Adding to what kieran was saying, i think that comments should be tagged as "spoilers" if they reveal too much about the book/novel that the person was commenting on? I've seen some movie comments that tell too much for someone who hasnt seen the movie...

The movies seem like they will be better than the books. The books are great and the story is fantastic, but they are written for 13-year-olds... kind of like Twilight. I hope The Hunger Games doesn't go the same path...

I'm actually looking forward to seeing how they're going to prepare the movie. When I read the books, I could see them being recreated very well as an anime. It could be very dark and/or quite humorous at certain parts.
