workingcinderellaman Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4S9a5V9ODuY I just read this book. My daughter has wanted me to read it for a while now and I decided I better do it before the movie comes out. I'm always disappointed though when I see the movie adaptation after I've read the book. I hope I'm not with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to hunt down the director of that movie. He butchered it! Only thing he got right was the actor choice for Brom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielmclark Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 My first thought was The Running Man, too. So, is this in the same class as Twilight and the other stuff that was created to be "the next Harry Potter"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Filmed in my backyard. Woody Harrelson walked right by me downtown in August. Lots of sightings here in Asheville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I know the 13-15 yo crowd is eager to see this. At my school, the librarian is having all kinds of celebrations around it. Look forward to your reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mara Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Initial reviews are good and say the movie conforms pretty closely to the book. I loved the trilogy (the last one not quite as much as the first two) and didn't even know until recently that they're considered "Young Adult" books. That said, I will wait to see the film until well after opening week. Hopefully I can find an "off" time to go so I won't be surrounded by shrieking teens. And God help us if we start seeing "Team Gale" vs. "Team Peeta". Maybe I should just avoid all the hype so it doesn't wreck the books for me. . .

Alien Girl Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Movie adaptations of beloved books so rarely capture the detail that's in my head. Then again, every head is different. S'ok, I'll still be seeing it. I think they got the main characters right at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tick Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I'm 80% done with the book, but I won't be seeing this till the theaters calm down a bit. I believe the movie will be able to do things the book could not. I think it will be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My nephew is a history teacher at the local high school. He didn't want all of his students going to see this at midnight and then coming to class tired on Friday so he got together with some of the other history teachers and they bought out a theatre to show the movie at 7:00pm today. Anyway, he invited me to go and so I'm seeing it tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
