They're definitely fully milking it- have you seen the amount of merch that has come out for this movie? T-shirts, mockingjay pin replicas (some cheap-ish, some expensive), board games, card games, posters, cookbooks, etc.

The books are a bit different than the movie and I think in the later movies, it will become even more different from the book. They left some stuff out of the movie that I thought was pretty symbolic in the book.

Mockingjay was an awful book so I can't see how they're going to draw it out into two movies unless they completely change it. http://insidemovies.ew.com/2012/07/1...release-dates/

The Grey

Better then i expected. The first half was a little annoying and i couldn't care less about the characters at first but as it went on, the characters became more fleshed out and the story got better.

Fantastic film.

Have you seen The Day After? Would make for a great double bill with the above.

Hmmm...

Its a fantastic film and STILL depressing as hell. Found it much harder hitting than the Day After (maybe because of my location).

Ditto. Looking forward to check out The Day After (1983) & The War Game (1965). Thanks for the heads up. :)

Eddie: The Sleepwalking Cannibal (2012)



To some extent, it's like Frankenstein meets The Driller Killer! A beautiful dark horror comedy with a good cast, fine gore & from the beginning to the very end, there's some hilarious radio broadcasting!!

Recommended.
