zuisa, whatever you do, DON'T START WATCHING BSG RIGHT NOW. Pace yourself.
eta: I didn't have audio, but the visuals of that trailer were great. Was that RDJ as Haymitch?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hah. That's probably sound advice. Something happy is definitely in order, seeing as how I'm probably going to need to be scraped off the ground in my sadness-induced stupor when I'm done with Mockingjay.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I've moved up to #37 in the holds queue for Mockingjay.

Yes, Mockingjay is the most bleak, but, if it helps, it's also the least believable.

Was that RDJ as Haymitch?
it was, indeed! he seems to be the most popular choice from fandom. i'm not on board the Kaya train. i think Lyndsy Fonseca would make a better Katniss. i really wish they'd go the unknown route with most of the characters though.

Welp. Catching Fire done.
Not sure if I want to even attempt Mockingjay yet. I'm emotionally distressed!!
I would love them to cast unknown kids in the movie. Although, I can't imagine that movie being anything but upsetting. There is SO much violence.

For a cleansing of the palate, I highly recommend "Lost in Austen" a really charming and funny miniseries starring Jemima Rooper (who I fell in love with as the lesbian ghost in "Hex".)
Basically, it's time travel back into Pride & Prejudice, and it's funny and lovely. It's streaming on Netflix.

Ooh, I saw that on Netflix, and I love Pride & Prejudice, and it did look really fun. I'll have to look into that.

Tiggy, I just watched that trailer you linked, and WOW. I cannot even fathom how much work it must have been to do that. It was stunning. Nicely cast, too, from what I could see. I only recognized the boy playing Peeta, but wow. I am impressed.

Yeah who is that Katniss girl? She sure looks the part but I can't place the actress. If I didn't recognize the footage from the movie where they all live underground (and know in advance that was a fan trailer) I might have been fooled. Brilliant bit with the wolf there at the end.
