Random Movie Thought: I've never seen any of the
Divergent movies (the
Hunger Games knockoff series with Shaileene Woodley), nor do I ever intend to, but I nevertheless recall on a
bafflingly frequent basis that, after joining the
Potter/
Twilight/Hunger Games bandwagon of splitting the source novel's final installment into two flicks, they then canceled the final movie due to the first half's adaptation underperforming. And, even though I care
nothing at all for this series, this factoid somehow pisses me off every time. How could they have not filmed the flicks back-to-back, if not all at once?! And, once it became clear the proper final movie wouldn't be made, how could they not at the
very freaking least have produced an anime conclusion?! The three-movie blu-ray collection now sells for
a mere $10, while both the
Twilight and
Hunger Games sets retail for ~$35. Well, crikey, of
course it does! Who the hell wants 3/4ths of a film set?!
I really have no idea why all this pisses me off so much, perhaps even more so than the fact that New Line/WB has never released the cut (but filmed, and largely if not completely post-produced!) ending to their botched
The Golden Compass flick. But,
somehow, it does. :-/
