But before we get to the feature, I want to let all of you know that the group #CR-FanArt-Contests is holding a Re-design a Character Contest
This week will feature fanart from the book series The Hunger Games (for no other reason than I just finished reading it for my Pop fiction class).

Past Features
Fire Emblem
The Hobbit
Baten Kaitos
Wheel of Time
Phantom of the Opera










Now the movie was a bit better, I think. Not great, and lmao yeah sort of a bad version of Battle Royale, but it was pretty good, compared to the books at least.
Although, basically anything is better than Twilight so saying that I liked Katniss' attitude towards romance not being appropriate in that situation isn't saying much, especially since it's basically the only thing I liked about her. But I do agree with you; it was really hard to connect with any of the characters because they were little more than names, when they weren't just physical descriptions (ex. fox faced girl).
I'm sure my mother-in-law will subject me to the movie eventually
And yes, all the other characters felt rather simplistic, perhaps because of the first-person narrative thing that went on.
Same thing we had with Twilight happened here I think; narrator had some serious tunnel vision and could not be assed to actually notice other things in the environment
