Everybody cares about the Hunger Games

Everybody cares about the Hunger Games. It looks like a pretty badass movie, but I didn't see it last week.

I'm seeing it tomorrow.

When I told my friends, I expected them to be all disappointed and crap, but those who already saw it, didn't give a fuck, which was a big surprise. I didn't even need to ask what was wrong, but they told me anyway

"The books were so much better."

Books are always better. You want to know why? Because your imagination is way more awesome than some movie director and his crew throwing millions and millions of dollars into a movie. I love my imagination because half of the time my mental movie goes the way I want, with the exact actors I imagined.

The only time when the actors have been better than in aphrothenasWORLD is in the Harry Potter movies. I did not expect Daniel Radcliffe to look like Harry, but he put my Harry to shame.

Back to the Hunger Games: I'm going to see it tomorrow. This time it's certain, since I solidly made plans. Last week, my phone broke when I made plans. Good Golly I got a new phone.

The premiere of the Hunger Games and three days later, the internet was pissed that Rue was black. How do I know this? My youtube, twitter, facebook, newsfeed, dashboard, everything was filled. I even got notifications on my phone.

I had to ask my sister and my friends who this big BAMF Rue is and why everyone is so shocked that she's black. Of course that was a bad idea because I had to hear a 10 minute lecture-gasps and cries not included- on how much of a horrible person I am for not reading the book and basically the same quote over and over:

"HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW WHO RUE IS????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Because I never read the book.

Not meaning to give a spoiler or anything, but 80% if not higher probably already read the books. Rue is one of the Hunger Game tributes. She is just like Prim in a way and symbolically during the Games, she's Katniss's "sister".

I remembered asking my friend.

"So? She's just Rue. I heard that they all die, and only one can survive. Why is it such a big deal?"

I was surprised she didn't smack me, but she did look at me for two seconds and held her breath and then with paintbrush in hand began screaming at me:

"SHE ISN'T JUST RUE!!!!!! SHE IS RUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I have such Hunger Game hard friends and family. I wonder why it didn't rub off on me.

Everyone I asked so far said the movie either sucked, it's really good, or it's good for "the people who didn't read the books".

I'm one of those cursed people who didn't read the books who's now under Hunger Game fan abuse. Even my friend's grandma loves the Hunger Games. The night of the opening she brought a tee shirt, pins, and either a bracelet or necklace.

Now, I found a perfect solution to all of this:

That's right! :D An amazing Hunger Game poster made by me on Paint. You're welcome.

I decided to add my own watermark to my pictures now.
