Re: Hunger Games
I probably should have stuck around to the end of the credits, to see exactly where it was filmed, but the theater was way too crowded for my taste, so I got out ASAP to avoid getting caught in a crush of bodies.
I went ahead and ordered the books from Amazon. Sounds like the first one at least will be a good read.
As an aside, if I recall correctly, in the video near the beginning of the movie, it was said that 13 districts had rebelled against the central government. But it was pretty clear that there were only 12 districts by the time of the movie. So I'm guessing that one district was depopulated and/or nuked during the course of the war, perhaps as a warning to the others? I suppose I'll find out when the books arrive.
