The Hunger Games Premiere: Previews
So most of them looked fantastic, then we got to the final Twilight movie. So I thought I was quiet and I said “Dirty Whore” when Kristen Stewart went on the screen. Apparently I wasn’t. Everyone around me laughed and then you heard people whisper “what did she say?” and then more giggles.
Whoops.
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…
The Hunger Games
Just so you know, I painted every face in this poster. Effie’s time-consuming ‘cos I had to remove the details from her dress and also reduce some things on her wig. The flaming mockingjay’s also a painting in which I had to watch a tutorial on YouTube on how to paint those flames. The tut’s good so kudos to him! :-D
AGGGHHH can’t wait for this movie to premiere on March!

Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor!
Just stepping on the stage makes my breathing rapid and shallow. I can feel my pulse pounding in my temples. It’s a relief to get to my chair, because between the heels and my legs shaking, I’m afraid I’ll trip. Although evening is falling, the City Circle is brighter than a summer’s day. An elevated seating unit has been set up for prestigious guests, with the stylists commanding the front row. The cameras will turn to them when the crowd is reacting to their handiwork. A large balcony off a building to the right has been reserved for the Gamemakers. Television crews have claimed most of the other balconies. But the City Circle and the avenues that feed into it are completely packed with people. Standing room only. At homes and community halls around the country, every television set is turned on. Every citizen of Panem is tuned in. There will be no blackouts tonight.
Why isn’t this at my school.
OH.
MY.
LORD.
Everyone who has read Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games has a specific mental image of what this world and its characters should look like, especially certain crucial scenes like the opening ceremonies of the Games. Well, bravo, Gary Ross and company. In this exclusive photo from the moments just before their introduction, Cinna (Lenny Kravitz) readies a final flaming flourish to Peeta and Katniss’s black costumes. “This is one of those moments where Cinna’s character syncs up with the creativity of our costume designer Judianna Makovsky,” says Ross. (Makovsky earned Oscar nominations for her work on Ross’ previous movies Pleasantville and Seabiscuit.) “What Cinna was trying to do was create something that came out of District 12, out of a coal mining world, with a fresh, bold look to it. So Judianna went to this wonderful black reflective material that glistened like coal or graphite and would obviously work well in the Tribute parade where Katniss becomes the Girl on Fire.”
