movie channels in their hosp rooms. Then one of the channels is (or seems to be) THE LAST STARFIGHTER 24/7.

For fun, listen to Dvorak's New World Symphony movement #4; you'll hear where John Williams got his idea for the Jaws theme.
