First, let me say, I thought the movie was really, really great. I loved Katniss' (she's so beautiful!).
The scenes of Panem were great and the Capitol fashion was pretty fun. Effie was my favourite, I can't wait to see more of her.

We saw the 4:45pm movie, right after work, in a small theatre. It was perfect because we were playing ball hockey together later that evening. Since we came from work we had a couple bags with our ball hockey gear, along with some sandwiches Ashley picked up from our favourite German deli for dinner. There were about 12 people in the whole theatre. We had taken our shoes off, settled ourselves in nicely, we made ourselves comfortable.
The lights dimmed and the previews began as we got more and more excited to meet the characters we had fallen in love with in the book.
Then, all of a sudden, a couple strolls in, walks down our row and the guy sits right beside me. Like RIGHT beside me.
I looked over at Ashley and we sort of gave each other quizzical looks.
What could I do?
My personal bubble isn't very big, and I definitely expect to be close to people when I go to a movie theatre. But when there are a hundred seats to choose from and someone sits RIGHT beside me (during The Hunger Games, when I have my shoes off and legs crossed, ball hockey gear on the ground beside me, and I'm enjoying my German deli sandwich with my best friend Ashley) I'm a little annoyed!
It all turned out to be fine in the end. The guy ate his pop corn pretty quietly and leaned towards his friend on the other side of him. Plus the movie was so captivating, I hardly noticed he was there.
But what do you think? Strange behaviour? Isn't there some type of movie theatre etiquette where this is totally unacceptable?
