PhotoMove Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if my destination folder contains duplicate files?
In the Free Version of PhotoMove, if it finds a duplicate file name in the destination folder, the source file is not moved or copied.
In the Pro Version of PhotoMove, you can choose from three options: Opt 1: Do not move or copy the source file. (Same as the free version.) Opt 2: Automatically rename the source file, then move or copy it. Opt 3: Overwrite the existing destination file with the source file.
How long does it take PhotoMove to run?
If you have a slower computer, it can take quite a bit of time to run the 'Find' process. On a test of 1600 .jpg files on a Vista computer with a 2500 MHz CPU (four year old mid range computer), it took approx 1 minute for the 'Find' process to run. Then moving the files into their new sorted by date folders took less than 10 seconds.
Your results will vary. If you think you are having problems, copy a few (20 or less) of your images to a new test folder. Run PhotoMove on these test files. Feel free to contact us if you find you still have problems.
* Do a few tests first if you plan on running PhotoMove on a directory with thousands of files.
Does PhotoMove contain any Adware or SpyWare?Definitely not!
We guarantee that PhotoMove does not have any built in or hidden spyware, adware or viruses of any kind.
Is there any charge for the PhotoMove 2 Free program?

(Literary Essentials: Short Fiction Masterpieces)
Stephen Dixon's short fiction is almost always characterized as being "experimental," "fabulous," or "quirky" in the tradition of Franz Kafka and Samuel Beckett. However, although Dixon has experimented with a wide range of narrative devices and fictional techniques, many of his stories, as imaginative and inventive as they may be, largely seem to be just that—bloodless experiments with devices and techniques rather than stories about real human events.
Dixon's favorite technique—what some critics have called "experimental realism"—is to create stories that seem grounded in solid, everyday reality and at the same time completely fantastic in their plots and character configurations. This narrative method was made famous in the early twentieth century by Franz Kafka in such stories as Die Verwandlung (1915; The Metamorphosis, 1936)—a fiction which seems absolutely realistic in its most minute details once the reader accepts the fantastic initial premise that the central character is a giant dung beetle. The technique is also similar to what has been called Magical Realism as practiced by South American writer Gabriel García Márquez, in which fantastic and fabulous events are described as if they were taking place in a specific real world instead of in the "once-upon-a-time" world of fairy tales or in the purely imaginative world of folktales and parables.
"Man of Letters"
Many of Dixon's stories are experiments with traditional narrative structures. For example, "Man of Letters" makes use of the epistolary form, in which a man named Newt, who features in a number of Dixon's stories, writes a series of letters to a woman he has been dating. Although he begins the first letter with the sentence, "I don't want to see you anymore," by the time he has verbally examined the relationship and justified his decision by writing a whole stack of letters, he ends by saying, "No matter what I'll be seeing you Friday night." It is as if the very act of writing has so self-consciously engaged the protagonist that he cannot state his feelings; he is too busy trying to impress instead of saying simply what he wants to express. Many of Dixon's stories convey this sense of becoming bogged down in verbal and narrative cleverness, thus never quite expressing a truly human experience.
"The Signing"
In a number of Dixon's stories, characters try to avoid coming to terms with tragedy. In "The Signing," for example, a man's wife dies, and as he leaves the hospital room, a nurse asks him about arrangements for the body. He tells her to burn it or to give it to science, for he wants only to get away from the hospital as quickly as he can. As the man catches a bus to escape, a security guard follows him to try to get him to sign the necessary papers. He not only refuses to return to the hospital but also throws away the wristwatch his wife gave him, says he is going to let their car rot in the street, and even takes off the clothes she bought for him and throws them out the bus window. By wanting to destroy everything connected with his wife, the protagonist seems both to be expressing a grief that goes beyond ordinary responses and...

NBC has made the call not to air the piece on one-year later piece on Chris Benoit. "Dateline" was to do the special, but it appears as if Nancy's friends want nothing to do with the media, and with the lack of people interested in commenting on camera, they felt the piece wasn't worth doing.

