It is probably for the best that I did not read “The Hunger Games.” Just when I thought I was becoming more of an adult, Hollywood has offered me another chance to live entirely inside my imagination as a badass heroine–and this time it is Katniss Everdeen (for those of you who don’t know, The Hunger Games are an annual event in which one boy and one girl from each of 12 districts are selected by lottery to compete in a televised battle in which only one person can be left standing).
Thoughts I had throughout the movie leading up to me becoming Katniss Everdeen:
1. Teenagers killing each other? I am not so sure I want to see this film.
2. My, my, who is this fine man they have brought before me as Gale Hawthorne? Liam Hemsworth you say? Let us wed.
3. Peeta…I guess we can make out. Hands stay above the waist.
4. Woody Harrelson is in this? He asked for my number one time. It was funny.
5. Lenny Kravitz? Is that you? I need that gold eyeliner.
6. Woah. A lot of teenagers just died. Cool.
7. I want the Katniss braid. I hope one of my hairstylist friends will make this happen–hint hint.
9. I need to take archery lessons so I can be Katniss Everdeen.
10. Peeta, you’re growing on me. You can do me if you want.
11.I really could do all of these things, how am I not Katniss Everdeen?
12. No, wait–I feel it. I already am Katniss Everdeen.
Thanks, Hollywood.
now i simply have to go see this – hope peeta is as hot as he sounds

I just saw this this past weekend, in Los Angeles to boot! But the entire time I was thinking similar thoughts. …Though I’m not too sure if I’ll ever be Katniss, even if I wanted to, all the close-ups had me thinking for a minute I was her…

I think you are a perfect Katniss. And I’m pleased to see you decided to give Peeta a go. What he lacks in stature he might atone for in other areas. And now try to pretend that didn’t just come from a middle-aged woman…

You should read the books! I’m almost an adult(24) also should do adult things but I just I can’t help it 🙂 The books are WAY better than the movie, although the movie was well done, I enjoyed it! (great casting!)

Loved the books. And I wanted to be Katniss too, but I don’t think a chubby gay guy could really pull it off. But damnit, I want to try. Peeta definitely grew on me but Josh Hutcherson… He’s just one of those up-and-coming actors that I cannot stand to look at. Now, Liam Hemsworth, the hawt brother of the already hawt Chris Hemsworth (who is THOR by the way)… Cover him in glitter and my load will have already been wasted. JUST SAYING!
