I just listened to the first book again and my main reaction to the dresses this time around was how it would be impossible to actually do them (especially the second one) as described and have them work, so I'm sort of happy with anything they come up with that makes an impact.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Scones. Scones and euchre. That's the focus of the plotline.
I hadn't thought about the concept of the before of the dress, but I like the approach they're taking. It all depends on the during and the after, though. But I think the before is solid so far.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I actually knew exactly what ita meant. Yay?
Me too. I also just realized that I was picturing Pacey as Peeta.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"Peeta, you blind idiot! Can't you see she'll never love you?"
Heh.
Now I am picturing Spike in The Hunger Games. Sunlight might be a problem for him.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ooh, dress that does the thing!
Pacey as Peeta would make me like Peeta more than I like the other guy as currently cast.
Also,
I haven't read the books so I assume the thing that happens is that she and the dress go to a nice tea party where nobody dies horribly at all.
But they have to wait a bit for scones. Hence the hunger.
HAHAHA. This is totally what happens. It's all fine.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Nothing is worse than having to play another round of croquet before they will let you sit down for tea. SO HUNGRY.

It's true! And you get tempted to thump the other players with your croquet mallet, and the tea table is RIGHT THERE, tempting you ...
... no, I haven't read the books yet, either.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Not even close to how I pictured the dress, but the corset-y part in the midsection is cool. Except if it's cinched too tight Katniss won't be able to eat the scones, which will cause HUNGER.

Re: the alternate universe movie posters --
I so very desperately want to see David O. Selznick and Friz Lang's Inception.
Also Coppola's Unbreakable and Friedkin's Terminator and T2 (Steve McQueen as Kyle Reese!)
Also Lang's 2001.
When discussing this last night, my roommate and I added two more movies from this alternate universe that we are all robbed for their not existing in this world:
Orson Wells' "Alien" and "Blade Runner".
