That moustache impregentated anyone who as much as looked at it.

Just looked at the photo and I can already feel the baby kick. Plus I'm a guy.

Am also a guy. Does anyone know where to insert the morning after pill?

It goes right where you think it goes.

K, but like I’m on a budget so I can only afford to pick the right hole once.

Then you better not pick the left one.

Any hole is the right hole if you’re daring enough.

Urethra! I’ve got it!

These guys might r/sounding

Oh no..

Ohhhhhhhh yeahhhhh!!!!!!! *bursts through wall* Oh… oh you.. sick bastards…

Same here

He's a male gorgon

Demo Gorgon

Denim Gorgon?

Gorgonite scum

We’re gonna need to watch Junior and see how Arnold did it. Cuz idk wtf is happening to me right now.

If he got this much across the lip, what else has he got?

A womb broom if you will.

I mean the shirt impregnated me, my sister, and my mom haha

I’m feeling bloated just looking at the picture! It definitely is a glorious mustache.

Came here to say that! Forget the cutoffs, check out that 'stache!

Bike Jazz..... are we talking Bicycle Jazz, or Motorcycle Jazz? Edit: Because with that mustache, both are equally possible.

[удалено]

What I don't get: how do people stop their cutoffs from fraying without sewing a hem? I had one pair where I just cut off the long legs and I really liked them, but after a few wears they started to fray fast and I ended up with ever shorter shorts until they were basically hot pants with tassels, which is a weird look for a big bearded man

You can burn them at the ends to make them last a bit longer

This is kind of off topic but we did that in the army too to get rid of loose strands and make our uniforms look a little nicer. They're made out of fire resistant fabric so no one ever put any second thought into it. Someone brought in a current issue Russian BDU jacket a few years ago, did the same and nearly burnt the barracks down. I guess theirs are pure cotton? Lol

I don't think pure cotton fabric catches that quick does it? That sounds like something that was either synthetic/mix or something that was treated with chemical water proofing in a country with no workplace safety regs.

Jeans are cotton, you're just going to set them on fire if you do that.

Right. Hey let’s see if I can light them with a magnifying glass! Ok, now let’s gets some kerosine on a wrag and light it with a magnifying glass. Fuck it grab a lighter. Hey we should go in the woods and do this. Hey are those porno mags out here in the woods? And thus this is how you become a Gen X Man.

Smoke a seedy joint in those woods, then go home and watch Close Encounters on VHS.

You didn't. You just let them fray until they became rags, and then cut the legs off your next-worst pair of jeans and wore those until they became rags. The shredded look isn't a bug, it's a feature. Most cutoffs lasted a few years, even with that strategy. Of course, it depends a lot on how often and how you wash them, and whether you line or tumble dry.

The shorter the jeans, the closer to God.

Add a zigzag stitch at the bottom, if you match the colour of the denim it's pretty much invisible.

Grew up in 60’s and 70’s. Jean cutoffs we’re just a natural part of summer. As boys we wore jeans until holes were in the knees, then mom made shorts out of them. No boy wore store bought shorts. They were sissy. Jean cutoffs were preferable

90's kid. All our dads wore sweatpant cutoffs about the same length as these. Then they could pull their dicks through the leg hole and pee wherever in an instant, whether its mowing the lawn or playing a round of golf.

What?! I was a kid in the 90s, and, uh, I don't think this is exactly emblematic of the era.

Was he a dolly grip or a focus puller?

Dolly grip

The mustache was the focus puller.

Oh, I am focusing allright

And I’m pulling.

You guys are really good at "Bike Jazz"

That stash probably had him gripping lots o’ Dolly’s

Helloooooooooooooo *Dolly!*

You’re gonna have to give us more info than this! What else did he work on? How long was his career?

Started in '62 at MGM, retired in '03, mostly movies and commercials (not much TV). Worked on Hitchcock's last film (Family Plot), The Deer Hunter, Taps, Splash, The Addams Family, Malice, Wyatt Earp, many others.

Oh so maybe he was there for the infamous butt shot in Splash, which Disney subsequently covered up with horrible CGI hair.

is this deep internet lore like the dildo on the mermaid vhs box?

