The Hunger Games Fan Club 2.0

Joining

I was a little late to the party, I had a HUGE to read list and Hunger Games was pretty low on it.

But I got addicted on the first book, and it was really good timing in reading it apparently because the movie is coming out very very soon so I don't have to wait. EEP! XD
 
9_9 yay I have a place to rant.

So - right - so the Seam people are established as olive-skinned, black-haired, gray-eyes. Yes? That means Katniss, Gale, Haymitch. ... So why are Katniss and Gale white in the movies...? Ehhh...? Am I the only one infuriated at this? I seem to be for some reason, no one else has even mentioned this.

Also they are like, mentioning casting Finnick and they're also all-white people. Maybe it was just me but I also read him as being dark-skinned. I mean iirc they mentioned it...? And why else would him having green eyes be anything special? -_- Uhg... Also the choices were all like, smallish people, which was just hilarious because Finnick. Yeah that's not relevant but it just made me lol. They were pretty + small like all of hollywood. :p (And very very white. Sigh.)

Well, Finnick was stated to be "golden-skinned", which I guess to be kinda light and not really dark, but I'm not really a good judge of skin color based on what the colors are apparently called.
 
Damn. Adrian Grenier would be perfect for Finnick if he wasn't so stickly. Whatever though; if he's white I am going to murder someone.

Nothing unusual.

I always pictured Cinna as a mildly effeminate 80s Michael Jackson. But a sports dude is cool too! :D

I keep thinking, 'I will watch this movie so hard that the light from the screen will enter my eyes and my eyes only, leaving a perfectly black screen for everybody else.'
 
I honestly don't even know how to respond to that.


I'm unsure about Cinna's actor, but I guess we'll have to see how he does.
 
You are so lucky
/envious


I have no ideas about actors, but my mind will be blown if Nic Cage is in it (as long as he isn't a main character, of course)
 
I'm having a difficult time accepting some of the cast. Especially Effie - I pictured her more like Katy Perry at the 2011 VMAs, not like she's portrayed on the posters or in the trailers. I hope the rest of the movie makes up for some of this.
 
Joining because the first book is awesome.

(Not a fan of the other two books, or movies-of-books, but HG looks like it'll be an awesome exception to the rule).
 
PHANTOM I AM JELLY! SO VERY JELLY.
Am I the only one who though Cinna was going to be white?
