For a movie? Not of the top of my head, just old folklore, which this movie seemed to use a lot of *not up to snuff with Korean lore*

Three movies overall today were decent, aside from Webs, which sucked the root. :P

Just so you know, you have two "101" movies on your list, D.

Speaking of which, congrats on reaching 100. :)

Thanks for catching that, lol. I'd probably see it on my next edit anyway :P

Yeah. Pretty sure I hit this mark last year, just don't remember my total.

I know I am stating the obvious here, but...little centipedes baaaad...huge centipedes....worse...(lol). I was afraid I was not actually going to see one since they are in a cave. An ok movie so far.

Damn. Happy Death Day was pretty fucking good, tbh. Could be that I had a GOAT buzz going, but it was totally enjoyable. Would recommend, and would watch again.

I was planning to watch that yesterday, then when I looked up the times and saw PG13 I backed out. Unless it looks exceptional, I won't bother supporting PG13 horror. It has to look exceptional. At least Insidious level.

It was worth it. I have a ticket code I could send you that could lower the price for the ticket, if you want it. I bought a shit load of horror movies this month and a bunch had these tickets with discounts to the movie. :p

Also, it's 100% not Insidious level good, but the movie knows exactly how good it is, and is playing that role. It knows it's not amazing. That's a big part of what made it so enjoyable. And the booze.
