  • I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH PEETA TOO.  That poor short guy up against that big ol' beefy Mr.Miley is weird. 

    That said, I'm squeeing like a f*cking sixth-grader over this movie.  It's unreal.  I am not usually like this about movies.

    The good news is that the Hunger Games merchandisers don't have to do any scaling down to make the Pocket Peeta.

  • I almost always agree with EW's Lisa Schwarzbaum.  I lub her. 

    But Huff Post likes Peeta the best.  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/hunter-stuart/the-hunger-games-movie_b_1366123.html?ref=entertainment

    It's at 90% positive on Rotten Tomatoes.

  • I'm sorry you're stupid, Bethie.

    The kid playing Peeta just has a touch of doucheface.  I saw him in this turrible, turrible movie called Cirque de Freak: The Vampire's Assistant and he played this total assface friend.  He was perfect in that role.  

    It's possible that his acting skillz will outweigh his doucheface and I will feel all sympathetic for him and his undying love for Katniss.  But until I see the movie, I will continue to think NOT PEETA.

  • I keep staring at Effie Trinket and trying to find Elizabeth Banks and I just can't see her at all in that getup.

    Which is good, because I hate EB.

    Me too. I hope that can pull off that trick with Woody Harrelson, whom I detestdetest.

    I thought the exact same thing (minus the hating her part). I looks nothing like her.

    And I'm sitting on the "Peeta" is too short couch. HATE.

  • In the book you get the sense that the Games are being played in an arena that is completely artificial and manufactured. But here the filmmakers chose (and I'm not sure why -- maybe it was cheaper) to shoot the Games in a natural environment. Surprisingly, this only increases the horror of the televised bloodbath. There's something about the forest that's just creepier than anything we can make with our hands.

     

    Did anyone else get this impression? Because I didn't. I read it as the arena being manufactured by the game makers but still looking like a regular normal environment just with tricks built in.

  • I'm holding out that Josh is going to be an awesome Peeta.I think he's going to be sweet and lovable just like in the book, and I will be in love with him.

    Being a good douchebag in another movie means nothing! Look at Adam Scott - he was the EPITOME of a perfect douche in Step Brothers, and yet, he holds the very key to my heart, and plays the sexy elf king of Parks and Rec so well.

    That's the impression I got. I pictured Biodome, only with more blood and less Pauly Shore.

  • I didn't think it was an artificially manufactured arena for the first one (maybe for the second one).  I got the impression they just sort of take a section of land, close it off and set their traps and cameras.  I feel like Katniss even talks about where she thinks the area is in the book, but I read it a while ago and can't recall the details.

  • I thought that too, Cali. 

    I thought Peeta was good in the one clip they released where he revealed that he lurves Katniss on the TV. It gave me hope that I won't hate him for being an assface dwarf.

    For the record, the metaphor made me love you even moreeee.

     I can't WAIT to see this Friday.

    Ok well FIRST OFF, I'm judging you for even watching that Cirque movie to begin with! HAHA! JUDGED!

    I still think Gale needs to be hotter. Liam Hemsworth will forever be gross because he's Mr. Miley (and he had a penis cake at his birthday party, wuuut).

    I don't understand the EB hate! I think she's delightful on 30 Rock.

  • I pictured it to be biodome like, but that might have been due to later books where dome parts seemed to be used to the challengers advantage.

    Go break a story, Williams!!

     

    In my defense, I only watched the movie when it was on cable because John C. Reilly was in it and I had no inkling how horrible it was.  

    Why did Liam Hemsworth have a penis cake?  Does Miley have a penis?

  • I don't know, all I know is that there were pictures of Miley pretending to give it head. Gross.

  • Look, I'm no Miley fan, but if there's a penis cake in the room, I'd imagine it would be difficult not to interact with it.  If you see a ferocious bear statue, you mimic its pose.  If you find a big sombrero, you put it on.  If someone has an inflatable guitar, you do a little solo and some air kicks.  Some things are just instinctual.

  • I thought the arena in the first book was supposed to be pretty natural.  It's the second one that seemed bio-dome to me.  Perfectly circular lake with spoke-like land strips, and a pink sky? manufactured.  But there was nothing like that in the first arena.

  • From the Huffington Post link:   In the book, Katniss takes care of her entire family after her mom slipped into dementia when her father died in a horrific coal-mining disaster.

     

    Dementia?  I thought it was depression.
