The Hunger Games

Firstly, let me get this out of the way: I haven't read the books. I've considered it, and I do want to, in the same way I would like to read A Song Of Fire And Ice. I probably will, at some point when I'm less invested in fandom and have more time. Maybe over the summer or something.
That being said, I'm really, really looking forward to the movie. It looks awesome. I adore dysotopia and I like the social aspect. The historian/anthropologist in my likes to see if there are actual thought-out ways that we could return to out-and-out gladiatorial spectacles.
Also, kids being badass and people shooting bows is usually enough for me anyways.

This vid has been getting me ridic excited. I only wish there was some way to see the midnight showing and then not have to miss SPN. I'm trying to not think about the fact that I'll have to wait 'till Sunday to actually go see it.
(The vid has bits and pieces from trailers and clips: the maker says it's spoilery, but if you know the basic background of the movie and have seen all the trailers like me, you're fine)

Confession: I've only read the first book, I just really haven't had the time to read the other two, but I'm pretty excited about the movie. It does look really good and from as far as I can tell it's pretty accurate to the book.

I think depending on how much I like the movie, it'll dictate how long it takes me to read the books.
