I personally was pleasantly suprised when I saw it. I no longer have any doubts...The few things I disliked were:
1) how well fed everyone looked
2) District 12 looks too nice?
3) training center looks too hi-tech

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.

I know, that's where movies always crash. They make the characters all glamorous and what not.

Unfortunately.

Yes, it's too bad. I think the best book to movie is Harry Potter. End of story.

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.

Lauren Gibson (laurengibson) | 3009 comments Mod
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.

And Dumbledore's back story. Oh gosh. PJO was a horrible movie and a really funny book!

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?


message 12: by Lauren, Head Gamemaker (new)

Lauren Gibson (laurengibson) | 3009 comments Mod
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.


message 13: by LEX, I love PSYCH (new)

LEX (lydiapatch) | 1015 comments Mod
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?


message 14: by Lauren, Head Gamemaker (new)

Lauren Gibson (laurengibson) | 3009 comments Mod
I don't know. You can get a full cast list on Internet Movie Data Base (IMDB).


message 15: by LEX, I love PSYCH (new)

LEX (lydiapatch) | 1015 comments Mod
Oh ok thanks. I do think though Lenny Kravitz pulls off the whole Cinna look.


Nya Tomlinson-Horan-Malik-Payne-Styles i think it was pretty nice. i went to the set in north carolina where i live, and they were doing a good job. of course, i thought district 12 would be a little more gray, but they are using the actual wildlife, so it was going to be hard. but i liked it.

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.

yeah. You Lucky duck.


message 21: by [deleted user] (new)

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?!


message 23: by Lauren, Head Gamemaker (new)

Lauren Gibson (laurengibson) | 3009 comments Mod
AMEN AMEN AMEN ABOUT CINNA!


message 24: by LEX, I love PSYCH (new)

LEX (lydiapatch) | 1015 comments Mod
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.


message 25: by Lauren, Head Gamemaker (new)

Lauren Gibson (laurengibson) | 3009 comments Mod
Touche, Touche.


message 26: by [deleted user] (new)

That's very true. He'll just never be my Cinna.

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

So, how did you pronounce his name? Just curious.

C+ (how you say in)+a


message 31: by Lauren, Head Gamemaker (new)

Lauren Gibson (laurengibson) | 3009 comments Mod
So like "Cinnamon"?


message 32: by [deleted user] (new)

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


message 33: by Leah (new)

Leah (lepolk) | 159 comments That's how I've always pronounced it.

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! :)

Oh really? That's cool. Yes, very excellent points.


message 38: by Noah (new)

Noah Avrett | 1 comments in the book i thought that she had brown hair but she was a lot shorter than the person playing her...i thought that until i rembered that she was 16.....(reading the series for the 3rd time....)


message 39: by LiteraryMary95 (new)

LiteraryMary95 She is described more like me, actually exactly. The actor is like 22 or 23 anyway...akward...


ℂᖺαᖇᒪἷ℮ ⊰1017 &Tardis⊱ (charlie_awesome) | 2311 comments Mod
Yeah that is a little awkward. I thought she would be short- her growth stunted by starvation.


message 41: by LiteraryMary95 (new)

LiteraryMary95 Yeah...

I'm very short! I should be Katniss! hehehehe


message 45: by LiteraryMary95 (new)

LiteraryMary95 You don't seem too short.

I am 5'3" AND THREE QUARTERS but I am 14, and I have a really tall school.


message 47: by Lauren, Head Gamemaker (new)

Lauren Gibson (laurengibson) | 3009 comments Mod
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.

Hi Noah. Thanks for joining. I'm Lauren. (If I met you in person I'd shake your hand but for know we'll just stick with wordy introductions) I hope you enjoy the discussions.

I'm sure you'll grow more!
