The Hunger Games Trilogy

[bitca]

You guys are making me want to re-read these. Daaaammit! Times like these I wish I had a Nook or Kindle instead of schlepping crap around.

[petitesuite]

bitca, I'm sure you could find a pdf of the books (unless reading for that long on your computer is inconvenient/painful for you).

[bitca]

That's how I originally read them. I was actually wishing I had something more portable than my computer! Hee.

Especially now that it is TOAST!

I keep seeing pictures of Josh Hutcherson online and I am really hoping that he is one of those people who looks better in motion. Not everyone can be photogenic, believe me I know. I have never seen him in anything, is he a really good actor?

[bitca]

Shut your face!!

I've only seen him in one thing, The Kids are Alright. I thought that movie was pretty weak and he was the weakest link, soo... Dreadful.

Agreed about both Josh Hutcherson and The Kids are Alright. Both were weak. I don't know if I would say he was terrible but definitely not memorable. As homely as I think he is normally, he is going to look ten times worse as a blue eyed blond. I can not picture it all.

First look at Peeta and Gale on the new EW cover.

It's not usually like me to be so harsh but I actually think both boys are really ugly. However, this:

Although Peeta and Gale circle each other warily throughout the series, it turns out that Hutcherson and Hemsworth bonded hard during their six weeks together on set. So much so that Hutcherson brought Hemsworth along on a weekend visit to his hometown in Kentucky to relax with his family and sample his grandmother’s famous fried chicken. “I think it’s going to blow people’s minds when they see that Peeta and Gale are actually best friends in real life,” says Hutcherson.

is cute. If the movie's bad, well, at least they made a friend.

OK maybe I was thinking of someone else, but Liam is not nearly as cute as I thought he was. I thought he was OK initially, but this picture makes me really leery about the casting for both. Just not at all what I pictured when reading the book.

Liam is better looking with his natural hair color although not as cute as his brother Thor. Just as I thought Josh makes an even uglier blond. Are his eyes still brown in the photo too? Its hard to tell. I'm not really a super stickler for the actors having to match the book character but Josh is just completely wrong for Peeta. I guess if he is an amazing actor it won't matter but I am skeptical of that.

Also are those photos from the set or is it just for the promo photos? Because that forest looks really fake and way lusher than I imagined.

More photos here.

Katniss' hair and make-up are impeccable and her clothes look she's been styled for an outdoors fashion shoot. Yeah...I'm not getting good feelings about this movie.
