Finally, after a long long time it is 22nd November
23, 2013, but, really 23rd November now because it is 1 30am. The
premiere of Catching Fire was at 8 15pm yesterday, in my country. I was unable
to go to that.
Today, I went to the 10pm show. Did not know the movie would
last two and a half hours. As a result, I reached home at 1am. Getting to the
movie was the hard part.
There was a strike in the city today, there were supposed to
be riots and everything should have been closed, I was let go from school
fifteen minutes earlier for some reason. But then, I had tuitions so I waited till
2pm then went to tuition. My brother picked me from my tuition at four and we
went to a mall, got a cookies n cream milkshake. You have no idea how
phenomenal that is, my brother never does something like that for anyone. The
plan was that my brother would stay with me from four to five thirty when he
will drop me at my friend’s place because she would be getting home from her
class at five thirty and I had to go to watch the movie with her.
She told me around five that she didn’t go to her class; she
was not at home and would be there around seven. Now, this would not have been
an issue but my brother’s exams are starting from Monday and he needed to
study.
Surprisingly, he took me to this place I had never been to,
and frankly, I am already in love with that place. It is like a library except
better. You just do whatever you want, mostly people study (there are tables
and chairs) despite the music albeit soft in the background, you get free wifi,
you order sandwiches and drinks, or just read. My brother studied and I read. It
was fun. I had a warm brownie with vanilla ice cream, a kiwi crush and a chicken
pizza (it was really tiny)!
I reached my friend’s place and we left for the cinema at 9
30pm. We reached and got into the cinema right in the beginning, during the
opening part.
Coming up, Catching Fire Movie Review:
First of all, I love this director (Francis Lawrence?), I
don’t mean disrespect to the last one but the books weren’t all that great to
begin with and the first movie was just really bad.
It did not deviate from the book. Sam Claflin and Jena
Malone were absolutely amazing. Prim was really bad, I do not know the actress
but maybe it is because of her youth or her inexperience but she was very
monotonous. Katniss’s mother was shown all of three times and did not really
say anything except when treating Gale.
I suppose I did not like most of it was because it was
actually so much like the book and Katniss is so annoying that it gets to me.
She breaks down all the damn time when you’re just like doesn’t everybody say
you’re a strong female protagonist, yet you cry every time you are unable to
deal with a situation properly, how is that right? What can I say, I am not
part of The Hunger Games bandwagon and I am not ashamed to admit it.
I think I’ll go to sleep now.
Bye now.
Make wise decisions.
