The Hunger Games Teaser Does Its Job - It Teases

I should really get off my ass and read The Hunger Games. Had a paperback copy collecting dust (and coffee stains, taco wrappers and Lotto tickets) in my car for awhile now and been swearing that I'd give it my time. Knowing my lazy-ass I'll get around to it like I do the video games I buy, i.e. just now starting to play Super Mario Galaxy 2, which I bought when it was first released. In June of 2010.

But I digress, it was the MTV Video Music Awards last night and one of the high-lights (at least, the pre-airdate hype) was the network giving viewers a first glimpse at the Gary Ross-directed, Billy Ray-adapted and Jennifer Lawrence-starring film. Since they have shitty embeds, you can follow this link to their official-site with the footage and/or check out all one minute, fourteen seconds (with Lawrence intro!) below.

I've heard complaints from some about how all it does is tease. Well...the thing is, that's the point of a teaser trailer. It's supposed to do that. The question is did it do a good job and create a desire for you to see more?

Me personally? Not so much, if you want my honest-to-God opinion. But we have awhile to go before The Hunger Games drops next March.
