On shore! Never heard of it.

Edit: I was informed that this might be construed as a spoiler, but please allow me to clarify that there are very few movies that I have heard of from the past 10 years :-)

Ashore yesterday. The Saturday puzzle from last week had a link to it's solution that was actually today's WSJ puzzle and not the Saturday puzzle solution. It was taken down, but some were able to get it and solve it early. Much easier for me and as a normal Friday solver, happy to be down here on page 3 :-).

Ashore!

And … am I mistaken or do we actually have a group of page-zero solvers? 😳😜🤪

Ashore (as of yesterday). Waited until Pages 1 and 2 were filled before posting, given that I (and others) were listed in Post 1. Didn't want to deprive anyone of the glory of the first 2 pages! Beer me, cabana boy.

I got it, I think. Been on some vacations so have not been doing these for a bit. Last week was totally baffling. Nice to be done quickly for once.

I'm on shore - it did take a careful review of the subject matter. Alas, the film is not one of the nominees or winners that my daughter worked on - I can comment further on Monday!

On shore! Yay! I'll have a cold beverage to combat this heat wave!

UPDATE: after reviewing the synopsis on Google, it turns out that I actually did see the movie, but had forgotten about it. One thumb up.

On shore. Pretty easy solve, although tbh I'm not sure how the puzzle title fits in (in either version).

Depends on which title you saw.
