What about the fact it plagiarizes a better book and movie? Tom Send a noteboard - 10/03/2012 04:38:15 PM
I don't buy the "I came up with the same idea independently" any more than when Goodkind says it about his shitty series plagiarizing an equally shitty Wheel of Time.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

I actually really liked the third book Darth_Katie - 04/03/2012 07:05:28 PM 1382 Views
I took it as both a lot more than reality TV satire, and not really that at all. Cannoli - 04/03/2012 10:56:22 PM 1259 Views
Oh Yes, the Hunger Games are *just* like Health Care Reform. Vivien - 06/03/2012 05:47:18 PM 1094 Views
Yes, a ruling class makes life & death decisions for you, and popularity influences them heavily Cannoli - 07/03/2012 10:25:40 PM 1296 Views
I heard they were awful... ? - 05/03/2012 01:11:07 AM 1030 Views

Where's the divided opinion? Vivien - 06/03/2012 05:48:47 PM 1104 Views
That's not true ironclad - 07/03/2012 12:41:06 PM 1230 Views
It's anything like twilight only in the sense that it has a lot of fans. Vivien - 07/03/2012 03:36:43 PM 1081 Views

Which plagiarized Dune and so on and so forth. [Battle Royale plagiarized the Lotterry, etc, etc] Vivien - 12/03/2012 06:29:35 PM 1062 Views
You can't improve on perfection Tom - 12/03/2012 06:36:38 PM 1037 Views
Hmm. rebelaessedai - 30/03/2012 05:12:24 AM 1138 Views
They're worth reading. (Everyone, do just try reading the first book) Ideally, before movie. Vivien - 06/03/2012 05:44:58 PM 1039 Views
AND you can read the first one easily in 2 days Sir Tybalt - 14/03/2012 08:55:57 AM 917 Views

First person present tense sounds horrible for me ironclad - 07/03/2012 12:42:12 PM 1183 Views
Even before reading on wikipedia, I thought, "this is a rip-off of Battle Royale." Tom - 10/03/2012 01:33:55 AM 983 Views
Definitely can vouch for the movie. *NM* Panorphaeon - 10/03/2012 07:55:32 PM 514 Views
