Just finished readng the trilogy a few days ago and, while yes, the writing and story has it's fair share of flaws (Collins tends to be blunt, which certianly lends itself to the action scenes, but not so much to the emotional ones), I still really liked the books. I was also honestly surprised by how violent anddark things get given the target audience.

I feel that I'm about fifteen years too old and possbly thewrong gender to be looking foreward to this movie as much as I am, but fuck it. I am totally psyched about this movie!*


*part of which has to do with hoping that the changein fomat might end up solving some of the issues I had with the books.

So I have a theory. Haven't read the books so I don't know how well it really holds up but here goes.

Running Ginger Girl was shown during the training montage learning about different plants and leaves and shit. So she knew a lot about what she should or should not eat.

When Katniss and whats-his-name find her body and the guy says she was clever, Katniss then says she was "too clever." I didn't get why until just a bit ago.

Running Ginger Girl committed suicide with the death blueberries.

Sorry, maybe this was obvious to everyone but me. I just got it though.

I don't think so. All through the games Foxface (that's what she's called in the books) got by on her quick whits and cleverness. She stole and sneaked around to survive. She even avoided any confrontation at the feast by running up and grabbing her bag before anyone else knew what to do. Why would she then turn around and commit suicide?
>> No. 32541
>>32530
She was clever, but she didn't know about night lock poison berries. She had no intention of dying.

The bumblebee thing is a myth. That thing about their wings not being strong enough to lift themselves was just one guy doing the math wrong.

We've also known a number of animals have navigated using magnetic body parts (usually parts of their brain) for a while.
>> No. 32538
>>32536
Well the magnetite is in the nose for humans, at least those humans who have it (not all of us do). But pretty much any animal that migrates is able to keep track of their location because of magnetic material in their bodies giving them a sense of direction that is a genuine extra sense.

I rather liked the game review. My concern is relevancy: To be a game reviewer, you really need to have quite a bit of frequency. Half-in-the-Bag, as much as I like, lacks this frequency. Quite a few big name video games could slip through the cracks. I'm willing to give Rich Evans a try as a reviewer, especially if he treats the big name games in the same manner Bauman and Stoklasa treat big name movies.

they seem to have the basics down and kept to their own gimmicks instead of trying to copy someone else. I'd say it was a decent first.

>Forgive me for sounding repetitive, but this definition still does not discount my point of Star Wars being a remake of The Hidden Fortress. Lucas has gone on record before as saying Kurosawa's film was, along with Flash Gordon Conquers The Universe, the main source material from which he drew the elements that would cause him to write Star Wars.
>the main source material from which he drew the elements that would cause him to write Star Wars.

Main source material from which HE DREW ELEMENTS that would cause him to write Star Wars. That is a textbook example of inspiration/using reference, NOT remaking. You are the only person here against 3 or 4 people who insists on your view of what the term "remake" is.

Kubrick. Okay I know Eyes Wide Shut was fucking awful, but whatever he's still Stanley fucking Kubrick. He made the Shining and A Clockwork Orange and 2001. he's allowed eyes wide shut. (but just barely christ)

and fincher because again IT'S DAVID FINCHER COME ON i'm not a huge fan of panic room but i am a truly ridiculous fan of the social network and fight club and just about every other goddamn thing.

Alright, I am probably opening up a can of worms here, but whatever. TGWTG Thread.

Phelous is an absolute riot. I'm surprised I never see him mentioned while folks like Linkara and Spoony get more attention. Every word that comes out of this man's mouth is just dripping with sarcasm and sense of loathing. The horror movies he covers are absolutely without a doubt some of the worst shlock you'll see.
