I can't decide if Jack Quaid has his mother's mouth or his father's....
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Gale is hotter than Peeta.
I don't think I'm going to reread. But I will definitely be going to the movies.

Because books.
I think Jack Quaid has his mom's mouth.
And based on that photo, I would choose Gale a million times over.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am totally on the side of the Careers.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Gale is hotter than Peeta.
Put it this way, Gale is hot, Peeta is odd looking, and not in a good way.

Because books.
Peeta is adorable, in my eyes, but in that way that makes me want to pet his head and make sure he's wearing his raincoat.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
But I think that's true to the books, no? Gale is the tall dark handsome one, and I think of Peeta as softer, fairer and sort of average-looking.

Peeta is uber wholesome looking, which fits the character, just not my type.
Looking at the cast I realize that in my head the characters weren't quite so white. Not that the book specified race much, now that I think about it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Gale is hotter than Peeta.
No. Shit. I know who I'm rooting for.

Looking at the cast I realize that in my head the characters weren't quite so white.
I always thought of District 1+2 tributes as Collins' version of Aryan Youth, so their whiteness was expected, but concur on the rest of them. I'd have been happier if it wasn't so starkly segregated so that the District 11 was some kind of black ghetto.
On the other hand, it IS a dystopic universe.
ETA: the only tribute in the photo not from districts 1, 2, 11 and 12 is Foxface, right? Maybe we'll have more diversity in the rest (although most of them die without getting any lines...)
