Sad story I heard on the radio

This morning, a lady in Florida saw a burning car on the side of the road after it crashed. She didn't know if anyone was inside, but she still took out her camera and filmed it as it was burning...

...turns out it was her sisters car and her sister was in the car.

:(

Have a nice day! :wave:

HOLY CARP!!!
On a somewhat related note, 89th, what did you think of the movie "Crash"? I just saw it recently (finally). I think it's one of the best movies I've ever seen.

I agree.

I saw it last summer when it came out with my mom. We were in the mood to see a movie and the selection was really weak. I saw "Crash" listed, but had NO idea what it was about. I saw the strong cast, and thought we might as well check it out...

I was blown away. I actually went back 2 days later after convincing some friends to see this relatively unknown film. I think it was a combination of a great story, acting, directing, all woven together...and the fact that I had no expectations.

Here is my review (not imported to Cinemafox© yet:

I really didn't know much at all about this movie before I saw it, but the amazing cast and great reviews sold me. Basically this is a film about a dozen or so characters that live in or around Los Angeles, are of many ethnicities, and have lives that are intertwined with other characters throughout the film. From district attorneys, cops, thugs, poor families, and so on...this film is easily the single most racist movie I've ever seen. But that's the point! The movie points out the stereotypes that are sometimes true, but more importantly many times are not true; and the drama that ensues because of tempers and misunderstandings draws you right into the film, empathizing with the drama and action that they are going through, and the story slowly comes together like few movies have ever done. Written by the same guy who wrote Million Dollar Baby, this movie is just a spectacular display of an incredibly simple yet complex story mixed with stellar acting. You should certainly check this one out.


I thought it was the 2nd best movie of 2005...behind Star Wars 3.
