I Am Always and Forever Team Katniss (Or: A Hunger Games Entry)

I saw The Hunger Games last weekend with two fangirls, a fangirl's wife, and my mother, which was a lovely group of women to spend the morning and lunch with. I've been slacking on making a post about the movie because I really only had three things to say. Now, however, I'm on a Hunger Games email thread that has brought up a fourth thing about the series that I want to talk about. This entry does include political discussion on race and gender lines, so if that isn't your thing, you can read to the first two points below and then leave this post.

( The movie as an adaptation. )

( The pairing I didn't expect to see. )

( Race. )

( Gender and Romance )
