Hollywood does love its happy endings. I was just reading up on The Thing, and apparently Carpenter filmed an alternate ending where Kurt Russell's character gets rescued at the end. (Sorry Keith David, you're a black dude in a horror movie. No rescue chopper for you!) Thankfully that never got released.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

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.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think they look fine, but I have no idea if they can act.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That the boys are played by actors I don't know anything about and Katniss is played by an Oscar nominee seems pretty fitting.
I am just now reading Mockingjay, though, so it's not like I have spent a lot of time thinking about casting.

Punishingly Intricate
Josh Hutcherson was the son in the Kids are All Right, evidently (I didn't know him by name). I thought he was really pretty good in that.

IO9 lists 10 ways of looking at Blade Runner. They all make the story seem poseury and unattractive to me, pretty much.

I know Hemsworth as the guy from that awful Miley Cyrus movie that looked like a year-later remake of that awful Channing Tatum movie. Which does not fill me to overflowing with confidence in his acting ability.

Okay, what's weird is that I thought they were cast the other way round. Now I'm not as at peace with it.
