The Hunger Games

Have you watched The Hunger Games?
Who were your favourite characters?
The nation of Panem is divided into 12 districts, ruled from the Capitol. As punishment for a failed revolt, each district is forced to select two tributes, one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18, to fight to the death in the annual Hunger Games until there is only one survivor. [note 1]

Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen of District 12 volunteers to take her younger sister Primrose's place in the 74th Hunger Games. She and fellow tribute Peeta Mellark are escorted to the Capitol by their chaperone Effie Trinket and mentor Haymitch Abernathy, the Games' only living winner from District 12. Haymitch stresses the importance of gaining sponsors, as they can provide potentially life-saving gifts during the Games. While training, Katniss observes the "Careers" (Marvel, Glimmer, Cato, and Clove), volunteers from the wealthy Districts 1 and 2 who have trained for the Games from an early age. During a televised interview with Caesar Flickerman, Peeta expresses his love for Katniss, which she initially sees as an attempt to attract sponsors; she later learns his admission is genuine.

I've read & watched all of it. Pretty intense stuff.
Prim & Haymitch are my favorites.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I watched the first one. I don't remember much of it, aside from being mildly annoyed at Katniss' dumb bad archery. (Not as annoyed as I was at the really stupid Na'vi archery in 'Avatar', of course.)

You can go checkout the Starving Games. Trust me it is good. Could be better and I would enjoy a sequel.

I couldn't get into it, the atmosphere was too goofy. Something similar but much better is Battle Royal.

It is way better then Hunger Games. Hunger Games is a complete Joke in cmparison to Starving Games, that is yawn it was. What is their to miss??? that two fighter planes could somehow be downed by a bow and arrow ( granted napalm arrows ) and the drunk mid-westerner gets it on with the makeup lady. Why? Because they are former champions.

We talk about "Battle Royal". I mean that was okay, and even the sequels I guess. I watched that on VHS before the lame tv translation.

Lets not forget "The most Dangerous game" ( the original "Running Man" before "Running Man". That being said Oh MAn.



I mean sweet moses. WTF happen to our movies and what happen to our dancers and what happen to our hair ( both men and women hair ). I just starte to appreciate late 1980's and early 1990's hair ( and body types ). I mean seriously WTF happen to this world when it came to fashion???

Nani ????????????????????????????

Arnold Schwarzenegger was the best movie star ...........for all of his films. I mean Where is our Arnie for this generation??? I do not care about BLM, or vagina bs, or gender bender, I feel mainstream media went out the crapper and all we are left with is FLASH and whatever people upload to youtube.

The world is beautiful man and the normality is out their but reguarding media it just seems that stupidity is being marketed.

"Running Man" = "Megaman" = < "Atomic Boy"
