I have mokingjay staring at me
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

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."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Is discussing casting spoilers spoilery for the books? For instance- do you get annoyed hearing ideas about what a character is like before the author has had a chance to introduce him herself?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Personally, I'm pretty spoilerphobic, so now that I know this Finnick character exists, I don't want to know anything else about him! With these books in particular, I am loving having little to no clue what's in store for me (besides MORE PAIN).

Ahh, just as I suspected. Perhaps further movie casting speculation could be moved to the movies thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sorry! I forgot Finnick wasn't around in the first book.
Never mind him. He's boring and inconsequential. Finnick! My Finnick!

Because books.
Amy, he's still in the first book, so he's completely safe to read.
Oh, DUH. I wasn't even thinking.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
I still think Terry O'Quinn would make a fabulous Haymitch.
as for Peeta, i imagined the oldest brother from the Narnia movies.
Katniss is totally Lyndsy Fonseca.

I'm right there with you on Lyndsy Fonseca, tiggy! She looks really similar to how I pictured her when I first read the books, and Nikita has proven she can be badass!
I'm really worried about the casting. That could really make or break the movie.
RDJ for Haymitch seems too... in shape.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I still think Terry O'Quinn would make a fabulous Haymitch.
Oh. Holy cow. WAY better than W.C. Fields! But too old, from the sounds of it.

I still want Hugh Laurie as Haymitch.
