Hell yeah, almost a year to the day!
This time it was a 9:30 showing, but we got together at 5:30 and rewatched the first one so it was fresh in our minds.
So earlier, but also...longer.
But it was great!

Am I too old for a 10:00pm Sunday night showing of Wicked?
Yes.
Did I go anyway?
Also yes. Because my friend wanted to, and we're ALL too old, but YOLO and we'll all suffer together. 🤷🏼♀️

We switched to a new software system at work, and...whew.
It was a tough week.
I guess the good news is that I get paid for working a bunch of extra hours that I didn't plan for?
But also....I worked a bunch of extra hours that I didn't plan for.

Not a full length movie (but it is CINEMA *chef's kiss*), so I'll call it a bonus!
There was a little splash on social media when this came out, but I wanted to include it in the roundup so I held off on posting.
But...what??!

We had time for another movie after FD5, but went for a palate cleanser.
I've liked everything I've seen from Bong Joon Ho (Snowpiercer, Okja, and Parasite), and I love water monsters, so this has been on the list for a while.

Somehow, I saw FD3 in college, without having seen any of the others.
So a few years ago, we started at the beginning, and made it through 3.
We kept hearing how good Bloodlines is, so...you know. Time to catch up.

J does an online movie night with friends every week, so I was on my own.

J has one of those jobs that sometimes makes his brain turn to mush.
So when we were looking at the challenge lists, he said, "Oooh! Vatican horror!"
I thought that was oddly specific, so I checked the list.
It said Vacation Horror.

J had seen this before, but every time it popped up as a recommendation somewhere, he'd say:
"I really liked that movie. I should rewatch it."
And eventually that became:
"I actually think you'd really like it, too...?"

Not exactly horror, but dinosaurs count as movie monsters, and sometimes gory?
The original probably counts as a horror movie.
And J is a Jurassic Park nerd, and we've seen all the others, so why not?

Whoops! This was actually #5, I misread my list.
It's important to mention bc, yes, sometimes I get Bruce Campbell.
But! Sometimes J finds a movie with Joey Lawrence in it, and watches it with me!
And that part was first!

Remember how I said sometimes October Movies just happen?
Sometimes they happen because a movie pops up in the recommendations.
And sometimes it's because J has had a few drinks and literally can not resist Bruce Campbell.

Okay, here we go!
So, with all that said...
We actually kind of killed it this year!
The last few years #OctoberMovies have gotten derailed by Covid, a tooth infection, and too many hockey games.
This year, we've been healthy, I'm resisting hockey for the cause, AND we started a little early.

Finally got around to getting a flu shot this afternoon, and it's kicking my butt a little?
Which isn't an abnormal side effect, but usually I do pretty well. Sometimes my arm gets a fever, which is silly and makes me laugh, but that's about it.
But this time I want to curl up and sleeeeeep. 🤷🏼
