On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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.

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

It's really sad!

I have a question about Finnick again. The text describes him as having bronze-coloured hair. What does that conjure up for you?

(Weirdly, people were quoting my transcripts of his description back to me as if it supported their contention that he's described as tanned. If he is, it's in the back half of book 3, because I CAN DO FULL TEXT SEARCHING ON THE E-BOOK. Even though the ball isn't in my court--they should be defending their assertion--I did verify that the word "tan" does not occur in Catching Fire. But their impression of what the words mean is so different from mine, for those who actually went back to the text. It's remarkable how few people thinks that's important when discussing canon.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would say that's medium-brown and reddish.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

bronze-coloured hair

Bronze to me says dark blonde.

Yeah, I'm with Jessica. This: [link] is how I see bronze, and it's pretty close to an ash blond [link] for me.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I pictured him as red-headed, but now I think that is not bronze!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I think of that kind of lion-mane color that surfers get with sun-bleaching over brownish-auburn.

My flippant answer is that it was probably specifically created to trigger that reaction, because I know you're not the only person to have that creep-out reaction to it. Every time I see the trailer, I can feel my muscles tensing up when the siren noise becomes audible.

I suspect the siren noise in Silent Hill was similarly intentional.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

ita, I don't think I've actually seen Tatum in anything, but I am completely onboard with your outrage in this instance.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

it's an interesting read, but also possibly over-thinking by a fanboy.
