IMDB Based on the true story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots. It follows some legendary firefighters doing whatever it takes to save their town from a massive wildfire.

Honestly, I think IMDB Based on the true story of the Granite Mountain Hotshots and I, Tonya were the best movies last year. It’s a solid biopic that somehow missed a Best Picture nod, which is wild considering how many politically correct, preachy, or pseudo-artistic flops actually got nominated.

“Call Me by Your Name”
“Darkest Hour”
“Dunkirk”
“Get Out”
“Lady Bird”
“Phantom Thread”
“The Post”
“The Shape of Water”
“Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri”

The Missouri Oscar has been a total joke for a long time now.

Yeah, solid movie. Honestly, the trailer totally misleads you—it makes it look like one of those typical disaster flicks where everyone’s a superhero or something, which probably scares off a lot of people who would actually dig this. But the best part is how they handle the actual incident that kicks everything off. I won't spoil it, though, so I'll leave it at that.

It’s a great addition to the genre.

It really caught me off guard. I went into this without knowing anything about the tragedy that actually happened, so the shock was pretty intense once it hit. I suppose it felt a bit like when that accident occurred over by Martha's Vineyard.

I’d definitely recommend giving it a watch.

Same here. It hit me hard once I realized it was a true story, and I immediately thought of Martha's Vineyard.

About five or six years ago, I was traveling by bus somewhere and watched a movie based on this event. It was quite good. Are there others? Or have there been more tragedies like this? 🤔

I was just sitting here thinking about how things used to be, you know, and it got me wondering about those old conversations we had back in the day... I can't help but feel like there's a certain weight to the way we discuss these things now, almost like we're trying too hard to find the right words when the truth is usually much simpler than that... anyway, I saw what Carol Lewis was saying earlier and it really made me pause for a moment... It’s funny how one small comment can trigger such a long train of thought, especially when you start looking at the bigger picture of how everything connects... I suppose I'm just rambling a bit, but sometimes you have to let your mind wander if you want to actually get anywhere meaningful... turns out, it's more complicated than it looks on the surface... kaže:
I have to say, I was completely blindsided by that... I had absolutely no idea about the tragedy before I sat down to watch it, so the shock hit me way harder than I expected. It really leaves you reeling when you aren't prepared for that kind of emotional weight... It actually reminded me of something similar that happened back home near Key West...

I’m honestly just sitting here thinking about all those shows we talked about the other day, and I was wondering if anyone actually had a solid recommendation for something worth watching... you know, something that isn't just mindless background noise while you're scrolling through your phone, but something that really pulls you in and makes you forget everything else for a couple of hours...

I don't even know where to begin with this one... it just hits you all at once, doesn't it? It's like that feeling when you're driving down a long stretch of highway somewhere out in the Midwest and suddenly the horizon just opens up and you realize how much ground you've actually covered... anyway, I was sitting here thinking about it, and I realized that sometimes things just are what they are, no matter how much we try to wrap our heads around them or find some deeper meaning in the chaos... it’s just one of those things...

And this too...

I happened to stumble upon this movie the other day, just by total accident, and honestly... it was so incredibly good...
