Stills from The Hunger Games Movie Companion





source: scanned from this book

i like clove's interview (i think?) dress more than katniss' dress tbh, but everyone else looks like they're going to prom

This movie has got me interested in the books! I haven't read them yet, and now I really want to.

I was wandering the school bookstore today and found the first one. (I had no money on me, though, nor the debit card.)
bubbleteaaa 29th-Feb-2012 03:12 am (UTC)
It's definitely worth it! It's an extremely quick read anyway so it's not like you'll be wasting any of your time.
nap_queen_247 29th-Feb-2012 03:14 am (UTC)
I was reluctant to read them at first, but I finally caved when I saw the kindle version of the series for SUPER cheap. I read all 3 books in 4 days and could not put them down. Definitely worth it!
admiral_walrus 29th-Feb-2012 05:00 am (UTC)
I read all 3 books in 4 days as well :)
anus 29th-Feb-2012 03:24 am (UTC)
I read the first book and was too impatient to get the next two that I just downloaded the kindle version and read them each in a day using the free kindle app.
acustica 29th-Feb-2012 03:28 am (UTC)
I highly suggest you do, honestly.
brandon198403 29th-Feb-2012 03:29 am (UTC)
Do it :) I read the entire book in one night
pretend_to_care 29th-Feb-2012 03:42 am (UTC)
I am actually pretty excited about the movie, and tbh I really didn't like the books. The first one was pretty okay (the actual Games were good; Collins can write action but I think her characterization is awful), but it went fast downhill from there and I really didn't like Katniss or Peeta at all.

DO IT

they are like crack
girltype 29th-Feb-2012 03:11 am (UTC)
here come the icons!
bubbleteaaa 29th-Feb-2012 03:11 am (UTC)
I really love what they've done with the Capitol clothing. It's just as outrageous as I imagined!
squirrels_oh_no 29th-Feb-2012 03:16 am (UTC)
I imagined more couture and less acid tripping hipster wear.
roseparfum 29th-Feb-2012 03:24 am (UTC)
Me too. Everything is SO not how I pictured it.
jilicious 29th-Feb-2012 03:35 am (UTC)
Seriously, I want more dyed skin!
nicholasdee 29th-Feb-2012 04:06 am (UTC)
what definition of the word "hipster" are you going off of? what you made up in your head?
nicholasdee 29th-Feb-2012 04:05 am (UTC)
i was expecting more body modifications, but obviously these are just extras they aren't going to go all out on makeup
finchroxxx 29th-Feb-2012 07:55 am (UTC)
lol no. It all looks just so cheaply made.
meow_tan 29th-Feb-2012 08:30 pm (UTC)
The Capitol is great. The tributes, not so much.
kamikashi 29th-Feb-2012 03:12 am (UTC)
from the trailers ive seen, idk, this movie seems sorta low budget when it shouldnt be.
bubbleteaaa 29th-Feb-2012 03:14 am (UTC)
Unfortunately I agree. I don't think their budget was too big though. The profits look good considering how many presale tickets were sold, so I'm hoping they'll splurge for the next few movies.
kamikashi 29th-Feb-2012 03:22 am (UTC)
i feel like the movie is gonna do well though, so they should have gave it a bigger budget :| are the next movies like already contracted to happen? even more a reason for a bigger budget if they are, since that means they already guessed it would be successful too.
ace_kay 29th-Feb-2012 03:27 am (UTC)
Unless they do what Twilight did and only add more money to the budget just for the salaries and keep everything looking cheap.
hungthem00n 1st-Mar-2012 04:31 am (UTC)
this. i hope they take the harry potter route!
ptr28 29th-Feb-2012 03:20 am (UTC)
to be fair tho we've only mostly seen district 12 and bits of the capitol in the trailer

