The Hunger Games

That movie's still hip and relevant, right?

 

Finally saw it tonight. It's not that I didn't want to see it, I just didn't have any interest. But then the girlfriend wanted to see a movie and we ended up there.

 

 

It was... pretty good. I knew it was part of a series, so honestly didn't expect the entire games to finish in just the first movie/book. I can only begin to imagine what's in store for the sequels.*

 

I think there was a good amount of action, but the storytelling lacked at times. It didn't feel like there was much of one until near the end. But that's okay, because in waiting for that things were kept pretty suspenseful.

 

I also got in a tiny debate afterwards about which character I'd fit best. I couldn't decide between the psychotic one that gets killed last (whose names I can't remember... seriously, they're all pretty odd despite an apparently futuristic setting) or the president guy who clearly does not like people bending the rules.

*And I plan on going to read spoilers soon, so my imagining won't last long. :P

The crazy guy is Cato. The president is President Snow.

 

The movie was pretty awesome, yes. You should read the books :b

Cato, yes. That sounds familiar. I can't remember them ever naming the president more than once, though.

 

I might pick up the books this summer now, actually. Unless I get lost in dozens of Star Wars books again like I always do.

His name is Coriolanus, which is just hilarious.

 

However, you are absolutely a Cato.

 

Now read the books, mister.
