2021-01-09 23:22:45 +0000 UTCWell that was a nice treat! A young teen friend introduced me to the HG series about 10 years ago and I devoured the books (similar to the Divergent series, another post apocalyptic Teen heroine series starring Lenny Kravitz's daughter Zoe (co star anyhow). I loved the books but I think the first movie is the best one. But once you are emotionally invested in the characters, the rest are tolerable. I loved Lenny Kravitz in this as Cinna. Jennifer Lawrence has been in several great films you should watch at some point including: Winter's Bone (she got an Academy Award nomination for that), Silver Lining Playbook, (won for that one I believe!) and American Hustle. Donald Sutherland has been around for decades and was a huge star in the 70's. Some of his best films are The Dirty Dozen, MASH (the original movie before the TV series came out) and Eye of the Needle as well as being roped into playing in Animal House!! He plays a great villain. Really enjoyed that reaction on a nice Sat afternoon. Will be back for the next one!

2021-01-09 03:53:50 +0000 UTCCan't say if this is the inspiration for Fortnite or not but there is a Japanese movie that came 12 years before this called Battle Royale (Batoru Rowaiaru) that is very similar. The selection process is different and they don't focus on the outside politics quite as much from what I remember. Oh and it's WAY more violent. But other than that pretty similar premise.

2021-01-08 22:42:19 +0000 UTCIf you notice in the beginning, Katniss had to hide both her bow and arrows in the forest outside of the district. Training in martial skills is technically against the law, as is hunting, for all districts. The Career districts like 1 and 2, and the outlying districts like 12 have different forms of lax security. 1 and 2 have wealth privilege and also specialize in training the military and the Peacekeepers, which means that the Peacekeepers turn a blind eye from them training their children. 12 is just so poor, distant, and beneath the gaze of the Capitol that the Peacekeepers trade fresh game for staying quiet.

2021-01-08 18:02:00 +0000 UTCThe number of times your name is entered for the reaping has to do with a couple different factors. First, your name is enter 1 for every year you have been eligible for the Reaping. If you are 14 your name is entered 3 times, 17, 6 times. Secondly, you can choose to add your name more times in return for food for your family. I forget what the ratio is exactly, but it's something like "if you enter your name 8 more times, you can get enough grain to feed one member of your family for a few months.