Six clubs were fined a total of $237,155 following an audit of all club's books from the 2007 season, down from the $464,849 in fines stemming from the 2006 season. Souths were the hardest hit with a fine of $70,625, with Wests Tigers ($46,800), Canberra ($45,813), the Bulldogs ($25,000 with a further $25,000 suspended), premiers Melbourne ($13,917) and Brisbane ($10,000) also ordered to cough up. While details of the breaches were not released by the NRL, the governing body claimed most of the fines were related to payments that had been disclosed but were accompanied by incorrect classifications. NRL chief executive David Gallop said the audits showed that clubs were working hard to meet the demands of the cap. "Even in the case of undisclosed payments that we detected there is a frank realisation from the club involved that a breach was committed," Gallop said. "We must retain tough deterrents to ensure that all clubs continue to meet the procedures we have in place. "Those procedures are the key to maintaining a level of scrutiny that ensures clubs are on a level playing field." ____________________________________________________________________ Salary cap fine for Storm - again April 14, 2005 Melbourne Storm has fallen foul of the NRL salary cap police for the fifth straight year, being fined $120,000 for breaches dating back to 2001. ____________________________________________________________________ The second section was released in 05. The Storm have somehow cheated (yes, even if only by a little amount) 6 years out of our last 8 !! LoL They obviously don't give a ****.

Why you need to rebuild hard drive?
After operating your computer for a couple of years, you hard drive becomes as personal as your diary. With passage of time, you gather numerous files from documents to pictures and other information, which is irreplaceable. If the worst thing happens and your hard drive proves a failure, then do not think that your endeavor comes to grinding halt. You can rebuild hard drive. But, at this you need to ask yourself whether you are competent enough to do this. If not, then go through the various steps being mentioned below:
The process of rebuilding a hard drive
- While rebuilding a computer system, the user would be in need of making a backup file containing all the pieces of information. This is achieved by simply making a copy of all data, which is important to the user including internet favorites, music, pictures and documents. This data is storable in another hard drive, CD, DVD or drive and several other devices for storage of data. All files or information in the computer after rebuilding needs to be copied by the user.
- The second step entails location of the required software. The user needs to ensure that all the disks of the operating system are with him/her including all the applications of software, which need to be installed depending on the requirements of the user. The drivers of external devices such as printers are downloadable from the website of manufacturer. You need to make sure that all the serial numbers required in the process of installation of the software are manipulative.
- The user needs to format the hard drive of computer. This process deletes all the stored information in the computer and should be carried out only when all the important data have been copied. You should be sure that software is easily found. Formatting of the hard drive eliminates all the information fed in the drive and cannot be retrieved as soon as it has started formatting. Typically, the procedure of arranging is accomplishable by insertion of the boot plate and afterward writing the 'format c'.
- When formatting has been done, you should start the process of installation of the software. You need to start with the oldest software and end up with the newer one. This is carried out as the newer one is generally more consistent and remains more updated in creating the issues with the more seasoned one which had been introduced prior. You should be sure of making installations of the all the important drivers. Users may also apply to personalize the settings as required.
- Give back all the copied information as well as other documents to the computer. This entails copying all the pieces of information from the storage device, which had been used in creation of the backup file.
- At last, you should take the test of the application in order to make sure that they are working in a proper way. For this, you need to open the application in order to ensure that they are carrying out work as they should be and there were no such problems during the process of installation. As a result, you will be able to rebuild hard drive more successfully.

