The Hunger Games
 

I liked it. Not super-awesome, but fun.

Made me think of Gladiator (unsurpisingly).

"Win the crowd, win your freedom."

That's the first time I've heard anything like that.

QFT

Al, Racists? On MY INTERNETS? Stop the presses!

Must be by people who have a low comprehension level.

She has bright, dark eyes and satiny brown skin and stands titlted up on her toes with her arms slightly extended to her side as if ready to take wing at the slightest sound.

Not sure what else people should think when 'brown skin' is plainly written in Rue's description.

Al, whatever controversy you've unearthed is surpassed by parents' concerns about a movie that involves tweens killing each other. That's what the media is showing me.

The movie would be better if it was all Korean kids going at each other instead. But then people might confuse it for a comedy.

You listen to Rush though.

Who said anything about Hispanics?

They kill black people with hoodies. I'm not a racist , but ... ouch! my nose!!! Provost hit me!!!! Damn Yorkshiremen...

FTFY.

I wonder how many people will be pissed that Michonne is black.

...which, of course, is to retain the PG-13 rating so tweenies can watch it.

Seemed a little brutal for PG13 in my opinion.

Lot's of *******s in this thread.

Anyone else think that the government in the world of The Hunger Games, would be a one percenter's wet dream come true?

I was miffed that District 9 didn't proffer up a ghetto alien and a racist South African as their tribute.

Not everyone believes that dictatorships are bad, though.

Slavery and dictatorship would serve the interests of the wealthy, would it not? Why do you think slavery and dictatorship forms of government has existed for most of human history until recently?
