I'm in.

I hope the camerawork is better in this one than the first. The cinematography really sucked and made me ill at a few points because they wouldn't hold the damn thing steady.

 

[Mushroomer25]

I like this. I didn't love the first movie as much as some people, but the fact they're doing in-universe posters is really clever.

 

[bort]

 

[Gregorn]

I wish I had a media department to make me look tall too.

Edit: goddamit, I wanted to bring it up first.

 

[Salsa]

oh wow that kid is fucking small

 

[itwasTuesday]

Where are those flower petals falling from?

 

[Callo Merlose]

She's very fit, but something about her face makes me think she's going to burst forth from her shell the way Tetsuo did in Akira.

I think I may have a new favorite forum poster. Also, I feel much the same, despite her awesomeness.

 

[Toa TAK]

I didn't know he was that short!

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

I want to punch the guys face.

Perfect casting, then. I wanted to punch him in the book, too.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Well, it's good to know that the females in this story aren't solely dependent on males for warmth.

I don't like Jennifer Lawrence, though. She's very fit, but something about her face makes me think she's going to burst forth from her shell the way Tetsuo did in Akira.

I don't know why I'm finding this picture so fucking hilarious. Why the fuck is the Vampire sitting there watching shirtless dude snuggle up with his girlfriend?

She was going to freeze to death and vampires don't generate body heat, so wolfboy was on deck. Twilight is just delightfully stupid.

 

[TheFightingFish]

I've never read The Hunger Games, and this poster doesn't look encouraging. Is it in the same vein as Twilight?

I actually found the first two to be pretty solid for young adult fiction. If you don't have too high of expectations they have some good characters and worldbuilding. Didn't like the third though, as some others have mentioned.

 

[AlexMeloche]

Loved the first one, it was a complete surprise for me. I may see this one in theater.

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

These posters are perfect for in-universe images. They're stiff and board, the whole thing looks shallow, crass and lame-- which is all the point. I think people are missing the point.

You just need high heels.

 

[Thug Waffle]

hahaha i'm dying. Kevin Butler absolutely demolishing the fourth wall. 9/10 good sir

 

[nhlducks35]

He's actually not that short, it's just that everyone around him is tall.

Chris Hemsworth is 6'4", Lawrence is 5'9", Swift is 5'11", and Hutcherson is 5'7".

him?

 

[itwasTuesday]

Whoa, didn't know dude was that short.

Guess poster should reflect that.

 

[RiccochetJ]

I thought the first movie was pretty decent. Like a pg-13 version of Battle Royale. Thought that one dude's beard was nifty. Upkeep on that thing must have been a pain in the ass.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

Looks like younger Kevin Butler

I can't unsee it.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

5'7" cant be doing him any favors with casting directors. Shoe lifts can only do so much if you don't have charisma.

 

[R2D4]

Is The Hunger Games any good?

I'm sure it's amazing if you are a teenager.

It's like if Battle Royale had no interesting characters or plot lines and the main character survived almost entirely by chance. That's a sweet looking poster though.

 

[vas_a_morir]

That dude looks like the singer of Saves the Day.

 

[Dresden]

Whoa, didn't know dude was that short.

When's this slated to come out? I should probably get to reading that second book.

Ah, so I have some time. I liked the book much more than the movie, but I can't fault any movie with Donald Sutherland in it. It's solid at least. Less shaky cam and more violence would make me happier, but alas, PG-13.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

I was wondering something last night. In the teaser trailer for the Hunger Games, they end with the Mockingjay call, and there was a crowd reaction to it, like people recognized it. Could anyone tell me how the noise was described in the book? Just a four-note whistle, or what?

 

[pants]

Is The Hunger Games any good?

Read Lord of the Flies, watch Battle Royale and call it a day.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Very cleverly done. After reading an alternate take on Catching Fire's plot though, I don't have a huge desire to go see this. The books were some of the better teen fiction I've read, and they actually had some balls in ending it

Spoiler

in a not totally happily ever after way

Wait... alternate take? This gives me hope that the third and fourth movie won't be total crap.

No, it's just a fan's ideas about what could have occurred in the second book. Spoilers for Book 2 included, sort of.

 

[Ventilaator]

I liked the first book and hated the second.

I wonder how the third one is going to go.

 

[Prezhulio]

needs more airbrush.

 

[cruets]

2nd book is the best of the three so i'm hyped. 3rd book was terrible, so catching fire is the one to see.

 

[Brazil]

Get to it before the trailers spoil the twist for you. Best book in the series.

 

[BertramCooper]

By "charisma," do you mean "the Church of Scientology?"

 

[VeryGooster]

Definitely looking forward to Catching Fire. Still annoyed at Mockingjay being two movies, the new Hollywood standard.

5'7" is short.

That sounds more interesting than the real thing.

That he does.

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

Yeah, I liked the seccond book fine, but that's an outstanding alternate take.

My thoughts exactly, though admittedly Prim's

fate in the books satisfied me. There was a nice Nietzchian twist to it, the reason for Katniss' transformation being initiated being Prue herself.

Yeah, it's just a 4-note whistle that Rue uses to communicate with Katniss that she is okay (if I remember correctly).
