Kids were bugging me to watch, so I relented. Not too bad in and of itself, but jeez, could they have copied The Hunger Games any more closely?

It was interesting to me and the kids. You are right though it is rental or cheap buy.

kodi will change the movie industry exactly like napster reformed the music industry.

within 10 years, evey movie and tv show you could ever want will be available ad support on a free app like spotify.

all you people need to do is quit renting and buying movies as they come now. its a ripoff and we need to change the system

The Hunger Games, Divergent, Maze Runner, Ender's Game, etc. - seems like the Dystopian Adventure-Thriller is really the in-thing right now.

. .. You gotta be thankful that at least its not homosexual-looking skinnyjeans vampires anymore, though.


isn't ender's game from the 1980s? ...and really about adolf hitler? =D

naturally i know you mentioned it because it recently had the big hollywood cash-in in the wake of the post-hunger-games "teen fantasy adventure" craze, and of course hollywood is loathe to try anything that either hasn't been successfully done before or rides the coattails of something bankable at the moment, but still the source material for ender's game is old enough to look out of place on that list you rattled off.
