And as I watch the first movie yet again, I'm reminded why I think Peeta is so annoying.

I was going to ask why you think he's annoying. But I just saw your sig.

What' does everyone think for US box office this weekend? I'm saying $146.2M.

I'm guessing right on the $150M mark, being optimistic.

I'd crap bricks if it made like $80 million on Friday alone. Not going to happen. But just imagine how crazy that be.

I agree with the second part of his sig.

I'd prefer not imagining you crapping bricks.

Not as good as the first two. Still it was alright.
Sucks I gotta wait a year to see last film

I think that removing one of the most popular threads on the entire board for ... as far as I can tell ... absolutely NO reason -- well, that doesn't make a lot of sense.

The Mean Girls GIFs got a little out of hand, but closed for a whole month seems harsh. But I'm not a moderator, so just disregard my ramblings...

Then remove the GIFs. It really isn't that complicated.

To be honest, this may be a little personal pet peeve about the film series, but I was always bothered how the Mockingjay symbol (and pin) was so important, but the film never adequately (to me) explained why.

I mean, the film gets the gist of it across, but the pin had much a rich backstory that isn't even referenced.

That's one of the few missed opportunities the film series had.

LOL. Why not?

I just got done watching CF. And damn still chills from it!

[Show spoiler]Especially when Katniss finds out there is no district 12 anymore. Then we end with the close up of her face going from Sad to I'm gonna make them pay face and cut to black! ooooh the feels!

Took my friend to see it, wasn't paying attention to it and regularly walked out to make small talk. Having never seen the previous films, made the right decision of going in hammered.

But yo, Jennifer Lawrence is on another level of sexiness here. You can ignore my ignorance on everything else, but she was straight fire. Only reason I wasted your time by making this post.

I would've been just as happy if they decided to use Jodie Foster or Sigourney Weaver, if not more, because they are more how I imagined the characters to look like, but Julianne did a great job with the role. She honestly made me like Coin with that

[Show spoiler]sort of maternal scene in the cafeteria (which I don't even remember reading). Almost makes me sad for her fate in Part 2 because she seems to genuinely care for Katniss in the movie version.

Man, I wish I had stayed for the after credits. I was surprised they didn't do that logo reveal right at the beginning of the credits like in Catching Fire. And because there hasn't been a precedent for after credits in The Hunger Games flicks so far (I actually stayed thru the credits of the first two movies), I didn't feel compelled to stay. But I did honestly feel like I was going to miss out on something by leaving early.

Oh, and was anyone surprised that they actually used a real title card for this movie with the actual logo font? I was stunned. Now it just feels inconsistent. Lol. With Harry Potter you always expected a big budget cloud sequence to spectacularly reveal the Harry Potter title, but for the past two Hunger Games outings they feel like they were just tacked on in black and white as "just a reminder" that you were indeed watching a Hunger Games movie. Couldn't even emboss and color it like one of the propos that played during the film "JOIN THE FIGHT!" (which reminded me of Covergirl and Subway's tie-in with Catching Fire from last year. lol)