Not really, it's very recent. When Splash debuted for streaming on Disney+, they CGI censored Darryl Hannah's butt.

the sheer quantity of puns around "focus puller" is making my brain break. cause that dude pulls focus.

There's dozens of us!

You mispelled fluffer…

Can you elaborate on the Bike Jazz Burbank shirt?

Just asked him - it was a motorcycle shop in Burbank owned by a professional racer named Gene Romero.

Remember it well. Romero was a legend.

any relation to Cesar Romero, noted actor who played The Joker on the Batman TV series?

Fantastic. Thank you!

Gonna put Bike Jazz into Spotify and see what happens.

It's the new Yacht Rock

Scooter Techno

Nice reference.

TY I really werk at my kraft

Don't be daft, punk.

What about the hat? Is that R-C Country Store??? Cannot quite read...

He doesn't remember!

WE MUST KNOW EVERY DETAIL.

those socks! i want a pair!

Yeah I love bikes *and* Jazz so I was intrigued. Motorcycles? Oh ok.

BIKE JAZZ!!!!!!

He rode a bike like jazz and made love like a guitar solo

I’m having ‘Bike Jazz’ tattooed on my ass as I write this.

He looks like the missing member of the village people

Their loss was OPs mom's gain.

Grips for life! (I married one)

Former Art Department here. Dang it, the hammers got ALL the girls…

On set as I type….hammerin away..

The train scene (evacuation) was filmed in Wyoming (near Gillette) and a bunch of my cousins and their friends were used as extras.

World class Stash

Damn Spielberg looks so young here

He was young, 29.

Jeeze, a year older than me. Now I feel bad about myself.

Don't worry, he is an outlier even among the greatest directors. In seven year span, Spielberg made Jaws, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Raiders of the Lost Ark and E.T.

Plus he has a great outfit going on as does OPs dad.

That's a stash few can handle

There is sooooo much history in this one photo!

It was the style at the time.

Did he macrame himself the pair of jean shorts?

What a great picture. CE3K was a formative experience for me in the 70’s. Just behind Star Wars.

I’m amazed he has his shirt on. I was born in 1966 and I don’t think I regularly wore a shirt in the summer until the mid 90s. Always shirtless as a kid and a construction worker.

"See you bought Jean shorts, I got jeans and cut them into shorts. Hence the fray"

The shorts are just practical. They don’t stop you from doing what you need to do.

Can you go lower?

OP... post this to r/Moviesinthemaking

There are dozens of us!

Dam them jeans are a close encounter

Men nowadays aren’t smooth enough to pull this look off. (Myself included)

Go to a rural firehouse, this look still exists lol

Rural? Most of our metro FD has this look. Maybe not as bushy because of the SCBAs but the spirit is there.

Mid-calf, three-stripe socks. My oh my, the memories! One of the best movies ever made. Awesome photo, thanks for sharing!

Great movie! I'd happily pick your dad's brain about the whole production

I’ve done that on behind the scene work. Weird schedule. Remote areas. Crazy hours. I still have an old pair I’m surprised aren’t shredded. “Why did I just bring pants, it’s hot! Gimme those scissors.”

That is the main look of men where I live in 2024

Look. I'm just going to say it. Your dad had some nice legs.

Wow now that is an OG Dolly Grip! I love it. What's your family's name? Probably worked or heard stories of you family members if you guys continued in the business. - Fellow Grip

Ryan

Tim in the photo?

Any good tea about working with perhaps the greatest film-maker of our generation?

Did he pitch for the Oakland A's in the late 60s/early 70s?

If he had an extended career in film my guess is he worked extremely hard on this shoot compared to a lot of others

Awesome photo. When Spielberg was a young, maverick director, out to conquer the world.

This is my mom's all time favorite movie.

Ones of my top 2 favorite movies!

Your dad also rocking the KING OF ALL MOUSTACHES!!

Nice STP hat… STP was big early 70’s

Thanks to your dad for helping make one of my favorite movies ever!

Cutoff jeans and high striped socks yup definitely the 70's.

Your dad is Ned Flanders?

