The Hunger Games.
« on: November 21, 2013, 07:10:59 AM »
I never even knew the original movie existed until 2 days ago when I was scrolling thru NetFlix. Now Im thinking about staying up late and going to the night feature of "Catching Fire" which opens tonight, and, Im going to buy the books.

What a great story.

Have you been living in a cave? Because it's been kind of hard to escape the hype machine. That's been a sizable chunk of the entertainment news the last couple years.

Then again, at least it means seeing a lot of:



Got to be honest, I've never ACTUALLY seen anything she's been in (never got around to seeing First Class, no interest in the Hunger Games. Days of Future Past will probably be the first thing I'll see her in), but A) she's gorgeous, and B) it's refreshing to hear someone who's honest and behaves like a REAL person coming out of Hollywood for a change.

Yes. His posts reminds me of a "whatmighthavebeen" had my mother dropped me on my head as a baby.

No, seriously, visions of dystopian futures have a greater meaning then sheer entertainment or a pair of nice tits. Especially since some form of dystopia is where we are heading. One where a all powerful state holds all the power. History/future is all the same VHS tape on re-wind.

It might be war, economic meltdown, terror, or even a natural disaster. But it will happen, and Ive always liked stories of little people who stepped up to tyranny to be very entertaining. Katniss Everdeen has guts. I salute her even tho its only a movie.

Yeah, Lol, having served from '77 to '81 I missed the entire thing. Middle East, Europe, SAC bases in the states...what Cold War?

My comments were about America. I couldnt give a crap about what the North Koreans do to each other.

Silver Linings Playbook was a surprise for me, I normally don't enjoy films like that, but it's one of my favorites for the year.  If you want to see Lawrence perform in something decent, give it a whirl, I can see why she got the Oscar nod for it.

Hunger games is strange to me, in that the books are written in a very strange format, present person tense.  It hurts my head to think about it, much less read it.

Oh yes, and Gsholz for the flawless victory +2.

I  like the books, but the movie disappointed me. I will still see 'em though.
