Hunger Games Movie

[Emily]

Comments on the Movie?

[Beth]

I'm excited but highly skeptical

[Leah]

I think that it will be good...no, great. However, being the detail-freak person I am, (ha ha :)) I noticed several small changes the directors made. For instance, Katniss's backpack is supposed to be orange, not black. She made a big deal about the fact that it was orange. Also, Madge gave the Mockingjay pin to Katniss, not Prim. So many little changes...it may drive me crazy. :)

[Beth]

OMG the pin thing was the first thing i noticed in the trailer and its been seriously bugging me. Glad someone is as picky as me

[Emily]

I know! It totally takes Madge(Katniss's one friend aside from Gale)

[Emily]

Plus Peeta does not look like that. And Katniss is not that pretty

[Beth]

Is Madge even in it at all?

i think JHutch will do well as Peeta and so will Jen Lawrence but i agree thats not what i pictured.

[Emily]

I know right! Madge's pin was so significant. Honestly I am wondering if the movie will be any good

Iknow!!!!!! Every time I mention the fact that Peeta doesn't look like he should, the person I'm talking to looks at me like I'm crazy or something. :)

[Leah]

He's supposed to have waves over his forehead, and I definitely pictured him looking younger...even if he is 16.

[Emily]

I know! His hair doesn't stick up. His eyes are not so creepily bright. He is younger and his hair is a darker! (Don't worry people look at me like I'm crazy 2

[Beth]

i think josh hutcherson is good for the part. Just sayin'

[Emily]

Its okay. We all have our own opinions. I didn't think Effie had red eyes honestly

[Leah]

I think Josh Hutcherson is good for the part. The hair issue is just my inner detail freak making its appearance. :)

[Emily]

Agreed. I am sort of wondering about the Katniss look though

[Leah]

Same here

[Emily]

She needs scars, scratches, and not completely perfect polished hair and body. She looks really fake right now

[Leah]

Well, I guess this is about what we can expect from Hollywood. Let's just hope the book isn't ruined.

[Emily]

I know right? But I am just hoping that everything isn't changed. I am still upset about Prim giving her the pin and not Madge

[Leah]

Me too.

[Emily]

I just hope that not much else is changed, I am actually sort of scared for the part when the mutts of the tributes come out

[Leah]

Yes, I absolutely HATE movies with violence/blood/gore. Maybe THG isn't focusing on that.

[Emily]

hopefully

[Hilton]

I'm glad there wasn't a physical depiction that wasn't in fast forward.

[Emily]

agreed

[Leah]

Yup
