Tome Thursday: Mockingjay

 

Hello everyone!

 

And just like that, as the Pokemon trainers say - we caught them all!

 

LOL.

 

I'm actually pretty pleased with myself about this given the fact that I would normally take much longer breaks between reading a series, and this one I practically breezed through for some reason.

 

I must have really enjoyed reading about this weird ass future then!

 

But they're all here now, all three books, and all four movies, and nothing has ever felt as good as finishing something up like this.

 

Besides, it's taken us long enough, given everything, considering it would be three weeks to get it all done and all written up. Now that it's over and done with I can figure out my next book to read that maybe ISN'T all about gladiator-style games while I'm at it.

 

Before any of that, however, it's time to head back to Panem one last time.

 

Mockingjay has arrived, people, and she's ready to fly.

 

Talkie Tuesday: The Mockingjay, pt. 2

"She has become mythical."

Hello everyone!

So this past Saturday, IT HAPPENED.

You know what I'm talking about. 

THE MOCKINGJAY.

Part 2.

Can you tell I'm excited yet?

I will admit. The Hunger Games as a whole have never been one of my favourite dystopian stories (I prefer the Divergent series books), but the movies have certainly made it likeable despite everything, and like everyone who has been following them, I wanted to see if the ending would be just as everything was in the books, or what was promised.

Turns out, it was, and with the impact of it happening on-screen, it was even better.

Saturday Snippet: Movie Night

Hello everyone!

This post is a little late - and a little short, but I'm short on time - but I figured I should probably put something up, right? Right.

Last night was movie night! We went to see Mockingjay, pt. 2, and let me tell you guys.

IT WAS AWESOME.

Not to mention, FINALLY someone decided to actually follow the source material (aka the books), because too often nowadays I get to see movie adaptations that look like people haven't even sniffed at a book.

More on the movie this Tuesday!

Talkie Tuesday: The Mockingjay, pt. 1

Hello everyone!

I seem to always start the blog with the same two words - oops! Oh well, I guess I'll eventually figure out a better greeting or something. In the meantime, I'm going to jump right into the movie review for this week, and I think you're going to like the topic. Or I hope you will! 

This past weekend, I got some much-needed friend time in, as a couple of my girlfriends got together for a movie night. Honorary mention goes to: boyfriend of one of them, who had to put up with FOUR women all on his own through the movie, and then the subsequent conversation after it was over. Thumbs up and a whole lot of stars, considering it really can't have been easy, but we DID have a blast, all of us! The Mockingjay was picked because, back when the last part of the Hobbit was playing in cinemas, there was a consensus that it would be viewed in theatre, and then we'd get together for the Mockingjay later on, all of us, in the comfort of someone's home, where we could just relax, unwind, and comment to our hearts' content. That's precisely what we did, and if the movie itself lacked in substantial action, at least there were four others around you who felt the same way and you could complain out loud!