the rest of the movie might be better
robinsparkle 29th-Feb-2012 05:15 am (UTC)
IA, it also looks like it's trying to appeal to the Twilight crowd when the storyline has the potential to attract slightly older demographic. If they have to kill each other, you know they're going to tame it down A LOT for the Twilight fanbase
xdecadentx 29th-Feb-2012 10:20 am (UTC)
It seems very Twilight-esque, I think they're hoping to follow the same pattern that they get enough money to bump up the second one.
brownxeyedxdork 29th-Feb-2012 03:12 am (UTC)
Unf @ Lenny
missjersey 29th-Feb-2012 03:12 am (UTC)
So what's this series about? My sister is reading the books, and she isn't the type of person to read a book often, and tells me that it's basically the shit.
katyperry 29th-Feb-2012 03:14 am (UTC)
Battle Royale + 1984
yalingster 29th-Feb-2012 03:17 am (UTC)
north america is now panem, it's split into 12 districts. there's this thing called the Hunger Games which requires 2 people ages 12-17/18 idr rn, from each district, to go to the capitol and fight until 1 person wins. we're focused on katniss and her journey of survival and change and etc.
k_p_makepeace 29th-Feb-2012 03:23 am (UTC)
people who never read anything suddenly becoming obsessed with a series (like Twilight) generally leads me to believe the series is complete shit
piratesswoop 29th-Feb-2012 03:25 am (UTC)
its a good quick read but nowhere near as groundbreaking and progressively feminist as some bloggers would have you believe
jilicious 29th-Feb-2012 03:36 am (UTC)
Harry Potter got everrryone reading again and it's a great series
in_styles 29th-Feb-2012 04:04 am (UTC)
I read A LOT. And I liked it. Soo...but yeah I understand what you mean everyone is ~jumping on the bandwagon~ rn.
ugly_jacket 29th-Feb-2012 03:12 am (UTC)
i just scrolled really fast cause i don't want this to ruin the movie too much for me
lurkmoarnao 29th-Feb-2012 03:21 am (UTC)
Same same. I don't wanna be spoiled.
flying_pandas 29th-Feb-2012 03:12 am (UTC)
Cinna is foine
katyperry 29th-Feb-2012 03:13 am (UTC)


making me lol so hard
piratesswoop 29th-Feb-2012 03:14 am (UTC)
jennifer looks like her mom lol
katyperry 29th-Feb-2012 03:15 am (UTC)
I love her but lol mte
kstewrulz 29th-Feb-2012 03:30 am (UTC)
she reminds me of Sarah Wayne Callies(Lori from The Walking Dead) in this picture.
xdecadentx 29th-Feb-2012 11:08 am (UTC)
Oh God, terrible.
lexification03 29th-Feb-2012 03:13 am (UTC)
ugh i hope they don't focus too much on the other tributes, i'm re-reading this rn and i am so curious to see how they will do everything in the arena
dothecrunge 29th-Feb-2012 03:13 am (UTC)
Oo I am loving the Capitol pics

Let's guess the districts based on their costumes:
k_p_makepeace 29th-Feb-2012 03:15 am (UTC)
the guy from the second one looks like he's from nazi germany
jilicious 29th-Feb-2012 03:37 am (UTC)
this made me laugh
goofusgallant 29th-Feb-2012 03:43 am (UTC)
lol
phnix_daft_mode 29th-Feb-2012 03:16 am (UTC)
Idk but the tributes from District 1 and 2 are making me lol so hard.

District 3 looks like some try hard Lady GaGa shit.
katyperry 29th-Feb-2012 03:16 am (UTC)
Easy.

1's in the front, then 2, then 3
piratesswoop 29th-Feb-2012 03:18 am (UTC)
its just them in order i think

so its glimmer and marvel, clove and cato and whoever the district 3 tributes are
dothecrunge 29th-Feb-2012 03:18 am (UTC)
i think the pink is District 1. The Grecian-looking ones.. maybe District 6: Transportation (the wings?). Unless these are all in order of district then just ignore me >_>
kamikashi 29th-Feb-2012 03:20 am (UTC)
this looks like a picture of plastic horse figurines and then people photoshopped into it lol.
squirrels_oh_no 29th-Feb-2012 03:37 am (UTC)
This makes District 1 look like their export is Vegas showgirls.
piratesswoop 29th-Feb-2012 03:47 am (UTC)
During the opening ceremonies, Marvel and his district partner, Glimmer were spray painted silver and were wearing tunics.

oop

yalingster 29th-Feb-2012 03:15 am (UTC)
:( I wish the costumes are a bit more couture and outrageous!

also the bread scene made me unhappy :(
kstewrulz 29th-Feb-2012 03:18 am (UTC)
I wish they would have used younger characters for the bread scene.
kstewrulz 29th-Feb-2012 03:19 am (UTC)

yalingster 29th-Feb-2012 03:20 am (UTC)
MTE!!! My friend asked me about it and i had no idea until i saw the newest teasers and i really wanted to (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
ace_kay 29th-Feb-2012 03:29 am (UTC)
Maybe they did and Jen and Lego-head were just in the same place ~reflecting~?
lauridsen09 29th-Feb-2012 03:15 am (UTC)
Shit, how did I not know Stanley Tucci was in this move. I'm even more excited now!!!!
squirrels_oh_no 29th-Feb-2012 03:17 am (UTC)
The costume designer for this is an Oscar nominee. You could have fooled me - it looks like art school final project for a bad student.
yalingster 29th-Feb-2012 03:19 am (UTC)
NRGH and a winner of the Face Off!! I was like wtf @ all this cheap looking stuff!
