Which one? Alex looks more rugged but way older.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Because books.
What sj said, Daisy. But if they scruff him up a little, Parrish would work okay for me.
I definitely want whoever plays Gale to look older than Peeta.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think Peeta starts off super shiny and Town.

But chubbier, no? I think it should look obvious that he is more well fed than the others in town.

I don't think he was as super shiny as, say, the mayor's daughter, but yeah. I just pictured him not heavier really, but sturdier?

Sure, but he could just be healthy-looking to others' skinny.
Possibly creepily, I have realized that in my head, Peeta is a boy version of a guy I dated last year, and Gale is a boy version of a guy I'm dating now.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Putting the Black Swan Blackout in Context:
Sarah Lane, whose heavenly dancing helped make Natalie Portman believable as the ballerina Nina Sayers—thanks to face replacement—was not acknowledged by Portman at the Oscars. Not only that, but Lane was suddenly deleted from a video showing Black Swan’s special effects that was circulating on the web.
Lane said...a Fox Searchlight producer had already called to ask her to stop giving interviews until after the Oscars. “They were trying to create this façade that she had become a ballerina in a year and a half," she said. "So I knew they didn’t want to publicize anything about me.”
I believed the lie!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
From an interview on EW
In the books, Katniss is described as being olive-skinned, dark-haired, possibly biracial. Did you discuss with Suzanne the implications of casting a blonde, caucasian girl?
Suzanne and I talked about that as well. There are certain things that are very clear in the book. Rue is African-American. Thresh is African-American. Suzanne had no issues with Jen playing the role. And she thought there was a tremendous amount of flexibility. It wasn’t doctrine to her. Jen will have dark hair in the role, but that’s something movies can easily achieve. [Laughs] I promise all the avid fans of The Hunger Games that we can easily deal with Jennifer’s hair color.
Ahahah. Ahah. Yes. Because what I was really fucking worried about was whether or not you could dye her hair. Not that she's fucking Caucasian.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I believed the lie!
I can't believe I fell for it at all. I know better than to think that that level of ballet is achievable in that time, even training as hard as she may have - I just didn't think they'd go to that level of dissembling about it.
Liese, oy. I haven't even read the books in question, but I'm @@. Looks like Racebending is on it, and the rest of the media is even picking it up. [link] I can't believe they specified white actors only; I know that's standard practice unless the character is explicitly another race, but Hunger Games seems like the perfect opportunity to widen it out a little.
