Have Hunger Games fans seen this? Some fans filmed a very important scene from the book (if you haven't read the book, don't watch it, obvs). I'm more impressed with the filmmaking than the acting, but it's not bad, if a little melodramatic.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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."

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Interestingly, google imaging "Finnick" gets a lot of hits on Ian Somerhalder. I'm not against the pretty, but i totally grokked him more of a blonde surfer type, closer to an Eric Dane but not quite.
I pictured Peeta as soft and doughy also, i think relative to the miners of district 12 he was! Way better fed than anyone else in the picture. Except Haymitch. Tho i could get on board with a House-type wiry guy who drinks instead of eating.

I posted that somewhere on the board, P-C, but i don't remember what thread it was. isn't if fabulous? it totally made me cry. as if the description in the book wasn't sad enough.
that was my mental picture of Finnick too, erin. i love Ian, but definitely saw Finnick as a blonde.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
tiggy, you need to close your spoiler tag.
Somerhalder is totally not Finnick. I think he's straight up pretty, but Somerhalder has an air of douche about him that I think doesn't work for the character.

I haven't seen that, but do love that one fannish trailer for the movie (before there was going to be a real one!)

meara, which one? Because apparently there are a lot. The first one I found was this one, which is not very good.
...I don't know what it is about The Hunger Games and Linkin Park.
(Or maybe it's just dystopias and Linkin Park. When my brother was in junior high, his friend made a movie trailer or something for The Giver for an English class. It also used Linkin Park.)
