The Hunger Games Premiere

I don’t want to spoil any of the film for those who haven’t seen it yet, but I will say a few things.

• Some parts were word-for-word with the book
• Some parts weren’t in the book but were funny or entertaining
• Some parts from the book were left out that we all feel would be important

Overall, it was great. After I watched it, I felt really sad. I still haven’t grasped that I finally watched it. Maybe because I watched it at midnight or perhaps because it was just that good. I think it could have been because everything felt real. When I read the books, they were just stories and then seeing it on screen, it felt real and I felt terrible for the tributes who died or I was so glad that I wasn’t Katniss…

Isn’t funny how this girl

Is also this girl

I remember how I didn’t think Jennifer Lawrence couldn’t play Katniss because she was too healthy (remember that Katniss was supposed to be bone thin) but wow, even in the trailer Jennifer looks like a completely different person.

Josh and Jen on cast mate who is most like their Hunger Games character.

More THG Questions answered

I think one of the reasons why I love THG Trilogy so much is because there isn’t any “mushy-gooshy” love. There are times when Peeta and even Gale want to be that way with Katniss, but she was worried about so much more. Not even just that relationship, with Finnick and Annie, there wasn’t any “I love you so much baby”, “I love you so much more”. Their love wasn’t even “I hate you, lets make out”. I think it’s beautiful how Finnick was with all these women (granted he was forced to) and he thought about Annie, “the mad girl back home”.

All of the love in the book was just… real.

Even when Peeta was hijacked, he only thought of Katniss. Even when he was getting better from it, he probably couldn’t understand it, but he still loved her.
If you think about it, Katniss and Peeta’s relationship was beautiful. Through it all they care about each other immensely, when she’s constantly pushing him away and when he’s hijacked—-there is always love.

Josh: They had a full life-sized dummy of one of our tributes that had gotten killed by a Tracker Jacker, and basically it’s all swollen and gnarly-looking and mangled, and Jennifer was out of her trailer so I took the dummy and put it inside her bathroom in her trailer. I wasn’t there for the big moment when she saw it, which I can’t believe I missed, but I’ve been told that she actually peed her pants in reaction to it. So, I was pretty proud of myself and amazed that someone actually peed their pants in fear, because I didn’t know that happened.
———————-
Jennifer: Pranks. Oh yeah, Josh, he took the dummy from one of the tributes that dies from the Tracker Jackers’ sting that is completely deformed and put it on my toilet, shut the door and [had it] holding a toilet paper roll, just for added effect. I’m in my trailer and open the bathroom door and scream and my friend grabs me and had to say “It’s fake, it’s fake, it’s fake!” I hate him. I still haven’t gotten him back for that, actually. I don’t know what to do to get him back for something like that. I’d have to find a real dead body.

The Hunger Games: GAME

I decided (with my friend Travis) to create a Hunger Games game. It has similarities to the game Assassin but obviously, it’s different.
(The same as Assassin, once you kill someone, they’re supposed to give you the slip of the person they were supposed to kill and then you go to kill them and repeat)

1. Designate a “Head Gamemaker”
   -They chose who’s in what district, in what alliances, ect.
   -The Gamemaker also creates the word or phrase for the tribute to say to their target for the tribute to kill the target.

2. Put people in districts.
   -I did it based off of how they act/appearance and such.

3. Assign targets for the tributes(people).
   -Do so in a way that it takes it to get down to only two tributes for both of them to have each others name. (like a circle basically)

4. Create alliances for everyone three times. They can have up to four tributes in one alliance. (this is where the “alliances” in the books come out, with the careers, Rue and Katniss, all. You can switch it up though)
   -No one can kill you if you are at least three feet near your allies.
                         ~Even if you’re in a crowd of people, if none of your allies are near you, then you can be killed.
   -You may help your allies kill their “target” but you may not kill that target for them. The purpose of having allies is to protect you and to assist you.
   -If you somehow end up with one of your allies as your target then you must kill them. Though you cannot tell them that you will.
   *The head Gamemaker is aloud to change up the alliances at any time.

5. Give each person three markers, or slips of paper. Two will indicate wounds and the last one is the “kill”.
   - So you have to “attack” your target three times in order for them to die.

6. If a person isn’t killing/assisting in kills or has killed too many people, the Head Gamemaker is to take away a marker from them.

7. The Head Gamemaker needs to create a riddle of some sort and needs to allow all tributes to solve it. If a tribute solves the riddle then they are allowed an extra marker or a “nightlock”.
   - a nightlock is a slip that a tribute can give to their target which “instantly eliminates” them.

8. The Head Gamemaker and three others (could be anyone) are to decided who was the best tribute that day. Then the Head Gamemaker is to decide if they want to hurt the tribute or help them.
   -The Head Gamemaker can give the tribute:

                                   ~Another marker
                                   ~Immunity for the day
                                   ~A “nest of tracker jackers” (A 5 minute time frame where the tribute can wound their target and their target’s allies as long as the tribute and target are at least in the same room)
                                   ~A “Mockingjay” (The Head Gamemaker can tell the tribute who is trying to kill them)
                                           ~ “Camouflage” (The tribute must remain inactive for the rest of the day; the tribute can still be killed but they are not aloud to kill their target)
                                   ~”Foxface” ( The tribute is aloud to take away another tributes “nightlock”)

9. When the game is down to five or less tributes, the Gamemaker can bring back all (or less) dead tributes as “Mutts”
   - The Mutts will be assigned the remaining tributes and can wound them but they cannot kill them.
   
   
   

Happy Hunger Games and may the odds be ever in your favor!

So I was thinking while looking through an Alexander Ludwig blog and…

What if Cato stayed? If he wasn’t mauled by the mutts and stuck with Katniss and Peeta. What if he ended up in the whole mess with having to be in the Hunger Games again, would he kill everyone like the rest of the tributes or would he be apart of District 13’s plan.

I feel like if he had to chose, he would have fought with district 13 but he would agree with Gale on everything. I could also picture him being there for Katniss when Peeta was hijacked and Gale was being a prick. Like making jokes about how he tried to kill her and how far they’ve come…

Food for though.

indeed Peeta, indeed.

To be honest

At first I didn’t like the idea of Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss… She didn’t look like Katniss, she didn’t sound how I imagined Katniss to sound…
Then I watched more interviews, looked at more pictures and even looked at other actresses being looked at for the role.

Jennifer Lawrence is the best actress to play the role of Katniss, she can easily have the piercing eyes and rawness of Katniss.
