Hunger Games Movie
>
What do you think of THE trailer?
I agree. They all looked VERY well fed. I think they forget the characters are half-starved to death, bloodied, dirty, etc in the arena. It's not a happy picnic full of showers, food, and no wounds.
I isn't..Becuse you have to understand that they ARE starving to death there..not like you said having picnics and such.
ha. I'm hoping THG movie will be awesome..And for Harry Potter, they messed up so much..I miss all of those jokes..and intracate parts they mmissed.
I mean, they did miss quite a few little stuff (like in the third they totally skipped the back story to Lupin and James little animagus stuff) but they stuck closer than say, Percy Jackson.
I know. Great book but horrible movie. I'm really excited for the movie.

I like the trailer... but just from watching that short clip I can already see a dozen things they messed up. Effies hair is pink. and im pretty sure she has eyebrows. Katniss has flippin' BLACK! NOT BROWN! BLACK!!!! hair in the book. Plus they didn't have the arena outfits right, and the training was wrong, and Katniss' jeweled dress from the interviews is wrong, and katniss' braid is supposed to go down her back, not to the side, and madge gives her the pin not prim... sorry i could go on forever. (i've read the books a LOT)
But i'm sure the movie will be fine anyways.
Oh and what is with Seneca Crane's beard?

I know, his beard is weird. I imagained him more clean shaven with high cheek bones (don't ask me why) My big beef with the movie is, hello, Cinna is NOT black. And if he is I am going to be a) mad because I missed yet another quite large detail b) disappointed because I totally imagined him white. Yes, they cut out Madge which I think is unfair. Madge isn't given much credit for sparking the flame of the rebellion.
Yeah i was kind of upset when i found out that madge would not be in the movie. I did really really like it though. Umm does anyone know if Greasy Sae isgoing to be in the movie?

Yeah in a different sort of way than I thought.

REALLY?! Cool! Yeah, it will be definitely interesting.

Oh wow you saw the set . I have never seen the set for any show before. I think it would be cool.
My complaints (beware, I have a lot)
Katniss’s hair is freaking black. NOT BROWN. BLACK. Page eight of The Hunger Games.
Katniss’s interview dress looks like a red tarp. I’m sorry, isn’t it supposed to be jeweled? And flowing, and heavy? Not a tight little wraparound thing with a bow to make it look nice.
MAH CINNA IS NOT BLACK. Sorry. I have nothing against black people, but Cinna is not black. Lenny Kravitz is not Cinna. (continues ranting for several hours)
Madge gives her the pin. Not Prim. Madge.
Isn’t Jennifer Lawrence a bit…old to be playing across from Josh Hutcherson?
Except for Rue, none of the actors will ever be my mental characters. (although I’m willing to make a tiny exception for Cato ;))
The districts’ people are not well-fed movie stars. They are half-dead starving people that will do anything to survive.
Effie wears a spring green suit to the reaping, not a dress.
What is up with the fence around District Twelve? That’s not a fence, it’s a couple pieces of wire. I could hurdle over that thing. Where’s the twenty-foot-high monster that Katniss faces in Catching Fire?
I hated Liam Hemsworth in The Last Song.
Lenny Kravitz will never, ever, ever be my Cinna. I may have said that already.
The arena outfits are all wrong.
Where the heck is the Cornucopia?

Snickerdoodle, you just made my day. FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS! OMGosh, where have you been this this whole time?!
Haha i think that is all true but you know creative liscenses and such. And maybe they think it will make it more interesting somehow. Or maybe lenny kravitz was the best actor not the best looking guy for the part. I personally would rather have a dark skinned good actor as cinna than some light skinned horrible actor.
That's very true. He'll just never be my Cinna.

I totally understand. I feel the same way about Josh.

Yes. Exactly. My English teacher once read Julius Caesar to us and that's how she pronounced it, too.

Those are a lot of good points. I'm now scared for the movie.

Yeah, Snickerdoodle usually has pretty valid points...she was one of my first friends here on goodreads! :)

They never get the actors ages to match the characters they play. I'm 5'3. Been that way for 2 years. I think I've stopped growing.
