Idiotic Hunger Games fans are upset because black characters in the book are black in the movie

This past weekend, The Hunger Games raked in over $155 million in box office revenue, and while reviews have been mostly positive, there seemed to be a number of idiotic movie goers who thought the movie had too many black people. Even though the relationship of race and class is a central theme to the story. You just can’t stop stupid, unless I suppose with a well-placed arrow.

IHC Movie Review: The Hunger Games

The Hunger Games, the first of hopefully several movies based on the popular book series, has finally been released amidst much fanfare and kicks off the summer movie season. Many have been eagerly anticipating its release, while some are dubbing it Twilight: Part Deux. So is Hunger Games the movie on fire, or just another Tribute?

The Hunger Games: Districts of Panem mapped

A fanatical Hunger Games fan that goes by the name V. Arrow put a ridiculous amount of thought and effort into mapping out Panem’s 13 Districts. Her process is outlined in the aimmyarrowshigh LiveJournal. She’s also got a book in the works dubbed The Panem Companion: An Unofficial Guide to Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games.

Check out the brand new Super Bowl trailer for The Hunger Games

There isn’t a whole lot of action so far in The Hunger Games trailers, but I love the mood and the environment and the whole look of the thing. I might actually have to read the book.

Check out the first official trailer for The Hunger Games

I’ve never read the book, but this doesn’t look too bad. I hate to be that guy, but I still think Battle Royale did it better. Or at least crazier.

The first teaser for The Hunger Games shows up at last night’s MTV VMAs

You may have noticed a complete lack of talking about the film adaptation of The Hunger Games on this site, and that’s just because I had never read the book and couldn’t really get excited about it. And while this teaser trailer is just a teaser, it does get me sort of excited about it.

A synopsis for those who are in the same boat as me:

Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. Part twisted entertainment, part government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains. Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

And a lower quality YouTube version of the trailer if you’re outside the US.
