What’s more, the act apparently took place near the Bates Motel, which is…not the most romantic place I can think of.
That’s the only reason that makes sense why the Universal lot was chosen.
Assuming the shark wasn’t jumping out of the water every couple of minutes, I feel like the Jaws lagoon would actually be quite a nice place for a rendezvous.
I can only imagine that one of the members of the couple was a big movie fan, or that perhaps there was a feeling that, because Universal Studios Hollywood is closed, and has been since March, they would be undisturbed (though one assumes the working movie studio is not entirely vacant).
