The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)

Instant Comments:
2: hehe "put down the cards" "tell us what you really think"
2: hmm. fear and flogging makes sense but I figured it'd be like through media. not direct beating of regular people. I feel like if anything sich directness is more of a push towards rebellion
2: oh ok, so Haymitch is from district 12...
2: wow. i thought they were gonna beat up her sister for raising the salute...
2: how did she get moves like that with her bow shooting.... rolling and such. nothing she ever hunted before would have given her that training. at least not with that accuracy. though to be fair it didnt seem she had to hit vitals.
2: I was thinking what even does she have to do... and then to see her hang up that dummy... "Seneca Crane" yikes
2: wait how did this brother and sister alive if only one winner of Hunger Games
2: I don't remember the secret but I imagine the dress burns up and becomes a different dress
2: nice. it indeed burns up and becomes a mockingjay dress
2: Oh... when Katniss hugs Haymitch to remind them of their deal, I remembered how the movie ends (a ship comes breaking through the hauls her out of there)
2: ugh the fog. fucking pve agaun...
2: ah. ok I was wondering in my head, why did she reveal her position. I thought perhaps Peeta stepped on her or perhaps she figured the baboons would smell her out anyways. But Peeta says to Katniss that she sacrificed herself for him...
2: I guess tick tock means something happens on the hour. and in the zone of the hour. there must have been 24 starting points dividing the area into 12 hours. earlier katniss counted 12. and the smart person in shock must realize already this is the pattern. also the flood that just happened it came in and it was fully contained by the shield before dissipating.
2: hmm... Plutarch makes sense. the bits of foreshadowing were there but perhaps not enough to make me comment. his remark at the dance, he volunteered, he stopped the spinning wheel when Katniss was underwater...
2: they couldn't have planned for Katniss to shoot the ceiling with the arrow attached to the wire... what was their real exit strategy?
2: sounds like Coldplay, Florence & The Machine, and the Lumineers. [ah, it wasn't Florence & the Machine but Of Monsters and Men]
2: the credits list Imagine Dragons. but only a couple instrumental bars of their track plays after the lumineers songs.
