I was going to text him. I looked on the world clock and it is almost midnight in Hamburg.<br /><br />Looking forward to our vacation in Alabama! See you soon!sam c.hart jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13959755426942553361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060068778048416949.post-11811156599235921852012-03-23T08:16:27.858-07:002012-03-23T08:16:27.858-07:00Good question - I was worried too.

I did look away for parts of it (especially right when the the games begin and half the field is killed), but not as often as I expected that I'd need to. They actually do a really good job of cutting away from the actual gore or using chaotic shots or closeups of faces so that you can't really see everything.<br /><br />Not that this applies to us, but I would caution against taking younger teens unless they really understand the themes of the book, because without the context, watching kids kill each other was very different than reading about kids killing each other.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12101751959846422832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9060068778048416949.post-77617813412349455392012-03-23T07:56:39.678-07:002012-03-23T07:56:39.678-07:00Glad to hear it was great!

I'm really excited to see it, but I'm a bit sqeamish about how potentially violent it could be.<br /><br />I'm sure you're happy that Curtis is returning :)Adelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16256451142660464796noreply@blogger.com
