The Hunger Games

Unless you don't pay any attention to pop culture, you probably know that the movie The Hunger Games comes out on Friday (Thursday night at midnight). I finally got around to reading the book recently (which was awesome) and am so excited for the movie. I've watched the trailers (all of them) just about everyday, a lot of the interview clips, the red carpet interviews, everything. We would usually go for a Sunday matinee on opening weekend (as I'm a big opening weekend person) but we can't go this weekend! That means we have to either wait until the next weekend or buy a ticket for the midnight showing. As much as I would love to see it in the midnight showing, we're going to wait for a bunch of reasons, including:

- We would have to wait in line for hours in preparation for the midnight showing. We used to do that for Harry Potter but I feel old now.

- The movie is long (2.5 hours) so it probably won't be over until close to 3 am. We unfortunately have to go to work on Friday. Not that we're not up at 3 am (it's 2:45 now, after all), but we'll be wired from the movie and most likely won't sleep for at least another hour. And we're old now.

- The midnight showing will probably be packed with screaming teenage fangirls. Did you see Liam Hemsworth's interview on GMA? I'm not sure I can take that, especially if it goes through the whole show.

So I guess we'll wait. But I am so excited for the movie!!
