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.

OH BUT THEY SHOULD BE. I read all three of them in three days. I loved them. And yeah the first one is the best really, but... they're just so good. Katniss is such an interesting main character. And Suzanne Collins was so good at making her act her age. You believed her actions. Also, Suzanne Collins can stab you in the heart with a single well placed line. Finishing them was like a punch in the gut.

But I can occasionally be obsessive and overdramatic about things I love. :P
