This year's #Hooptober starts late with...*checks notes* The Wizard of Oz? Yes. The Wizard of Oz. I don't make the rules. letterboxd.com/josephlee411...
A ★★★ review of The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Movie #1 for Hooptober: Might as well start with the one that makes the least amount of sense to be on this list. I know the Wicked Witch and the flying monkeys were creepy, but this is hardly horror....

My lukewarm take: Spaceballs should have been renamed Spaceballs: The Movie at some point.

I get the perceived need to out people like this, because their views are horrendous. But they *want* to be outed. They want their grift to reach a wider audience. They have no shame and if they can rope in a few more dummies in exchange for public mockery, that's fine with them.
Following his viral debate with Mehdi Hasan, the man claims he lost his job after saying he didn’t care about being called a “Nazi.”

You know you're officially old when you're watching a procedural vote in the House of Representatives on PBS News.

I've said it before, but I love the way Ellie reacts to the dinos in Jurassic Park. I think it's the most realistic. You bet if a T-Rex was chasing me, I'd also be saying "SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT".

Dominion pretty much killed my love of any new Jurassic stuff. I wish I could get excited about Rebirth but I just can't.

There are still King stories that haven't been told in any format, but sure, let's go back to the well for something that was just adapted five years ago.

Movie #13 for #Junesploitation was Friday the 13th. Since I've seen all those ten times or more, I decided to go with 13 Fanboy instead. I regret my decision.

I really want Danny and Michael Philippou to direct a Pet Sematary movie. Remake it again, I don't care. I think they can capture the dread and depressing grief that King's book has, which no one has been able to put on film.
They might also put the Wendigo in it finally.

Movie #6 for @fthismovie.bsky.social #junesploitation is Giallo. So I had my girlfriend pick the movie to introduce her to that style and she went with Puzzle. It's not very giallo-like, so I'll have to show her Deep Red later so she can really find out.
