Lawrence and Hutcherson go on MTV's Yes/No, are adorable. They have a nice chemistry.

I'm wondering how much they may have scaled back the violence of the games to still get a PG-13 rating.

I was watching The Dark Knight tonight, also rated PG-13, and thinking about the implied violence in it. I thought it was handled extremely well, especially considering the bloodless, bloodbath that is the opening scene. If Ross goes that route and shows the brutality without the blood splash, he should be okay.

I've read that they're holding back on all the arena stuff, because that's the crux of the film. We probably won't get any cornucopia, cave, or feast clips at all. The film is also supposed to be over 2 hours, so I'm hoping that the action in the arena is given the full treatment. Cannot wait though!

I'm so excited for this movie! One of my girlfriends bought our tickets already for the 23rd at the ArcLight!!! The last time I was this excited for a movie premiere was Sex and the City, lol.

I've never aww-ed this much over an interview. I LOVE Jennifer's reaction to the question if Josh is dreamier than Robert Pattinson.

I'm amused that two of the main actors are natural blondes and had to be dyed dark, while the natural brunette had to be dyed blond. At least, that's what I read.
I had a hard time reconciling the glamorous Jennifer Lawrence of last year's Oscars (slinky red gown) with the bitter, beaten down 16-year-old girl of the books, but watching the trailer - it works. I don't know either actor from anything, so they're fine to me.
Love Donald Sutherland as the president and Stanley Tucci as the smarmy host. I don't have an issue with Woody Harrelson either; he's played a variety of cranky oddballs in the past. And his stringy hair is how it's supposed to look, at least as long as Haymitch is an unkempt boozer.

Fitness website The Daily Burn has come up with a workout plan to get you in Hunger Games shape, as well as an Eat for Survival diet plan. Now a gym/spas has followed in their footsteps:

Want to get into killer shape like Katniss, Peeta and the other Tributes from the Hunger Games? Exhale mind body spa's Core Fusion classes will hit every muscle in and around your core to help you transform into the ultimate fighter. Combine the classes below 3-4 times a week and you'll be no match for the other Tributes by the time the Hunger Games hits theaters March 23!

So. Much. Fail. (And desperate to tie yourself to the next big movie, much?)

That is so Capitol....

They do realize that the Capitol kept most of the citizens on starvation diets? Why should we want to emulate that? Oh, because nothing is more important than having defined abs.

And if 24 people sign up for their Hunger Games Workout Plan, does that mean only one survives?

Clip of Cinna & Katniss meeting.

Is it wrong the whole time I was watching that clip all I could think is, "Lenny Kravitz even makes gold eyeliner sexy!"? Seriously, he's probably the one man on this planet that can wear gold eyeliner and not look ridiculous!

After getting my lustful thoughts out of my head the clip did make me sad due to Cinna being executed. Poor Cinna! He was truly the only decent person in the Capitol!
