You probably already know this, unless you've been living underneath a rock, or possibly a rock at the very bottom of the ocean, but the movie based on Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games comes out March 23rd. Apparently tickets are already nearing sold-out status in a lot of North American cities, to a point that might actually surpass the sales for the last Twilight movie. While I plan to see the movie and Corene does not (citing lingering trauma from the first book), we can agree on greeting this as positive news
