Hooptober X

edit: Last minute finish. Although I do have a couple more hours because of time zones. But I need to sleep. I procrastinated a lot more than I thought i would, so I had to watch a lot of movies in these past few days. I gave up on the bonus films. Maybe next year. I think I like hooptober. Made me watch a lot of good movies I wouldn't otherwise. I'm looking forward to the next one already.
