The Number 23

I recently watched The Number 23:

a psychological thriller starring Jim Carrey as a man whose life unravels after he comes into contact with an obscure book titled The Number 23. As he reads the book, he becomes increasingly convinced that it is based on his own life. His obsession with the number 23 starts to consume him, and he begins to realize the book forecasts far graver consequences for his life than he could have ever imagined..

I found it to be a quite satisfying movie. The most bizarre thing however happened right after, when I quickly went out to buy some items before shops close and the cashier informed me of the sum I had to pay. Check out the picture of my shopping bill to the left. No, I didn’t freak out and ran out of the shop or anything, but still, strange isn’t it? I thought it was rather coincidental. Hope the number doesn’t start haunting me now.

For those who are interested, here’s the official website and the trailer of the movie:
