THE HUNGER GAMES Theme Park In The Works, Which Makes Complete Sense
It’s a good thing The Hunger Games isn’t in part about the numbing affect of entertainment on the masses, entertainment used by the ruling class to oppress resistance and maintain its grip on power. Thank god it’s not about that at all. Because then a theme park, the most mind-numbing of all entertainment opiates, would seem to stand in the face of the work’s own message. On a conference call with analysts the other day, Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer mentioned that the company had been approached for a Hunger Games theme park. And in a brilliant move, they’re actually working to make it happen. Hypocrisy aside, nothing says family fun like knowing that if you send your kids into the arena, only one of them is going to return. I’d recommend skipping your hotel and going straight to the park so...

See The Animatronic Baby That Was Banished From TWILIGHT: BREAKING DAWN, PART II
I’ve never watched Twilight: Breaking Dawn, Part II. In fact, I didn’t see a single movie in that franchise after that horrendous first film. But apparently, I missed out. I mean, any movie that would create a creepy, 60-pound animatronic baby that looks like it has the birth defects you’d see in the Peacock Boys’ offspring must have something going for it, right?

Teacher Suspended for Showing SAW in Class

Those are the movies I watched when I was around 10-years-old and I turned out perfectly fine(ish). But anything that can be described as “torture porn” shouldn’t be shown to anyone, let alone 11-year-olds. From France’s The Local: Jean-Baptiste Clément, a maths teacher at a college in Colombes, near Paris, is alleged to have shown a class full of 11-year-old pupils the infamously gruesome horror movie ‘Saw,’ on Monday. Clément told the children: “This will be your first horror film,” according to French radio Europe 1. According to a father of one of the pupils at the school in Hautes-de-Seine, in the north-western suburbs of Paris, he first discovered the extraordinary screening when his young...
