Wiki says he was named after his uncle, who was killed in the Korean War.

I enjoyed the books and plan on seeing the movie soon. I don't have high expectations as I know they've skipped over a lot of the stuff in the book and rushed it. I was going to go to the first morning show this past weekend since the ticket price was only $4.50 and figured the bratty kids/annoying loud adults weren't up yet, but I can't work myself up to go to the movies alone just yet

The Kravitzes I guess.

I'll rent it when comes out, read the book and it was interestingly different. Too bad they had to go for the PG though. I'm sure it helped the income, but killed the movie

Lenny Kravitz is sexy until you meet him in person. Wiki says he is 5'7" to 5'9" and I am going to say he isn't either - he is 5'5" - shorter than me. He wears shoes to give him height. Call me a snob but it is hard to fantasize about a man who is shorter than me. 
Since I'm curious, I will wait to see his naked self when this movie hits the Red Box.

I think it was PG-13. There was still a lot of killing, but the deaths were quick and the camera didn't linger. One of the deaths in particular (I don't want to give anything away) was much faster than it should have been. They left a lot out, but to be honest I liked it better that way. I already read the book, and I don't know that I could watch Katniss walk around the woods by herself for too long.The Kravitzes I guess.

Jason Statham is shorter than me and I think he's dead sexy too. I don't plan on ever meeting either so my opinion stands.Lenny Kravitz is sexy until you meet him in person.

My eyes bulged just slightly when I saw it was 2.5 hours long
but yeah it would've been Titanic-like, had they included everything.Jason Statham is shorter than me and I think he's dead sexy too. I don't plan on ever meeting either so my opinion stands.
Luckily, he's just a smidge taller than I am and I'll be a'ok with that when I marry him
Lenny though, I can definitely do without. I was a bit surprised to see him on the cast list.

Lenny Kravitz was an amazing Cinna. I actually wish they'd included more of the Cinna-Katniss interaction because he was exactly the way I imagined that character to be.My eyes bulged just slightly when I saw it was 2.5 hours long

I read all the books and am going to wait until the movie hype dies down before I go.
I liked the hunger games trilogy. I thought it was interesting. I also liked that the main character was a girl. I also liked the Harry Potter and Twilight series, which I know not everyone liked. I can't think of a movie that was better than then book. I'd always spend like 15 minutes after watching every HP movie venting about all the important things they left out.
I even got my husband to read (and by read, I mean listen to, because now that he's figured out the library has all these books on tape, he's quit reading actual books) the first one and he seems interested in reading the following rest.

Mitt Romney: I enjoyed 'Hunger Games'
Romney gives thumbs up to 'The Hunger Games'
ZeitGeist | Way Too Early
Mitt Romney took a day off from campaigning this weekend, so what did he do in his downtime? He took a couple of his grandchildren to see The Hunger Games.
Romney was asked on CNN today about a picture tweeted by his son Matt, showing him with Matt's two children at the movies.
The GOP front-runner said he is a fan of the Suzanne Collins' books about a dystopian future and "enjoyed" the movie, which hauled in $155 million at the box office during its weekend debut.
"That was weekend fun. It was nice to see a flick for the first time in long time," Romney said.

My daughter insisted we go opening day. The whole family has read the books. We all were a bit disappointed in what was left out in the movie, but they did have to fit a lot into a certain time frame. I agree that it may have been better served as a mini-series.
That would have been much better.
