    Whhyyyyyyyy is it not November?

    I find it interesting that the movie outright has Snow plotting to kill the victors. In the book, the Quarter Quell was left a little ambiguous as to whether the victors going back in was intentional or just interesting timing. IIRC, anyway.

    Looking forward to this movie. The trailer looks amazing. Catching Fire was my favorite of the 3. President Snow is one of my favorite characters.

    The preview looks good but I doubt I'll watch the movie, I'm going to compare it to the book too much :(

    Jude Law is going to be in this movie? I don't think he's done anything since "Enemy At The Gate."

    Really? Sherlock Holmes.

    How unfortunate. That's almost as bad as Kate having to be in Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots.

    Reel Steel? That was pretty fun. It had Wolverine in it.

    Pleasantly surprised by the trailer, given how mediocre the book was. The writers seem to have recognized how average the book overall is and expanded upon the precious few compelling dynamics in it.

    Of course, Mockingjay is so uniformly terrible I haven't a clue how they'll pull that one off.

    I don't get the hate for Mockingjay. It was probably my favourite of the series.

    It may have been mentioned, but if you like teens battling to the death, check out Battle Royale.

    Yes. It was mentioned endlessly during the lead up to the last one. It's on Netflix instant and well worth a viewing.

    I've always meant to see it, but I see there is a 2 hour version on Netflix and a 4 or so hour minseries. Which one is legit?

    I refuse to. You think you can walk right back into our lives and pretend nothing ever happened. I'm insulted.
