All are really bad, See it is not just the shark in Jaws- it is the cast and acting- like the discussions on the boat, with Quint talking about his time in the navy with the sharks. Even Ebert liked it- (4 stars).
Other films turned it into a bloodfest with many jump scares.
Local road law does not include the concept of “right of way”
(common hyper-correct falsity when some says ‘he had right of way’)
Actually, my local road law does include the concept of Right Of Way". A friend of mine woke one early Saturday morning to sound of a bulldozer driving down the Right Of Way at the rear of his house, pushing aside the fences, sheds, and BBQ that people had built over it.
No, that’s not the ‘right of way’ that you meant, but you were attempting a hyper-correct legal point: in ordinary English, one car has right-of-way, and the other doesn’t.
Well, they always married relatives, so no. But she learned the local language, She Identified with Isis, presented herself as a Divine ruler, patronized the local temples, etc etc.
While the content of that blog might be true, I should point out to any readers that it is 100% free of any bibliographic references or citations. It’s the equivalent of reading a pamphlet you find on the street.
Had they notified those people first that they needed to get that stuff out of there and been ignored? or was the municipality’s first word on the subject the bulldozer?
It was not a municipality bulldozer. It was a private bulldozer, exercising its right of way.
It is not normal to notify people, and they did not notify people. If you notify people, it gives them a chance to get a court order preventing the action.
It’s relevant to the original nitpick. The whole point about a right-of-way is that you don’t need to notify people: you have a right. This is in contrast to traffic rules, where having a (colloquial) right-of-way does not give you the right to run into other cars.
If they can get a court order preventing the action, seems to me there would have to be some legitimate reason to prevent the action. “I’m going to do this before the court can stop me” is likely to lead to a whole lot of trouble further down the road – if the court had a reason to stop you, having already committed the action isn’t going to get you off the hook.
And what if somebody had been sleeping out in one of those back yards, which appears to have been what the people who’d put up fences, sheds, and BBQ thought that area was?
But it has to be clear that it’s a right-of-way. If you let people think it’s part of their back yards for long enough for multiple people to build sheds and fences all over it, and don’t make any objection until you show up with a bulldozer, you might well find, around here at least, that the law’s on the other side of the issue.
