Gabbing Geek Box Office Review: Seriously, Is Watson Back Yet?

It’s that time of the week again, where we bore you with the Box Office Report.

Unless you’re one of those folks who enjoy these things.  If so, see after the cut.

Trailer Time: It’s Them Darn Hunger Games Again

Hey, you know what’s awesome about The Hunger Games?

If you said the allegorical elements tying the story into today’s fame-obsessed world, Jennifer Lawrence’s natural charisma, the ongoing struggle between the powerful and the powerless, the nature of rebellion, cool action scenes, or even just Peta thrashing on a bed, man, are you wrong according to the new teaser trailer.  The correct answer is “Prim”.  You know, Katniss’ sister?  Eh, trailer after the cut.

Trailer Time: Mockingjay Part Two: The Thrashening Of Peta

The Hunger Games is coming to an end soon.  Or, you know, the movie version.  I read the books, you know, all three of them.  There didn’t need to be four movies.  That last one was just set-up, really, ending with Peta thrashing on a bed.  Wasn’t that thrilling?  Peta thrashing?

I hope they do another TV commercial where they flash all the actors who’ve been at least nominated for an Oscar that are appearing in this movie like they did last time like it’s some sort of art house flick.  That’s some hilarious stuff right there.

Anyway, trailer after the cut.

SDCC: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2

On a day that features aliens and spaceships and endless zombies and a guy with a chainsaw for a hand…this might be the strangest teaser trailer of them all…

Trailer Time: Mockingjay Part 2: The Thrashening

Remember how disappointed you probably were by The Hunger Game:  Mockingjay Part One?  You know, how you sat there for the whole movie and, like, nothing really happened?  I mean, there was that scene where everybody sat in a bunker and Katniss did shoot down a jet, but then it landed on top of the hospital she was defending, so that wasn’t cool.  Say, did you know Jennifer Lawrence was wearing a wig for that movie since she did her hair a certain way for another movie?

Well, the action was (probably) all saved for the final movie that could have very easily been contained within the previous movie.  All your favorite Hunger Games characters are back.  And Peeta.  Probably still thrashing on that gurney…
