Let's Play....er Read The Hunger Games (an experiment in literary criticism).

[Dr. Insomniac]

Oh God, wow.

[Kiddington]

Oh God, wow.

Beautiful.

Alright, here's the Hunger Games drinking game I mentioned from earlier:

-Take a drink every time Lenny Kravitz appears on screen. Just cause.
-Take a drink every time one of the characters cries, or is about to cry
-Take a drink whenever you can tell how fake Jennifer Lawrence's wig is
-Take a drink every time Woody Harrelson takes a drink
-Take a drink every time Elizabeth Banks does that creepy smile
-Finish off the bottle whenever Elizabeth Banks shouts "THAT IS MAHOGANY"

Take a drink every time the camera needlessly wobbles.

I'm sorry, I'll stop bringing that up.

[Avaitor]

Take a drink every time the camera needlessly wobbles.

Well you'd be dead if you played it like that.

[Lord Dalek]

Take a drink every time the camera needlessly wobbles.

Well you'd be dead if you played it like that.

As if the "Take a drink there's an abrupt jump cut" rule didn't kill you first.

[Lord Dalek]

For the first time in months, I've opened the book to read.

[Avaitor]

Will we be getting an update?

[Lord Dalek]

Mmmmmmaybe.

[Avaitor]

Since the trailer for Catching Fire just came out, I figured that this thread was in need of a bump.

[Spark Of Spirit]

I have to think he just gave up. I can't exactly blame him.

[Dr. Insomniac]

Replacement, sirs.

[Avaitor]

Last time I checked with Dalek, he said that he was enjoying Mockingjay. But I think it starts out fine before it goes into batshit territory?

Most tend to agree that it goes totally off the rails at some point.

My friend who's a fan of the series said it's his least favorite part and he's perfectly aware of the series flaws.

[Avaitor]

Even most of the biggest fans seem to not like Mockingjay very much at all.

But back to Insommy's link, if you feel like his reviews are tl;dr, skip to the recap. It's great stuff, and makes me want to go through the whole thing.
