>In March 2012, Roy Lee reported that a remake of Battle Royale would no longer be possible due to the release of The Hunger Games, stating that “Audiences would see it as just a copy of ‘Games’ — most of them wouldn’t know that ‘Battle Royale’ came first. It’s unfair, but that’s reality.”

Lord of the rings is just so goddamn wordy. He spends a good 5 pages to describe any one set of scenery. Sure, it's rich, but it's that kind of rich that makes me want to throw up. The hobbit was well-written, the rest not so much.

I do like the wheel of time and game of thrones though. They're wordy, but not excessively so like LOTR. The authors are at least building to something eventually when they slow down the story.

THEN THEY WENT TO THE FIELDS OF ESZELOR WHERE IN THE SECOND GREAT AGE THE KING OF MEN FORMED A TREATY WITH THE ELVES WHICH SAID THAT THE ELSWYTH PLAINS WERE THE PROPERTY OF THE MISMYR GOBLINS shut the fuck up and go back to walking.

That's how it is in the book thou. It makes sense though, because in the sequel it turns out that that world was a just a computer simulation, but the virus escaped to the real world, and was an actual virus that gave you cancer. The protagonist of that book was produced in a lab from the DNA of the simulated people, where he magically was used to cure the Human Cancer Virus, then was killed in some quantum magic scanning machine so they could insert him back into the Matri-, er, simulated world.

You're missing out on a lot of great prose-driven fiction like that.

Sci-fi worlds, with the exception of Dune and some other exceptional examples are pretty mediocre as a whole. However they destroy in other areas like food-for-thought potential so I'm not saying they're bad, just that world-building isn't a strength of the genre.

That's the thing, I love world building. I used to buy D&D source books just so I could read about the Forgotten Realms or Planescape. In a way, that's how I would have liked The Lord of the Rings to have been structured--one plot following a party on their quest to destroy a magic ring, and another book (or appendices) that tell you about the world. Weaving history and geography into the main story felt like exposition without a pay-off.

Maybe I'll read The History of Middle-earth some day. That sounds like just the kind of thing I would enjoy.

You obviously missed the 3 main themes of the movie. I went to Japanese Movie night at my university and a lot of Japanese said it had no meaning or message. Just a bunch of violence and drama.

I'm a firm believer that you should be able to die however and whenever you want. This would be an exciting and maybe a little fun way to die, though I'd be scared about the pain (especially if you got shot or stabbed in the wrong places).

I don't see why right-to-die groups focus on the sick and elderly. The right to die should apply to everyone. It's their life and their body.

"Wake up, everybody!" The clamor of a hammer hitting an empty metal pot rang through the air. The noise roused the sleeping class, and they groggily began to rise. Blinking the sleep from their eyes, they found themselves no longer riding on a bus, but instead laying all about the floor of an unfamiliar classroom. It appeared old and rundown, with garbage strewn everywhere, chairs and desks tossed in a heap against one wall, and the windows boarded over.

They looked around, startled by their surroundings. Instinctively, the students began gathering in small groups. It soon became evident that not only was everyone present, but they had picked up an extra member: Kaorin, who was dressed in her school uniform as well. They also noticed that everyone was wearing identical gunmetal gray collars around their necks, locked in place by a complex electronic mechanism. People began to nervously finger the unfamiliar adornments.

"Attention, Class!"

All eyes turned to the front of the classroom. Yukari stood there, beaming at them. Rather than the blouse, skirt, and gas mask she wore on the bus, she now wore combat fatigues and metal helmet. There was even an automatic in the holster on her hip. The teacher was surrounded by a dozen men also garbed in fatigues. All of them had rough faces and wielded automatic rifles as though they were as much a part of them as their limbs and would use them without a second thought.

Tomo said, "Wow, Yukari-sensei, you sure can cut one." "That was sleep gas, you little ingrate!" Yukari snapped.

"What are we doing here?" Yomi asked, mirroring the confusion everyone but Tomo and Osaka (who took everything in stride, as usual) were demonstrating.

"Good question," Yukari answered. "I am proud to announce that you have been selected for this year's Battle Royale." Everyone in the room stared at Yukari in wide-eyed silence.
