In the latest episode of Empire magazine they celebrate their 300th issue.  Various well known directors contribute to this months superb movie magazine including Steven Spielberg.  In his article the director opens up his "sharkive" to focus on nine objects that help tell his experience of filming his masterpiece, Jaws. Some of the items range from an original shooting script of Spielberg's to a tooth from "Bruce."  For each object Spielberg gives us a little story of his time on set or why that item was chosen for shooting. One of the items in the article is Orca's anchor and the story that goes with it is Spielberg's memory of using the boat that was sitting in the Universal lot after the film had been shot for his "go to" place for anxiety attacks.  Yes really!  Spielberg would periodically come and sit in the boat and not remember the good times filming Jaws but the bad times and how that week could be his last week as a directo
