Scott and I went to see the Hunger Games movie last night. I was pretty excited for it but I think I forgot about all the things I really didn’t like about the books. The movie was OK, but not great, in my opinion. I really could not care less about the whole love triangle thing. Some parts were sooo corny! The whole theatre cracked up a few times, like every time the camera was on Gale. Ha. Also they didn’t talk about food enough.
This review basically says all the things I would like to say but better: http://winebibber.wordpress.com/2012/03/23/can-we-talk-about-the-hunger-games-movie-edition/ It even includes a picture of ROCK-PEETA which was pretty much the best part of the whole movie.
And this article was kind of interesting too: http://io9.com/5896475/everything-the-hunger-games-movie-left-out
Today was pretty miserable with allergies, but I’ve had another little breakthrough and am feeling better at the moment. If I walk around pinching my nose with my fingers until I can’t hold any longer it really clears things right up!! Apparently it has something to do with CO2 build up and vasodilation. http://www.normalbreathing.com/art-stuffy-nose-clear.php

I thought it was just ok too. But that’s just me and the majority of movie adaptations. Same way I feel about Harry Potter… books are memorable, the movies are forgettable. But I thought they did a good job, it looked how I imagined on screen.
did people laugh in your theatre too?
