The Hunger Games

Yes, I've seen the music vid! Its kinda weird, but I can't put a finger on how. Catching fire is my fav book!!! It's sooo epic!
Alright peoples, what female character do you most remind yourself of?
1. Katniss E.
2. Prim E.
3. Mrs. E.
4. Effie
5. Joanna M.
6. Annie C.
7. Glimmer
8. Clove
9. Foxface
10. Rue
11. Enobaria
12. Cashmere
13. Wiress
14. Mags
15. Delly C.
So, which person are you most like? In terms of looks, build, personality, and arena plan. Obviously Effie doesn't have a arena plan, but if she were in the area, she'd just run and hide and scream. Yes, for those people who weren't in the arena, you'll have to make up their plans. lol. Alright, for me;
Looks: Katniss (go figure. Hey, I even live in D12!)
Build: Glimmer
Personality: Katniss E.
Arena plan: Johanna M. (I hate to say it, but I could run around and kill other tributes if it meant going home. My friends and brother even told me that I could totally win the games. Is that a complement? )

Yes Tabbs, that is a TOTAL complement!!!!
I took a test to see who I was and I was Katniss E. too. If you had to survive the games I'd go with you.

Looks: No one, actually. I've never seen a character in fiction that I resemble look-wise
Build: Foxface, Katniss, and Clove
Personality- Katniss
Arena plan - Katniss and Foxface's

Haha, siri! I'm sure you look like someone! and thanks, Kayla? Ooh! And I bought hunger games nail polish!!! It's real cool! A red-gold color!! It makes real good fire!

I just found this one-shot fanfic of Coral, A D4 tribute and victor of the 66th Hunger Games. She has a dream/vision and wonders what's up.

I know no one can hurt me now, now that I've won the games. But my sleep is still fitful and haunted.
“Oh miss Coral, I know your games. I know your hate for me. And this will not go unpunished.” Snow cackles. He waves his hand towards the TV, where I watch Ania reach into the glass bowl. She fingers around and accidentally tips over the bowl. Thousands of slips of paper spill onto the stage and I watch in horror; the only name on them is Marina Ricketts. My twin, he can't reap her! Ania smiles evilly, then turns into Snow. He picks up a slip of paper and reads “Marina Ricketts”. I scream and throw myself at him, but as I do, Peacekeepers shoot Marina, Finnick and my friend Annie Cresta. I’m left sitting in the stage, sobbing wildly. Snow tilts my chin up and looks me in the eyes. I tell him to kill me, but he responds “Oh no Coral, you can live with the knowledge that it’s your fault that your twin and friends died.” I scream and lunge at him. But someone holds me back. I turn around and stare at a dark-haired girl with stormy gray eyes. She holds a bow and arrow.
“Let me do this Coral. I have many things to settle with him.”
“Who are you?”
“I am the Mockingjay. I caused a rebellion and he threatened all close to me.”
“But I’ve never heard of you!”
“And you won’t, not for many years.”
She turns and shoot towards the sky. All of a sudden, Snow falls to the ground and begins to die. A wind blows and she disappears. I’m left all alone on the stage again, and Finnick, Annie, and Marina are all there, safe and sound. They smile at me and we all walk off stage. I turn around to look back and I see her, standing there, with a blonde man. But she’s older, at least 10 years older. Maybe she’s about 30 years old now. His hand is on her stomach and he is smiling like crazy. They look so happy together. Then she notices me, presses the middle three fingers of her left hand to her lip and extends them to me. “And may the odds be ever in your favor.”
I wake up, sweating and panting like crazy. Who is this Mockingjay? Will she lead a rebellion against Snow and the Capitol? And who is the blonde boy next to her?


I think it's pretty darn cool!!! Not my writing....well.

I'm excited because tickets for the midnight premiere went on sale today! My friends and I are all going and we're going to dress up as Capitol citizens.

Woah! We've got to buy the tickets to the IMAX premire! And Capitol citizens?! Cool! Whatcha gonna wear?

Awesome!!!

I guess I remind myself of Rue, and a little bit of Foxface. I don't really look like any of the characters, though

I'm going to start reading the series today, but I've read way too many spoilers.

LOL SWA!

Wow, there is a premiere? That's neat!

Yep. It's huge!! I think we're going to have to order tickets early to get to opening night. The premiere is in Hollywood.... go figure.

Yeah, there's a premiere in Hollywood several days before the movie. I'm going to the midnight showing of it, not the actual big flashy premiere.

And I haven't finalized my outfit yet, although I have some ideas. I'm waiting until this weekend when I go back home and can look through all the clothes I didn't bring with me to college.

lol Amarathine!!! Pinksaber, you really should read them!! I didn't want to at first, being my stubborn self, but when I read them.... well. TOTAL FANGIRL!!!!

I've moved all discussion on the RP/game to the Forum Games topic

So there is another dude at church who loves the Hunger Games also, and over lunch with my brother and another friend, we talk about the books alot. Well, to get to the point, we might hold a Hunger Games after church. The church is house church and the family lives on a farm. But yea, real HG, just no killing. We're gonna use long sticks as spears and stuff like that. But the only food is at the Cornucopia, and blah, blah, blah! Hopefully we can do it. Looks like I'll be killin' a few more tributes. Gonna start training this week. Moooooohahahahahaha! Oh, and I wore my HG shirt after church and boo-yah! Everyone commented on it!!

Suzanne Colins saw the movie and here is what she says.

Dear Readers,

I’ve just had the opportunity to see the finished film of The Hunger Games. I’m really happy with how it turned out. I feel like the book and the film are individual yet complementary pieces that enhance one another. The film opens up the world beyond Katniss’ point of view, allowing the audience access to the happenings of places like the Hunger Games control room and President Snow’s rose garden, thereby adding a new dimension to the story.

Director Gary Ross has created an adaptation that is faithful in both narrative and theme, but he’s also brought a rich and powerful vision of Panem, its brutality and excesses, to the film as well. His world building’s fantastic, whether it be the Seam or the Capitol. It’s amazing to see things that are suggested in the book fully developed and so brilliantly realized through the artistry of the designers.

And, my God, the actors. The cast, led by the extraordinary Jennifer Lawrence, is absolutely wonderful across the board. It’s such a pleasure to see how they’ve embodied the characters and brought them to life.

So I’d like to sincerely thank all the many people who devoted their time and talents to the film, especially producers Nina Jacobson and Jon Kilik, and the excellent teams at Color Force, Larger Than Life, and Lionsgate.

I hope you enjoy the film!

Suzanne Collins

What do y'all think of my new banner?

Totally awesome!! I love it!

Thanks! I'm very happy with how it turned out.

Did you make it? Oooh, and have you seen the training center/apple in the pigs mouth scene? It looks pure awesome!!

Woah that rocks! I hope it's as good as she says! I can't believe it finished already!
