Google: Achieving Rapid Response Times in Large Online Services
"Today’s large-scale web services provide rapid responses to interactive requests by applying large amounts of computational resources to massive datasets. They typically operate in warehouse-sized datacenters and run on clusters of machines that are shared across many kinds of interactive and batch jobs. As these systems distribute work to ever larger numbers of machines and sub-systems in order to provide interactive response times, it becomes increasingly difficult to tightly control latency variability across these machines, and often the 95%ile and 99%ile response times suffer in an effort to improve average response times."

Review: 'The Hunger Games' finally hits theaters and, yes, LVWeekly is disappointed - Friday, March 23, 2012 | 6 p.m. - Las Vegas Sun
Battle Royale and its friends are the obvious comparisons. The comparison with Series 7: The Contenders is much more obscure but probably more accurate. It covers a lot of popular themes though so it's not surprising that there are lots of comparisons to make.
