Help me out guys, I think the title was something like "The theory of everything." or not??

Hennible,  where do your  avatars come from ?  Are you an artist?

Yes
Thats my youngest. I used the computer to make the photo look like that.

And the Steven Hawking movie is the theory of everything
Can't wait to see it.

Today I saw "Mockingjay" the 3rd.movie in the Hunger Games series. Despite having less action and I believe a shorter running time, I felt the movie delivered!! I was entertained and surprised by a couple of unexpected twists. I give it 3 stars. Gayle (Liam Hemsworth) has an extended part. For the life of me, I cannot understand how Katniss could be in love with Petta through 3 movies, when Gale has been available from the start. No accounting for taste I guess.

Julienne Moore has joined the group & makes a fine addition as president Coin. Donald Sutherland has little to do apart from making menacing announcements . It was nice seeing Phillip Seymour Hoffman again - despite an abbreviated role brought about by his unexpected death during the filming. This is a different movie that exposes more of what the district inhabitants have endured under President Snow's iron hand leadership. There are battles to be sure just not the spectacle of young tributes forced to kill each other, as mass entertainment. I rate this as 3 stars, only because I felt it ended too soon and wanted more.

gotta hold out for part 2.

I like that you were surprised, that means they followed the book closer this time. I CAN"T WAIT!

Part two is scheduled for the same time next year. I wish movie makers would take into account that people of a certain age, can't wait forever.

Last year I did pick up the Mockingjay book just to read the last couple of pages. However,

my lips are sealed.

I want to go see Mockingjay Part 1 but I know if I do I won't be able to sleep until I see part 2 next year. LOL.

I think you'll be okay, it was a year between the 1st. movie, I believe and Catching Fire. We survived. I really enjoyed part 3.
