    It looks so good. Catching Fire was a decent book even if it was basically a rehash of the first, and it looks like they're doing their part to differentiate the two movies.

    The Hunger Games and Catching Fire spoilers below!

    Wait... People think Catching Fire was a rehash? I guess it's sort of like that if you look at how the story is divided, but still :S I think they're doing what they did with the first movie and holding off showing the real meat of the film (The actual Hunger Games) until the movie's actually out. The first trailer just serves to set up the basic premise: Katniss' and Peeta's survival has started to make people finally rebel against the Capitol again.

    Mork likes to call everything remotely similar a rehash, don't mind him. :P

    But seriously, it looks good! My enjoyment of the series definitely dropped off pretty significantly as it went on, but the first "half" (probably not literally--I forget the exact ratio of the book, but basically before the games) was a really good read. Since I really disliked the third book, this will probably be the last movie I'll be excited about so I'm gonna let myself get as excited as possible.

    When's it come out... November? I wonder if rereading the book sooner and letting myself forget parts of it again so I'm not bored during the movie would be better, or if I should pick it up again really close to the release so it's fresh in my mind. What's everyone else gonna do?

    I plan on re-reading the series starting with The Hunger Games in a few days.
