In a study released last month, researchers claimed people actually enjoy a story more if they've been given spoilers beforehand.

Here's a short first-glimpse of The Hunger Games, a clip which debuted during last night's candy-colored funeral for music, MTV's VMAs ceremony. It's brief, but exciting!
