Best birthday present ever

Can we now get this "Jaws" in 3D?? It's time!

When I worked in Pittsburgh tshirts looked like AC/DC tshirts, but at second glance were My Little Pony tshirts or something. I miss my Lawrenceville folks, but I like that in southern IL an AC/DC tshirt is usually just an AC/DC tshirt.

Caught Stealing Pays Homage to New York Crime Capers Darren Aronofsky's new film CAUGHT STEALING makes for a peculiar--and only "okay"--outing from the director of Black Swan and The Wrestler.
