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.
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.

Yes.
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.
Hec, @thedailyMUBI just tweeted a link to your HiLoBrow posts. So you may see a few hits today...
