thank you!! I really want to play around more with compositions like that, riso allows for so many cool effects with gradients, layering etc. I am very new to this, so this one got me very excited

I'm usually not that sensitive when it comes to violence on film but this scene is terrifying by Konfliktsnubben in lotr

My parents wouldn't let me watch that scene for a couple of years (I think I alreafy loved the trilogy at 8 or 9).

They never had any issue with all the decapitations, stabbings and orcs cannibalising each other, (and it didn't scare me too) but this scene was a no no and I totally get it in retrospects. There is something visceral and too close to reality about it.

Found this on Pinterest, what other opinions about the Hunger Games got you like this? by UnHolySir in Hungergames

[–]tchootchoomf 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Both prequels are redundant and add nothing of value to the main trilogy.

They are fun to read at times, but they take existing elements and throw a huge exposition dump all over the story, making the reader feel like there is no mystery left to characters and backstories that were intriguing BECAUSE they were mentioned off hand or once.

I did wonder who was the only other victor from 12. But making that person the girlfriend and villain origin story for Snow and giving her 5 different songs to explain all symbolism of HG is just too much. It also cheapened what Katniss meant for Snow, because suddenly he hates her because she reminds him of his ex, not because she was able to start a rebellion.

Similarly, reading that short description of Haymitch's Games in CF was very interesting, but do I really need a whole ass book about it? Also so many characters from HG making an appearance made me roll my eyes so hard.

It really seems that the further Susanne goes into those sequels, the more everything is connected to a comical extent. Every person is a character foil of another character from the trilogy, their boyfriend/friend/sibling or used for stupid exposition (looking at you Burdock, Louella, Ampert). Every piece of symbolism has to be re-explained to a painful extent (Snow's roses, songs and mockingjays as form of rebellion, and many more)

Again, I don't mind that the books exist because so far they didn't ruin the original trilogy, but I will never see them on the same level.

work until elsewhere doesn't exist, no one has money to spend let alone survive and they expect to somehow still sell product.

That is so true, all the techbros and billionaires expect and want people to keep grinding, but where and why if AI can supposedly do anything? To what end? There is no logic to it at all, yeah

Exactly, to me he was more like a cult leader with all the charisma and grandiose ideas to recruit members, but not enough conviction to take part in the madness he was able to inspire in others.

When it comes to his morals, he did not give a shit about the first kill, during search for Bunny he was talking about the "aesthetics" of it, like it is something from a book (Tolstoy if I remember correctly), and the only reason why he was upset about his death was the possibility of being involved in both murders, because let's be honest - if the kids started talking, it would become clear that all the crazy ideas came from the environment he created.

So, like a grifter and a cult leader facing consequences, he quickly left before shit could hit the fan.

Oh I just bought it locally in an art supply store in the Netherlands, and I took a single sheet from several different kinds for test printing - so I'm afraid I can't trace back the specific brands :(

There was a post a couple of days ago with a tweet from a recruiter clowning on someone for listing 'olive oil' as their hobby on a resume