Several years ago, I was just about to start teaching a class on pricing houses strategically when an agent approached me. He was a nice looking young man (approximately 32 years old) and he looked determined.
After exchanging pleasantries, he said, "I want you to know why I'm here. Last week I had to tell my 5-year old princess that she could not have dance lessons. It broke my heart". I could see he was getting angry as he continued, "The reason I could not pay for those lessons is because I spent too much money marketing a listing. I'm okay spending money to make money but at some point I realized this house would never sell…it was priced too high and the sellers refused to budge. Now I have a lot of money sunk into a house with no chance of recouping my investment and my family is suffering because of it."
Sadly, that's not the first time I'd heard a similar story. But I do have an update for you…
The consequences of an overpriced house can be totally staggering for you.
With that said, here's my top 5 consequences of an overpriced house for you, the agent:
5. Destroys Your Confidence
Many people believe we sell houses…but that's not true. General brokerage agents sell his/her service package. In order to be good at selling the product I'll call, "You, Inc." requires confidence that the product can deliver its promise.
An overpriced listing can fill an agent with self-doubt. Self-doubt erodes confidence. Lack of confidence means less willingness to promote the product. And that's bad…
4. Ruins Your Reputation with Consumers and Agents
Here I have a little myth busting to do…The number #1 rebuttal I hear from agents when discouraging them from taking an overpriced house: Having a sign in a yard is always a good idea!
For better or worse, when you take a listing, you and that house are attached together. If that house is exciting and looks good; so do you. Your reward will be new buyers and sellers because people like affiliating with a winner.
If that house is sad and tired and rejected; then so are you. The consequence of that is people believe you can't do your job, which of course brings even bigger consequences.
3. Makes You Hate Listings
Not even once have I gotten off the phone with a seller who is mad and thought, "Okay, I need to get more listings!"
Many agents report running toward buyers after having an overpriced listing. What's so bad about that you might ask? Well, several things actually:
While a buyer may get you a commission check, buyers don't provide you any leverage for your business. Yes, they could send you a referral, but most don't. Not because you didn't do a great job but because they don't know that's how it works.
A listing builds your business by providing opportunities to get more listings, buyers, promotes your brand, provides social proof, and the list goes on and on.
If there's an agent you admire, more than likely that agent is a strong listing agent.
2. Prevents You from Taking Other Good Opportunities
Every piece of business (buyer and seller) has a cost of lost opportunity. While you are working with a buyer or seller, you are missing out on another one. One of the tenets of being a strategic agent is accepting the concept of lost opportunity and picking where you use your energy wisely. When you are working with a seller with a bad price, you are missing a seller that is motivated and willing to put on a good price.
1. Sucks You Dry of Time, Energy, Enthusiasm and Money (TEEM)
Overpriced listings deplete all of your resources, drags down your business, and makes you cry for your momma. Nothing else needs to be explained about that.
So what are you going to do about all of this?
I have a suggestion…take my free webinar: How to Get a Reasonable Asking Price from Unreasonable Sellers: Discover a 3-Step Process. Find the details and register here.
P.S. Did you watch the video at the top of this page? If not, you missed the end of the story on how that young man so frustrated at the beginning of my pricing strategically class is doing NOW in his business.

In Lisa See's novel Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, which character other than Lily or Snow Flower was most influential??
- print Print
- list Cite
In Lisa See's novel Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, the two main characters are Lily and Snow Flower, with Lily being the protagonist and her relationship with Snow Flower the impetus of the plot. Many minor characters populate the novel, including the women's children, especially their two daughters, their parents, and their husbands. Perhaps the most important figure, though, in terms of influence is Madame Wang.
First, Madame Wang is a matchmaker, a role in which she affects who people marry, and a culturally significant and powerful role in the culture of the period. Next, she is the person who first suggested that Lily form a "laotong" relationship with Snow Flower. She also insists that Lily's footbinding be meticulous and that this and the laotong relationship will bring the family good luck. Next, Madame Wang arranges a very good marriage for Lily with the eldest son of a wealthy family, a marriage that is quite happy, as Lily finds her husband and in-laws agreeable.
Great thank you

"If you can't fly then run, if you can't run the walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward."
— Martin Luther King Jr.
I've always loved this quote. Sometimes I wonder why I spent so much time standing still, or even going in reverse, being so negligent to my body and it's physical and emotional well being. It's so easy to make small changes to keep yourself moving forward, and it's a shame that we as humans can self-sabotage so easily. Crazy.
I've had thoughts pop into my head the past couple of days regarding my mom, who died a couple of years ago at 50 years young. Sunday, I went to sleep with some back pain and when I woke up Monday, I literally couldn't move. Paralyzing back spasms kept me from even trying to get off the bed. I finally fell off of it, then had to drag myself up and I somehow fought through the pain and made it to work. Went to the doctor and it's nothing serious- inflamed sacroiliac joint (connects hip to spine) that is putting pressure on my sciatic nerve on my right side. Tuesday spent the day completely immobile, and it was miserable.
It took about 10 years for my mom's Parkinson's Disease to completely cripple her. Can you imagine being in your 40's and having to be in a nursing home? I know that many people have similar stories of tragedy striking before it seems that it is time to. When I was laid out on my back all day yesterday, I read Susan Blech's Confessions of a Carb Queen. Her mom had an anyeurism when she was young and was institutionalized. Her description of her mothers inability to really communicate or to ever be able to come home really struck a chord in me. She and I both got to the same ridiculously high number on the scale. Pure neglect and self-sabotage trying to eat for comfort. Yet our mothers had similar circumstances where they didn't have the LUXURY that we all do– to change our actions to affect our lifestlye in the long run. I'm laying starting at my ceiling fan while my back is spasming and while my back issue didn't have anything to do with my weight, I could almost see, crystal clear, the picture of what I could have become should I not have chosen to start to move forward, as Dr. King so eloquently expresses. As I literally crawled to the bathroom since I couldn't get upright, all I could do is be thankful that nothing more serious is wrong with me and that I can make changes now so I don't become a bed-bound huge woman who couldn't get past the self-neglect to move herself forward.
Dr. King's quote will be one of my daily mantra's going forward. Because going forward is the only option.

