Saw this last night...great movie.
Looks like a good one. Josh Brolin is a mystery to me. He seems like a good guy, and patriotic, but he’s married to Barbara Striesand. Wonder how that goes.
There is apparently some controversy about two different accounts of what actually happened and how these guys got trapped in the Yarnell Fire in Arizona, near where I live. If anyone knows about the differing accounts, I’d like to hear about it.
My son’s best friend and housemate was one of the 19, Garrett Zuppiger. Garret was a fine young man and last time I saw Garrett was a couple weeks before his death. He had just come home from training all day and was worn out, his girlfriend came past to make Garrett and my son dinner. He gave her a sweet kiss and saw her off to work afterwards. I remember thinking as looking at both my son, Garrett and Garrett’s girlfriend what good young people they are.
Josh Brolin is the son of James Brolin, husband of Streisand,...he's OK.
Nice.
I’ll want to see that!

Streisand is his step-mother.

The movie is good, but Josh Brolin is a truly revolting leftist.
The worst firefighter tragedy since 9-11. Nineteen died and only one survived - Brendan McDonough had been assigned lookout and was high up. However, if he had not been rescued by another crew, he would have perished too.
A link to the Memorial service. I’m no fan of Joe Biden but he gave probably the best speech he ever made at the service; it was definitely from the heart.

He was married to Diane Lane. Another big time lefty.
I’ll check it out. I just looked up the cast on IMDB, it’s liberal d-bag free

He’s friends with Trump.
His dad is.
Nice to hear it was good. It bombed big time at the box office. Only made 18 million. It cost 38 million to make it.
This weekend is Clint Eastwood’s movie 15:17 to Paris

That is the one I hope does well. I doubt it though. Hardly any publicity. Americans hate hero movies lately. And Hollywood will take note and stop making them.
James Brolin is married to BS. Josh is his son by a much better looking woman.
My sister lives in Prescott and when I heard that country music star Dierks Bentley was leading other stars to put on a benefit concert in that city, I grabbed some tickets. They raised $442,000 that night for the families of the fallen.
In no particular order:

New book MEGAFIRES talks about this as well as the Colorado fires of late. Also discusses how wild fires have changed from the early 1900s. Interesting and, depending on where you live, scary.
A better link from PBS. The C-SPAN link was corrupted and the first half-hour is missing.

I just viewed the trailer for Deadpool 2, and didn't recognize the actor portraying the character Cable, so I checked the International Movie Database, and it's Josh Brolin. I remembered that I had seen him in another Marvel movie trailer for Avengers: Infinity War. He plays Thanos in that. I knew he had married Diane Lane, and wondered if they were still together, but I see he traded her in for a younger woman. He's on his third wife.
