Hunger Games movie
Realized that I should probably watch the movie sooner rather than later, so I didn't have to avoid all the entries about it on the internet.
My priorities included making sure that the new MythBusters episode was going to play again later, and that I'd be home in time to see it. Which worked out all right.
It's always interesting to see what trailers get paired with what movies. Avengers got some glee. There was a fascinating Cinderella trailer with what looked like an eminently kickass Cinderella in reasonable armor. Who looked -- and my notorious faceblindness may be coming into play here, but I *swear* -- like Kristen Stewart.
Poor little Prim.
I know that heaps and heaps of stuff got left out, but I felt the result was a lean movie that zipped the fuck along in most places.
My reading of Cinna had been a little more, well, fabulous, and a little less intense, but man, Lenny nailed a really hardcore dude with an amazingly tough job. I'd also read Haymitch a little differently, though him more in terms of physicality -- more out of condition than he was -- but he was also excellent.
BLUE-HAIRED TALK SHOW HOST: I am every genial asshole tv show host you have ever loved to hate, all rolled into one.
AZZ: *I want your hair.*
KATNISS: Reconsidering that staying-alive thing, if it means trying to make nice with this dude.
PEETA: I was born to be on talk shows. Let me smell you.
BLUE-HAIRED HOST: You are weird, yet compelling. Tell me more.
AZZ: I can see your wig, mutt.
PEETA: Sadly, I do not get "all the bitches". My love is pure, yet tragic.
KATNISS: Do you prefer strangulation or stabbing? I'm liking the sound of strangulation today.
HAYMITCH: If you do not play nice for the cameras, the game is the least of your worries. I will kill you myself.
PEETA: You know, I think I'll team up with the Careers.
KATNISS: I hate you so much.
AZZ: You seriously expect me to tell all these short-haired beefy white boys apart while you're doing shaky-cam?
PEETA: I am one with the tree.
KATNISS: Let's roll with that star-crossed lovers schtick, if it's going to get us out alive.
GALE: Not liking this.
DUDE IN THE AUDIENCE: Team Jacob!
PEETA: My crush would be so much less creepy if we had more time to get to know each other properly.
SNOW: My love of harmless gardening enhances my immense creepiness.
CRANE: I am shockingly naive for someone in my position.
SNOW: Fix that.
PEETA AND KATNISS: *win*
CRANE: This isn't going to be a fun meeting.
SNOW: I left you dessert.
GALE: See, your sister's just fine! Can we go back to being best buddies?
PEETA: Still totally devoted here.
KATNISS: We're all fucked.