First, congratulations to Phil: he had a Hall of Fame (HOF) round on a HOF course at a HOF tournament by a a HOF golfer. In other words, he played great with the kind of round that will be a highlight someday when they are discussing Phil's career.
Now back to Mr. Tiger. Let me say that I try to keep what athletes do in their personal lives separate from what they do as athletes. For that reason I've been able to remain a fan of Tiger the golfer. He's one of the greatest of all time. That much can be said without argument.
I've been routing for him to make a comeback for the excitement and quality of golf he brings to most tournaments he's in. However, his behavior in interviews is really getting tiresome and might have something to do with why he's stuck on number 14.
At the end of his round on Sunday he gave an interview, which is more than he usually does when he loses. The interviewer served him a softball at the end asking him what he thought of Phil's round. All he had to say was 'Remarkable, my hat goes off to him, he deserved to win'.
Even if there's bad blood between the two, there's a code of good sportsmanship that all great athletes must adhere to; recognize great performance when it happens and respect your fellow competitors. Tiger's snub was inexcusable.
The tiresome part is his steely eyed, gritted teeth refusal to say anything about his own game but 'I played well' or I couldn't adjust to the speed of the greens. He might have played well for most golfers on the planet last Sunday, but he didn't play well for Tiger Woods and he didn't play well compared to Phil Mickelson who beat him by 8 strokes that day. If you think that's playing well, then you're not the Tiger Woods I thought I knew.
Every golfer suffers and everyone who plays knows this. Everyone has moments when you wonder why you continue to play. We look to the best to show us how to handle disappointment, move on and get our games back on track. Tiger just can't seem to share anything real about his game unless it's commenting on a highlight reel moment.
Billy Harmon made a very telling comment on the Golf Channel yesterday about Tiger's missed putt on the first hole on Sunday. He said Tiger made a putting stroke filled with doubt and ended up pushing it by the hole. Champions miss putts, but they don't doubt themselves.
Nowadays, when Tiger gets to a Major the doubt starts creeping in, particularly on Saturday and Sunday. Billy went on to say that Tiger will figure it out and get back on track, that all great players go through periods of doubt which they have to endure and emerge purified on the other side.
My belief is you can't fix something if you don't acknowledge it and this is where Tiger's stoic interviews hurt him. He never says much except that he 'had to grind it out'. In fact, 'grind' is the most used word in a Tiger interview, or so it seems. Does Phil say 'grind'? rarely.
Phil continues to show us his human side. He's not afraid to call himself even 'stupid' at times, the operative word being 'afraid'. Tiger is afraid to explain where his problems are and that fear is only going to mount in future Majors until he takes it head on. It's as if he's trying to convince himself he's not afraid by refusing to say he's got problems.
Even though he's one FOUR times this year, more than anyone else, there is something very wrong when he gets to the Majors. I don't believe golf is fun for Tiger. I wonder if his friendship with Rory has taken the fun out of Rory's game as well. I hope not. Rory is a streaky player, who goes by feel and when he's having fun he's superlative. As his game continues to remain in the doldrums his mood is turning more sour.
Maybe Rory should go play a few rounds with Phil and forget Tiger. Phil is having a blast on the course and it shows. He doesn't feel he has anything to prove, whereas Tiger is still focused on beating Jack's record in the Majors.
Phil will take on any shot with excitement, not steely eyed determination. If he hits a bad shot he moves on. He'll even say he hit a bad shot when asked, not 'I had to grind it out'. Perhaps Tiger's attitude has finally become tiresome even for him.
Maybe the key to Tiger's renewed dominance in Majors isn't Shaun Foley, maybe it's an attitude adjustment. Forget the swing coach and go find a psychoanalyst or start practicing at Captain Carl's Mini Golf, then come back and win the PGA at Oak Hill!

