Just re-watched Divergent on cable last night, lol, and it's still the winner, in my opinion. Can't wait to see the new one.

BUT, I think jenac1966, what HoneyFly was maybe actually referring to with Zip-lining heroine, was the scenes in Divergent where they would jump from the trains. I don't recall them using zip lines, but then again, I haven't seen it in a while. But those scenes do make you feel like they are zip lining out of the train, or when they are just running around like crazy, they are zipping around. lol. Plus, the word Heroine, is not just a drug name. Anyone who writes, or reads comic books or watches superhero movies, knows that this word also means the female hero in the story, thus heroine. But it's like a old school term, I think. Thanks to the English language, it's of course a word spelled the same way, but with two completely different meanings. Only in America!!! lol. |

Ya know? Bibically God only honors divorce for two reasons. (1) Abandonment. (2) Adultery. (Abuse is something else). If there's anything worse then cheating, it's THIS! My advice to any ladies out there in this situation with abuse, got two easy words for you: GET OUT! In THIS case, the grass definitely could and probably is, greener on the other side, lol! |

Hmm. Well, perhaps for some this could be a tough one. A lot of factors could go into it. Like if I'm 99 years old and she cheats, am I gonna leave? For what? Just for example, lol.
Personally, I think cheating on your significant other is about the biggest trust thing in a relationship that you could break. Most other things are forgivable, but this is like hitting at the core of a relationship. I mean, how much closer can you get to someone, than that deep, intimate, skin to skin, body "connected to body" if you know what I mean. Sweat mingling with sweat. Etc. Can't get much closer than that, right? Then next thing you know, HEY, WHO the hell's perfume is that? Then that's all you can think of the next time, if there is one. Right? Know what I mean? So for me, if your gonna break any rule in a relationship, don't break this one. Just say it's over, and move on. Or at least agree to a break, and dating other people, to see if it's really over, or you realize, hey, what we got ain't so bad, it's much worse out there! Think, the grass is NOT always greener on the other side, folks. |

Yeah, I like your assessment msharmony. Your right, especially about Edward looking like he was constantly about to throw up! lol. Never thought about that until now.
And yeah, great points about Divergent. Again, a mostly dull female role/lead. I think though, that it was because of the story character itself, and not the actress, of course. BUT, I think OVERALL, I'd still have to stick with Divergent, for OVERALL ACTION. Wouldn't you agree? I did indeed like the character in The Hunger Games, Katniss, for all the reasons you mentioned. Of all the films, this female lead was the most rounded and identifiable. But like my point with these three movies, at least Divergent didn't suffer nearly as much slow points in the movie line. I am very much looking forward to The Mockingjay, Part 2. Just watched part 1 recently, and with the previews of part 2, I can't wait for that to come out, and see how everything turns out. Will Katniss marry "the boy who would be King", or her lifelong friend/lover guy? Hmm...lol. |

DIVERGENT, THE TWILIGHT SERIES, OR THE HUNGER GAMES AKA MOCKINGJAY/BIRD, WHATEVER.
This could be like opening a can of worms, perhaps. I'm expecting that most responses to this will be from women. Why is that? Well, simply it's because ALL three of these movies have as their core heroin a female lead(like hero, as in like comic book lingo, NOT like the drug, heroin, though maybe I'm not spelling this right?). Anyways, they all share the same Female lead role as the primary character in the movie. Thus, I expect more women, than guys, may have seen all of these, especially with the Twilight Series. While I did enjoy the Twilight series, as I've always been into the whole vampire thing anyways and it so happens that I was raised in Forks, WA where it had it's settings, unfortunately it, in my opinion, suffered the most of these three movies from lots of slow parts. Maybe because of books requiring us to use our imagination to visuals "scenes" as we read, perhaps that's why the books seemed much less slower. Or maybe they just catered to Stephanie Meyers wish to focus on her female main character who, let's face it, isn't a Ripley from Aliens, or that chick from the, oh, what's the name of that movie series, the bad *** chick who is Vampire herself, but fights other vampire or the dead, or werewolves? You know the one I mean. The chick in The Hunger Games was a much better bad ***, but THAT series also had a lot of slow part issues to it. Then there is Divergent. Now THIS one, despite following the same female lead role formula as the other two franchises, is not only BAD ***, but falls in with a huge group of OTHER BAD *****, Male and Female! Much better, and thus, definitely gains my vote over the other two. Just recently been seeing previews of the 2nd one in this series, and it's looking good. Hope they keep up the intensity of the first one. I LOVED Iron Man, and a little less the 2nd one, but the third was dismal. Even Robert Downey Jr with his so killer sarcastic joking good and bad *** humor, couldn't save this one. By way, talk about a drugged out, nearly dead, career and his life literally almost gone, COMEBACK King of MOVIES! Way to go ROBERT! Yes, I diverged, lol! Get it? hahhaa. So there you have it. Divergent---most definitely the clear winner of these three movie franchises, in my opinion. Would love to know yours! Peace, all, and hope everyone had a great day. Here in Seattle/Tacoma, Washington where I am, it was BEAUTIFUL!!!! P.s---I can't WAIT for the new Aliens, and the TERMINATOR!!! |
