The Hunger Games (2012)

By the looks of the trailer, it appears they'll be keeping it close to the book! I can't wait til March 23rd!!! Cheesy

by **Lady Carliss** Mon Nov 28, 2011 8:38 pm

That looks really cool! I've heard of hunger games but never knew what it was about... Now I know a bit better... But maybe you could make it a little clearer for me?

by **Eirwyn** Tue Nov 29, 2011 4:59 pm

I'm not so good at explaining, but here's The Hunger Games synopsis:

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before—and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that will weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

by Susan Sun Dec 04, 2011 6:18 pm

Yay! I have it memorized AND it's also in my planner! Cheesy

Lady Carliss wrote:except I wouldn't know who to look for!

Well I think you already know what we both look like, the real trouble is... who should WE look for? Cheesy

by **Lady Carliss** Tue Dec 06, 2011 10:12 am

Ha ha, true! Well I kind of know what you look like... I'll wear a black cape with the hood covering my eyes or something really noticeable. Razz

by Susan Tue Dec 06, 2011 7:33 pm

haha! And i will wear my elmo sweater and my blue pants and my red hat and boots!!! Smile

then you will know who i am..

by **Lady Carliss** Wed Dec 07, 2011 9:11 am

Yeah, except now all I have to do is convince my parents to take me to Canada. Cheesy

I love your red boots... thought I'd say that... Smiley

Might take a while, bit eventually... You might be here just in time for The Hunger Games (make absolutely sure you read the book first though)! Smiley

by **Lady Carliss** Fri Dec 09, 2011 11:49 am

I will! If I can finish the Left Behind Series first! But i think I'll have to settle seeing it where I live. Cheesy

I want to read the Left Behind series! We are missing the first 3 though...

I've seen the books for The Hunger Games Around, haven't thought about reading them though.

by **Lady Carliss** Mon Dec 12, 2011 9:33 am

first 3 in the adult series or the kids one?

I think I saw one of the books somewhere.

by **Josiah** Mon Dec 12, 2011 3:19 pm

The Adult ones. We haven't got any of the kids ones though.

I should check 'Em out.

by **Lady Carliss** Mon Dec 12, 2011 5:40 pm

Yeah, you should... and so should I.

by Susan Wed Jan 04, 2012 10:40 am

i think might read the left behind series (once i am done the circle series) what are they about? are they good?

by **Lady Carliss** Wed Jan 04, 2012 2:02 pm

Left Behind? Their about the people who are left behind after the rapture. (henceforth the name.) And yes, they're very good, though I've only read the Kids one so for. (its for teens.)

by **Josiah** Sun Jan 08, 2012 3:34 pm

We're missing the first three of the adult ones (Someone borrowed them for a looooong time...) otherwise I would have started reading them. I don't want to miss out on anything.

by **Lady Carliss** Mon Jan 09, 2012 10:14 am

Why don't you look for the first three at your library?

(Aren't we a little bit off topic?)

by **Eirwyn** Mon Jan 09, 2012 9:54 pm

I'd say WAY off topic... Cheesy

by **Lady Carliss** Tue Jan 10, 2012 8:58 am

Yeah, that's probably a bit more accurate. tongue

by **Lady Kyessa** Mon Apr 23, 2012 1:12 pm

My older brother took me to see it. I think it was actually pretty good!

by **Lady Carliss** Thu Apr 26, 2012 1:27 pm

My brother took me for a birthday present.
It was good, and fairly consistent to the books.

by Takara Sat Jun 09, 2012 5:24 pm

I thought they did well considering what they were given. Rarely are books written first person and in present tense (that took me a while to get used to).

Hehe, casting was great and yeah, it was a pretty good movie in and of itself and also satisfied the fans, I think.

Except -

Spoiler:

I haven't seen the movie, but I've read the book. My friend said the movie was nothing like the book.

by Sir Leinad Sun Jun 10, 2012 2:43 pm

My writing teacher really liked both.

by Ace Mon Jun 11, 2012 9:45 am

I don't know if i want to see the movie. I'm working on getting the second book.

Interesting. I wouldn't say it was nothing like the book. It had the basic structure but they did have to change some things.

The isn't extremely spectacular or anything, but it is fun. Especially if you've read the book already because there are subtle nuances that are there.

Ooh, have fun with the rest of the series. It gets more and more intense.

by Ace Mon Jun 11, 2012 10:57 am

I've heard it gets better as it goes along.

by **Lady Carliss** Mon Jun 11, 2012 6:55 pm

I loved the series, but the movies had a few inaccuracies that bugged me. Parts that they easily could've had in there.

by Ace Mon Jun 11, 2012 6:57 pm

I figured you liked the series, considering your signature and avatar.

by **Lady Carliss** Mon Jun 11, 2012 7:02 pm

Yeah, that's kind of a big hint there...

by Ace Tue Jun 12, 2012 8:48 am

That's very true. I thought the first book was good.

by Takara Tue Jun 12, 2012 10:50 am

Did either of you notice this: Peeta is a baker and his name is pronounced like "pita" for pita bread. Razz

by Ace Tue Jun 12, 2012 6:16 pm

oh, wow! i didn't know that!

by Takara Tue Jun 12, 2012 7:12 pm

I should clarify . . . I don't know that that was the point, but it's just funny that there's that coincidence

by Ace Wed Jun 13, 2012 7:50 am

Maybe that is the point.

by **Lady Carliss** Thu Jun 14, 2012 1:30 pm

I noticed it, it also reminds me of PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.) That bugs me. XD but I like Peeta's name.

by Ace Thu Jun 14, 2012 3:22 pm

PETA: People Eating Tasty Animals.

by Takara Thu Jun 14, 2012 6:40 pm

Arc has the correct definition. Razz

by Ace Fri Jun 15, 2012 7:43 am

I love that definition.

by **Lady Carliss** Fri Jun 15, 2012 12:51 pm

XD so true... it depends on how you look at it. The Hunger Games (2012) 148514

by Ace Sat Jun 16, 2012 6:33 am

I look at it the right way. I mean, PETA's idea is good, but they take it over the top sometimes. Yes, animals should be treated right. But not worshiped.

by **Lady Carliss** Sat Jun 16, 2012 1:24 pm

Very true, they kind of over exaggerate it...

by Takara Sun Jun 17, 2012 12:21 am

Good point.
