Every year, to remind people of how powerful they are, the government holds a lottery to select two kids (or tributes) per district to participate in a gladiatorfest that not only is televised, but looks pretty much like any other reality TV competition show out there. At times, I thought Ru Paul&#8217;s Drag Race. Anyways, out of 24 children, only one will be deemed the victor.</p> <p>People keep trying to explain the vast success of the books saying it&#8217;s an parable to high school and that kids connect because they feel victimized and victorious, like Suzanne Collins has a magical teen wand or something. That didn&#8217;t sound right. I didn&#8217;t read the books, but I like the commentary on how obsessed society is with looks and celebrities and neglects other major issues we have to solve, rather than waste our lives watching TV. That been said, I&#8217;m not a fan and the movie didn&#8217;t help.</p> <p>The Hunger Games, the movie, which is breaking all kinds of box office records and should catapult the careers of Jennifer Lawrence and the director Gary Ross, is not really satisfactory. Like I said, I didn&#8217;t read the book, so my first impression is that everything is a little too campy. I know the books are more gory and horror like, but in the movie you barely see any blood, let alone anyone dying. Which is understandable from a commercial point: Gary Ross had the task of transforming the gory source material into something suitable for the young demographic of the books, thus, no blood, and lots of gimmicks.</p> <p>That&#8217;s the main problem of the movie, it&#8217;s too gimmicky. There&#8217;s just so many shots with a handheld camera and blurry close ups that you can hardly tell what the hell is going on, but you are sure to get a lot of motion sickness, which, if you are into it, it just adds up to its awesome factor.<br/> Kudos to Jennifer Lawrence who owns Katniss Everdeen and gives her that blue stillness in her eyes, that at the same time shows her grief and her hardcoreness. She&#8217;s by far, the best part of the movie, since everything else seems to be compacted and watered down, at least she was given enough room to shine.</p> <p>Gary Ross makes a lot of effort into transforming whatever the Hunger Games are into the Not So Hungry Games, but, as I said, he made enough cuts to make sure all the family can root for the killing of 20 or so kids and you leave the theater feeling like everything is going to be OK. Which, from what I hear, is not the same feeling you are left when you close the book cover. Go figure.</p> <p class="tumblrize-permalink"><a href="http://www.hipsterdate.net/2012/05/10/the-hunger-games-movie-review/" title="Go to original post at How Hipsters Date" rel="bookmark" target="_blank">Original Article</a></p>http://hipsterdate.tumblr.com/post/22764348949http://hipsterdate.tumblr.com/post/22764348949Thu, 10 May 2012 00:21:13 -0400hipstertumblrize<p><iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Nsm53ruoG1I" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/> Excerpt from the website:</p> <blockquote><p>In the car, he tells us that he doesn’t know if the songs he are going to play are going to sound good, cause he hadn’t sang at all yet that morning, and he had never played them solo … then he blew us away with three chords and his subtle and broken voice.

But imagine if we could time travel to the 60&#8217;s and cast the actors that were in activity when The Avengers, the comic book, was first released. Sure, Black Widow wouldn&#8217;t be in it, since she&#8217;s not a founding member, but I wanted to play with the idea of taking actors from then and casting in the framework of Joss Whedon&#8217;s movie. In the movie we have Iron Man played by Robert Downey Jr., Captain America played by Chris Evans, Thor play by Chris Hemsworth, The Hulk played by Mark Ruffalo, Black Widow played by Scarlett Johansson, Hawkeye played by Jeremy Renner, Nick Fury played by Samuel L. Jackson and Loki played by Tom Hiddleston. This would be the main cast, wouldn&#8217;t you agree?</p> <p>So this is the result of this game of switch and match.<br/><a href="http://www.hipsterdate.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/steve-mcqueen.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1529" height="242" src="http://www.hipsterdate.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/steve-mcqueen-300x242.jpg" title="steve mcqueen" width="300"/></a> </p> <p>Iron Man played by Steve McQueen</p> <p class="tumblrize-permalink"><a href="http://www.hipsterdate.net/2012/05/01/what-if-the-avengers-was-cast-in-the-60s/" rel="bookmark" title="Go to original post at How Hipsters Date" target="_blank">Read the Original Article Here</a></p>http://hipsterdate.tumblr.com/post/22206745278http://hipsterdate.tumblr.com/post/22206745278Tue, 01 May 2012 15:28:00 -0400hipstermoviesthe avengers<p><iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GafB7NQvQWg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/> Lower Dens will be playing the Mercury Lounge tonight and the Glasslands Gallery in Brooklyn tomorrow night.
