One of my kids laughed when I asked what the "Hunger Games" are.
Am I hopelessly out of touch? (Who isn't, really?)
But then she told me the story of this story.
Can you say "Logan's Run"?
Did I give too much away?
Probably not.
Anyone who is going to see this movie already knows the story. It's a true food fight. Meets reality TV.
The film "has sold more advance tickets than any other non-sequel, says Fandango," according to John Young at insidemovies.ew.com.
Good for Lions Gate.
But I am curious about the popularity of a story in which people must fight to the death for food.
People across the world already are starving every day. Their stories are rarely really told.
