Breakdown of Hunger Games trailer. Probably spoilery if you haven't read the books.
I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That breakdown is kinda fun. But every time I see just a picture of Rue, I tear up. This is going to be a hard movie to get through.
To me, almost everything looks just as I imagined it. I think it's going to be stunning.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
The tie-in makes me go "bzuh?",
The tie-in seems like such a Capitol thing to do. Commemorative eyeliner in honor of this year's tributes!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
OMG. You are so right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I was thinking -- she's always getting her nails done when she's in the Capitol, so it's not totally crazy.... just, maybe those aren't the characters to want to emulate?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
That's the thing. The whole thing is basically a commentary of the excess and warfare of our society. Our culture. There's basically no way where all the cross-merchandising isn't going look terribly, terribly ironic.

Okay, so I finally saw the Hunger Games trailer. My first thought? Nobody looked dirty, hungry, or oppressed enough...
And Jennifer Lawrence is too pretty. ::shrugs::

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I want that Flaming Gem polish. Man, I am so shallow.
