Truly original ideas are copied by weak-minded people of lesser talent, what else is new?

Suzanne Collins doesn't live in those countries and her DVD player could not play those DVDs. And no sane person would inflict that pile of cr*p on themselves. That you seem to have watched the film, (highly doubtful-but you never know) says it all about your need to see a psychiatrist.

I am the Queen of Snark, "I Shine, Not Burn".

There is a name for that, it's called lying.
How is it lying when the release dates for all nations is before The Hunger Games came out? And why do release dates of different countries matter when it was on youtube, netflix, hulu, etc since day one?
Are you suggesting that Collins is too copy stuff from the internet?

It always helps to have the real release dates for the country you live in on hand. Luckily the IMDB has all of them.

It would seem in the 6/7 years since I first posted this for you to check out, you never bothered to read up on the garbage you post. Still living in that dream world, or maybe like Kelly Anne you simply prefer to spout 'Alternative Facts' that have nothing to do with the truth. There is a name for that, it's called lying. And try to live in the real world for a moment, 'Catching Fire' was published as a novel in 2009.

I am the Queen of Snark, "I Shine, Not Burn".

Makes you wonder at who was trying to rip off who.
Hint:
Battle Royale II: Requiem
release date:
2003
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay
release date:
2010

Yes, but you have to have heard about that work to try and steal it. With BR2 the movie it's director ripped off it from his father and was
never
released in the US. Now it was released after Catching Fire was released. A vain attempt to cash in on the much better THG novels and films than that pile of stinking excrement. Makes you wonder at who was trying to rip off who. THG novels certainly are very well known, only the poor BR trolls think they can say BR was well known while the rest of the world laughs at them.

I am the Queen of Snark, "I Shine, Not Burn".

And who in their right mind would think that anyone would want to plagiarize that pile of stinking manure BR 2
Probably someone who wanted to profit from stealing the work of others.
Hint: It's Suzanne Collins, the "writer" of the Hunger Games: Mockingjay.

And who in their right mind would think that anyone would want to plagiarize that pile of stinking manure BR 2, that wasn't even released in the US? Anyone who would think that would give a bad name to idiots.

I am the Queen of Snark, "I Shine, Not Burn".

If that's the case, then why is the only difference between BR2 and Mockingjay the main character's gender and the spoken language? (English, as opposed to Japanese) .

She didn't is the obvious answer. Just because a teeny,tiny bunch of idiots like to think that, doesn't make it so.

I am the Queen of Snark, "I Shine, Not Burn".

If that's the case, then why did Collins plagiarize both BATTLE ROYALE and BATTLE ROYALE 2, and then sign her own name to it as if it were her own original idea?

It helps when the film was never released in the author's/filmmaker's country. It's the old tree falling where no one heard it/saw it question. If no one heard the tree fallingdid it really exist in any meaningful way? Not really IMO. As far as Collins is concerned BR never existed.

What kind of filmmakers make remakes of a movie when the original came out two years ago and has been selling DVDs very well internationally?

Alas, cultural thievery seems to run strong in the West at times (e.g Elgin Marbles, the Wicca movement). Itd be interesting to know if its as prevalent in others places around the world, or just a Western phenomenon. Cultural thievery does nothing to edify the people who stole it (cause it proves that they cant or dont want to create genuine culture for themselves), and it does nothing to help the victims whom it was stolen from. Everyone loses out. Its a shame.

The Fappening was staged jointly by the publicity managers of the celebs leaked.

If you break it down to it's key elements and then some It is Battle Royale. People shouldn't be apologists for the body of work. it speaks for itself. The woman can craft and write all she wants, I won't knock that, but at the end of the day, it's still Battle Royale. Even Stephen King(who gave it a good review for the most part), called it out.
