Movies

Maybe we should just have two separate ratings for movies on here:

A+ for Hunger Games for everyone else, F- for accountant_4_Jesus (or something like that). I just wanted to say seriously, though, I appreciate you giving me the heads-up about what different movies are like and contain, it's helping me decide whether or not they would be good for me to watch with a clear conscience.

Wrap: Gary Ross [GAROS] returning as director for Catching Fire [HGAM2] RazorHawk Jan 16, 15:45

According to that, Simon Beaufoy is already at work on the script. Neat! {nm} Paul2k Jan 16, 15:53

Paul, have you read the Hunger Games trilogy? What are they like? {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jan 16, 16:26

I have read them. I enjoyed them...for what is labeled "Young Adult" fiction, they're kinda dark and dystopic. Very engaging though. {nm} Paul2k Jan 16, 16:28

What do you mean by dark? How dark do they get? {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jan 16, 16:32

People die. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 16, 16:36

People die in the Hardy Boys Casefiles, that doesn't necessarily mean it's "dark" lol. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jan 16, 16:38

SPOILER! Kids die. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Jan 16, 16:51

Very violent, immoral, and God/religion are not believed in {nm} islander Jan 16, 17:07

I don't recall seeing that in the Hardy Boys casefiles I read. Maybe you're thinking of that heathen, Nancy Drew. {nm} Paul2k Jan 16, 17:09

LOL. Maybe it was just that one Hardy Boys casefile that you never got to read... accountant_4_Jesus Jan 16, 17:15

You shouldn't feel guilty about watching a movie. Watching a movie doesn't mean that you agree with or sympathize with any of the ideas Ruthian23 Jan 16, 21:45

I've tried to base my recent movie-going decisions on what I've learned from God's Word. accountant_4_Jesus Jan 16, 22:13

Have a look at this interview with SSODE, the third entry on the page, "Transcribing Steven Soderbergh." second gary Jan 17, 07:26

What does having or not having religion have to do with being immoral, violent, or dark? SPOILER INSIDE DTXbro Jan 16, 19:01

Post was just for acct. A Godless society may be a theme that could affect his interest {nm} islander Jan 16, 19:15

To avoid spoilers, let's just say if the films were a faithful adaptation of the books, they'd be rated R no question. {nm} stevie1der328 Jan 16, 17:23

Ok, thanks for letting me know that. {nm} accountant_4_Jesus Jan 16, 17:24

Nowhere near as dark as Battle Royale... :) {nm} skamanfu Jan 16, 16:57

Speaking of which, they're releasing Battle Royale I and II stateside on blu-ray March 20th, just in time for The Hunger Games. {nm} Jelly Jan 16, 17:20

Wasn't there supposed to be a 3D theatrical release? {nm} islander Jan 16, 17:23

Not sure about the 3D theatrical release, but I did catch a screening recently at Cinefamily here in LA (only in 2D) skamanfu Jan 16, 17:45

there's no demand for the 3d release {nm} Moviesnob Jan 16, 19:03

The Harry Potter books were dark as well. Especially the later books. mrbeankc Jan 16, 20:15