Lovelies, what if one day you stumbled on a whole new way to be you? You hear one sentence, said quietly to someone else, read one line in a book, hear part of a song and something inside of you clicks and you change? Change and growth happen slowly, over time, but can they also happen in an instant?
Something I read over a year ago is still flying around in my head, clamoring to be heard.
What if being open and vulnerable is a truer sign of strength than building thick walls of protection that keep you from disappointment?
Yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable and sometimes afraid, but that doesn't change the truth that I am brave and worthy of love and belonging //brené brown
My whole life attitude changed (just ask my boyfriend and close friends) when I read Daring Greatly by Brené Brown. A long time pursuer of perfection and people pleasing, her words were like a jolt of caffeine on a cold morning mixed with the warm squeeze of a wise old friend. My previous mindset of what it meant to be brave and what that looked like in my every day life was forever changed.
What do you think of when you hear the word brave? Perhaps a superhero charging into a dangerous situation, cape flying, no regrets. Maybe the image of a powerful animal, not letting anything get in its way. Or maybe you think of the girl right next to you who seems to dive into deep water without a second thought and always emerges victorious – I know that's what often comes to my mind.
We don't often think of a weak person (or even ourselves) when we consider what being brave looks like. Surely a brave person doesn't tremble and shake before a meeting? A brave person doesn't need a pep talk and a brave person doesn't make mistakes or need any help. And a brave person certainly doesn't blabber about their feelings, letting their expectations get in the way. They always know what is coming their way, how the situation will turn out.
What if I told you that none of that is true? That being brave doesn't equal success, placid emotions, or self-sufficiency? That the true test of bravery is the fact that you are standing there, shaking, taking one more step forward?
Perhaps bravery looks like going home and trying again tomorrow. Bravery is the ability to confide your deepest, darkest thoughts to those closest to you. Bravery is being able to cry in the midst of those who love you. Being brave means having hopeful expectations and knowing that you can handle the unknown outcome of the situation.
I think of this every time I'm heading into a new situation and I feel like I'm standing on quick sand. The very fact that my heart is beating out of control means that I am putting myself in a situation that is uncomfortable and I'm doing it anyway (brave).
Your hands are sweaty and clammy but you showed up and you're trying (brave).
Your tummy is turning somersaults and your bed sounds do inviting but you are working on having a hard conversation and you're doing it anyway (brave).
The brain turns these nervous feelings into danger signals that tell us to run away, fast. But these signals that we interpret as danger are actually signs of bravery – you are stepping out and acting in a way that is uncommon. Because true, real bravery and the ability to be vulnerable is not common.
So celebrate those shaky legs and pounding heart – they are the awareness that comes with having courage and being brave.
Do you struggle with bravery? Tell me in the comments, I'd love to journey into bravery with you!

I have been dating this guy and he is really quiet now. He almost never tells me about what is making him upset. I ask him and he just shrugs. we can sit alone for hours in complete silence because something is bothering him and he won't tell me what it is. I thought it was just how he was, but then yesterday someone else asked him what was wrong after i had asked three or four times and he told her. He told her everyting that was bothering him like it was no big deal. What is going on. Im his girlfriend isn't he supposed to be able to tell me stuff like that. Then after she left he got all quiet again. I have no idea what this means... What should i do?
Most Helpful Girl
First of all, STOP asking him what's wrong! You asked him once and he told you what he wanted you to know - even if it was just a shrug. Guys feel COMPLETELY different about things than us girls. Guys want to feel macho, manly, and like they can handle it all... especially to the person he is dating. If he were to tell you everything that's going "wrong" in his life, he feels like he is burdening you with his problems, even though us girls don't feel that way. Plus, the natural thing for a girl to do is to try to fix whatever is wrong... but if you do that it would make him feel like less of a man.
Just be you, and stop hounding him to tell you what's wrong. It's ok to ask once, but no matter what his answer is, drop it after that. And if he DOES open up to you, DO NOT try to solve his problem unless he straight up asks you for advice or help! Hounding him about it if you pressuring him which will only push him further away. Don't take it personally, it's not about you, it's about him. Let him deal with his problems his way. If you don't you just may lose him for good.00|00|0
The first time i asked him what was wrong was days ago. Yesterday he seemed off again and i asked him if everything was ok and he shrugged then i let it go and tried to make him smile by just being me. But he was still sad so we just sat in quiet for a while until this girl came up and asked him what was wrong. I dont try and solve his problems because he never tells me them or if he needs help. I care about him a lot and am worried about him.
It can take a man DAYS or sometimes a week or two to get past things and get out of their "mood". It's totally normal and natural.
If you truly had something to worry about, like serious depression or thoughts of suicide, that girl would have let you know.

Site Purpose
South Park. Just saying the word evokes a plethora of different emotions from people. Why? Because it possesses the unique and raw satirical power to simultaneously offend and amuse people.
The balance between being sued and threatened and being praised and successful is a delicate one, but Matt Stone and Trey Parker do it extremely well, and have done so since 1997.
This blog is dedicated to the American principle of free speech that South Park so perfectly embodies. My name is Gerald Bourguet, and I will be breaking down new episodes of South Park for your understanding and amusement.

