Oh, and that new "Famous people discover their ancestors" show can suck it, too. Congratulations, you've turne US Weekly into a fucking prime time series. Die.
At the risk of seeming like a bloodthirsty monster, I do have trouble seeing how the director of the Hunger Games could adequately convey the inhumanity of the sport while also cutting away from every death scene.
And generally speaking, I feel like stylized, bloodless killing does a lot more to glorify violence than R-rated gore does.
Aftermarket car part companies are making me angry.
All the the reasonably priced exhaust systems for my car have "Burnt Titanium" tips. I think they looks stupid and would prefer a nice polished finish.
Are they welded on? Or bolt-on tips? Bolt-on are easy to replace. So are welded on really, if you have an angle grinder with a metal cutoff wheel.
So we get stiff once in a while. So we have a little fun. What’s wrong with that? This is a free country, isn’t it? I can take my panda any place I want to. And if I wanna buy it a drink, that’s my business.

Welded on. They are catback performance exhausts.
Yuck!
Depending on the diameter, you can probably find a bolt-on chrome tip that would go over them. Otherwise, a half hour with some 220 grit sandpaper would at least get rid of the "burnt" look.

There are a few that do not cut away.
You never see weapon penetration.
mild movie spoilers
You certainly see a kid take an arrow to the chest. You see a kid remove a spear from their chest. You see a kid get his neck snapped
I'd argue that the first one counts as penetration and are horrible regardless of "weapon penetration"
Not to mention the countless quick cuts of slashing and blood splatter.
I don't get the "not violent enough" angle some people are taking with their arguments.

Hmmm...
Sand off the crappy looks part, and then bust out the metal polish to give it a nice finish. It is 304 stainless after all.

Yeah, the TV marketing shot for broad appeal to net as many young men and adults as they could. The social network marketing, of which there was an astonishing amount, went right for young women and focused mostly on raising awareness that the movie based on the book they loved was coming soon. And the book was most certainly written for young women.
Really? It was "most certainly written for young women"?
Based on what?
I mean, what does that even mean?
Half of the second book is spent
with the main character in a cave or a tree or a tent agonizing over her feelings regarding a love triangle.

I liked the movie. I liked the book, too. Wasn't exactly "excited" about either, but they weren't bad. Biggest criticism about the film, after having read the novel, is the amount of character development they cut out once the games got started.
Biggest criticism about the film without considering the novel is how rushed the ending felt. The action was suitable for the rating they needed, no complaints there. It did run a bit long, though.

Hi, chat.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

And?
Not that that is a fair description of the second book, really, but even if it were, you haven't proven that "the book was most certainly written for young women."
My take on Hunger Games = don't watch it if you are a surly 30 year old man.
Otherwise it is pretty good for what it is supposed to be.
... WHY CAN'T I WATCH THIS MOVIE?!?!
Just trust that I am looking out for your best interests.
My dad, who I regularly go to hard-R horror films and who is looking forward to Lock Out, enjoyed the movie a fair amount.
So who knows!
I know. I just laid out a mandate for surly 30 year olds!
You think just anyone can write such commanding statements on the internet? Come on!
fisticuffs, sir!
Fight? In my $2000 dollar scrubs? Pffft!
(It was a very nice young adults movie made for young adults and done well. No shame in enjoying it. Unless you are me. Because I just wanted to see Woody and Sutherland drink scotch and yell at the kids to suck it up.)

I'm not taking the "not violent enough" angle - I've repeatedly stated my views regarding the violence in the movie. But regarding your spoiler.
You don't see Rue pull the spear out of her. The camera is still in the process of tilting down while she pulls it out, by the time the camera stops on her holding the spear it has already been removed from her body. There's a quick cut to Katniss's reaction as that kid hurls the spear and she fires her arrow - again, we do not see penetration, we cut back to it.
We do see a kid get his neck snapped, but there's no blood, so I wouldn't pool it with bloody, penetrating acts of violence. Blood and penetration are more a problem for ratings.

Woody's character is much more of a douche in the books.
They toned him down a good bit for the movie, sadly.

It is all so girly that I cannot comprehend anyone rejecting that conclusion. I don't care how subversive you want to be or how much you want to tear down gender stereotypes or whatever. That is some girl shit plain and simple. No man on earth is going to be riveted by the girliest girl drama to ever be girled in a girl book.

Hah. DK's version of that "scene" and the length it runs is wildly mischaracterized by his post. :P

I really don't give a shit about the Hunger Games but this is the second time I've seen this particular slapfight in chat.
And once again it hinges on the fact that "the book / whatever was largely enjoyed by young women" is not the same thing as "the book was written for young women".

He did seem to warm up to the kids a little quickly considering his demeanor when they first meet.
I mean he looks like he has been consulting for some time now, I would think he would be way more jaded.

It's not a bad movie. There's certainly parts worth enjoying and my dad enjoyed it a lot.
I, however, was pretty disappointed with it.

Fortunately I rarely consume media anywhere near its release date.
I'm not taking the "not violent enough" angle - I've repeatedly stated my views regarding the violence in the movie. But regarding your spoiler.
We do see a kid get his neck snapped, but there's no blood, so I wouldn't pool it with bloody, penetrating acts of violence. Blood and penetration are more a problem for ratings.
