When you said FNL, I pictured Peeta as Jason Street and Gale as Matt Saracen.
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

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.

Yep.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
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!"

I picture Cheeks as Cinna.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a really clear Peeta in my head for some reason, and it's not an actor. But I know pretty much exactly what he looks like, and a little less sure of Gale. I have no idea why. I don't usually do it.
Actually, and Finnick. But I'd cheerfully cast Finnick. Avec couch.
I assumed he was really old too, but he's at most 41
I never said really old! I said over the hill! They aren't the same thing.

Ooh, I'm ahead of you, P-C! I just started Chapter 16.
What chapter is the Mark Reads guy up to?
