This gave me a chuckle...

Haha. Thanks. I knew a lot of it was filmed in Dupont (a quick drive from here). I'm more interested in Last of the Mohicans hikes myself. :-)

what is a Hunger Games?

Google is your friend....

Got kids, Steven? Bet they will know. :)

haha, although a bit embarrassing, I will admit that I thoroughly enjoyed the Hunger Games, even as a 27 year old. Might not be the most original story (Lord of the Flies meets Battle Royal) but hot Damn, it was a page turner. I will probably catch this flick.

I'm not embarrassed at all that I read and loved all 3 books. They all well-written, not the mush of the Twilight series. There is a good reason they are the 3 best-sellers. The heroine is strong and independent-something you don't often see portrayed in any media. I have sons, but Katniss is an incredible role for a young woman character. I'm almost afraid to see the movie. It could ruin the characters created by the book. Who am I kidding; I'll go see it.

And DuPont is the perfect place to film the scene from the games. Its described as being bright green and a waterfall plays a prominent role.

haha you're right Ben, no need for feeling embarrassed. As a matter of fact, adults of all ages are definitely eating it up. In the past year, I've personally recognized the book as being the hands-down most commonly spotted book read on the Boston subway by your typical "9 to 5" commuter.

"I'm almost afraid to see the movie. It could ruin the characters created by the book. Who am I kidding; I'll go see it."

A good friend who adored the books went to see the movie last night. She said it did not disappoint.

My daughter loved the books and she liked the movie as well. She was glad it did not depict the violence as she had read it. She also read the Twilight series and enjoyed that but the movies, particularly the last one almost seemed like a parody.
I am curios myself.
