I actually do have that new fandom excitement feeling, yay!
A few weeks ago Dragonfly and Bunny wanted to rewatch The Hunger Games, which they'd seen at that cinema and loved. I wasn't really interested, my free time was so limited (assignments due and not well and surviving on probably too much Mersyndol) and so i was on the internet and not paying that much attention and it didn't really make much of an impression on me.
I figured I may as well listen to them while driving. And discovered, unsurprisingly, that there's so much more to the story - darker and more complex. I was intrigued enough to keep listening at home on the weekend while I was keeping Bunny company while she was cleaning her room. Sunday arvo I was too knackered to study, went to have a nap but couldn't sleep, so ended up just having a lie down while keeping on listening (Bunny's idea, she came and joined me)
We're about half way through the next one now, Catching Fire, and I made everyone watch the movie last night. Like the first one, it's a really good adaptation, but can't hope to capture the detail that really gives the story its depth.
Also, I really think Katniss should get to keep both Peeta and Gale. I've seen there's a few threesome fics on AO3 and am itching to read them but i am being strong and waiting til I've read the third book. I am horribly afraid that it's inevitable that one of the guys is going to die.
