Lost Video Island

[KajaM]

Since these books have been recommended to me (thank you, Kat ), I thought I could give it a try.... and I'm loving them so far!!!!

I'm halfway through the first book. I did a lot of reading last Saturday and it was almost impossible to put it down! I kept on reading and reading and reading until I realized that it was getting really late and I had to stop.

Anyone else reading the books? Any thoughts on the movies?

Come and share some HG-love!

I loved the first book but haven't read the other two yet, ugh! I can't wait to, though! And I'm definitely looking forward to the movie, Jennifer Lawrence is awesome! I adored her in X-Men: First Class and I can't wait to see her as Katniss!

[KajaM]

I was a bit like that at first when I read that Lenny Kravitz will be playing Cinna. I thought of Cinna as being more... hmm... "gay", I reckon. I know it's such a cliché but the stylists at German's Next Topmodel all seem to be gay so can you blame me?
The more I kept reading, the more I could picture Kravitz as Cinna though.

I love the humour in this book, like Katniss thinking how much she likes her stylists' team. "They're such complete idiots!"

[KajaM]

Oooh, that looks awesome! Can't wait to see it in high quality (I couldn't understand so much). But it definitely looks great! Looking forward to the movies!

Good catch, Kat!

HD Trailer!!!!! SO EXCITED!! THe katniss/prim stuff looks epic!!

[KajaM]

Thanks for the link! So re-posting this on FB right now!

Yeah, it does! The whole drawing of the names-scene looks so amazing! And there was a glimpse at Rue and Cinna. The last scene, when they're entering the arena, looks amazing, too!

[littleton_pace]

And the millisecond of Haymitch!! need more!

[Polarbear]

It sounds an interesting concept. I'm actually reading the Game of Thrones books at the moment but should be a series to check out in the future Jennifer Lawrence is hot

[HobbitRockGod]

I am SOOO EXCITED!! The trailer looks amazing and all the casting was perfect - I wasn't sure about Cinna at first but he looks awesome! And Jennifer, Josh, and Liam are perfect!

[rbexter93]

The trailer looks so good! I think I hated pretty much all of the casting when it was revealed but now I can see everyone in costume it is seeming much better for me.

I hadn't even heard that he had been cast as Cinna so I was making that face, too, when I read that. But seeing him in action in the trailer, he looks really good! It's pretty much usually like that, though, you hear who they cast for a part and think, "Um, that's NOTHING like how I pictured them from the book!" but then when you get to see them in costume in action, they just sort of make it work!

And it's also cool that Lenny Kravitz is in this with Jennifer considering that Lenny's daughter Zoe played Angel alongside Jennifer's Raven in X-Men: First Class! And of course, Liam Hemsworth who's playing Gale is Chris Hemsworth's (aka Thor) brother! [/six degrees of fandom separation, the Aislynn fangirl version]

I had NO Idea that Zoe was Angel. I liked her in that film. I LOVED that film.

I think Jennifer Lawerence is going places; and I still can't believe I haven't seen Winter's Bone; it looks really good.

I've not read the books; but what I like is they really haven't showed us anything in the books; we see the start up more then the middle or anything from the end. We see her going into the games; so I like they are keeping a lot hidden instead of giving us one of those "And I've seen the mvoie trailers."

The cast looks good.

[HobbitRockGod]

You DEFINITELY have to read the books, Brooke. But yeah, I like that they basically just showed stuff from the first half and ended it right when they entered the arena!! Aaah! I'm so excited.

[Brooke]

I have the first book I just haven't read it yet. There's books I have on my list before that one.
