As a pop-culture maniac, one of my favourite things to do is go to midnight premieres. This year will likely be full of them: The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers, The Amazing Spider-Man, the list goes on. Last Thursday/Friday was the midnight premiere of the Hunger Games, the movie I was probably most excited for this year.
My friends and I showed up at 9:30 and there were already hundreds of people in front of us. Luckily they had just opened another theatre so we swapped our tickets and get prime seats for that. I’m not sure how many of you have read The Hunger Games, or how many of you have seen the film – but it was great, and followed the book to a T. Even though I’ve read the book, I was clinging to my seat the entire time.
Anyways, without going into a boring, detailed review, especially for those of you who haven’t read the book and have no interest in it – I’ll just say that it was great, I enjoyed it, and go see it. It might even be better for those who haven’t read it because you’ll have no idea what’s going to happen.
I actually knew the book only after all the hype about the movie. I am reading the first book and I LOVE IT!!!!
I am so easily influenced by pop-culture I feel pathetic.
The first book is great! I didn’t enjoy the second and third as much, but I think they’ll make great movies.
(And don’t feel bad about being influenced by pop culture – almost everyone is. That’s why it’s popular culture, right?)
