<p>Nice! I’m pretty sure my parents would not have let me go no matter what, albeit for different reasons. (I’m also an Asian female). </p>
<p>I haven’t even seen the first Hunger Games movie… it’s super sad. I’ve watched trailers and stuff but not the entire movie.</p>
<p>Is anybody else here a diehard Harry Potter fan? </p>
<p>I feel like all of these new cool movies that appeal to the same crowd are never going to satisfy me because nothing can ever come close to the grandeur and genius of Harry Potter.</p>
<p>^I agree. I’m a pretty diehard Harry Potter fan.</p>
<p>You can watch it online 
(Hunger Games) But true, it’ll never beat Harry Potter.</p>
<p>I’m a huge Harry Potter fan myself, but I also love the Hunger Games.</p>
<p>Even though Harry Potter was great, there’s no new movies or book from the Harry Potter world. So, all the blockbuster stuff coming out right now will have to suffice. Though when the Fantastic Beasts movie comes out…</p>
<p>Well… teenagers do occasionally do some, ah, less than moral things in movie theaters, but I guarantee that no one’ll be stupid enough to try anything like that with teachers all around and the seats packed with their friends.</p>
<p>Beyond that, there aren’t any issues; if your parents believe theaters to be unsafe because of the Denver shooting, then by that same logic it could be argued that school is unsafe because of the Sandy Hook tragedy (which is simply nonsense). Assuming you’re excited about Catching Fire because you read the book, I’d guess that they wouldn’t care about it from a “movies are all sex, violence and immorality” viewpoint (since they did let you read about that stuff).</p>
<p>Now, because I don’t really know if you’ll be able to reason with them, there is one other tactic you could try: mention that there’s an extra credit paper you have to write about it, or something along those lines (it’s not out of the realm of possibility; my middle school had us write a paper on the differences between The Lightning Thief and its movie version after taking us on a field trip to watch it). Lying’s wrong, but so is irrationally keeping someone out of a fun experience.</p>