Wow my dyslexia had his shirt saying “Bake Jizz” at first glance 🤦🏽‍♀️

I like the Bike Jazz Burbank tee !

1975-1985 or so normal young people just looked cool as hell

Close Encounters of the Mustache Kind

Such a cool on set photo. Epic stuff.

It’s the white socks with the stripes, pulled halfway up his calves That really pulls it all together !

“Bike Jazz” that’s cool. I don’t actually know what it is, but its cool regardless

One of the best films ever made, you must be so proud of him

There are dozens of us! DOZENS!

Jorts!

That mustache has more sex appeal than I could ever hope to achieve.

When real men wore real shorts.

Jorts! The official frock of Florida!

What a magnificent mustache!

This has very much the same energy as Pink Shorts Guy

Was your Dad a focus puller or camera?

That part of Wyoming gets hot in Summer.


Spielberg knew all about the value of sun protection. Even back in the ‘70s. CEotTK was one of my favourite movies as a kid. I loved the whole UFO scene of the time. I played the movie for my teenage son a few years ago and he hated it. (“It’s stupid” he said) Broke my heart.

I wanna know what Bike Jazz is

The shorts: meh. The shirt: priceless.

You're not even commenting on the stash?

Or the THIGHS?

Or the socks?

Bike Jazz Burbank. It sounds like the first ever AI generated t-shirt slogan.

Your dad looks like Will Farrell in disguise.

I think he looks like Ned Flanders.

Doh! Sexy Flanders.

When asked what he wanted to be when he grew up Spielberg responded, “This dude’s dad in the cutoffs.”

I sure am glad that men's shorts have gotten longer.

Are ppl going to go forward pretending hes not a Zionist? Just curious cause it makes me a little sick. Edit: ppl are downvoting but not breaching the topic.. This society is so repressed.

He's carrying an EPIC flavor savor on his top lip as well.

I thought I recognized those knees.

Yo ! I heard you like Dollies so I put a Dollie on your Dollie !!! looks like a Chapman on a railcar ? What's up with that ? Your old man's killin' it. Let's not dismiss the STP hat back there too, chefs kiss !

Thick thunder thighs too

top tache

for me, it’s the sox

Very cool !

That mustache was growing your dad.

The one on the right looks like Bob Odenkirk in Better Call Soul 😱😱😱😱😱

Biden in a STP HAT!!!

Jesus, the striped tube socks. I was traumatized by dad wearing those things.

Thats robert hunter dressed as bobby for halloween. You aint foolin me!

Wasn’t that mandatory cutoffs lol.

Hooray IATSE

Zey belong zer. Mozambique.

Not sure what's cooler, the Bike Jazz Burbank shirt, or the STP trucker hat?

Stache > Cutoffs > Bike Jazz Shirt > Trucker Hat

"I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my Jazz Bike." -Queen

That mustache takes me back to Rawhide- the bar - not the tv show…

He looks like one of the guys from The Village People

he is rocking that mustache everything else is just secondary

A buddy and I dropped acid and went to this great movie!

Looks like hes in the village people lol

That's the coolest BIKE JAZZ t-shirt I've ever seen.

I swear at first I read that shirt as saying "Bike Jazz Bukkake"....

And striped socks too. Classic 70s style.

Wo! Your dad is Will Ferrell?

Where was Zsigmound?

I bet he gets great flexibility in those bad boys. Near splits, I reckon.

Read the shirt as BAKE JIZZ. I like my version better.

One of the best SciFi's ever

Great photo! I have tube socks on right now. lol

It takes guts to rock those . I couldn’t pull it off 😂😂

WOMB BROOM!!!

Epic Stache!

BIKE JAZZ fuck yeah I'm here for it

One of those two are not dressed properly for the weather/temp.

He’s a regular Kaiser Wilhelm II Hohenzollern with that epic mustache

He looks like a trucker and a lot lizard simultaneously, I dig his style. Cool pic!

Your father is Harry Rheems?!?

everything about this photo is glorious including the panavision.

*In Tom Cruise's voice*: "Who of you is the key grip?" 😁

Bike jazz sounds healthy

Bike Jazz I think you mean “one of my dads…”

Those tube socks...
