My wife.

Never heard of it, but if it features scantily clad borderline anorexic girls, I'll stock up on lotion and set my Tivo.

books were pretty good, I guess I'm twilight-gay for having read them but they have some pretty decent action. Unfortunately if the movie is PG-13 they had to have cut alot of that action out, or maybe do the "turn the camera right before head is ripped off" trick.

Isn't it basically a kid/teen phenomenom like Twilight and Harry Potter?


Jennifer Lawrence is nice to look at though.

Put the cast from Harry Potter in The Running Man and you have Hunger Games.

Put the cast from Harry Potter in Battle Royale and you have Hunger Games.

FIFY

I read the first book at the insistence of my son and for a "young adult" novel, it wasn't half bad. Since the other books are free for the Kindle, I'll hit them up shortly. I'll be taking my boy to see the movie and I'll tell myself it's just to see Jennifer Lawrence, but it will really be because I'd like to see the book on screen.

Rib bones make me hard.

I've read all the books. For being listed as 'young adult', I thought they were very good. A lot more violence than you'd expect, and the plot line throughout the series was very good.

If we ever have a DCU reunion ... BBQ is off the menu.

Im looking forward to the movie. I did read the books and thought the first was by far the best. Thought the books got weaker as they went. Almost lime they were rushed to get out.

Thought they really stepped up the violence in the last one with all the traps but the ending was pretty weak. But it will make for good drama in a movie imo.

Nerds.

1st book is the best. The others seemed a bit hollow, and almost seemed like she was using violence to make up for a lack of interesting story.

And Bob is a douche.

 

[peplaw06]

Getting pretty good reviews. I'll probably check it out.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Make-up violence in books, yeah, I'm the douche lol

So, you're not into books, but you are into reading threads about books that you don't read and commenting on them. I guess I was wrong.

I'm into books. About real life. Not made up fantasies.

Great. So you can leave this discussion any time.
