The Hunger Games

[hells_half_acre]

My sister is in town for the weekend, and her son wanted to see The Hunger Games. Luckily, Vancouver happens to have a theatre that is STILL PLAYING IT.

I went along...

I have not read the books...

But I keep hearing all this stuff about Katniss/Peeta or Katniss/Gale (or Peniss and Kale?)...but but...did people see the same movie that I did? Because where the hell are my Katniss/Cinna shippers?!? This is my OTP....at least for the movie.

Anyway, good times. Really well done movie. Katniss was a really great character. I also liked how the wounds/injuries were realistic...in that when they got injured, it was srs bsns...and Katniss actually went into shell shock when something exploded close to her.  

But, like I said, I haven't read the books, so I have no idea whether it's a faithful adaptation or not. I just thought it was a good film.

No, I never read the books. Basically from the moment I saw the trailer to everyone talking about it just really put me off the movie. Everyting I've heard about it so far, even through squee, just makes me dislike it more.

Not sure what it is about the movie that gets me to reject it like this...I have got no clue! It really isn't quite rational but I feel the very strong urge to never, ever see it.

Quite odd...really. Inception was another movie like this. There was so much chatter on LJ and so much squeeing and it put me off. I still haven't managed to see it...

Ah sometimes things like that happen. I've never seen Titanic or Avatar for those reasons...and I never will.

Yes, very logical of us, isn't it...? LOL
