Lots of world events happen in the month of October. I’d be willing to wager about 1/12 of everything happens during the month. It’s also that awkward transition between summer blockbusters and awards season, where timid awards-worthy movies throw their hat in the ring during the first two weeks, while theaters clear out the last two weeks for the next Saw installment.
More importantly, it’s the month of Oktoberfest, when you can feel like it’s your obligation to drink yourself silly.
