Heard about it on the radio this morning.

3500 theaters sold out across the country. Tickets are/were selling at a rate of 10 per second.

That's the problem... the story isn't like that at all, but the movie apparently is... Quote from another site:

Read the wiki, the trilogy is about a love triangle as well as the stuff you mention. It appears to be everything the movie makes it out to be.

The actors in those movies are usually 25 pretending to be 17, and 25 is fair game for a 40 y/o cougar

Got it for cheap and it's a good streaming/Netflix platform. Wish it did Hulu, still got to use the Xbox for that or I would get rid of the Xbox since I don't really play games anymore on it.

I have a shitload of apple stuff. An iMac, a bunch of airport expresses, airport extreme, Apple TV, iPad 3, and my wife has an iPhone 4S. I know what I am talking about when it comes to Apple stuff.

I thought this movie was good too. Surprisingly good. The first scene when the kids are released on each other is fucking epic. Lots of good kid on kid killing.

Read the book, thought the movie was better in a lot of ways. I liked how they showed stuff going on the capital, when the book was all from the girl's point of view of the entire shit.

You get a lot more detail on some aspects from the book, that would of been nice to know in the movie, like the dogs at the end were actually zombified mutant kids that were killed previously. That was awesome.
