Most of the promo stuff looks great, but I'm just going to keep saying it over and over: Josh Hutcherson makes me yawn just looking at him. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 21, 15:30 7
- mmhmm. -- nm - kelly Feb 21, 16:03
- oh i think the lead male casting is turrible -- nm - pixitude Feb 21, 15:31 5
  - I'm willing to believe that Hemsworth could possibly add something interesting. But Hutcherson is like cold oatmeal. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 21, 15:33 4
    - I still lament that Hutcherson didn't get Spider-Man. -- nm - David Feb 21, 15:34 3
      - "Can he swing from a web? Take a look over zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......." nm - ralph wiggum Feb 21, 15:53 2
        
        The more I watched The Social Network, the less I liked Andrew Garfield. - David Feb 21, 16:07 1
        
        Yeah, I don't care that much about Andrew Garfield either way. Seemed like a weird casting choice for Spiderman. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 21, 16:21
wait...4 films? - znufrii Feb 21, 15:11 25
- The plan is to split Mockingjay into two movies -- nm - amoxy Feb 21, 15:15 23
  - I get that this is a trend and all, but I don't think enough happens in the book to warrant it. - ty97 Feb 21, 15:30
  - NOt a fan of that cuz that's the book with the least plot imo. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 21, 15:24 6
    - Oh, it's got plot out the wazoo. It's just convoluted. - David Feb 21, 15:27 4
      - Well....I think the ending is so rushed that it detracts from the book significantly. (spoils) - Will Hunting Feb 21, 15:29 3
        
        I am right there with you. That's why I would like to see those ideas explored in detail. - David Feb 21, 15:32 2
        
        The third won't. The fourth has the (spoils) - TFox Feb 21, 15:41 1
        
        Yeah, that's right. Okay, one of the two won't. -- nm - David Feb 21, 16:06
    - No way. -- nm - TFox Feb 21, 15:25
  - I'm all for this since the ending of Mockingjay is such a clusterfuck. -- nm - David Feb 21, 15:18 13
    - except it has nothing to do with that, and everything to do with milking another $10 out of your audience. -- nm - znufrii Feb 21, 15:21 12
      - I plan on seeing the first two. Even if Mockingjay is one film, i won't bother. -- nm - ty97 Feb 21, 15:31
      - That was true of Twilight. It's only 70/30 here. -- nm - David Feb 21, 15:24
      - I rewarded Harry Potter: Deathly Hallows Part 1 a big fat F for the practice too. -- nm - Qale Feb 21, 15:23 9
        
        Yeah, we need to talk about how you grade things. -- nm - David Feb 21, 15:25 8
        
        7 Part 1 is a disaster of a film. With a pace barely above comatose, littered with an obscene amount of worthless cameos, and then just ends. - Qale Feb 21, 15:29 7
        
        It's a slow film but nothing even close to what you describe. - David Feb 21, 15:31 5
        
        facts -- nm - TFox Feb 21, 15:54
        
        David Yates had enough time doing character study while he was busy screwing up Half-Blood Prince. - Qale Feb 21, 15:36 3
        
        Half-Blood Prince is a masterpiece. -- nm - David Feb 21, 15:37 2
        
        now, this is crazy.....they missed the tone badly -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 21, 16:17
        
        HAHAHAHAH!! That's halarious. You've been sniffin' too much of something in Snape's private stash. - Qale Feb 21, 15:40
        
        Crazy sauce....and I'm not a huge fan of Movies 6 & 7-1/2. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 21, 15:30
  - I figured as much, but I can't see that there's really two entire films worth of material there... - znufrii Feb 21, 15:16
- Just skip 'em and watch Battle Royale instead. -- nm - Qale Feb 21, 15:15
