When the Hunger Games trilogy first came out I was very reluctant to read the books. I didn't like the concept of fighting to the death for food. It is such an uncomfortable concept. But once I read the first book, I was hooked. I really liked it. I found the second book to be just as enjoyable, but the third one I could do without.
That said, I went to the movie last night. So good. So true to the book. Best casting since Harry Potter. So good. I read the book about two years ago, so there were parts of the story that I didn't remember, but because the movie was so true to the book, it was a great reminder. I think this might be my new Titanic... I don't think I can afford fourteen trips to the theatre. Once was enough. I will definitely be getting this on DVD though....
I also loved that I got to have a night out with the girls. It has been a long time since a girls' night out, (out of my house that is...) and this time we didn't get tattoos. (Despite my request) ;).
There was yummy supper, a couple of drinks, and tons of laughs. I haven't forgotten how a night with just the girls makes me feel.... I did just have a night out a couple of weeks ago (a bunch came over and we watched movies, and drank wine), and a girls' day out at Tara's the next day.... It just felt good to be in a different town, with restaurant options, and movie tickets in hand....
The only thing that would have made this day better was going to the showing of Titanic first, and followed that with Hunger Games... ;)

Sounds like fun - next girls night we will go to the city to watch a movie but I will pre purchase the tickets ... last time you did that and I was involved you weren't paid back by everyone! And as we learned real friends pay you back ;)
