Hunger Games
I am reading the Hunger games trilogy by Jackie Collins. The story is set in a post modern USA after the big revolution left it as a dictatorship. For somereason I can't put it down.

Loved the Hunger Games Trilogy
I was looking for books to load up my Kindle for a 2-week vacation and a friend recommended the Hunger Games trilogy. She said they have a bizarre premise, but once you get past that the trilogy is a really good read. So true! I whipped right through all three books while cruising across the Atlantic last fall.

I love these books. The first one is the best. The movie premieres in March. Can not wait. PS: You will have to see the movie outside of TV because TV does not show Liongate films.

I have read the first book and have the second one but have not gotten around to reading it yet. Enjoyed the first one though. Cannot wait to see the woman acting in the Katniss Everdeen role. These books are by Suzanne Collins. |

I haven't read her stuff, but it is an interesting premise.

Wonder if they will make an exception for Dirty Dancing ? That looks like a remake that could do extremely well here in TV. |

Hard to believe Suzanne Collins writes for "young readers" (tweens and young teens). I read the first book (bought the other two on my Nook, but haven't read them yet) and LOVED it! Guess that just goes to show, a good read is a good read and your average Villager is younger (at heart/mentally) than our counterparts "outside the bubble"!! LOL!

Great books. Loved those and also the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy.

Hope this doesn't sound like a dumb question -- I'm just a TV wannabee -- but why don't the theaters in TV show Lionsgate films? I'm guessing I know the answer, but would like to hear it from a TV veteran.

I do not know why they do not show Lionsgate films. We wanted to see One For The Money and inquired at the Old Millhouse why wasn't it playing in TV. They stated because they do not show Lionsgate films.

For instance, I had a theater of 300 seats at the Old Mill Playhouse all to myself with the 2005 Jennifer Carpenter movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose. Watching this movie all alone was very creepy! |

I decided to contact 'TheatreInfo' and see if I would get a response about Lionsgate films and the possible showing of Hunger Games. I emailed them on 2/27 and they finally got back with me. Here is what they said:
"Thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately, we do not have a Contract with LIONSGATE Films. Our attorneys and theirs just seem to not be able to work out a glitch. Until such time as they can, we will not be showing any Lionsgate Films, which this title is one. Sorry for any inconvenience. TheatreInfo" Looks like we will have to travel to Ocala to see when it comes out later this month. |

It is strange that so many other theatres can get a contract with Lionsgate and work out "a glitch".
Any idea what the "glitch" is? JJ Quote:

Ah, let me guess; money/greed?
