Ha, yes, that's considerate of Nook, isn't it? Usually on our road trips we amble around bookstores and buy books since we don't have local ones. This trip, I totally went to the Barnes and Noble and bumbled around, and then left and went back to the hotel and bought "Snuff" on the Nook. I mean, I guess it's good that it's all in the family this time, and I didn't take my business away from an independent local. But it has lost the OMG must get to the store element for me.
Now all I need is my 3D digital printer and I can just order stuff from the internet and have it materialize in my house. What do you mean it doesn't work that way? What are you talking about materialism of the Capitol?
Anyway, yes. That's totally a cold way of looking at it. But there are those elements there.
Okay, so I finally saw the Hunger Games trailer. My first thought? Nobody looked dirty, hungry, or oppressed enough...
Definitely
And Jennifer Lawrence is too pretty. ::shrugs::
She looks too grown up to me. I still really feel that part of the power of these books is how young Katniss is and how much she has had to deal with at a young age, JL just looks too adult for the role for me. I'm hoping her acting can make up for it.

Yeah, that too. She's only supposed to be 3 or 4 years older than Prim, but she looks about 8.
I guess by "too pretty" I mean, even in the
"before makeover" scenes,
she's too clean & neat. She doesn't look poor & beaten down. She's spent her life being cold, hungry, & desperate--but she doesn't look it.

I completely agree with this.
I think in Winter's Bone she looked more like what I thought pre make over Katniss would look like.
I do think 16 year old girls often look like grown women on the outside.

On TV and in the movies maybe, but the ones I know in real life very rarely do.
The ones I know in real life (read: are related to)
certainly
do. It's a plague.
Some do, some don't.
I didn't(in my own estimation) yet I never got carded.