A potential roadblock came in passing the budget cuts suggested by Secretary Chuck Hagel when Senator Claire McCaskill joined forces with her Republican colleague Senator Roy Blunt in sending a letter to President Obama expressing worries about some of the key components of the Pentagon's plan to cut the military. McCaskill is worried about taking Apache operations away from the National Guard as well as the effects the cuts will have on Missouri's bases and A-10 squadrons. McCaskill is a crucial vote, given her position on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Looking beyond America's post-9/11 wars, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel proposed on Monday shrinking the Army to its smallest size in 74 years, closing bases and reshaping forces to confront a "more volatile, more unpredictable" world with a more nimble military.
The nation can afford a smaller military so long as it retains a technological edge and the agility to respond on short notice to crises anywhere on the globe, Hagel said. He said the priorities he outlined reflect a consensus view among America's military leaders, but Republicans in Congress were quick to criticize some proposed changes.
In a speech at the one-year mark of his tenure as Pentagon chief, Hagel revealed many details of the defense spending plan that will be part of the 2015 budget that President Barack Obama will submit to Congress next week. Hagel described it as the first Pentagon budget to fully reflect the nation's transition from 13 years of war.
At the core of his plan is the notion that after wars in Iraq and Afghanistan that proved longer and more costly than foreseen, the U.S. military will no longer be sized to conduct large and protracted ground wars. It will put more emphasis on versatile, agile forces that can project power over great distances, including in Asia.

Raman spectroscopy provides a method to study many chemical bonds but it is particularly sensitive to the study of both homonuclear bonds and backbone vibrations. This sensitivity is especially useful for the study of monomers and polymers.
Monitoring for:
- Chemical Composition
- Control of Polymerization Reactions
- Block and Co-polymer Formation
Raman microscopy or in situ Raman may be used to evaluate and control the level of crystallinity in a polymer during processes, or identify different phases within a polymer blend. Physical properties including density can, in some cases, also be predicted during manufacturing.
In situ measurement is possible using Kaiser's comprehensive range of sampling interfaces.
- Polymerization (extent and chemical ID)
- Film or Fiber Crystallinity
- Cross-linking (degree of)
- Hydrogenation (extent, end-point)
- Extrusion ("in die" extrusion measurements with high pressure probe)
- Blending
Contact a Kaiser Expert to discuss your applications needs.
Further information on polymers and Raman applications can be found in Handbook of Raman Spectroscopy: From Laboratory to Process Line by Ian R. Lewis and Howell G. M. Edwards, Marcel Dekker, New York, New York (2001)

First time I've attempted a large scale graphite portrait, or anything…I'm a little discouraged…probably because I became impatient once I finished the clothing, and rushed the face too much. Here's my 2 stages I took photos at, and I'll probably be working on this more or even starting it over again. I wasn't too thrilled with the outcome.
Anyways, here's my attempts.
This is 18″x24″, graphite on strathmore 400 drawing paper

"We Saw Mockingjay Part 1!"
Miss Episode 136 live on Monday night? Click here to listen to the recording OR simply use the embedded player below!
It's hard to believe, but we are now THREE movies through the Hunger Games franchise, with just one more to go. It seems like the first movie was just yesterday, and now we're down to the final year. The good news? Mockingjay Part 1 seems to be beloved by fans, and while maybe the critics weren't all on board, the fans are what we care most about, right?

This week, our panel of experts will include Theresa and Ellie from Down with the Capitol, Kait from Victor's Village, Crystal from Jabberjays.net, Tiffany Glass from Mockingjay.net, Ariel from Nerdy, Wordy, and Over Thirty, Kate from Hunger Games Trilogy Fansite, Molly from Panem Propaganda, Tori and Tony from THG Australia, and Jessi and Natasha from TheFandom.net.
Halfway through the show, we'll be joined by Phil Wallace and Kit Bowen, both of screenpicks.com, to provide some valuable industry perspective.
What are we going to talk about? The movie OF COURSE! We'll share our thoughts on how true to the text it was, on the acting, on the directing, on the cinematography, and on anything else we can possibly discuss. We'll also talk about the box office performance, which has been below the first two films but still nothing to be ashamed of.
WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE MOVIE?? Share it all in the comments and we will read off your opinions during the episode!

