Oh wow, 41? I was totally in a WC Fields place myself!
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Or 43. I forget the upper limit of the reaping. But he's in his early forties. (Or late thirties, but I think Collins would have mentioned if he had managed to win when he was twelve or thirteen.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Yep, he was 16 when he won. But I figured all that drinking.
Now Gale I have no idea. Three books in and I still don't have a firm image of him in my mind.

When you said FNL, I pictured Peeta as Jason Street and Gale as Matt Saracen.
Amy - Dec 08, 2010 9:54:03 am PST #13136 of 28276
Because books.
Gale is dark and sort of wolfish in my head. Peeta is tall, sturdy, and sort of golden. (Egg wash from the bakery maybe?)
I can't see RDJ playing Haymitch, except for RDJ can pretty much play anyone he wants to, but I imagined a bit older, a bit more corpulent, and tired-looking.
I have no idea who should play Kat. Mostly I just need to finish the books, since I'm more than halfway through Catching Fire now. I want to see P-C's spoilerfont, but I'm afraid he's a little ahead of me.
Oh! And Effie is totally Delores Umbridge in my head, except the nice cupcakes and rainbows version.

I am on Chapter 14. (As in, I just finished Chapter 13.)
And Effie is totally Delores Umbridge in my head, except the nice cupcakes and rainbows version.
Hee. Yeah, I hated her so much in the beginning, but she got better. I imagine her very skinny, though, not froglike.

I can't think of an Effie actress. Cinna is a unique creation in my brain too. I don't imagine I'll be happy with anyone they find to play Cinna.

I can't fix Cinna in my brain for some reason, Effie is Umbridge in my head, in spite of the book description. Haymitch is a mix of The Wizard of Oz, Brenden Gleeson and a friend of my dad's. In other words: my brain casting is strange.

Cinna is fully formed in my imagination and when I try to fix him onto an actor (Alan Cumming?) he rebells, shaking his head and stomping his feet... hmm, maybe that guy from Beautiful People? Brain Cinna says, "No Way!"

...all my words have been taken by my work. - Mala
I picture Cheeks as Cinna.
