Hi there bloggies, I’ve been seeing some post warning me of an A – Z Challenge and I was curious. I’ve seen this around before but have never participated, for some mad reason I thought I would give it a go.
So here I am.
My theme is the A-Z of Scifi moves, I’ve not given this a great deal of thought and I know of a number but I won’t lie there’s some I will struggle with. I hope you enjoy them!
H is for The Hunger Games
Katniss volunteers to take her sisters place after she’s choses to take place in the annual Hunger Games after the 12 districts of Panem try and rebel against the ruling Government run by President Snow.As the 24 players are released, after a quick cull half are taken down then it’s up to Katniss to stay alive and become the last to survive.
Until the rules change and one other can survive.
Hunger games is great, with a huge cult following. The plot is simple, the strength of the story is in the characters, their own individual stories and what they will do to stay alive. Like a modern day Running Man this story is big on corrupt dystopian societies, the power of media and how it can corrupt and how far will a man go to keep power?
This was H – the odd one out. Now that’s done! Phew!

It also happened to be the closest Jupiter will be for a long time, so I was keen to get out and see what images … Continue reading Jupiter and Saturn – autumn planets

Eventually I chose this one, alshtough I have to say now that I would have done … Continue reading 2001 – An Art Odyssey
Dear Mr Alien… Division
Dear Mr Alien, I do have to ask for your help here, you’ve probably done all of this and know what we’ve got to do but why do we humans make it so difficult for ourselves? Can you tell us where we’re going wrong? We humans as a race are divided like this and in … Continue reading Dear Mr Alien… Division

So THIS is your H post and a good choice at that! I read all the books and watched all the films too, although I did not quite agree with Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss. I thought the film adaptation of the books was pretty good, and didn’t shy away from the violence portrayed in the books.

How come you didn’t agree with Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss?

I’ve always thought that Jennifer Lawrence looked a little too smug and when I read the books, that’s not the look I imagined Katniss would have
