Hunger Games Catching Fire Already Sucks

By Bill March 07, 2013 @ 2:15 PM


I wanted to like The Hunger Games. Like every other dude, I’m big on Jennifer Lawrence. I like science fiction. And the sight of fully grown warriors ripping the heads off of hapless middle school opponents gives me feelings of intense vicarious joy. But, at some point, you just realized, Hunger Games is fantasy action for chicks.

Girls like some cool stuff. It’s not that they can’t. But girls also like wardrobe and romance and the far-fetched fantasy of finding a cute boy with a great haircut who will value them for more than just sex. There was too way too much of that in The Hunger Games. It was like watching a music video from one of those Lilith Fair artists who now hawk signature lines of vegan scones and strum their guitars in coffee houses that smell like lesbians. Way too much emo self-reflection, not nearly enough blood. And zero sex or skin.

The second part of the trilogy, Catching Fire, looks to be about the same. Jennifer Lawrence sure has nailed the ‘thoughtful melancholy stare into the distance’. Would it kill her to work on her ‘topless, prone, and being nailed from behind’ look? No. And it would make the next Hunger Games much better.

Take a look at some pictures out from the production set:

    I took a week away from checking out wwtdd and decided, “hey, lets give it another shot!” Shouldn’t have. Your still trying too hard. Still trying to sound like the old writer. Come up with a new style – you’re no good at this one. Officially removing you from my bookmarks.

    I really, really wish you would read the books before you try–and fail–to say something meaningful about, well, anything, really.

    The Hunger Games is about slavery, cruelty and rebellion. It’s not an “emo chick romance”.

    Children are taken from the 12 Districts of Panem and sent to battle to the death for the Capitols enjoyment and also as punishment and a reminder that to obey the Capitol, or suffer. The Districts are heavily guarded by Peace Keepers that will shoot within a second for simply being hungry and not suffering in silence. They’re starving, freezing and forced to live in misery to keep them in check. Katniss defies the Capitol by pretending to be in love with Peeta so they can both live (it’s not a romance, she’s faking, much like your girlfriend most likely does during sex) and in turn embarrasses the President and causes the people in the other districts to rebel (once again) against the cruelty that is forced upon them.

    In Catching Fire, they get sent back into the games as punishment (they’re real big on it) and Snow hopes to kill Katniss. This causing more of a rebellion. It starts a war and everyone dies -.- Mockingjay, the third, will feature the war. The “cute guy” you say we’re all crushing on gets tortured to the point where he doesn’t know who he is and tries to kill Katniss himself. Prim, Katniss’s sister, whom she went into the games to save, gets blown up along with thousands of children…

    I could go on.

    If you want to hate on something and have a legit argument, hate on Twilight. But here, you just don’t have one.

    Smells like lesbians? Jesus man do you even know what a vagina looks like or is your moms still the closest you have ever been to one?

    This is fucking terrible.

  5. whatswritten 03/07/2013 18:05

    Besides the fact it’s not even fucking news. “Oh a movie is coming out this year I might not personally like. I’m going to write about it.” Terrible.

    “Would it kill her to work on her ‘topless, prone, and being nailed from behind’ look? ”

    a corny virgin wrote this, its obvious

    “It was like watching a music video from one of those Lilith Fair artists who now hawk signature lines of vegan scones and strum their guitars in coffee houses that smell like lesbians.”

    i bet this ‘writer’ typed that sentence and looked it over proudly, like “yeah! people are gonna love that! its so descriptive and witty! hee hee!!” trying way too hard. you suck

    there are a lot of haters out today.

    this shit is funny if you ask me.

    people come to this site for corny/high school humor dont they? it takes me away from my day to day at the office and gives me pictures of hot girls asses.

    ive been reading this shit for years now, and have never commented once. until I reblogged this and as such read all the prior comments on the post.

    if you dont like it dont read it. i personally think its hilarious and is exactly the type of post i come to this site for

    This is my new favorite website…not because it is good (hint: it is not) but because of the comments. I have probably been reading this blog now for five years (I dunno if its been around quite that long) and I never had the need to sign up or comment. But now, alas, I cannot resist. This site sucks. Or, as your crack team would have written it, this amalgam of detritus has about as much appeal as a fastidious marmot skillfully gravitating towards a pristine autu…of fuck. I can’t even fake making up shit this bad.

    To the one guy who writes this shit (because I refuse to believe there could be more than one of you with this little talent, here is my single piece of advice:

    Less is more. Meaning it would be a lot better if you stopped writing entirely.

    Love and kisses,

    Jesus

    “if you dont like it dont read it. i personally think its hilarious and is exactly the type of post i come to this site for”

    If all you come for is the ;unfunny wit of the new writers don’t read the comments.

    Okay, Hunger Games IS an Emo chick flick, and White Rabbit better be one, or he’s doing the best impersonation I’ve ever seen.

    Seriously, the guy who cried to “leave Brittany alone” called and asked you to stop embarrassing yourself.

    >people come to this site for corny/high school humor dont they?<

    No.

    Tits and adult humor.

    What were getting is junior high humor.

    tl;dr You suck.

    I have read the book and if it’s close to or the same as the book then it will be awesome. The only way they screw this up is if they hire bad actors and have crappy CGI.
