It would be interesting to put all of these people

Could we have been more excited for Tuesday night's big New York screening of "The Hunger Games?" We don't think so. We burberry handbags caught on to Suzanne Collins's young adult novels pretty early, joined a young-adult book club because of them and sent Mockingjay pins to several of our equally "Hunger Games"-obsessed friends. OK, so we're not quite at super-fan level—like we wouldn't wait 24 hours outside Barnes & Noble to catch a glance of the chick who plays Prue—but there's an intensity there.

We spent last week reading the fanzines, the weekend watching "Game of Thrones" (because that seemed a good way to stave off "Hunger" pains) and Monday night researching movie merchandise we might want to buy. All we found was a Katniss Everdeen/Jennifer Lawrence pillowcase, but why would we want to go to sleep thinking about kids killing other kids with hunting knives? What? Lionsgate had a marketing problem with this movie?

The crowd at the screening on Tuesday at the School of Visual Arts—sponsored by Calvin Klein and the Cinema Society—could not have been more random. Sure, Gary Ross, the director, was there, along with Ms. Lawrence and her two burberry shirts for women cheap main co-stars: the pocket-sized Josh Hutcherson (who plays love interest No. 1: the baker, Peeta; in real life, Mr. Hutcherson told People magazine he likes to make cake pops) and Liam Hemsworth (who plays love interest No. 2: the hunter, Gale; in real life, Mr. Hemsworth dates Miley Cyrus). Apparently, Mr. Hemsworth also answers to "Handsome," because that's what the photographers called him outside the movie theater.

Apparently this movie has a varied, mass appeal, at least based on some of the other people we saw with reserved seats. They included Tony Danza, Gina Gershon, Rob and Marisol Thomas, the crooner Patti Smith, Mayor Cory Booker, the fashion designer Christian Siriano, Mélanie Laurent from "Beginners," the ice-hockey player Brad Richards, Carson Kressley, Fred Schneider of the B-52s and the former Real Housewife of New York Kelly Bensimon. It would be interesting to put all of these people in an "American Gladiator" like-arena and see who might be left standing. We'd bet on Mayor Booker and the guy from the B-52s.

We would not want to spoil the experience of seeing Mr. Ross's movie for you, but suffice it to say it adheres very closely to the book. Ray ban sunglasses, cheap gucci sunglasses, burberry sunglasses sale. We did leave wondering a) whether Ms. Collins meant to create not a parable about the effects of totalitarian government and violence in the media, but rather one about the pressures facing kids today and b) why this movie cost so much to make (a reported $80 million) if a large chunk of it was shot on handheld in a generic forest.

In any event, after a delayed start time and a two-and-a-half hour running time, the aforementioned guests met up at the Top of the Standard to participate in their own version of the Hunger Games, i.e. finding something to eat. (We knew they'd be skimpy on the hors d'oeuvres so we ate before. Think we'd do our district proud?)

"You're Clove, aren't you?" said Serena Miniter burberry ties (daughter of Gillian) as she approached the 15-year-old actress Isabelle Fuhrman who plays a "tribute" from District 2 who Katniss must murder to survive. (Each of the newcomers in the movie were heralded like the second coming on social media this last year; blink as you watch the film and you'll probably miss them.) Going up the elevator at the Standard, Ms. Fuhrman said that dying on screen "is kind of cool, but I wonder what my mother thinks. She must think it's boring. She's seen it three times." We were half-expecting, half-hoping that the scene at the after-party would be something out of the Capitol, the totalitarian government that oversees and produces the Hunger Games. As Mr. Ross has envisioned it, people wear tacky outfits, have fluorescent hair and wear lots of gold eyeshadow. It's like a PG-13 version of Leigh Bowery. But sadly there were no girls with dresses on-fire, no waitresses with Kabuki makeup, no men with the strange kind of facial hair Wes Bentley as Seneca, the game master, sports in the movie. It was just the Top of the Standard, like any other night.

There were, sadly, not cheap burberry shirts for women even cupcakes decorated with Mockingjays or any Eleni's cookies around. To celebrate "The Hunger Games," the cookie-maker designed an imaginatively themed cookie-box featuring 16 cookies in the likenesses of, among other things, Katniss and her "girl on fire" costume. Lionsgate, fiercely protective of its new movie as a totalitarian government like the Capitol might be, asked Eleni's to remove the cookies from its website. (They are still available via extra-special order.)

As the party devolved into, well, your everyday run-of-the-mill movie after-party, we thought back to what Patti Smith had remarked at the screening. "Of course I haven't read the books," she said. "But I'm one of America's youth. I have burberry sunglasses 2012 to see what everyone else is talking about. Plus, I'm a real sucker for a girl with a bow and arrow."
