It seems that the author is referring to the future, and as strange as the world is becoming, I don't think that humans will revert to being savages who kill each other for fun, Rome had enough.

They don't kill for fun.

Several years before the events of the book take place, an unknown apocalyptic event took place in North America, and it is now known as Panem. This new country was split up into districts ruled by one Congress. As punishment for a previous rebellion against the Capitol in which a 13th district was destroyed, one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 from each district are selected by annual lottery to participate in the Hunger Games, an event in which the participants (or "tributes") must fight in an outdoor arena controlled by the Capitol, until only one remains.

RE: Movie Discussion Thread II

I can't be that enthousiastic about Mirror Mirror, but I really want to see Snow White and The Huntsman. Just looks so much better. Guess we have to wait a bit longer...
 
RE: Movie Discussion Thread II

I can't wait to see Hunger Games. Also, Mirror Mirror looks mildly entertaining, and Wrath of the Titans looks EPIC!

Also omahanime, nice reference to Runner Man. One of Schwarzeneggar's (hope I got that right) lesser known films. Shows that he's not a ruthless killing machine, but still violent overall
