Something about the second book stretches credibility I believe there would be crazy repercussions for Katniss and Peeta’s win in the first book, but there started to be something very dance-movie-ish about the proceedings. Of course, as soon as I finished it I went to pick up Catching Fire, and suddenly the pace of my reading, which had been something close to light-speed for all of Book 1, slowed to a grind, and I still haven’t read past Chapter 3. Yoshida: I was always really glad I read the first Hunger Games book long before casting even began on the film I still have a strong personally imagined version of the story in my head, which is rare for me with adapted works these days. Just as I did with both installments of the Deathly Hallows.) So because Mockingjay, the final Hunger Games book, is a distinct and self-contained story, I’m choosing to view the films as such. But just like Harry Potter, Twilight, and conclusive seasons of shows like The Sopranos and Breaking Bad, splitting a final installment into two parts just to prolong awareness and revenue does not change the fact that the intended and/or source narratives were conceived to stand alone as a single cohesive thread.
(Side note: I’m aware that there will be four films in The Hunger Games series. So maybe this installment will rise above being a mere pedestrian action movie. So as Catching Fire is the most engaging and most fully realized story of The Hunger Games book series, and as Gary “Hyperbolically Vanilla” Ross has relinquished the directorial reins to Francis “I’m Really More Than a Music Video Director, Come on, Believe Me” Lawrence, this sequel has the potential to be thrust into the age-old cine-geek argument “Is the sequel better than the original?”Īnd from what we see here, it appears that the stakes have been raised and the drama heightened. (There are far too many pathetic examples on the other side to list, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention The Matrix Reloaded. When executed properly, the results are Empire Strikes Back, The Godfather Part II, Aliens, Scream 2, and The Two Towers. “leave em’ wanting more”), which is sometimes trickier than it sounds. They also don’t need to lead a narrative to a definitive conclusion, but rather can end on an emotional and/or unresolved high note (a.k.a. They don’t need to establish a world, a tone, a visual, a style, or characters - they simply can start a story. Silver: Second films in trilogies (see side note) have a distinct advantage over their predecessors and followers. I honestly don't believe I even had to explain that.The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (November 22) After 3 seconds it will have attained a speed of 29.4 m/s and so on. After 2 seconds, it will have attained a speed of 19.6 m/s. 9.8 meters per second per second means that after 1 second a stationary object would have accelerated enough to be travelling at 9.8 m/s. This.vertical_position = this.vertical_position - this.vertical_speed ĮDIT: 9.8 Metres Per Second Per Second is correct! Please don't edit it! Acceleration is measured as change in velocity over time, expressed in metres per second per second. If (this.vertical_speed > TERMINAL_VELOCITY) This.vertical_speed = this.vertical_speed + GRAVITY The pseudo-code would look something like this: const GRAVITY = 10
You'll want to put a maximum limit on this (terminal velocity) otherwise when they fall a long way they could hit ludicrous speed fairly quickly. You could simulate this by giving the player a vertical speed (when they jump or fall off a platform) and then subtracting a constant amount from that value every time round the main game loop so that they accelerate over time. In the real world gravity will increase the rate of a fall by a constant amount over time (9.8 meters per second per second).
