I forgot to mention that I saw the trailer for the new the The Hunger Games movie when I went and saw Blue Beetle (the prequel, you know?) and it does look really good (even though at first I was unsure about it). I'm probably for sure going to see it when it comes out. Though this will be the first time that I haven't read the book first... unless I do end up reading the book between now and then.

#friends how do we feel about the 'the ballad of songbirds and snakes' novel?#because for me personally. and a lot of people i know... i honestly preferred the hunger games movies more than the books (even though you #have to love and appreciate the books. of course. because without them there would be no films)#is it the same with the prequel?#though i also know that many fans prefer the books and hate the movies: thinking the movies left out too much and that kind of thing #but yeah. since i DID prefer the movies. and think there's a good chance it might be the same way again. i'm thinking i might just watch th #movie first or maybe not even read the book at all #even though i'm usually of the mind of always reading the book. of course. and usually first #i think my reasons for preferring the movies are as follows... i really hated katniss in the books. i'm sorry. but i did. but seeing her #brought to life with the way jennifer lawrence played her really made me love her #also. people complain about some things the movies left out. and i definitely get that. to each their own #but i personally love the things the movies ADDED! that we didn't get to see since we're stuck in katniss' pov. that i think just bettered #the stories so much #and some (surely not all) of the things that were left out that people complained about i feel like aren't THAT needed?#like they didn't explain the avoxes #but i also feel like if you're smart you can clearly figure out what the capitol did to them #idk. this is just my opinion of course. anyone is free to disagree #but i say all as this as someone who isn't SUPER into the hunger games #i only read the books once. years ago. and i haven't seen the movies in a while. so i'm sure there are things i may have forgotten and migh #be getting wrong here #oh! another thing too is that i've seen people mention that they felt like suzanne collins' writing style with thg is almost script-like.#even though it's not a script of course #and that that might be another reason that i. and so many others prefer them as movies #because it was almost like she was writing the books TO be made into movies
