this bts footage makes me more excited for the movie than the movie footage itself! (because we still haven't seen scenes from the games theselves, can't wait for thatbuzz:

If i remember well, the participants start in a circle around the cornucopia and run to it. If the cornucopia is like that and has only one entrance, then the 30% of the players have an advantage regarding the others.

That is how it was described in the book though, at least how I perceived it. It always annoyed me thinking about that. Some people would have to run around the outside to get to it. My main issue with it is that it isn't gold and woven. That looks like it would be really hard to climb for the climax when they are running from the mutts.

Okay so this might sound dumb but I've been seeing posts floating around the internet about Cinna's sexuality, like if he's gay or not. So I'm sort of curious, when you read the books did you think Cinna was straight, gay, bi, or did it never cross your mind? I think part of the reason why people assumed his character was gay was because he's a fashion designer, which is a stereotype for the most part. When I read the books the thought never crossed my mind, I honestly never thought about what his sexuality was, but apparently lot's of other people did. So now I'm wondering did I miss something or are people overreacting?

I guess people are assuming. Cinna is a really popular character, but he is never fleshed out in the books. His only physical description is being young, having brown hair and wearing gold eyeliner. The only thing we know about him as a person was that he treated Katniss well, despite not having to, was really talented and

was part of the rebellion. Sexuality, or any aspect of his personal life, was never discussed.

So yeah, just last week I finished the series, loved the first two.

I was not happy with the ending at ALL. It all happened so fast, and not in a good way, she could've had at least 5 more chapters to finish, it was like she just wanted to finish the book.

But aside from that, the series was different, and pretty good. Hopefully it'll get the fame that Twilight/HP did. But it deserves it. These three, Jennifer, Lia, and Josh are going to be EVERYWHERE.

Does anyone else think that Evandro Soldati would be a good Finnick? I know Evandro isn't an actor, but that's the image that came to my head when they were explaining Finnick.

Here's Peeta's interview scene:

Any doubt I had in him as Peeta is gone. He delivered every line perfectly, just like I imagined it.
This movie truly looks like it's gonna be absolutely fantastic.

[valeryblack]

the interview is just ... WOW ...

However, after just finishing reading the third book I am still considering if I will go see the movies at all

 

[~Gia~]

I read on tumblr that today is the premiere, is there going to be a live-stream?

^Apparently I'm Choux Brambledeen (from district 10). I participated in the 37th hunger games and I died from a broken heart. Which is romantic...I guess.

 

[Aqua Tofana]

The interview is less dramatic without the other tributes being on stage.

 

[YoninahAliza]

Just a reminder there is a live stream on MTV of THG's red-carpet at the moment. Josh Horowitz is hosting... can't wait to see the interviews with the cast. http://www.mtv.com/videos/misc/747966/live-from-the-hunger-games-red-carpet-premiere.jhtml#id=1680845

i know! that's why i'm so pleased with it.

anyhow, here's an ONTD article with the reviews so far in one place.

 

[Alvedansen]

wow, it's getting really amazing reviews so far

(and i don't get the love for Cumbebatch - do i have to watch something with him to get it? because just from seeing pictures he is one of the ugliest guys i've ever seen but i'm willing to change my opinion)
