The Hunger Games is an AMAZING novel!! It's one of the best books I've ever read
I definitely recommend it to anybody who hasn't read it yet. It's GREAT!! Go get it!! NOW!! 
I can't wait for book 2, Catching Fire, to come out on September 1st... Only 6Β½ months to go!!

yes it is.
is it true that they're thinking of making a hunger games movie?
if so, who do you want to cast to be the actors?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yep, it's true!!! Lionsgate bought the rights for the movie a couple months ago
But I really have ZERO idea about the cast... One thing's for sure, though : I don't want any 25-year-old actors playing 15-year-old characters!!

lol i hope they go through with it..but i must admit im scared theyll kill the book with all their editing
i totally agree with you when it comes to the casts age. it would be more authentic if they stayed true to the character's age.
the reason i asked was because someone on youtube put their list of dream hunger games cast up there...and s/he wants katniss to be either megan fox or camille belle ...ultra pretty girls...too pretty to even want to fight if you get what i mean.
oh gosh, i dont want them to kill the book

*Google* Megan Fox is 23, and Camille Belle is 22... But I think they both look older than that, way too old to be interpreting a 16-year-old girl. And they don't look anything like the Katniss I picture in my head!!
I think the biggest challenge about the movie will be showing things from Katniss' point of view, showing her true feelings and her motivations for everything that she does. In the book, everything happens in her mind. She pretends not to be afraid, but she is. She pretends she's in love with Peeta, but she isn't (not consciously, at least...). She pretends the pot of broth is just a pot of broth, but it isn't. It's all a game of pretending!!
So how can they translate that into a movie?? They'll have to give us access to Katniss' thoughts, I guess... Or maybe they'll let the viewers believe her lies, just like the viewers of the Games believe her lies in the book, and at the end of the movie they'll drop the bomb, and the viewers will understand the truth at the same time as Peeta does... We'll just have to wait and see, I guess!!!

tbh, i want katniss to be an average pretty, not some high hollywood type. i hope they convey the characters well.
wasnt twilight having a similar problem..cuz bella thought a lot of the stuff out..and they kinda killed the drama of her escaping alice and jaspers watch..cuz in the book she was figuring so much out in her head and in the movie she just walks out like nothing was happening..
i hope they do what you suggested: let the audience see her lies then drop the bomb. that way its like theyre the audience for the hungergames...aha i just want it to be good.

Oooh, I just read something interesting... Apparently Suzanne Collins is going to adapt the book for the movie herself

oh happy happy days~~
thanks so much for that info<3

I want Katniss to be average too
And yeah, they changed a lot of things with Twilight... Alice would've seen Bella walking away from their hotel room and getting into a cab... Oh, well. They couldn't make a 5-hour movie (mmm 5 hours of Edward... mmmm...), so they had to make some choices and delete some parts of the book...

lol five hours of edward cullen, careful now ahah. arent they changing book two as well?
π: 0 β©: 1
I read somewhere that Edward makes Bella a different offer in the movie, but I don't know if it's really true (if the information was translated from English to French, they could have misinterpreted it, since proposal = proposition = offer...). Apart from that, I don't know if they'll be changing a lot of things.
π: 0 β©: 2
an offer huh? hmm that would make things interesting..
i heard more edward cullen was going to be on the movie..since book 2 only brought him in the end..they wanted to appease the fans by putting him in..idk anymore
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, in the book Bella only hears his voice, but in the movie she's going to see him like a ghost^^
I found a great argument to convince everyone that Peeta is much better than Gale!!!
In French, Peeta's name sounds like pita bread, right? Well, in French, Gale's name means scabies, haha!!
π: 0 β©: 1
lol while i was reading it i thought that was what was happening.
omg that is a ftw argument!
scabies? dear gosh i feal bad for the boy...but i love peeta too much to care enough
π: 0 β©: 1
lol I don't feel bad for Gale!!!!
Oh, and by the way : Rue = Street in French

π: 0 β©: 1
LOL i get what you mean with the whole "no hablo espanol" thing. its kinda hard for me to go to liquor stores and ask for something when all these people speak is spanish.(i hope you catch my drift
OMG I KNOWWWWWWWW, its out and we cant get it yet*SOBS*i understand how you feel
if you get it before me please let me know~
π: 0 β©: 1
I'll only get the book on September 25th, so there's a good chance you'll get it before me
π: 0 β©: 1
i got the book! ahaha but then i cant touch it till my birthday so youll be reading it before i do. enjoy~

I feel like I should explain what I meant more clearly
Maybe they said the proposal was different, but when they translated it to French, they said the offer was different, and that doesn't necessarily mean the same thing...
PS : Sorry for the late reply!!!

Catching Fire was amazing <3
I prefer the first one, just because a lot of CF seems to be in 'fast forward'.
