Your choice. But literally the first 4 on that lists are points I made about Tris and Four. I want them to be together too, don't get me wrong, but it would never last with how un-stable(do you like this option better) their relationship was.


Bookloverhugger aka:Rebecca | 155 comments Yes, i like that much better and lets just forget this because i really have no idea where we're going with this

What does everyone think of the first look of Mockingjay?


Bookloverhugger aka:Rebecca | 155 comments as in the cover?

And photos of Julianne Moore and everything? I also found some photos of what appears to be them filming the scenes in the capitol.

The stills of JMoore are out, as well as the logo on fire, but that is nothing too exciting... They are all calling the photos of JMoore the "first look" though!

Ria | 41 comments so many bts photos! it looks good so far, I reckon the director will do a great job since he did CF, I heard peeta isn't in the movie much for the first part :(

I'm so looking forward to finnicks scene, if you guys know what I mean ;) hahahaha


message 61: by Dana, SuperMod (new)

Dana Burkey (danaburkey) | 1690 comments Mod
Yeah, I don't think we will see much of Peeta at all in the first one...and that makes me SAD!! But, it will be better that way....I might cry a little less!! ;)

Wait...what Finnick scene do you mean?


message 62: by Dylan (new)

Dylan Alexander (dylanjalexander) | 45 comments Probably the one when he walks around in his underwear! And apparently we will be seeing quite a lot of Peeta in the Capitol! That makes me scared!!


message 63: by Dana, SuperMod (new)

Dana Burkey (danaburkey) | 1690 comments Mod
Oh....well then... I kind of remember it now, but clearly did not focus all too much on that part considering all the other things going on...haha!

Yeah, any of the stuff with Peeta being tortured and when he comes back all damaged is going to make me a total wreck!!


message 64: by Ria (new)

Ria | 41 comments yeaj that scene! so cheeky haha, really? I'm really dreading it all, especially in the beginning where katniss finds Octavia? (I think) and the rest of the stylists in a pee smelling cell


message 65: by Dana, SuperMod (new)

Dana Burkey (danaburkey) | 1690 comments Mod
Oh no! I forgot about everything with the stylists... that would be a part I would be more than happy to have them cut out!!!!!! :/


message 66: by Ria (new)

Ria | 41 comments Me too but I hope they keep it in to make the movie more dramatic!! So many deaths in MJ idk how I'm going to survive it (visually)


message 67: by Dana, SuperMod (new)

Dana Burkey (danaburkey) | 1690 comments Mod
Exactly!! I cried the ENTIRE book when I re-read it a few months ago..... And then I walked around with this heaviness for a few days.... No other book has ever effected me quite like HG! Everything is just so real and raw and emotional!!! I am for sure bringing a BIG box of tissues with me to the theater for both parts of MJ!


message 68: by Ria (new)

Ria | 41 comments Agreed! The events seemed so realistic when I read it, I cried so much after finishing it. I didn't realised how invested I was in the characters! I really wish some of the characters didn't die ): I wonder if Finnick knew that he was going to be a father..


message 69: by Dylan (new)

Dylan Alexander (dylanjalexander) | 45 comments I NEED a trailer now! I mean the stills were nice but we NEED a trailer!! Like now!


message 70: by Dana, SuperMod (new)

Dana Burkey (danaburkey) | 1690 comments Mod
When I saw the post go up a few days ago about the new stills I was freaking out thinking it WAS the trailer.... I was mad!! Although, I know once I see it I will be a hot mess for a while!! I still remember watching the HG trailer for the first time when the little trailer came out and I was crying as soon as I heard the whistle!!! Thankfully I have other movies come out between now and then to look forward to so I am not a total psycho!! haha


message 71: by Dylan (new)

Dylan Alexander (dylanjalexander) | 45 comments Me too!!! It said "first look" and I went crazy (like dropping the glass I was quickly drinking out of crazy). I honestly thought they gave us a trailer. I went onto to the website (which took forever to load) clicked on first look. And all it was was a stills and GIF of Pres. Coin stepping towards a microphone! I was SOOO mad!! They gave me hope and then they crushed it!! I was dying...


message 72: by Dana, SuperMod (new)

Dana Burkey (danaburkey) | 1690 comments Mod
:( Well, hopefully since they put that out they are going to at least put out a teaser trailer soon!! I would settle for anything at this point! Well...anything but the pin rotating and being on fire and all that... we pretty much saw that at the end of the last movie! UGH!


