I've been kind of away from Letterboxd. Specifically, I have not interacted with this website since I failed to review 31 movies last Hooptober (my first).
I watched all the movies, I swear. But I got a little backlogged on the reviews there. It was The Giant Spider Invasion that broke me. I had no idea how to review that. I had no idea how to even rate that. What, basically, the hell even was that?

So yes, I was beaten by The Giant Spider Invasion. My Letterboxd profile has effectively been a corpse ever since. But rather than go gentle into that good night, and with no Bill Rebane requirement in sight, I am re-animating on the anniversary of my death for Hooptober X: Hooptober, Hooptober Let Satan Come Over.
I am a little worried about Argento's Dracula to be honest. The plan is to power through that. I'm not getting Rebaned twice.
I will totally review all 31 movies this year or my legal God-given name isn't Catman Struthers, and you can bank that. Happy Hooptober friends.
