[Books/Movies/Fandom] The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
So, apparently I never talked about these books when I read them. Which isn't all that surprising, actually. I haven't made it a secret that I was... slightly disappointed in these books.
But let me talk about why.

As for the casting, I don't know, Josh Hutcherson will be all right, I think. He's got that nice boy, good kid vibe that Peeta needs. What's in question for me, I guess, is whether he can pull off the charismatic manipulation thing Peeta does (for a nice boy!). I don't know enough about the actor who plays Gale, but he's very... big. Isn't he? I mean, muscly for a guy who supposedly grew up in an impoverished District. :/ I always pictured the type of muscle Gale and Katniss to put on doing what they do as a leaner, sinewy type of muscle. That dude looks like a body builder. Or at least... way too tall and... big.
Lenny Kravtiz as Cinna, though, I am with you there. :D Yay!
I haven't seen any pictures of the Capitol residents! D: Let me guess, they're not nearly as bizarre as they should be, are they? When this is one of the most visual parts of the series; the bizarreness of the Capitol citizens serves as a very visual and immediate signal to the reader/viewer that these people are different from Katniss and Peeta.
Well, tell me a few things you'd like my thoughts on, and I can certainly provide them if I have them. ^_^ You might even make me think about things I haven't before. I have a tendency to not think about the same things other people think about when they're reading books (like the POV and tense... seriously, that was the majority of what I thought about while reading, and why it bothers me so much... it consistently threw me out of the story).

And here is what I thought after finishing the books, if you're interested. :)
