Sounds like the first part of the premise of Catcher in the Rye.

After reading the wikipedia plot, this looks like someone trying to make some money off of the hunger games and doing a bad job of it(admittedly, I don't like the hunger games)

What is this? I don't even...

gak mash up trailer is gak

I can't see the trailer, so I've been reading the plot on Wikipedia... it's most definitely in the realm of Catcher in the Rye, The Giver, and more recently: Twilight, Hunger Games, Mortal Instruments, the Matched series, the Lorien Legacies (I am Number Four), etc... It's a recent rush of YA novels where people have felt they live in a society that is constricting and goes against what they feel they believe in. It's been around forever (note the Catcher reference earlier in the thread), but ever since the massive financial success Twilight has been, these novels have been picking up steam.

Edit: While Twilight was gak, Hunger Games had a gakky ending (and a bit of a downer one if you think about it), many of these series are "essential" Because in the end the main characters come to realize that society is "working" the way it is, and that they will eventually need to fit in society lest they fall by the wayside. Things can change, but even as "different" as they feel, they will have to adapt to society more than society will have to adapt to them.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548442/5986341.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548442/5986341.page GMT Angsty Teenager: The Movie
There isn't a question about what YA novels or films are, but how hilariously bad this looks, and how incredibly unsubtle it is. Mortal Instruments and Hunger Games aren't exactly subtle either, but they look like Ulysses in comparison.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548442/5986380.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548442/5986380.page GMT Angsty Teenager: The Movie

I enjoyed the first hunger games, I'll probably enjoy the second one as well, and while I hated the third book, they will probably change the one thing I disliked about it and I'll probably enjoy it as well.

Mortal Instruments sounded like a cool idea... and then I found out it's just a giant piece of fanwank/romance story and I feel sullied that I own most of her works... Also the guy they got to play Jace... I wouldn't see that film just based on him ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548442/5986404.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548442/5986404.page GMT Re:Angsty Teenager: The Movie

Kane sucked, Rear Window was better with the action-y remake (still not that much better) and Chaplin was boring in most of his roles.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548442/5986710.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548442/5986710.page GMT Angsty Teenager: The Movie

Because I linked to the wrong trailer it seems. The original place I saw it doesn't embed as easily, or universally, so I went to Youtube. I had no idea someone also made a crappy fan trailer.

I replaced it now with the actual trailer.

Not really sure what that movie will be about... her fighting... the evil of... conformity...

That totally resonates with the 1-Direction loving, i-phone using teen girls that this movie is aimed at.

I love how conventionally attractive everybody is in that trailer. They should have made her deformed or something.

For a second I was all "what the hell, you read the first and third book but skipped the second??" and then I realized you've read the books and are referring to the movies.

The first book was okay, but I've yet to see the movie or pick up the remainder.

When I want a shot of modern fantasy these days I hit up the Dresden Files. Skin Game cannot come out soon enough. Shame the show sucked (or so I heard).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548442/5987503.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548442/5987503.page GMT Angsty Teenager: The Movie http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548442/5987518.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/548442/5987518.page GMT
