Kind of. Well, now that I've tricked you: I've been told this was my fault so let's see. I come in & decide to terrorize chat with my mom, and she's watching one of those damn bridal shows.

The real reason being I just wanted to get out of the house for a few hours, but also it's been a while since I've been bothered with a mainstream Hollywood horror film (I'd given up). I did a little minimal research on the film just to brace myself, then off to the theatre on opening day Friday the 4th.

So I've got to win back some cred. ... You know what I never talk about? Judaism. Unless it's in a Judeo-Christian context which I admit is a little fucked up.
