Anyway, the first book was great, I'm looking forward to the movie a lot. The teaser trailer debuted during the VMAs last night.

Jennifer Lawrence.. 131wank

Re: The Hunger Games

Looks shit. Like a teenie-early 20's version of The Running Man and/or the several other 'fight to the death' survivor-type B films that are around.

Actress is cute though.

something i will be looking forward to seeing.. i have not read any of the books, but will be soon

Not a bad series, if a little too similar to Battle Royale, the cast and crew are first rate though, so have high hopes for the movie.

The trailer is coming out on Monday apparently. Good Morning America will premier it.

Looks pretty sweet.

Is that it .....

That trailer had really good sound. 😐

Really clean sound mix and the highs were crisp. 😐

Anyway, I will see this movie with the wife. She loved the books. I drag her to things like "Watchmen" (and she fell asleep), so I'll have to see this.

Yes, it's no a unique story at all. Characters are not unique. Themes are not unique. Hell...there is nothing original about this movie or the books. Still, it is entertaining. I read the first book. But it was too irritating to read the other 2 or 3: this is coming from the person that got through the Twilight books.

I still have to read the books. So you think they were decent, Barker?

My mom's read the first one, and she's actually continuing on. Which is amazing, because after she read "Girl With a Dragon Tattoo," she was like : ew, enough. But I lurve those books, still waiting for the third to come out on paperback.

ETA : after seeing trailer.
Okay, I'm going to Barnes and Noble today. I have to read this before I see it.

Isn't that like, the old trailer? ermmnone

So I watched the latest trailer, and now I've all three books coming to me in hardback in a boxed set.

*very very excited*

Those teasers were all kinds of lame. But the theatrical trailer looks kind of intriguing.

Watched this trailer today, will go see it.

Bump because I feel bad for not responding to siriuswriter 😐

Yes they are good. They kind of slowly get eh but the portions in the actual games are awesome.

I barely could get through the first Twilight book, found it excruciating, an exercise in boredom. I've only watched twilight for like 15 min, the editing, what I saw, was just as bad, and the dialogue, specially its delivery, horrendous.

The trailer for this movie had me excited, so much that I'm going to get the books to read them first.

I hope you're wrong with the books...

but since you liked Twilight, I rest easy 😄

I finally got my greasy little paws on them - and I'm in the middle of the third one. I agree with the dragging pace at some points, and I think Katniss is getting

Spoiler:
whingy, or maybe I've just gotten tired of it coming from her
so I had to put Mockingjay to rest for a while.

And I figured out that the four notes in the trailer when they show the mockingjay symbol with the arrow

Spoiler:
is very most probably Rue's four notes that she sings to let District 11 know their work day is done, and also the four note pattern that means "the arena is safe."

I'm really anxious how see the costumes as described in the books, the ones designed by Cinna, because they were incredibly symbolic, and the flaming ones were what brought the Capitol's eyes on them at first.

I need this to come out.

I'm excited to see the hunger games. Definitely recommend the books to anyone.

Thanks to all for the videos. that they have added on this thread.

Looks like this will be bigger and better then Twilight.
