Such as:

There is a new Made of Fail podcast up!

Foresthouse is in an American Gods contest, and if she can stay in the top 20 until May 2, those 20 entries will go to a panel to be chosen for a part in the audio book! You can vote for her here.

The Liz Miles LGBTQ-inclusive anthology that Saundra Mitchell was talking about (and is in) is now ( Read more... )

My best friend and I had such perfect dream-casting going for Hunger Games and now it's all falling apart. Why don't filmmakers listen to our opinions (you know, the opinions of college students)

I've liked Rue, Thresh and Effie so far. I like Jennifer Lawrence in general; I'm waiting to see what she looks like in costume, since I'm pretty sure she's not a natural blonde. (Of course, I had been rooting for Hailee Steinfeld, but what're you gonna do; they don't listen to bloggers, either.) I suspect that Cinna, Haymitch, and--later--Finnick are the characters that'll really make or break it for me at this point.

Yeah, I really like Rue and Thresh. I haven't seen Jennifer Lawrence in anything yet, although she's obviously very talented. (Hailee Steinfeld had been my pick too. It seemed almost like fate that she got big right when they started casting for this)

I had gone onto this weird casting binge where my bff and I were like "If they get Kristin Chennoweth for Effie, then they could get Lee Pace for Cinna! WE COULD EMPLOY EVERYONE ON PUSHING DAISIES SOMEHOW!" which is why I was hoping for KC. I actually really love Elizabeth Banks, but I keep thinking of her 30 Rock performance (which I also love) and I'm afraid she won't be as relentlessly cheerful as the part calls for.

But yeah, I think the Haymitch and Cinna casting will be what determine my excitement in the movie.

Yeah, I know a lot of people wanted Kristin Chenoweth--I think she was kind of the Platonic ideal. I really can't imagine anyone for Cinna, though, which is why I'm so interested to see where they go with it.

For Cinna, I always pictured the fashion reporter from Ugly Betty.

a lot of people are into Adam Lambert for Cinna, haha

Ha. Johnny Weir?

IDK, I see Cinna as being quietly understated in contrast to all the loud fashions of the Capitol... he doesn't dye his hair or skin or dress crazily, he lets his work speak for him.

TEAM CINNA

Yeah that's true, the books said his only adornment was gold eyeliner. I really don't know who could pull off Cinna. I feel like whoever they get is going to disappoint me.

i always pictured nigel barker-the photographer (and judge on america's next top model) for some reason even though he is british....

OMG, Cheno would have been GOLDEN as Effie!

Even if she's a natural blonde, there are always wigs, if they choose to go with the book description.
