Request Hunger Games/Catching Fire Hovership

[Capt_hensley]

Just watched Hunger Games, Catching Fire and enjoyed the hovership scenes. Perhaps someone would create this interesting design. Hovership

You enjoyed the hoverships? I thought the appeal of the Hunger Games flicks was seeing cute little Jennifer Lawrence stomping around the woods with bows and arrows, killing the living daylights out of everyone she meets and feasting on their steaming entrails.

Ok, I made the entrails thing up.

So did I, but then I realised that there is a lot less of that stuff than could be reasonably expected (well, there's a lot of stomping around the woods, granted, but really not much of anything else...).

I only watched to see Jennifer Lawrence in a tight bodysuit. But then, I'm a dude.
Stomping around in the woods was all secondary.

A girl I worked with was an extra as a member of the public in the "Capitol". She sent pretty regular FB selfies from the movie set.

I'd build her a terrarium to stomp around in, dude.

Can one do that? I thought they would execute people for much less now...

Yes I admit, seeing JLAW all bound up was interesting to say the least, but, this is orbiter. If some one would like to model JLAW as an EVA, as well as make the hover ship, that could be a double wammy!!!

CNN Breaking News: Flight Simulator called Orbiter blamed for declining fertility rates.

I don't get the connection with fertility rates...

Were probably getting off topic with the Jlaw fantasies but here is my rant:

They make movies and books like this to entice "powerless" teen girls into buying this garbage...and they often fail to include any hardcore violence and turmoil associated with a dystopian society...so for 2 hours they can feel like they are "in control" of their world without throwing up from the sight of blood and entrails...Then there are the boys who watch the movie just to see Ms Lawrence because parental controls block google image search...Then there is dan(me) who (reluctantly)watches the movie(i work part time at a theatre) conflicted over whether its morally right to hit on the girls in the seat next to me.

I kinda thought the books were lackluster in general, though the ending of everything was something unexpected from a book targeted at teens.

Then again, reading the whole thing reeked of "I'm trying to push my philosophy through foofy stories" a la Rand, Goodkind. Wasn't a terrible read, but it didn't really capture me as other books I enjoy.

I think the books are too good for Hollywood, because they are pretty disturbing and conspiring, nothing for people with underlying paranoia. But more accessible than many better examples.

And comparing them to Ayn Rand is pretty insulting IMHO - have you ever read this Atlas nonsense?

I have, and it's straight garbage. I'd rank these books maybe a notch or two higher.

It probably is, but then you would get an arrow in the knee...:lol:
