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 1844 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 1760 Views
Oh Yes, the Hunger Games are *just* like Health Care Reform. Vivien - 06/03/2012 05:47:18 PM 1598 Views
Yes, a ruling class makes life & death decisions for you, and popularity influences them heavily Cannoli - 07/03/2012 10:25:40 PM 1819 Views
I heard they were awful... ? - 05/03/2012 01:11:07 AM 1514 Views

That's not true ironclad - 07/03/2012 12:41:06 PM 1878 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 1566 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 1545 Views
You can't improve on perfection Tom - 12/03/2012 06:36:38 PM 1493 Views
Hmm. rebelaessedai - 30/03/2012 05:12:24 AM 1585 Views
They're worth reading. (Everyone, do just try reading the first book) Ideally, before movie. Vivien - 06/03/2012 05:44:58 PM 1524 Views

First person present tense sounds horrible for me ironclad - 07/03/2012 12:42:12 PM 1821 Views
Even before reading on wikipedia, I thought, "this is a rip-off of Battle Royale." Tom - 10/03/2012 01:33:55 AM 1451 Views
Definitely can vouch for the movie. *NM* Panorphaeon - 10/03/2012 07:55:32 PM 770 Views
