The sequel to the 2012 film, The Hunger Games is coming. Hunger Games: Catching Fire is scheduled for release next month. At least one person can't wait. I found this "Hunger Games" poster in a container bin last night on my way to bed. Attached to the bottom right-hand corner of the poster is a facsimile of the mockingjay pin worn by the lead character Katniss Everdeen.



The movies are adaptations of the first two novels of a trilogy written by Suzanne Collins, aimed at teenage readers. I enjoyed the first movie -- the novels, not so much; I personally felt they were marginally better written than a Dan Brown novel -- that's like Da Vinci Code for "badly written." Fortunately for Ms. Collins, I'm in a minority. I will watch the movies though. I thought the screenwriters of The Hunger Games film actually improved on the novel. I liked the casting of the film, particularly Woody Harrelson as Kaleb, though, after reading the novel, I thought Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss Everdeen was just a tad too well fed.
