The Hunger Games Movie

I was trying to explain this movie to GC the other day. Running Man was the only one I could come up with that he could relate to. It sucks being married to an old geezer ...

He says you've never had it so good.. I've got this idea....you take all the gangsta wanna be's roaming Quail Springs Mall, bus them to the old Crossroads, lock the doors, and tell them the last person alive gets a free shoes for life from footlocker. . We could have reality tv a lot better than Hunger Games. Screw bows and spears, let's get some bullets flying. Haven't seen the movie yet, I'm an old fart and hate to stand in line.

I have not seen it and have no plan to.

^^^This.

Yep. It sucks.

Both my kids wanted to see it, and I watch everything they want. To me it was disturbing. Its one thing to have declared war, its something totally different to make warfare into a game show.

He's right.

Generally, if a movie doesn't have cowboys, horses, Colts, Winchesters, and a damsel in distress I don't bother. But I would kinda like to see Hunger Games.

There's bows, arrows, spears and knives! There's a damsel, alright, but she's the one dishing out the distress!

Reality TV is the devil, and its final act will likely be something similar.

I thought the author was pretty clever to combine Greek myth with modern television. The movie is mega-successful because they pulled in the entire teen market, along with the sci-fi older guys, and, as one poster already mentioned, even the wives will go see it with you.
