FUNNY HA HA: The Onion’s movie critic Peter K. Rosenthal Reviews ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’

1. total bollox, this is the type of stereotyping that is driving thousands of our young people to suicide

2. So true 8inchwextop. Lets teach everyone how to be superficial douchebags. Not to mention Josh Hutcherson is fucking beautiful. He might not look good blonde, but damn, follow that boys career, he’s so damn cute and I’d LOVE to see him shirtless.

3. What a fucking waste of time, this guy talks crap!

4. This is satire folks. The critic is reviewing this in the eyes of a teenage girl. What you need to be upset about are the original YOUTUBE comments where the opened-minded populous says, ” All fags should die!”
   I don’t know what disturbs me more, people who still want us dead, or people to truly thought this review was straight up.

5. cool

6. Frankly it would seem this review is hummmm, how shall i put this.. a tad biased. It`s obvious this critic (who i see as old(er) has a wood on for the younger guys (or as he referred them to as `boys`) and honestly, that is what they are just `boys`

   Give me a man (LOL one that is at least past puberty) anyday

7. oh and also i am soooooooooooo tired of the buffed being all there is in gay men. Our community is a hell of a lot broader than that and just personally, for me, i like a man who has a bit of meat on their bones. Just sayin`(smile)

8. I’m with you, mattelboy. It’s satire, and it’s funny. Don’t get all serious and take this for more than it actually is — or maybe you’ve never experienced “The Onion” before?

9. Who cares what this Peter jerk thinks, All the boys in the movies these days are hot & cute blah blah blah…Its all in the eye of
   the beholder anyway ! Why is this crap on squirt , where are the big dicks…lol .O)

10. I will close this with one comment.
    I still give to charity even when it’s NOT appreciated. Sarge, keep up the amazing work. You are giving a banquet of info and finds even if people don’t realize it. Kudos to you!

11. The Onion, like SNL and other satirical sites, runs the gambit from hysterical to WTF. They used to be more consistent when they were print only and issued every two weeks. That gave them the luxury of time to refine their spoofs, but print is dead and next month is the last issue. They successfully moved, not only to the Web only, but from NY to Chicago. About a third of their veteran writing staff stayed behind losing a lot of original talent. They also have to contend with the MTV attention span of the Web and pump out fresh routines daily that are often not refined like in the past, so now it’s quantity over quality. Their writing staff is also doing a lot of ad work for Lenovo, Clorox, and others further lowering the time spent on The Onion. Hopefully, their core product will rebound…time will tell.
    This video skit had a weak premise and repeating the ‘hot’ punch line was more tedious than funny. Hunger Games is rife with social commentary and pretensions that could have been spoofed with some biting wit ala Colbert. This skit missed the mark…

12. mattelboy, and as always, behairy…….thanks for being here. I am scanning these comments and getting dizzy!!! BUT it takes me back to the first time I saw an onion ad, and thought it was real reporting til I was halfway thru…it helped me pull my head out of my joeboxers and get out more!

13. This near pedophile needs a life. I would rather watch an actor that he considers a six who can actually act – than an actor he calls a ten that has no acting ability – I watch a movie for entertainment value not to see a “hot” actor who can not act – and he mentioned several!!

14. Even if this is ‘satire’it is just not funny.

15. It was mildly funny satire, but the majority of comments here makes me think that looking at too much porn destroys brain cells.

16. yes I would do the both guy there not bad would give it to him that he would not forget

17. mattelboy i think is the only guy on here that has got it, it is totally told in the eyes of a school girl or boy for that matter.

18. It’s THE ONION for crying out loud! (no pun intended) It’s meant to be funny….geez,,,relax guys

19. Wow…long slow clap at the awe-inspiring number of people who didn’t realize this was satire.
