  • The Hunger Games

    Saw the movie yesterday with the girlfriend, who's a big fan of the books. Quite enjoyed it. The chick's pretty hot. The scenes that are supposed to be moving are pretty moving. I was a bit underwhelmed by the lack of depth in the relationships between Katniss and Lenny Kravitz and Katniss and a cooking mixture of wheat flour and fat. Anyone else see it? Read it? Have opinions?

    I liked it. Not super-awesome, but fun.

      I saw it with my wife and one of her friends. It was good, but the plot is pretty derivative and nothing unexpected happens.

      That said, happy wife, happy life.

        Made me think of Gladiator (unsurpisingly).

          That's the movie that's like the Running Man but where people are freaking out because they used Black actors to portray some of the characters, right?

            That's the first time I've heard anything like that.
            No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                      Oh yeah I forgot that 'brown' people are part-time minorities.

                        Al, whatever controversy you've unearthed is surpassed by parents' concerns about a movie that involves tweens killing each other. That's what the media is showing me.

                            The movie would be better if it was all Korean kids going at each other instead. But then people might confuse it for a comedy.

                              Ah yes, that old disclaimer "I'm not racist but..." followed by a monstrously racist comment. If anyone ever starts with that, I am just going to punch them in the face before they go any further.
