LatinXTC Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Bleh hunger games! And they're already on the 3rd one? Well I guess that's a good thing one more left to get in theaters and everyone will stop talking about it, like the twilight movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympic Fan Darcy Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 If you haven't read the books prepare to cry. I cried like a little girl reading the 3rd book. And i'm seeing the midnight premiere tonight here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krow Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 the 3rd book isn't all that good and the best part of it will be in the 2nd movie, so. there's that to look forward to, but i guess i'll muddle my way through this one before it leaves theaters (aka like this friday).

Back to topic: I enjoyed the first movie to my surprise, wasn't impressed by the second one and since I haven't read (or ever will read) the books, I won't lose much sleep over the remaining movies either way. That is one of the biggest problems with the 2nd movie. Reading the book makes the movie so much better. The movie gives visuals to a lot of the things that were implicitly implied in the books or pieces that were a little too verbose. I really enjoyed the third book. The only drawback is that the author rigidly stuck to here triplet format that she lost the ability to flesh out a few spots. It had a lot of great emotion and the ending was fantastic in that it portrays the less glamourized outcomes of a struggle like the one in the book and the costs of being involved in something even if you were doing what was right. It showed the sin-eater side of combatants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krow Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 if you can't take three and a half hours out of your life to binge read the best book ever, you're an idiot. the only reason you're so flippant is because YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK. george martin books take forever to finish and his writing isn't all that great anyway. this is where i tsk tsk you. you should stop posting in this thread and become as silent as an avox, which is a reference you prolly don't even get tsk tsk.

thatsnotmypuppy Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 So I'm going to see JLaw 3 - Rise Of The Peeta on Saturday. Am I to be as let down as I was by Interstellar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Wasn't bad. Depends if you've read the books or not. If you haven't read them you'll like the movie but hate the ending. If you have read them you'll like it but wouldn't give it a 10/10. It's all a bit of a wank for Jlaw. She dominates the movie. The books showed much more character development. As someone who has read the books and thinks they could have gotten away with making one movie, they wasted their chances with the character development of Finnick, Gale, Prim etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMarkSnow2012 Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 In an ideal world, both Mockingjay and Deathly Hallows would have been single movies, four or five hours long, because in the books the whole point is that the lead characters spend ages achieving not-very-much, and getting depressed, and the reader just knows that something's gotta give. Split them in two for the cinema and you end up with a whole year of depression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsnotmypuppy Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 When was the last four or five hour film commercially released into a huge amount of cinemas? Cinema operators hold a lot of sway and the movie studios know this. Splitting the films gives them huge profits and also allows multiple daily screenings. When Turner re-released Gone With The Wind into cinemas recently they could only have two daily screenings due to its length. No records will fall with that being the case But of course you know all of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm therefore considering NOT seeing M'jay1 until next November, and in the meantime I'll attempt to steer all discussions in the direction of other films. Should I start with Dude!

krow Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 my favorite part of mockingjay the book is where she shoots that woman through the heart when she comes up from underground and then feels kind of bad about it later, like she did when she killed the boy from district 1 even though she hated everything he stood for. my own postscript is that she becomes president of panem at some point after the books end, or at least holds high office, because how could she not? i couldn't imagine a better 5 thousandth post eleven years ago when i was posting to GB from my dorm room getting annoyed everytime the guys downstairs would make the floor shake because they were playing bittersweet symphony at top volume for the millionth time until i made the super christian guy who lived next to me go down and tell them to stop with me -- although part of me wishes my 5k post was a cutting belle brockoff joke.

Those jokes were gold. Grats on 5k posts. Tony's nearing that mark after only a year. What sort of celebration would it be if someone didn't mention Tony.

Lord David Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I'm waiting for a Battle Royale remake by Quintin Tarantino thanks. May it be as gory and as explicit as the Manga version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
