Feeling a little too good lately? Take a look at the OG Hunger Game.

 

IKR. Can't I just watch films that makes me take a break from reality? lol

That’s what Psycho Goreman and Turbo Kid are for

I always think of the og hunger games as either Running Man or Battle Royale

Stephen King wrote "The Long Walk" even before "Running Man" in '79

IMO it's the most brutal of the "Battle Royale" type storys.

I was kinda meaning movie wise. I guess as far as books, maybe most dangerous game might be the og, but I’m not really sure there. 
I read a few of King’s books when I was younger, but decided that it’s for the best if I never read story books anymore. I figure if it’s a decent story they’ll make a movie. And I really don’t want to be that guy that everyone totally hates that says “the book was better”.

I kinda envy you for being somewhat in the dark about how badly many movies are written 😄

It’s actually kind of a relief in a lot of ways. You don’t get frustrated when some great story gets ruined. I think I’d be even happier if I had never read anything by Tolkien when I was a kid. Maybe I wouldn’t be as frustrated with rings of power. Or maybe the Hobbit movies wouldn’t seem so tedious

I can assure you from personal experience that this doesn't help the movies at all.

I honestly enjoy the cartoon version a lot more than the movies overall.
