Absolutely my friend. I've read all three books a couple (maybe 4) times each, seen the movie twice (Once was because my friend didn't want to go alone) and wear a mockingjay necklace everyday. You could say I'm a bit obsessed ^-^

Haha. So do you think it's wroth getting the box set of the books?

I do, it's a fantastic series. I don't read very often unless I find something really gripping and I couldn't put them down. It's got some simplistic yet deep and wonderful writing, plus every chapter feels significant. Though it kind of annoys me that most chapters end with one of those moments where you must find out what happens next. It makes finding a stopping point rather difficult :/

Yea, still on catching fire, going to get to the end soon.
Im going to be very sad when end this series, and if i do get the box set i probably will read it over and over again. Lol, i tend to do that a lot. So what did you think of the movie?

I did that too ^-^
When it ends it's sad that the series is over but the ending does fill you with contentment that makes you feel a little better about it.

I thought the movie was.....acceptable. It wasn't bad but it bugged me that they missed quite a few important things in it (Cinnas assistants, the Mutts being dead tributes, Madge, Katniss losing hearing in her ear, the list goes on) but I understand that it's a movie version and they have to cut certain things but my extremely high expectations weren't met, though it they were rather unreasonable. Also, I was really looking forward to seeing Woody Harrison falling off the stage at the reaping :(
What did you think?

I was so PISSED when madge wasn't in it.
It was good, i think. Keeping in mind they had to cut out some things to keep the movie short enough, but honestly, i would have rather had a long movie that had all the important details than to have a short movie that skipped out on some. I was also pissed when peeta's leg didn't get amputated, also just how he got hurt in the arena. he was half naked in the book, and to me that played a big part because it showed off how pure katniss was.

sorry for the long rant, just a lot of things ticked me off. Like how peeta formed the alliance with Cato, Clove, Marvel, and Glimmer

Haha, again, sorry for the long rant

Oh please, I love a good rant, it shows passion :)
Yes, when Peeta's leg was perfectly fine I was really mad, that plays a decently large part in the future.I can't imagine how they're going to cover their asses when they need to bring up what they missed in the next movies.
I really want them to come out with an extended version for the fans that has more detail, sort of like what they did with Lord Of The Rings.

If you want a pretty fantastic little movie about the Second Quarter Quell you should check out this youtube video. It's fan-made but so well done.

They should really do that.
I just hope they don't cut out anymore -__- Like the whipping in catching fire, it shows how much katniss cares for gale
I just wonder if they're going to put Madge in the movie next time around, or if they cut out her character completely
Anyhow, they did choose really good actors for this movie, and effie trinket was just amazing. They captured her really well

I completely agree, Jennifer Lawrence did a great job as Katniss and Woody Harrison did a pretty good job as Haymitch though I felt like his character was too nice and helpful throughout the movie. He was very helpful towards the middle but only after he was a fall down drunk who just acted pissed off all of the time. They also took out Haymitch subtly talking to Katniss by giving or not giving her parachute gifts when he wanted to say something and replaced that cleverness with fortune cookie-esc paper.

The whipping better stay in because, as you said, it shows hiw much Katniss cares for Gale which set up a large part of her tug-of-war of love between Gale and Peeta. I may be a guy, but I still loved the sub-plot of that because it kept me switching on who I wanted Katniss to be with until the last half of Mockingjay.

agreed. I felt haymitch was a little too loving, he used a lot more "tough" love in the book than he did the movie
