Something Complex and Detailed discussion

I just watched Snowpiercer, so here's another, additional idea. (I like to multitask...)

Same!!

I just watched two dystopian movies, twas quite interesting.

And inspiring.

Ish.

Snowpierced (loooved this one!) and Goodbye World (quite a bit more meh).

I have always loved the dystopian genre, but recently it seems that every teen book is in that genre. But if the idea is really interesting, then I don't mind as much.

I like dystopian too. lol.

Ah yes. I had a really nice dystopian roleplay once... A few years back... and then it died and my heart was torn out.

Yeah, I agree that it would have to be an interesting idea with a very solid foundation.

Eh, I think it was worth watching them both, but I definitely enjoyed Snowpiercer more.

I've heard of it. One of mine is The Giver and another called Birthmarked.

Indeed. I have to read the rest in the series.

I do quite like the Giver. What is Birthmarked about?

It's about this teenage girl who is a midwife and each month she has a quota of babies she has to give to this city inside these walls. Everything seemed fine, despite the poorness she lives in outside the walls until her parents are arrested for some reason. It's really good. :D

Ohhh I read that book. It was good. The other books in the series were good as well I thought.

I haven't got to finish the series!

Sounds interesting!

It is! ^_^ I read the first book three times, I think, and I might read it another since I want to refresh my memory.

I have a feeling everyone will be even more gung-ho Nov 21st when Mockingjay comes out.

Eh, not me. I didn't like the books, though the movies are better in my opinion.

I haven't read the books and I think the movies are decent. I just really like Jennifer Lawrence.

The first book was definitely the best book. The rest went downhill and I personally didn't connect with the author or the characters. And I like Jennifer Lawrence too. :)

Ditto.

I never read the books but I really like the movies :) Jennifer Lawrence is pretty awesome too.

She's pure awesome sauce.

Wow, something went wrong with Goodreads there.

Nah. She's just really really really really really really really really really really really awesome.

But seriously, does anyone hate her? I don't think so.

Well, they're stupid.

There are a lot of stupid people in the world.

That fact is one we all have to face, unfortunately.

I love you guys.

I'm honestly not a huge fan of the dystopian craze that's going on right now. I never finished The Hunger Games trilogy (though I did enjoy the second one). The only other dystopian trilogy I've read was James Dashner's The Maze Runner series, which I actually really enjoyed. I watched Divergent but haven't read the books. Other than more zombie-esque things (The Last of Us, I Am Legend, The Walking Dead, etc.) I don't have much experience with the dystopian genre.

I feel the same. The craze is getting annoying and what's more, I feel a lot of them are female writers with a love triangle thrown in for drama.

When I think of dystopia, I think of Fallout, mainly, which is the RIGHT way to do dystopia.

YES D:

Watch Snowpiercer though! It was a refreshing take on the whole thing!

What is it rated?

Ji Mei ^_^ wrote: "What is it rated?"

I'm pretty sure it's rated R. I haven't seen it myself but I've heard a lot of good things.

R, yes.

It's pretty violent but I loved it, personally.
