the hunger games movie was totally worth staying up until 2:48am for and then waking up at 6:30am to go to work. i am saying that now. how will i feel at about 1:30pm, when the post-lunch sluggishness hits? probably pretty bad, but i can always take a nap when i get home. AND I INTEND TO.
i won't ruin the movie for the 99.9% of the world that did not go to the midnight showing - though it felt like 99.9% of the world was actually at the theater with me watching the movie. especially the 16 year old girls of the world. though, in front of us sat two good-looking, straight-looking, 21-ish guys who apparently also enjoyed the books enough to come to the midnight showing. this entertained us.
the hardest part was getting to the midnight showing. i may have dozed through some episodes of 30 rock beforehand, but was ready to go once we got there. all in all, i think the movie was great. was it a perfect adaptation of the book? no. but if you expect that you will always be disappointed. good acting, beautiful shots of the north carolina mountains - those were the highlights. and peeta was hot.
i also may have literally jumped into willis's lap during the scariest part. like, half my body got there unconsciously. we know i'm not good with scary.
