A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Aha!
I'd love to know how old the person that made it was. I didn't think that LotR movies and Percy Jackson had a huge huge overlap.
Is that Uma Thurman in the clip? I thought I recognised her. I have seen half the movie, but I don't actually, you know, remember it.

The website? She's 18.
What is The FP?
The website? She's 18.
Which website? I meant the tumblr post. I'm at her tumblr, and I don't see her age there. Where are you seeing it?
Though it appears it's not about her fandoms, so it's not as relevant. I guess it's kinda random.

Oops, I was just looking at the tumblr post you linked to, not the tumblr post of the person who made it.
You NCistas know there's a school near...Apex? I think? for Japanese archery, right? The art of Kyudo is more akin to longbow than the compound stuff bowhunters use these days.
Oooooooooh. Hmmmm. Not . . . this month, anyway. But I'm gonna pinboard it. Thanks, Beverly!
I took archery my freshman year of college, and that was apparently one of the wettest springs the area had seen in decades. The field where we practiced was underwater as often as not. We spent a lot of time watching archery-related movies. I think I got a B just for showing up. So my knowledge of archery is mostly that you can't do it for gym credit while standing ankle deep in water. Or at least, UNC's lawyers don't want you to try.
What is The FP?
It is a movie about a dystopian world where rival gangs battle for territory in grueling Dance Dance Revolution matches.
Seriously.
Thanks, P-C. I finally clicked on the article -- from what ita posted, I thought it was something I should have known. Not so much, it turns out.
It sounds like West Side Story on meth.
Wow. People are not just mad that she put Percy Jackson and Twilight on it (also Narnia, a bit), they're mad at her. Jeez. Just, you know, don't reblog. There's plenty of stuff I don't reblog because I don't totally like it, and mutter about it somewhere else, but to reblog and comment RIGHT THERE is horribly rude.
I hope no one is remaking the post without that row in it. But people are that rude.
For a film that demands two paragraphs of detailed plot description, one of the great virtues of “The Hunger Games” is that it leaves a hell of a lot of stuff unspoken. The dimensions of the world and the rules of the Games notwithstanding, the story occupies itself almost exclusively with Katniss’ interior life.
Among the movie’s only real shortcomings are its frenetic, handheld visual style, and its occasional (unexplained to rubes like yours truly) digressions to satiate fans of the source material.
Sounds promising!

As action, as allegory, as cinema, The Hunger Games is the best American science-fiction film since The Matrix.
