Why Spoilers Suck (*INSIDE OUT SPOILERS* *HUNGER GAMES TRILOGY SPOILERS* *HARRY POTTER SPOILERS* BREAKING BAD SPOILERS** LORD OF THE RINGS SPOILERS* )

Alrighty... so here is a little sort of half rant... but mostly just factual 100% accurate information on why spoilers really really suck. I don't like seeing movies on opening night. Especially big movies like Star Wars. That doesn't mean I'm not into the hype... I'm just not into seeing movies at midnight in a tiny theater where people probably fart a lot. My movie theater doesn't have many seats, so the only option to really get a seat is to use fandango... which I don't mind... but still. Its just another thing. And I know there are a lot of people like me out there. Maybe you liked the movies when you were a kid, maybe you haven't seen them since you were a kid and maybe you want to re-watch them before a new one comes out. Maybe you never saw the movies but want to know what the fuss is about... maybe you have other things to do and just can't get to the movies right away... thats fine... So don't spoil it! I feel like this is becoming...

Scribbles About Books: The Scorch Trials by James Dashner (Maze Runner Series book 2)** *SPOILERS***

So I just finished reading The Scorch Trials which is the second book in the Maze Runner Series. Its been a really long time since I read the first Maze Runner book... I think I read it my Sophomore year of college... so over 4 years ago! And I really liked the movie Maze Runner which came out last year. Thats definitely one of my favorite movies based on a book... ever really. I thought it was really exciting and well done. I think my only complaint about the movie was Teresa really wasn't in it much and I don't think they did a great job with the telepathy stuff... but still it was pretty good. So its been a long time since I've read that and I don't completely remember it... but I think I liked this one a lot better... for a bunch of reasons and I'm really excited to see the movie. The thing I think I liked most about this one was the character development. Thomas just seems like a regular "harry potter" type of character in the first Maze Runner. H...

Woman Crush Wednesday: Jennifer Lawrence!

I feel like Jennifer Lawrence is a lot of people's woman crush, and just crush all around. She is gorgeous and funny and talented. Seriously is there anything she can't do. I'm not someone to get very emotional in movies. When I watch tv and something sad happens, I'll cry or when there is a sad part in a book I'll cry... but Jennifer Lawrence really gets me to cry in movies. Catching Fire just came out and holy shit I almost lost it. I mean yes I did cry a lot in the books, but I wasn't really expecting to get so emotional in the movie because I wasn't too too emotional during the first movie. I really felt for Katniss when she visited District 11 and I just thought no other actress could really do that that well. I don't think I've actually seen any movies of hers other than The Hunger Games and Catching Fire... but I should get on that. She's probably way better in the movies she was nominated for an Oscar in is probably a better performance...

Catching Fire Review! (some mild plot spoilers from The Hunger Games and Catching Fire)

Hello lovely people! I just saw Catching Fire and I liked it so much I figured I'd do a review on it! So if you haven't seen/read the hunger games it is a dystopian novel that focuses on games that people in Panem (which used to be the united states) compete in. The games take children from 12-18 I think, I may be wrong it may be older than 12 and they fight to the death in these Hunger Games that they are automatically entered in and have their names chosen at random. A boy and a girl from each of the 12 districts competes and if they sign their names more times, they will get more food to feed their families. The movies never actually mentioned that, but it's interesting and important. So the heroine of the story is Katniss Everdeen, played by Jennifer Lawrence. She volunteers in the games for her sister. And I don't want to really give away the end of the first one, but Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson are both in the second one... so it's a little obvio...
