Talk:Catching Fire

Reviews?
Has anyone found out more reviews? We only have one. THat part of the article really needs improvement. --Glimmer721 (talk) 21:55, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Inaccurate article
Should the Entertainment Weekly article really be quoted here? It doesn't seem like a very reliable source. Almost every commenter on that page agrees that the reviewer doesn't seem to have read the book. - 131.229.158.89 (talk) 03:48, 30 September 2010 (UTC)


 * I know. But it is reliable; it was in a magazine. It's just one opinion. -- Glimmer721  talk  00:28, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Romance novel
I think we should add the genre "Romance novel" to all HG books. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.88.4.33 (talk) 05:30, 7 July 2012 (UTC)


 * I disagree, while there is a love story in the books that is hardly the focus. Andrea  ( talk ) 15:11, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Movie
The movie needs it's own page already. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.255.163.32 (talk) 02:00, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Title of the Book
Is the title of the book a reference to the Gerard Manley Hopkins poem, 'As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame'? evin290 (talk) 21:39, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Human sacrifice
I'm sorry, I thought it was okay to freely add categories without citation, please correct me if I'm wrong. The category was "Sacrifice in human fiction" because the novel depicts children being sacrificed in an annual game show. If I must cite my addition, this is my source, I suppose.

 * WP:CATV specifies that categories must have both support in the article body as well as a reliable secondary source to back them up. Otherwise, how would future editors determine that they are supposed to be there? And the link you give is not a reliable secondary source, it's a wiki. Human sacrifice is, as the article states, typically offered to a deity. There is no mention of religion in the Hunger Games franchise, therefore I would say that we are not dealing with human sacrifice, strictly defined. Elizium23 (talk) 22:55, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
 * please let's not have this discussion in five different places? Elizium23 (talk) 23:02, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Sorry Ma nam is geoffrey (talk) 23:03, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, if human sacrifice is specifically offered to a deity for religious purposes, should the "Human sacrifice in fiction" category be removed from The Lottery too? There is no mention of religion in that story, either. Ma nam is geoffrey (talk) 23:09, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Probably, but what does that have to do with the Hunger Games? Elizium23 (talk) 23:10, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

Scipione Borghese
I cannot find anything online relating this novel to Scipione Borghese, an Italian aristocrat from the early 20th century, aside from this Wikipedia article, which says: ″It is cited as a retelling of Scipione Borghese, 10th Prince of Sulmona's second book from the early 20th century.″ I also found no mention of this name in Catching Fire itself. Either a citation should be added or this sentence should be removed. Louiseb133 (talk) 21:36, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
 * , I can confirm that this is a hoax; I reverted the IPv6 once when they added it to the film article, but I didn't catch the other revisions. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. Elizium23 (talk) 21:59, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
