I didn't watch any of the movies, except for about 10 minutes of the first one.  Guess I wasn't in the mood or something, but it didn't grab my attention.

I mainly wanted to see the arrogant people in power blown up or something.  Did anything like that ever happen?

Have you ever had the music of a song pop in your head, yet you can't remember the artist nor any of the lyrics, and it ends up driving you crazy trying to remember even one word of the song that just might eventually lead you to the rest of the lyrics and finally the artist, so the tune itself will stop playing in your head?  I'm going through that right now.  scared
