I'd agree - I've seen far more compelling dystopian story telling than this. The book was a fun, fast read - the movie decided to throw away that energy. Maybe it should've been a Damon Lindoff/Bad Robot production: those guys get pacing.

The world is all there, the acting (at least Jennifer Lawrence, and Elisabeth Banks as Effie) did a convincing job along the story lines. The boys however seemed weak and flat in comparison - even Haymitch by Woody Harrelson didn't come across as a true drunk. If anything, Woody was the most sober I've seen him on…

I liked this foward-control-esque Treo concept from back in the day. I sat in it, and the visibility was kind of outrageous! Looks pretty different too...

Things I love about the BRZ:

Probably not a damn thing. I ran the numbers on a Prius, and the $1200 a year or so I'd save against what I currently drive (both economical in their own right but lightyears more entertaining) is just not worth it.

Oh the misdirection.

That car is just sex. I know Ferrari won't do retro but WTF! They should make at least a handful of these throwback-inspired awesome cars. I just want to look at a Ferrari anyway, I'd be happier driving (and parking) some Porsche.

Lol burn. Touche.

Worst QOTD all year.

Eau de douche for realz. Frosted tips, sculpted face hair, too much tan, showing off excessive muscles in man-tanks when a real shirt would be more appropriate and...

Honda Pilot:

Period Recaros? Awesome. Bolted into a cheesy 81 Firebird? Not so much. I'd pay 22k for those seats in an '81 911 SC however. Even in that silly color scheme.

Di = direct injection, aka the Mini 1.6l turbo 4. 211hp in works trim, 181 in regular. A radical little engine that can! Perfect for a Neo 240 if you remember how lost its original 2.3l looked in that vast, boxy bay.

This is the holy grail in durable consumer tech - the rugged tablet that works.

Best idea I've heard on the automotive internets all year!

Not bad, not bad at all. I'd be more interested in a 6-speed conversion of a fresh Crown Vic Interceptor (or maybe a Marauder), but this price is almost perfect for what's on offer.

I'm sure the feds have seen it all at this point.

Why do Ferraris seem to burn so easily? I usually ignore these stories but with a death involved I begin to wonder: what the heck are the engineers doing wrong here? Cars crash frequently but don't explode like a prop for a Michael Bay film.

Love this list!!!

Well it's just Kanye's other OTHER Benz-powered vehicle, I'm sure he doesn't mind.
