Hey silverducks! Here's the Hunger Games post I was talking about setting up-I'll put up the Doctor Who post tomorrow after the fiftieth

Still way too much non-canon Galeniss in my opinion, but man was their parting just as painful as I expected. I think that more time could have been spent in showing them developing a genuine friendship, but that became exponentially more difficult without the plant book scenes. Still, I'm glad that they kept in Katniss's rage in the hovercraft when she was informed that Peeta was captured by the Capitol, something that I really wish could have been kept in the first movie.
Oh my god... First of all, I've finally been converted to a Jennifer Lawrence fan. After that performance, I'm down with throwing all kinds of Oscars her way! Her final moments in the movie were heartbreaking. I loved the way she lunged at Haymitch and demanded to know what he was doing with them, and her reaction to Peeta's being taken by the Capitol was accurate. Nitpicky, but I do wish it had been a bit longer like it was in the book, and we could have seen her go days agonizing over Peeta because that really drove home the fact that she had fallen for him. And unfortunately, I DO think that's something the movie was sorely lacking on.
I was, honestly, pretty livid about the added Galeniss scenes when I saw it last night. The kiss goodbye made me the most angry. Especially since it took up time that could have been developed the Everlark relationship. But you saw my post on that.
Johanna was bloody amazing. Like, I couldn't with what a BAMF she was. LOVED her and her defiance against the Capitol! Haymitch was also wonderful this time

Yeah, I think that the movie came off as D12 = Galeniss and anything related to the Capitol = Everlark. Which, I think, could suggest to a non-bookreader that Gale is her "real" love. And, of course, that is **so** not the case in the books. I really did not like how the whipping kiss came off because the line "I'm going to stay here and cause all sorts of trouble" had exactly ZERO payoff. In the books, Katniss backtracks almost immediately, but that doesn't happen here, which lends a completely different tenor to the scene

Lol, I think that this stuff is coming off as nitpicky as all heck, but like my other comment, I think that I am partially using the movie as a springboard just for trying to clarify my general thoughts on stuff

Yes, I do agree that at times Katniss came across as too cold. As you say, she does try and hide what she feels, but all too often they come through anyway - which is why other people tend to be able to read her so well
