IM A SUPER FAN!!! -
Good movie I would read the books but I'm not a fan of reading..

Oh chicken, I'm SO glad there are people like you in this world. If I found a genie ina bottle, you'd be my third wish. Thank you SO much for making my point by missing my point. I said multiple times that it was a MOVIE, notta BOOK. I also don't believe you've read the book either, you're obviously illiterate since this thread was titled "for those of you who have SEEN the hungergames". Operative word being 'seen', as opposed to 'read'. As is typical, (and my original assertion, which you clearly missed) has been hijacked by the morons of the world who want to talk about a book. You're disrespecting Evanescence, she started this to talk about a MOVIE, and here you and your cronies are rambling about something that should be totally unrelated... A book. Just like two people with the same name, they are not the same person. The title of the book and movie were alike, but a book is not a movie, and vica versa.
-
If the goal was to make a movie version of the book, than advertise as such. Like the movie "precious, based on the book 'push' by sapphire". See? It's in the title.
1. I spelled "catness" the way I did because people before me in this thread had spelled it that way, and since I didn't read the book and never ever will, couldn't care less about how to spell her name. And it even further illustrates my point about how wrong it is you even know or care about that. What difference does it make how to spell the name of a character in a MOVIE, it's a movie for a reason... spelling matters in books! And again you are trying to compare it to the book, you're in the wrong thread. Perhaps you should start your own forum post where people can discuss the book, but this is clearly not the place for such lunacy -
2. Again people here had described your "mutts" as wolves, so I followed suit because who cares what they are in the book when I paid to watch a movie? And do I really need to point out your logical absurdity by informing you "mutt" means mixed-breed mongrel dog? And all dogs derive from the grey wolf? Making all dogs-wolves, but not making wolves-dogs. Which consequently doesn't make movies-books :) Also, what's the incentive in 'altering the genetics' of a computer generated animal? If its genetics needed altering why wouldn't you just have your super computer make it correctly the first time? Stinks of the same sort of incompetence you demonstrate in your rebuttal.

3. If the three finger salute was a sign to her district as you say, than why didn't they explain the significance of that to the MOVIE going public? And if it was for D12, why did all the districts use it? It would have made more sense if it was a signal for the uprising. But you say her district, and you called me a dumbass and a dumbfuck, implying you'rea smartass and a smartfuck, so you must be right huh?
4. If D11 has a more illustrious story, than why not show that? Since its a movie and all, NOT. THE. BOOK. -
5. I agree she may have not have been motivated by money and fame, but she did promise her sister she'd do whatever she could to win. Commuting suicide would make her a liar and generally screw over her family and entire district by depriving them of their first winner. All for what, an effeminate dork who was shorter than her that she wasn't really interested in above pleasing the crowd in a feeble attempt at receiving parachutes? Or maybe her pride? A monumentally public "FUCK YOU" to the powers that be? Nothing is gained and everything is lost by such a foolish gesture, she potentially could gather enough clout to stop the games as a winner and food to feed her starving family. Stupid to the point of offending logic.

