Surge in underwear and mop sales today with reviews for “The Hunger Games” – that being the Gary Ross directed film adaptation of the Suzanne Collins hardcover, not the Jamie Oliver VHS set you bought your ma for Christmas that year – starting to trickle onto the social networks and websites.
The flick, tracking bigger than “The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn” (and apparently, “Breaking Wind Part 1” too – – hells bells, please don’t make me watch another ten minutes of that boss, please!?), was screened for interviewing critics over the past week. The word? Better than Breakfast.
Firstly, MTV were at tonight’s Premiere for the film. Check out some vox-pops (Are they the icy-poles I use to eat as a kid? Whatever…) from the Hunger Carpet.
