I try to give money to the eastwoods of Hollywood and the nugents of music. But I have come to the conclusion that left leaners unfortunately are the majority in the arts. I try not to give money to those artists who are exceptionally offensive.
what if you just watch it free online?
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Then you aren’t supporting Hollywood.
But then there’s that pesky Fifth Commandment.
I liked Hunger Games 2, but you need to rent the first one. I don’t think you’d enjoy it, otherwise.
A learning lesson violence is all around us.The learning lesson of the books is what happens when the government gets out of control.Nothing worse than what happens in Batman,X-men.Avengers etc.
They are very conservative books i bought them for my kids to read when they get older.
I got over 28 million results and it took 10 seconds.

The Hunger Games book and movie were not particularly violent or bloody.
However, having read all three books, I can say that Catching Fire offers the movie makers a much more logical opportunity for gore.
The third book, Mockingjay, which I understand will be made into two movies, offers even more opportunity for gore since it tells the story of the rebellion against the oppressors.
I agree with the suggestion above that you see the first movie before the second. Even better, read the books.
The Google algorhythms are notorious for reading in a childlike literal way. The heavy reaction to your search may have been fueled by searches using each of those words in different ways’ Catching as in receiving, Catching as in contagious, Catching as in Ca-Ching! Fire as in hot stuff, Fire as in job ending, Fire as in guns blazing, Fire as in verbal criticism.. You see what I mean? I’m just one who likes to play with words. Still, I suspect there really are a lot of comments flying about in reference to that new movie itself.
Avatar was a lousy story solely supported by some great CGI.
The Hunger Games Trilogy is a great story with nice special effects.
You should see “The Book Thief”. It’s outstanding, and the young lady who is at the center of the action is a remarkable actress for being so young. She is going to be a star, for sure. We saw it last night, and I still cannot get it out of my mind.
Avatar’s blue giants more entitled to live on earth than earthlings?
I’ve seen a lot of fever fantasies about that movie, but this is a humdinger.
Fantastically irrational. Well played.
As Condi Rice would say, “There has been heavy chatter about this online”. Sometimes the simple idea is the best idea if your actors are confident and the direction allows them to easily assume their roles.
If you are in the mid 20 something demographic you will like it just fine…because you have probably already read the books and seen the first movie.
The reports from said folks say that it is too short, well filmed, but skipped on some of the story line…. yes it is very violent
Did Condi Rice really say that? LOL. Reminds me of my grandmother who used to say, “It must be good; it’s heavily advertised.” We used to laugh at her naivite behind her back.
Condi spoke this way about The Chatter Online, just prior to the events on 9/11. This is long before Twitter trends and all. The Mullahs has been talking amongst themselves about the Amercian Devils, sort of creating their own momentum of madness with all the familiar hateful chants.
Netflix has “The Hunger Games.”
All and all, whenever I see one of these flicks, I just can't wait for the revolution. Which, I guess, comes in movie #3.
I understand but I will tell you that in this case reading the books helped understand the plot even more. You actually get a better feel for the capitol and the mindset of the people there....the scary thing is you see low information voter all over this. But I enjoyed reading and then viewing the story line. The cast is well chosen for the parts, even Woody Harrelson! He has Hamitch’s personality down.
So, does the chick get naked? Otherwise, I don’t care.
Oh, yes. I’d forgotten that. Condi was right of course.
Define Naked.
