Catching fire

Hi all,

Some days ago me and Johan had a movie night and watched the second film in the Hunger Games series. I loved the first movie and didn´t expect the second to be as good as that one, BUT it was!!


I loved this one too and now I long to see the third! I almost think of reading the third book=)

If you´ve seen this movie - what did you think?

Hii!

I didn't like the first movie... Last Sunday I watched "Dallas Buyers Club". Was a really nice movie. 2 Oscar winners in the leading role ;-))

Sometimes I think the books are better than the movies. Most of the time they forget important parts.

Enjoy your day :)

God morgon Anette :)
I have only read the first two books so far and I watched the first movie because it was on tv. I haven't watched the second one yet but I guess I'm going to soon. Moreover, I need to read the third book because the ending of the second book made me really curious.

Hope you have a nice day. :)

Hi Anette!

Oh yes, it´s a really great one. I must admit that when part one was in cinemas I thought it was ok but wasn´t so keen on it. I think I also mentioned that here when it was actual. This part two I saw with two friends and I found it totally great and then, I watched part one again and meanwhile I must say that both parts belong to my real favourites concerning films. The story is just so great and intelligent I find, when you think about what the plot wants to explain. Me too, I long for part three :). I don´t know if you heard about it, but it´s a pity that Philip Seymour Hofman, who played Plutarch Heavensby in part two, died in february. I don´t know much about him, but I think it´s terrible when someone dies so from me, R.I.P. to him.

And me too, after part two I decided to read the books because of this cliffhanger at the end of the film which is really mean. But I want to start at the beginning so I already own the first two books but haven´t read them so far. I still am into "A Song of Ice and Fire", now into the last book of the german versions and on monday, I ordered the english ones, mostly because I´ll give a presentation about the first book in english and today, they arrived. All five books together to a good price :). but reading them in english is something I planned in general some time ago, I think it´s a great exercise to improve the language and learn more about it.

I wish you a nice day and by the way, your crossfit photos are a great impression :). Me and some friends were at the gym last week too because we want to start with it (for me it´s mostly about losing weight), but it is quite expensive so today, we will head to another one I heard from yesterday that isn´t that expensive and try it out. Hope it will be fun :). Enjoy your day Anette, take good care and lots of hugs to you! :).

Hello, Anette!

I'd like to advice to to read the third book but I don't like it, so I wouldn't do it=)
First book is my favourite in this set. But I hope you will like it.

Wish you good luck,
Nacy

I've not seen Catching Fire yet but while it was been shown in the movie houses a few months back I decided to watch the first Hunger Games on Netflix one cold wintery evening :-) I enjoyed it and I intend to watch Catching Fire at some point.


I don't know about Sweden but here in England Anette, when all the big new movie releases are being shown in the cinema, they are plastered onto the sides of double-decker buses to advertise them. I distinctly remember late last year when Catching Fire was being shown in the movie houses, the double-decker bus that was approaching me on the other side of the road with Katniss aiming her bow and arrow at me as it drove past :-D

Have a nice evening Anette! :-)

Catching Fire is my "new" all time favourite movie since I first saw it! I loved it so much, more than the first one, and in my opinion it's even greater than the book. I want to watch it again so badly, though I have to wait for the DVD to come out, sigh. So, for me it's an awesome film, even though I didn't really enjoy the book.
Sleep well and good night,
Vicky

Hi Anette !

I loved Catching Fire too, I can't wait to see the third movie. You should read the third book if you have time, I had read the trilogy after seeing the first movie and I promise it didn't steal me my excitement and joy for the second movie.

I know it has nothing to do, but I had read your interview in Rock Hard (the March issue in France - yes, I'm French, please forgive me if my english isn't perfect...) and I wanted to thank you for your honests answers (about Nightwish and about your solo album coming).

I love the song "Falling" (and I'm mostly a rock and metal fan, I think you don't have to worry about that, because really, I don't care and people shouldn't care about the "category", what counts is whatever the music is good or not - I listen to some pop too, I'm not close-minded).

So I can't wait for the release of your album, I'm gonna buy it for sure, because you have talent and I like what you're doing.

I wanted to thank you also for explaining why you're not in Showtime, Storytime, because when I bought it, I wasn't even aware of all that, I search informations about it after discover what happened, and I admit I was very sad not having a DVD live of Nightwish with you. Now that you said all about it, I understand and I'm not disappointed about this anymore, so thanks for your explanations <3

I wish you success for you career and happiness in all aspects of your life (it's a little late I know, but congratulations for Mio, didn't have the occasion to tell you before, sorry <3)

Love from France,

Catherine ~

Hi :). I have only seen the first one from this trilogy and it was quite good. I don't think that it's the best ever, like some do, but good.
I haven't seen the second one but maybe I will... if you say that it's so good ;)... and if I already saw the first one, I have to watch the rest.
Maybe I should also read the books, somehow I enjoy reading much more than watching movies and it annoys me that every book has to be made into a movie.

Hi Anette!

I really loved it and actually started reading the entire trilogy afterwards. I was completely addicted to the story for 2 weeks :D Every time I was done with something I had to do, I was like "oh, yes, this means I can read some more!"

Looking forward to the third one, I heard they were going to split it like they did with Harry Potter 7...

X Sophie
