In my opinion, yes.

That gives me the right to make fun of your opinion that any person/entity/group that fails to recognize the totallyamazingawesomeness [squee] of The Hunger Games is irrelevant and I guess stupid.


Aren't opinions fun.

And they didn't reject "that drivel" because they gave the screenplay an award.
A screenplay... the inherent drivel-ness of anything that can touch the film industry with its ten-foot pole, goes without saying.

Cutting down a story to its skeleton to stick it on a screen pretty much kills anything, as far as I am concerned. Certain things were not meant to be Moving Pictures, like the whole of the written word for a start.

Again, this is all my opinion, feel free to take that with a grain of salt -- or utter derision, I don't care.

I maintain -- aren't opinions fun.