I loved MOCKINGJAY part 1 , the movie was brilliant and I'm glad they split it into two movies. My favorite part is the powerful Scene at the end with Peeta writhing in the hospital bed Josh Hutcherson is so talented
Took my dad to a showing on Thursday and to my surprise he REALLY liked it (he's only read the first book). This movie was pure emotion. I feel like the movie was for the fans and NOT the casual viewer. It had its action parts but it's the build up to the next film that I liked. My heart was broken from the very first scene of Katniss trying to hide and be by herself to the very last scene of Peeta going crazy.
My only gripe is that they spliced Finnick's scene with the rescue mission. They had already cut down his character already and then when they started to build up the big scene of his heartbreaking confession they drew the focus away from him and onto the rescue mission. The rescue was really intense and cool, but I feel like it completely diminished everything Finnick was saying. In fact I think if you don't know the books then you would have been inclined to totally ignore his speech! That part in the book really put into perspective how disgusting The Capital really is. It should have gotten the full attention it deserved.
But other than that one of the best movies I've seen all year.
I totally agree! While I liked seeing the rescue I feel like they should have put a more emphasis on the stories being told because you really have no idea what he was saying except for a few snippets every now and then during the rescue
They did draw the focus away up to a point, but I disagree that we had no idea what he was saying. They kept everything we hear him say in the books, which is comprised of all the most important things he says, and we are just to imagine he said some more in the moments when they were showing the rescue – which is no different from the book, where Katniss just mentions that Finnick talked about the secrets of various people in Capitol.
A character they really cut down is Haymitch. He's been pretty much a charming gruff comic relief. We didn't get to learn about his games in Catching Fire, and we didn't get to learn what Snow did to him after the games in Mockingjay. I wish they had kept the conversation between him and Katniss after Finnick's confession.
Many people that I have talked to about the movie felt the movie was a little boring but I feel like this is my favorite of the three. I just really liked the way Francis Lawrence and his team really intertwined the promos that Katniss shot with the rebellion. When the rebels began to sing the song "The Hanging Tree" was just an incredible things to watch. It brought a lot of emotion to the scene that we never really got with the book. I think one thing that the movie was able to really show more than the books were was the effect Katniss really had on the people of the districts and I feel Francis Lawrence did a phenomenal job in showing the effect she really did have.
Sadly, I will not be listening tonight, but I will be listening later to the recording! I am going to see Mockingjay Again tonight!!! I loved Mockingjay. Francis did amazing things with this movie, he added in and created scenes and moments I was dying to read when I first read the book. He brought the emotion so well, and can we discuss how Josh just deserves all of the awards for his Hijacked Peeta performance? I loved seeing the rescue mission and the overcast of Finnicks confession. I love the scenes between Gale and Katniss , and Gales almost giving up tone.
My favorite scene however, was The Hanging Tree scene. When they transitioned to the District 5 scene and they continued singing The Hanging Tree and my entire theater sang, I do mean the entire theater. It was one of the most powerful moments of my entire life. The whole Movie Marathon experience was amazing and beautiful!!! Have a great show tonight guys!!!
I actually enjoyed this movie the best out of all the adaptations. The world-building was better than THG, but the mood was much more serious and introspective than CF, which had more of a commercial action movie vibe.
I think they expanded the POV beyond Katniss just enough, showing the actual impact of her words on the people in the Districts. I am still humming The Hanging Tree to myself, and I think the best added scene was the D5 dam, in which D5 citizens are shown essentially marching to their deaths while singing the song, yet manage to score a decisive victory for the rebels by knocking out Capitol power, was one of the more epic scenes. Hopefully the real meaning of the song was apparent to the movie-only fans. Yet, the amount of carnage did also have me wondering "was it worth it".
To me, the most interesting change the movie made from the book, is the expansion of President Coin's character, and the way that, at least in Part 1, they presented her as a foil not to Snow, but to Katniss herself! Even Coin herself seemed to realize this when she talks about "people like us" as she actually reaches out to Katniss while waiting for news on Peeta.
It was interesting how in her first, brief speech, Coin is seen to be reading from hand-written notes that look pretty similar to the ones Katniss used to list her demands. As the movie goes on, Coin's speeches become more flowery and propagandish, and it's obvious Plutarch had a hand in the latter speeches.
Another similarity is how both Katniss and Coin are more comfortable "in the field"; Coin is shown as an able military commander in the bunker scenes when the Capitol attacks D13, while Plutarch is obviously scared out of mind to be involved in a real war situation, despite his Game-maker background.