Bookloverhugger aka:Rebecca | 155 comments I know i will cry when they abandon finnick and when prim dies-It makes me sooo sad


message 74: by Dana, SuperMod (new)

Dana Burkey (danaburkey) | 1690 comments Mod
I don't know if I would quite call it abandoning him since he told them to keep going and all that....but yes, that part is going to leave no dry eye in the whole place!!!!!!!!


Bookloverhugger aka:Rebecca | 155 comments but they left after everything he did for them!!!


message 76: by Dana, SuperMod (new)

Dana Burkey (danaburkey) | 1690 comments Mod
True, but he was doing everything for them to keep going. If they stopped and helped him they would have died too, and then his death would have been for nothing... I wish there was a way for him to make it, but at the same time, in a book like there is there is a LOT of death, and it makes it believable. When there is something this intense going on, for no one to die and everyone to walk away happy and healthy and normal would be unrealistic... I just wish they could have killed the people we didn't like quite so much!! :(


message 77: by Dylan (new)

Dylan Alexander (dylanjalexander) | 45 comments That's why I really liked Mockingjay because it has a sense of realism to it. Finnick's death was really quick. I think it is going to be a lot more emotional in the movie.


message 78: by Dana, SuperMod (new)

Dana Burkey (danaburkey) | 1690 comments Mod
Oh yes! His and so many others! I feel like with all the deaths and everything going on, it makes so much sense for it to be 2 movies! It would feel like an emotional marathon if it was all one! Just death and sadness right after the other! Not that this way I will cry less or feel less empty leaving the theater! haha

Rachel I really wonder when they are going to released the trailer. They usually love to plug the trailer into one of the hype movies that is part of the YA world. Divergent would have been perfect because people kept on comparing the series to The Hunger Games.

All I know is I have a feeling part 1 of the movie is going to be terrible. The first part of the book was so slow.


message 80: by Dana, SuperMod (new)

Dana Burkey (danaburkey) | 1690 comments Mod
I agree that the first part was rather slow. I almost worry they are going to fill it by showing what Peeta is going through as well....and then I will die inside....forever..... UGH!


Bookloverhugger aka:Rebecca | 155 comments same!!!

i cant wait to see the epilogue on the big screen though!


message 82: by Louisa (new)

Louisa Knight | 156 comments I can't wait to see mockingjay! I just hope they don't ruin it- I'm sure they won't ;)


Bookloverhugger aka:Rebecca | 155 comments Yeah, I hate when they make a mess of a movie that was a good book


message 84: by Louisa (new)

Louisa Knight | 156 comments Don't we all! I know it would be hard but I wish that in films they were able to put in all the detail that the books have- but then the film would be never ending!


Bookloverhugger aka:Rebecca | 155 comments i wouldnt mind a never ending film of a book....


message 86: by Louisa (new)

Louisa Knight | 156 comments Haha, that is very true! Point made :)


Bookloverhugger aka:Rebecca | 155 comments haha yeah! :D


message 88: by Ria (new)

Ria | 41 comments I just remembered this part from the book that I hope they add in the movie. The "Real or not real" scenes.

"You love me, real or not real?"
"Real."

*sobs in the cinemas* hahahaha


message 89: by Sam (new)

Sam | 606 comments Total agreement with u Maria! Loved that game they play at the end of the book!

Have you guys seen the new "teaser trailer?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dCB2...


Bookloverhugger aka:Rebecca | 155 comments i didnt get the video. but hey i still need to watch Catching Fire.
who was it that died during the filming of Mockingjay? they had to be replaced....


message 95: by Dylan (new)

Dylan Alexander (dylanjalexander) | 45 comments Yeah!!


Bookloverhugger aka:Rebecca | 155 comments yeah to what now?


message 97: by Dylan (new)

Dylan Alexander (dylanjalexander) | 45 comments No I was replying to Dana's comment!


message 98: by Dylan (new)

Dylan Alexander (dylanjalexander) | 45 comments Philip Seymour Hoffman (Plutarch Heavensbee) died! But they didn't recast his character because he was almost finished filming!


message 99: by Dana, SuperMod (new)

Dana Burkey (danaburkey) | 1690 comments Mod
It was the actor that plays Plutarch. I heard they were almost done with all his scenes, so they were just going to re-write some of them for other people and do the best they could after that...

I feel like this "trailer" does not really give us much, but I am excited to anything at this point!! I really REALLY want the official trailers to come out!!! I feel like they were out already for Catching Fire this time last year....


Bookloverhugger aka:Rebecca | 155 comments !!!!!!! ;D
