  1. I went to see Mockingjay twice in the same theater. First room was about 60% full, second room was like 95% full. I had trouble finding a seat the second time, lol.
  2. Lmao I made everybody at my Thanksgiving dinner watch Catching Fire. Now they wanna see the last one which they apparently didn't know came out yet. Better promotion than Lionsgate.
  3. Ooh, well wouldn't that have lost the whole message of Mockingjay? Not to mention that it was the filmmakers fault, not the book's fault, that MJ1 wasn't as critically received as the first 2. They changed more than you'd think in the book, lol. I believe that it was mentioned somewhere else in the boards, but Katniss wasn't all googoo eyed and cry baby over Peeta in the novel. She was reluctant because she blamed every live lost on her actions (District 12, D8, etc.) Peeta was just one of the main ones caught up in her mess. I guess the screenwriters just wanted to focus on the love triangle. As for the action, she wasn't supposed to "shoot just one arrow the entire movie". She shot down hella planes and so did Gale. I honestly don't know why they narrowed it down to one dramatic shot, its not like they had a low budget. Plus that camera angle was awful. So many movie fans thinking that she was the one who blew up the hospital, lol.
  4. I think it's more of the split's part than the games' part. I mean the ending of Catching Fire was fucking mesmerizing. It promised blood. If Mockingjay remained one film, then it would have most definitely delivered. I mean war can easily substitute for the Games, especially now that Prezy Snow was a player. When the GA found out it was split, and WOM went around saying that Mockingjay was the least well-received book, some of the GA bailed. And the reviews for MJ1 didn't help in that case, either. But yeah, I most definitely blame LG for MJP2 not increasing from P1's sales. They fucked up with the marketing, and especially with no soundtrack this time around.
  5. Lol, woah. That's like 3 hours and 7 minutes long. Will this be over all screens, or just in select theaters?
  6. Damn. "We're fickle, stupid beings with poor memories and a great gift for self destruction." -Plutarch Heavensbee
  7. Sadly, that isn't shown in Mockingjay. All those disintegrating lights shown in the movie? They actually were supposed to melt off flesh and leave the skeleton hanging there. Whoops, spoiler alert.
  8. I mean it would be obvious that futuristic wars are gorier, right? Would you expect them to be less gory? That wouldn't make sense. Especially with the technology depicted in the films and novels, it would be a way scarier war with the technology they have in 2567? vs a war in the 1900s. Come on, now. Plus, in the book, it shows. Then again, you haven't read Mockingjay. But also, I haven't seen any of those movies. So it's evident that on both sides of the argument, we both have insufficient knowledge of the opposing side's point. I suggest we stop arguing on this topic, since it would be ignorant to continue.
  9. No, dude. When did that come out of my mouth? I was NOT suggesting that at all. Smh. I was saying it was harder for them to put THIS type of war into a PG-13 movie, because, since of all the advanced technology, they have hundreds of awful other horrendous ways to kill people. A lot of stuff happens in the book. That purple beam thing was just one of them. Interesting article to prove my point: http://www.ew.com/article/2015/11/24/mockingjay-part-2-book-movie?hootPostID=babb0d8266800d76b3ff4b0584194920
  10. It's really different with this. This is futuristic gory war shit, not WW1. There are scenes like where a gigantic purple beam shoots out into a highly populated area, forcing blood to come out of every hole in their body (eyes, nose, mouth, ears, etc). Katniss was over here SLIPPING in the gore, lol. They literally SLAVED over this movie in order for it to be PG-13. Lmao, Mockingjay fucks you up.
  11. That had no affect, it was something else. The first HG movie was in March, and then the rest of them moved to November. If it didn't affect the gross (at least negatively) for THG, why would it for HP?
