They didn't explain how your name got in more than once so the 42 thing didn't make sense to her.
Also the sponsors thing was rendered pretty much pointless. All that effort for some balm that wasn't from a sponsor and some soup. Oh and saying most of them die from natural causes and then showing them all die from non natural causes was pointless too.

I'm pretty sure they don't stop "Titanic" to explain that the faults in the intermediate bulkhead design are what was responsible for rapid water ingress, either. It's a film. They expect people to be mentally strong enough to cope with it.
I agree about the sponsors but it doesn't cause any confusion in the plot so what's the issue? it's fiction. It isn't obliged to be explainable.

And I suspect is why there was a bow available in the arena at all.

Do you do this to every film you see?

whilst ignoring the elephant in the room of the whole thing, that being the big dog things. Presumbaly they are in the book, but it's still a rather epic inconsistency.

Direct intervention causing death. Surely, the tributes must kill each other or succumb to the environment. If rules permit the people outside can kill tributes on a whim, as they then do, what's the point of the game?

So its still the tributes fighting the others in a roundabout sort of way
In the film it makes no sense.

unless she actually said "Oh my gosh! They've got the same eyes as the tributes I already killed!"

It's fiction after all. From a conceptual point of view, a story about a game like that becomes weaker without relevant rules. Maybe that's just me.

Plus its not really a story about a game, its a story of control and rebellion.

there wouldn't be hope if it became obvious to the districts that there was cheating going on.

the lass had to get involved to use them as a weapon. That makes sense to me. The dogs are just the controllers picking off people, which seems to go against the point really.

one is mentioned that went mental and ate the heart of every victim but was killed by an avalanche that she thinks was started by the controllers to stop him winning.

but you're attacking this one for trivial and meaningless inconsistencies.

I said they didn't explain things properly. If they aren't going to explain why something is said, why have it in the film. It annoyed my wife because she was asking why they said things in the film and the answers were in the book.

I assume my mind just produced a plausible infill. I think the problem here is that your wife asks silly questions, not an issue with the film per se.

and the answer is in the book but not the film, perhaps they should just not have bothered to have the character say it.
