gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-09-30 18:00:50

Jaws officially turned 50 last week, and it’s easy to imagine that Steven Spielberg’s shark thriller—Hollywood’s first summer blockbuster—will be considered just as much of a classic in 50 more years. National Geographic’s annual “Sharkfest” programming marks the milestone with Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story, a new documentary from frequent Spielberg collaborator Laurent Bouzereau (Music by John Williams). As fans of cinema history well know, however, Jaws is already a well-documented f

Everybody Needs to Calm Down About the Switch 2 Screen and ‘Ghosting’

However, a recent Geekbench listing suggests its performance is closer to that of the 13-year-old GeForce GTX 660 Ti or the 10-year-old Radeon R9 370.
