What about the fact it plagiarizes a better book and movie? Tom Send a noteboard - 10/03/2012 04:38:15 PM
I don't buy the "I came up with the same idea independently" any more than when Goodkind says it about his shitty series plagiarizing an equally shitty Wheel of Time.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

I actually really liked the third book Darth_Katie - 04/03/2012 07:05:28 PM 1529 Views
I took it as both a lot more than reality TV satire, and not really that at all. Cannoli - 04/03/2012 10:56:22 PM 1413 Views
Oh Yes, the Hunger Games are *just* like Health Care Reform. Vivien - 06/03/2012 05:47:18 PM 1245 Views
Yes, a ruling class makes life & death decisions for you, and popularity influences them heavily Cannoli - 07/03/2012 10:25:40 PM 1450 Views
I heard they were awful... ? - 05/03/2012 01:11:07 AM 1178 Views

That's not true ironclad - 07/03/2012 12:41:06 PM 1402 Views
It's anything like twilight only in the sense that it has a lot of fans. Vivien - 07/03/2012 03:36:43 PM 1227 Views

Which plagiarized Dune and so on and so forth. [Battle Royale plagiarized the Lotterry, etc, etc] Vivien - 12/03/2012 06:29:35 PM 1208 Views
You can't improve on perfection Tom - 12/03/2012 06:36:38 PM 1184 Views
Hmm. rebelaessedai - 30/03/2012 05:12:24 AM 1291 Views
They're worth reading. (Everyone, do just try reading the first book) Ideally, before movie. Vivien - 06/03/2012 05:44:58 PM 1201 Views
AND you can read the first one easily in 2 days Sir Tybalt - 14/03/2012 08:55:57 AM 1057 Views

First person present tense sounds horrible for me ironclad - 07/03/2012 12:42:12 PM 1351 Views
Even before reading on wikipedia, I thought, "this is a rip-off of Battle Royale." Tom - 10/03/2012 01:33:55 AM 1140 Views
Definitely can vouch for the movie. *NM* Panorphaeon - 10/03/2012 07:55:32 PM 583 Views
