Stills from The Hunger Games Movie Companion

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.)

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.

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!

I read all 3 books in 4 days as well :)

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.

I highly suggest you do, honestly.

Do it :) I read the entire book in one night

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.

Me too!

DO IT

they are like crack

here come the icons!

I really love what they've done with the Capitol clothing. It's just as outrageous as I imagined!

I imagined more couture and less acid tripping hipster wear.

Me too. Everything is SO not how I pictured it.

Seriously, I want more dyed skin!

what definition of the word "hipster" are you going off of? what you made up in your head?

i was expecting more body modifications, but obviously these are just extras they aren't going to go all out on makeup

lol no. It all looks just so cheaply made.

The Capitol is great. The tributes, not so much.

from the trailers ive seen, idk, this movie seems sorta low budget when it shouldnt be.

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.

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.

this. i hope they take the harry potter route!

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

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.

Unf @ Lenny

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.

Battle Royale + 1984

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.

people who never read anything suddenly becoming obsessed with a series (like Twilight) generally leads me to believe the series is complete shit

its a good quick read but nowhere near as groundbreaking and progressively feminist as some bloggers would have you believe

Harry Potter got everrryone reading again and it's a great series

I read A LOT. And I liked it. Soo...but yeah I understand what you mean everyone is ~jumping on the bandwagon~ rn.

i just scrolled really fast cause i don't want this to ruin the movie too much for me

Same same. I don't wanna be spoiled.

Cinna is foine

making me lol so hard

jennifer looks like her mom lol

I love her but lol mte

she reminds me of Sarah Wayne Callies(Lori from The Walking Dead) in this picture.

Oh God, terrible.

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

Oo I am loving the Capitol pics

Let's guess the districts based on their costumes:

the guy from the second one looks like he's from nazi germany

this made me laugh

lol

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.

Easy.

1's in the front, then 2, then 3

its just them in order i think

so its glimmer and marvel, clove and cato and whoever the district 3 tributes are

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 >_>
