The Hunger Games Trilogy - Movies/books thread.

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

They are tenuously related. Like how poker and "go fish" are related because they use the same playing cards.
It's a stretch, but still, in my opinion, a violation.

I don't feel strongly enough about it to go to war over it, though. She still wouldn't have any nudie pics to leak if she had never created any nudie pics.

Same thing. You see, when you open a web browser and look at a picture on the internet, your computer has to contact the other computer (etc etc).

Unless there were printouts, I guess. Then there would be a difference. But who would be doing that?

Whoa. Let's flag down a cab and head for Real Street. The original source of these photos is her. Why did she feel the need to take these? Her alibi:
She claims she made the photos because she was in a long distance relationship and her boyfriend would either look at porn or look at you.

1) If you have problems with your man looking at porn, the world has you fucking outgunned. *rimshot*
2) That claim is more than a little condescending towards men and it demonstrates she doesn't understand them whatsoever.

When obviously he is going to look at her AND porn.

I will give her slack for that, too. She's pretty young, and I have no idea what her dating experience has been like.... but I have known women older than her who were clueless about men.

I can even understand her being clueless. It doesn't change the fact that what she said was idiotic.

I guess she also comprehends technology about as well as she comprehends men.

All in all, I will allow her to be sometimes dumb and emotional and female without holding it against her.

I'll hold THIS against her though, yanowutimsayin.

To me her statement was almost as much of a turn off as Elle MacPherson's Tonight Show interview. (There's a pull from the past.)

I give her slack for being young, which means she's ignorant about how the world works. Still, i hope she's mature enough to realize that EVERYONE she dates in the future has already seen those pictures and there's nothing she can do about it.

If she's smart she can use it to eliminate the liars:
"Did you see those pictures of me?"
"No."
"Show yourself out liar."

This movie was faithful to the book, and as such was not the rollicking funfest the first couple movies about gladiatorial combat with children have been. It wrapped up the story but it isn't something you would play on mute during a party, too much of a downer.

Also check out how there's a scene where a guy gets his legs blown off and there's no blood. PG-13, yo.

Is it filled with scenes of Katpiss bitching about the gender pay inequality among multimillionaires or giving interviews about how she can't get a date?

No but there's an amusing scene with combatants blending in with refugees.

Easily the most positive review I've seen for this film.

Prequels.

I think the first Games, Haymitch's games, or the rise of President Snow, have potential to be good movies. Even the Revolution that started it all, maybe.
