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

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!
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.)

Suzanne Collins just blew off Boggs's legs. WHY CAN'T WE HAVE NICE THINGS???
On a related note, I've been debating the narrative merit of Peeta's brainwashing as it related to the love triangle, since it appears to make a relationship with Peeta nigh impossible. But with the introduction of the "Real or Not Real?" game, I'm seeing Peeta as a metaphor for the Districts who have been fed misinformation for generations. They, too, have to play that game now.
Also, I am becoming very anxious and worried about President Coin. Are they just trading dictators?
P.S. I am amused that Collins still worked in the Hunger Games with the assault on the Capitol and all the traps. LIKE THE ONE THAT JUST BLEW OFF BOGGS'S LEGS. DAMMIT I LIKE HIM.

I dunno if I should put this in Lit or Tech, but I have to share: I am SO SUPER EXCITED to travel on vacation with my Kindle! I got a huge bunch of books from a friend (mostly just books I already own in ...book form) and have downloaded a bunch of books from Amazon (ouch my wallet!) and so now I have over 100 books on my kindle, waiting to be read on the plane and while traveling (including Rick Steve's Eastern Europe!). This is going to be SO MUCH MORE AWESOME than last time I flew internationally and took a whole bag of books with...I will travel so light! God willing and the kindle don't break, there will be NO REASON to run out of books! (I figure I'll still bring one or two regular ones for the few minutes of takeoff and landing that I can't read on kindle)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
meara, I bring either a paperback or one (okay, two because, hello, return flights...) magazine for those times. My bags are could be so much lighter when traveling now.
