I haven’t read them yet, but there are two more books after the original trilogy. This is the fifth book. I think the fourth was the President Snow prequel which also had a movie.

There’s a John Cena joke there somewhere.

Good thing no one is compromising their country’s ability to research and develop such technologies!

So long as they’re not moving on to a new one, good. Religion is a plague on human society. We don’t need it holding us back.

Holy crap. My theater is $15 per ticket for the giant screen and I still think it’s a rip-off. It used to be — and not like 20 years ago, two years ago — that same ticket was $8-10, depending on the film. They’ve also added surcharges for evening showings, so that $15 ticket after 6pm is now an $18 ticket. My pricing has gone up 30-120% depending on when the showtime is. And this is a rural theater. I don’t even want to know what the establishments closer into the city are charging.

I’m never spending $100 just on tickets; that money could go a much longer distance at home with AppleTV+ or Max or whatever.

In my experience, the secret is a big jug of fake popcorn flavoring. Yum.

When even the rural theaters are $10+ per ticket, it’s much easier and cheaper to make movie theater popcorn at home at wait for it to hit streaming. A movie outing for my family is like $120 each time with tickets and concessions and such. They should diversify, or they’re going to follow arcades into the dustbin of entertainment history. Ironically maybe this will be a thing that brings arcades back too.

But at least they were born, and isn’t that all that counts?