Of course, the challenge will be, how to make Coin's transformation in Part 2 believable. There is a risk of making her too likeable and having Katniss' later actions appear too extreme.
I also am happy that Part 1 did NOT abruptly cut off the movie right after Peeta attacks Katniss, as I had feared. I think the contrast in the end between Coin's victory speech and the defeated look on Katniss's face was great. Now, while I thought the strangulation scene was done well, I found "crazy Peeta thrashing around" at the end to be a little over-the-top at first, UNTIL he finally tires of fighting his restraints and then we see how lost and scared he must be under it all. Looking forward to Part 2!
(Shhh, don't tell anyone but…) I actually haven't seen Mockingjay yet. GASP. WHAT? How can this be? Well I was on vacation until last night and– yeah not important.
But from what I've seen in the trailers and by what the LA Times has published, I'm looking forward to it. It doesn't seem like it'll be as exciting as Catching Fire, but, come on. Name one other movie that has been as exciting as Catching Fire. I wasn't a big fan of the split initially, (Why not split the second book? So much more happens! Why split Mockingjay?) and the reviews I've read don't seem to like it much either, but hey. More movies=more movies, right?
I'm definitively looking forward to seeing the movie this Saturday and to hearing "The Hanging Tree." It won't be Sam Cushion, (insert crying emoticon here) but it sounds like it'll be great.
Mockingjay was always the only book in the trilogy that could and that should be split. Much more happens in Mockingjay than in either THG or Catching Fire on their own, and there's an easy and natural way to split it and get two good movies out of it. If they had made one movie out of Mockingjay, it would have to be over 4 hours long in order to cover everything. Which would be a commercial suicide for Lionsgate.
Catching Fire would be impossible to split. The first part of the book is the setup for the Quarter Quell and the rebellion; the second part is the payoff. If you made a movie just out of the first part, it would be a bad movie with all setup and no payoff, and it would also be widely disliked by everyone except the hardcore book fans and panned as boring and drawn out without anything happening, since it would only consist of the Victory Tour, the love triangle stuff, some talk about rebellion, and only a couple of relatively bigger events, none of them climactic – the District 11 and the whipping. Have they made it, it would have hurt the franchise a lot. And then the next Catching Fire movie would have been all action with no setup and no emotional relevance except for those who remember the previous movie perfectly. Followed by a rushed and bad Mockingjay movie with lots of action scenes and no character development or world-building, since they would have to cut out almost all of it to make room for everything that happens.
I thought that movie was very well done! I loved it, the second the Lionsgate clouds came on I cried. I loved Jen singing The Hanging Tree it was amazing my whole theater sung along it was so beautiful and awesome I cried so hard because it was right when D5 started to sing than the whole theater did right than and it was powerful! And don't even get me started on Peeta! First I cried little bits when he came on but than when he was rescued and at the end when he was Thrashing around in the bed broke me. I cried all night. I loved and hated that it ended like that I love it because that is what the fandom kind of wanted was a huge cliff hanger like that but I just can't wait a whole year for the next part!
I'm also going to ad that I know a lot of people didn't like it because it was 'drug out' and all I can say to that is no it wasn't! There was so much action such going on it was like a new excitement EVERY scene! I Had to grip tight to my poor dear friends hand most the movie! And I just can say this enough. The Hanging Tree. Best Scene EVER! And just the whole theater it was amazing! I saw Annie posted the same thing about the theater singing along and I think it's cool because we are really good friends and we live in two different states yet it happen to both our theaters!!
Omg omg how amazing was Mockingjay part 1? Totally amazing emotionally wrecking and just perfect. Loved loved loved the scenes where the districts start to rebel, I love Finnick's propo, and omg oh Peeta I just burst into tears and sobbed in the movie my best friend was looking at me like a was a freak she's one of those people that don't read the books just watches the movies no matter how many times i have told her to read them le sigh. The thing I loved the most was " the hanging tree" it was beautiful and oh so relevant at the time I just thought they popped it into the district 12 propo just to get Peeta's attention so he could see what happened at home bit I loved that the film makers used it to describe katniss' and peeta's situation…he manages to break through back to himself at that line " a dead man called out for his love to flee" and " I told you to run so we'd both be free" those two lines were so powerful. But the song is so hauntingly beautiful in its right its night to have a melody to go with the words. I sing it to my kids apparantly even though its has questionable words for young kids it apparantly makes a good lullaby hahaha who knew. God I think I'm going to die waiting for the last part though I don't know if I will be able to handle it so many of my favourite people die.
