Randomness: I just caught the last 2/3 of Dogfight on Encore and cried and cried and cried, embarrassingly more than for HP7. Then, because I am obsessive about needing not just wrenching, heart-reaming experiences but masses of words about them, I went hunting and Googling for more Dogfight thoughts and I found this, which says very nearly everything I could have and then some.
Buffy: I was regrouping. Spike: You were about to be regrouped into separate piles.

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I haven't thought about Dogfight in years--thanks for reminding me, JZ! Such a terrific movie. I really haven't seen too many River Phoenix films, but he and Lily Taylor were both amazing in it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That was a great discussion, and what a great movie! I should watch it again, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Promo shots from The Hunger Games. Jennifer looks *way* young. However, Peeta is not blond enough.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
If you ever wondered why Peter Bogdonovich's first three movies were so good and the rest sucked, it's because Polly was his wife early in his career and had a tremendous impact on The Last Picture Show, What's Up Doc?, and Paper Moon.
After that she worked a lot with James Brooks, and can be credited with mentoring Wes Anderson and getting Matt Groening started in TV.

I think they all look way too old.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Peeta looks way too old, but Gale looks about right to me. Isn't he older than the other two? Katniss looks like a 16 yo to me. Isn't she 16? Also, did they just give up on making Peeta blond?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd really prefer them to look not so much alike. Gale is supposed to look like Katniss and Peeta like Prim.
