Yeah, Battle Royale is much the same sort of concept, but not significantly darker than Hunger Games.

But if you recall, she's super hot going in due to her prep team, and coming out she should be feral; but there is a fair amount of the book devoted to how gorgeous Cinna makes her look, and how important that is to keeping her alive.

It's definitely like BR, but has it's own, worthwhile take on the subject matter. Plus the battlefield is vastly more interesting; it's also informed much more by our current love for reality television.

The games start you out all pretty and buffed up, and by the end you're a blood crazed, starving wreck.

Unfortunately it was used in the wrong context, bogan is a noun, not an adjective

Just managed to fit in desquamation in discussion about the levels of dust in the office. Was duly pleased.

Really? You went through this whole thing and no mention of Scott Sigler's "Infected" audiobooks/novels. Morgellons is the early attempts of an alien parasite to take control of humans. It's all fine if you get the fibers - it's when you get the triangles that you should worry...

He's indestructible, invisible, can throw lightning and squeeze through the smallest space - unfortunately a stiff wind will also blow him away . He is DIAMOND AEROMAN.

I was not disagreeing with AN, just with anyone silly enough to say that Star Wars is scifi. I think EE doc Smith's books (green lanterns? :P ) were close enough on the mystical energy front to be comparable to the forvce.

Anyone who knows their Star Wars know it's space opera, not Sci-fi. And space opera is a fantastical setting with the trappings of sci-fi.

You know, I don't think that Lucas has ever touched a Star Trek film...

Charles and Magneto seemed to know him, and none of the other team members are currently in the film - heck, after the Wolverine film why didn't Cyclops recognise him?

Well, he's already around 80 years old at that point, so he wouldn't seem any younger. You could even bring Hugh Jackman in.

Because Mystique was criminally underused in the original X-Men movies...

Very shiny.

In Australia the vehicle force came out years before the Lion force, and so the lions always seemed like a bizarre spin-off.

Is that like a TIME-HEAD?

Don't be silly. Voltron is made up of lots of vehicles, not silly cat robots...

BANG!