6. Ur right, it is a movie made after a book. AFTER a book, it's not a movie made OF a book. Invariably people who haven't read the book are gunna see it, and if everything is half explained and assumed they've already done homework than they are not doing their jobs as movie-makers. They suckered you into buying the same story twice, you got played son! And being accredited just means you've been given credit, so she could have been given credit for making numourus piecies of shit which would only discredit her further. The world is full of highly accredited derelicts, and if the BOOK'S author is so worthy of credit... why didn't she higher a consultant for a meager $15/hour to remind her that some people who don't waste their time reading stories they eventually are gunna watch in MOVIE form will also watch her FILM?
-
Then talk about it after the fact and if these simple things aren't explained to them, ruin their experience by not making the movie they paid for in favor of a half-assed attempt at making a big screen version of the book? My intellectual capacity has zero to do with my DESIRE to read fiction, and if anyone who reads our exchange thinks I didn't comprehend the film than they can share your cancer sandwich, cause the world is better of without them in it.
-
7. If she disoriented the mutts, I didn't see it and you may have aptly corrected me there. But if it did happen and I didn't see it, it's because I was focused on all the other painfully illogical things going on.
-
8. I don't know what a "bullet monkey" is, (another thing not laid out to non-readers) but my point remains. Those arrows had enough force to kill people, pin an apple against a wall, kill birds and squirrels (and presumably deer), yet all of a sudden, without explanation, puncture the villains hand... without piercing through his palm killing him and peeter. Non sensical. What would have make sense is if she shot him in the eyeball, he died before he hit the ground, effectively winning the game for her and peeter, (couple victory rules were still in effect) which should have immediately ended the simulation of the mutts only meters away. So the villain is dead with an arrow in his cranium, and peeter is only the victim of a fall. And why was peeter, out of nowwhere all of a sudden able to whip the villains ass? That kid was bred to fight and peeter was a cake-decorator, and they both had similar injuries. More storytelling stoopidness.
-
9. So you're conceding there are inconsistencies? Thank you for agreeing with me! And now your suggesting people should read TWO books to understand ONE terrible movie!?!? What kind of corporate stolie are you chicken? I'd rather sit on a pineapple. I may have a thick skull, but I think we've stumbled onto why you're defending this offense to theater... You believe skulls are the center of intellect. Most of us use our brains to think, not the bone mass that surrounds it. Smartfuck.
Oh- and it was reminiscent of twilight because of the sophomoric acting, egregious loose-ends, incomplete plot, tween pandering, it as well was written inarticulately to cater to the lowest intellectual common denominator, bumpy love-story, hot chick/stupid doosh guys romance trilateral.TAG, your it!
-
I thought the movie was pretty well done, but yeah i could tell it was kinda rushed as well. They didnt really show that katniss was just being romantic with peeta to get sponsors to help them. If someone didnt read the book, it wouldve just seemed like bad acting during a romantic scene. Also i wish they showed the part where district 11 sent her a loaf of bread, idk but i really wanted to see that before the riots. All in all, it was good, but i hope catching fire is better!
-
Haze why the fuck do you think that every term you don't know is from the book? And in the Hunger Games world mutt is short for "muttation".
-
Also, the mutts aren't simulations. It's spelled Peeta, and she didn't shoot him in the eye because he didn't know they would call off the mutts. I'm not even going to address the other completely stupid things you posted that are, according to you, inconsistencies.
-
" the lowest intellectual common denominator, bumpy love-story, hot chick/stupid doosh guys romance trilateral. " I ❤ this...
-
You are a dumbfuck. It's pretty obvious to anyone reading that YOU'RE the one with smartass remarks. Hmm. A "Bullet Monkey" is a human shield. Cato was holding [Peeta, not peeter. Which isn't even spelled peeter in common english, it's spelled peter.] in front of him, in hopes he could take [Peeta] with him.
You're twisted "logic" you speak of isn't actually logic. That's what i consider an idiot right there. If you lived in a nation as horrible as that, that would be a monumental "FUCK YOU" by eating the berries.Thanks, i love when people try to smother me with compliments :) glad i'd be your 3rd wish.
Oh, if you'd payed attention, you'd know cato's food was destroyed, his alliance dead, he was under the effects of extreme hunger, dehydration and was nearly mauled by mutts (Which are mutations, but you obviously don't have the intelligence to understand that either.) -
ALSO, IF YOU WOULD'VE PAYED ATTENTION- Peeta "Whipped the villains ass" because he is strong. He did throw the weight, correct?
And combined with Catos disorientation and Peetas strength he threw him off the cornucopia.You're a fucking idiot. You think it was made different than the book? It was made OF the book. It IS the book, except it was made as a movie. My whole family saw the movie, and my little brother and mother had never even read the book. They understood all that happened, minus the mutts (had to explain that a bit.). If my 11 year old little brother could figure out the movie, and you can't, you need some help.
-
Another IYWHPA-
Hmm. Not even close to twilight. Also, Peeta and Katniss weren't in love, at least not at the start. It was for sponsors. But you didn't pay attention at all, so i guess you missed that too. Sure you watches the movie? I think you're just trolling to be a jackass.Any true Hunger Games fan has already read the series, the movie was just "eye candy".
I can't believe you're so thickheaded as to say it's a bad movie. The story was clear as day.
District 11's small story is in THE NEXT MOVIE. Guess what? I don't give a flying fuck that you're not going to see it. YOUR. LOSS.
It IS the book though, and that's what you need to understand.Just leave. You lose. End of story.

I read the book s and am going to see the film............... And what the hell is that three finger salute anyway?
The three finger salute is a sign of respect in district twelve it means like everyone wishes they had the strength and courage to do what you are doing and it is sort of almost a sign that people worship you because they have that much respect fir you
It is rarely ever done
(it explains in the book) -
Chiken is completely right.

I guess they didn't explain the wolves in the movie because in the movie, they're just wolves. Since their eyes aren't weird, they don't need to be explained
Besides, how do you pick and choose what to remove and what to add in? You'd end up adding everything by accident and before you know it, 4 1/2 hour long movie.I was wondering where I got the idea they were wolves, thanks hypocrite! Glad you read the books and understood SOOO much of them as to chastise me.

Heh, the assholes at hollywood made them do the action scenes like that to make it a pg-13 movie instead of R. They actually had more in depth, violent scenes but thought if they had an R rating it would detract from the viewers allowed to see the movie, lessening their profits as well.
You can't lessen profits, you could reduce them though. The word "less" implies something that can be measured, fewer is something to be counted. That's why the sign at the grocer says "10 items of fewer" Genius.

And great job quoting, genius.

Uh-oh, I fear you may have gone "full retard". Untamed- where and when did I suggest terms I didn't know we're from the book? The only term I didn't know was used by chicken, bullet monkey. The colloquialism "monkey" is generally used for something that plays around and can't take anything serious. It's a misnomer to use the term describing a human shield, or bullet-sponge. And am I not allowed to ask questions when I don't know something? At least I admit when something doesn't make sense instead of pretending it does to avoid looking foolish. The real fool is someone who hides behind someone else's original ideas and can't formulate one for themselves.

If mutt is short for mutations... than why didn't they ever mutate? Couldn't that strand of reasoning mean they could mutate into something with the jumping power (or wings) to kill the tributes on top of the cornucopia?And how can a sane person say they weren't simulations? Many things were omitted from the story but they did at least show how the "mutts" were generated by the computer, making them part of the simulation inside the arena. Just like an agent in the matrix, they are living breathing tissue, but as soon as the simulation ends- the agent/mutt ceases to exist in that reality. I said an ending where she shoots Cato in the brain and the simulations disappear would have been sensical, not literal.
