Holy movie trailers, Batman! Just watched the new trailer for The Hunger Games last night. For lack of a more intelligent way to get my point across, I will just say that it looks BAD ASS! If you haven't read The Hunger Games trilogy yet, I'm going to go ahead and recommend that you watch the trailer, because, honestly it sums up the premise more clearly and bad ass-ly, without spoiling anything, than I would be able to. If you have read The Hunger Games trilogy, you should also watch the trailer. If you've already watched the trailer… you should watch it again. Here's the link
Its been a long time since I have been this excited about a movie, which I completely expected because when I read The Hunger Games, it had been a long time since I had been that excited about a book series. This series literally kept me awake nights. It haunted my dreams. Not in the way that a scary movie would haunt my dreams, but in the way that I was so sucked into the story and the characters that it encompassed not only my waking thoughts, but apparently my sleeping thoughts as well. Suzanne Collins, managed to create a detailed, and distrubing world without detracting from the plot. Meaning mostly that she managed to bring to life this world and these multi-dimensional characters that I cared about and understood, could visualize... without the prose driven, detail oriented fodor that I tend to get bogged down with when reading a lot of other…ahem..."well written" books for lack of a better term. Alright… seriously… what I'm trying to say, rather clumsily, is that it felt like I was reading the plot driven crap I usually read, while still managing all of the details, and character development that I sometimes miss out on, without making me want to skip a few pages to get past the description of the mideval castle and get to the good stuff. Still doesn't make any sense? Fuck it. It was really, really good. I liked it a whole lot. Please, please read it. And please, please, for the love of god, don't just see the movie like a big ole' dummy that never learned to read. How's that for well written?
