Hunger Games?

It really is. What a shame.

 

I feel for the people who can't sympathize as much with the characters because they're black. Even though they're black in the book too:

I saw this when it was called The Running Man.

 

No, you didn't.

 

I already ordered this from Vivid Video. It must be a typo that it's called Hung Games.

 

That's funny; my version is called Huger Games. Vivid must need a copy editor. I'm in.

 

I was mowing my lawn yesterday and I stopped to chat with my neighbor. While we were chatting, his wife came home from the grocery store and he walked over to help pull the bags out of her trunk and she yelled, "I told you, STAY AWAY FROM ME!!!"

He explained that they had seen Hunger Games the previous night with another couple and he remarked about how hot Jennifer Lawrence is. His wife said, "You have a teenage daughter. How can you make a comment like that about another teenager?" I pointed out that Lawrence is in her 20s and he said, "Yeah, but the character is younger in the movie and I don't think that would help my case."

I can't wait to see it.

 

Reminded me of "Condemned" that awful Steve Austin movie..

 

I'll read the last couple chapters on my train ride home tonight but, unfortunately, this seems like a pretty apt assessment.

Nonetheless, I enjoyed reading the books and I've had a lot of fun discussing them with my daughter so I have a prettyfavorable overall view of the trilogy.

 

HAHAHAHA!

Luckily my wife doesn't care when I comment on such actresses. I just saw Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and was drooling over Knives (who is 15 in the movie, but is like 24 in real life). Mmmmm, me likely them Asian females.

 

I get what they were going for in Mockingjay, but it fell flat. If they want to make a movie franchise out of it, they can probably get a couple of films out of Catching Fire, then go in a different direction while touching tangentially on Mockingjay's story.
