"Who ordered the pig?"
Everything's coming up Hunger Games right now, and it's only going to get more ubiquitous as the premiere nears. No complaints here! Strange to see it get so huge, though. I'm used to fandom being a separate part of my life, lived online. But nearly everyone I know IRL is excited about it. Rather disconcerting, that! Haven't decided whether to hit a midnight screening, since it's a school night, but I don't want to wait for my friend who refuses to go on opening weekend. ;)
I'm quite excited about the movie, though maybe not as excited as I expected to be. That will probably change as the opening date gets closer. Fortunately, I don't have any real expectations for it, so I won't be let down. But then I've always been easy to please! I love the casting all around, especially Lenny Kravitz as Cinna and Josh Hutcherson as Peeta -- he's as close to my image of the character as I could've hoped for. I love that they filmed in the old growth forests of Appalachia. And while I'm sure the script won't hit every one of the notes, I think it'll still be pretty darn good!
And here are a few of my favorite HG links:
-- Lots and lots of photos! I can't even pick the one I like best.
-- Suzanne Collins posted on Facebook that she is thrilled by the movie. Authorial approval is always a good thing.
-- Slate offers cutouts of Seneca Crane's wacky beard for you to paste on stuff. Love the one with the Dowager Countess.
