thank yo, I love all the colors combined with text :)) My skateboard sure was as cool as these :DD

This was only one of several displays, the only one I could get without the clothing also showing.

The concert was amazing, the second we've attended that was 'gaming' related. I hope we do more :D

If you like a narrative set in a dystopian future, the story takes place in a post-holocaust North America, revolving around kids with revolution not too far off, you'll like these books. As young adult novels go, they are very well written.

thank you!! and such great memories surrounding each of them :))

I like your icon, very festive :D

I'm not sure what changes you mean, everything I've heard has been extremely positive, I now our responses were, except for the idiots who were upset (seriously???) that Rue is black, the actress couldn't be more perfect IMO :D

What have you heard?

You're right except the cornucopia isn't square, it's angular, made of metal, sculptural and huge, didn't bother us at all.

Lauren was bothered by the dogs faces but I decided that trying to do 21 dogs with the faces of dead kids we hardly knew would have been very confusing, and particularly unsettling to the younger kids in the audience, the five or six vicious dogs they did do was enough for me.

I was bothered with Katniss getting the pin a different way but not so much that it detracted from the film. And as for Hamish, I don't remember that so I obviously didn't miss it.

The thing I missed that wasn't included was how District 11 still sent the bread intended for Rue to Katniss but they showed the district rebelling instead, moving that arc forward, which worked fine. Still, I could hear the sniffles all around me as Katniss sang to Rue as she died, it was enough.

No movie can ever be a direct translation of a book, very little hunting is shown but enough is to prove her prowess at it and what Gale means to her and her to him. I was surprised at how many in the theater hadn't read the books, you could tell because of the way they would gasp or react obviously not knowing what was coming next, mostly adults accompanying their kids, still they all knew exactly how Gale felt when he would watch Katniss with Peeta on the screens.

This is one of the best adaptations I've seen. People can pick anything apart or they can enjoy what it is for itself. I watched David's response since he hadn't read the books and he thoroughly enjoyed himself, in fact was surprised by how much he enjoyed himself. Lauren and I having read the books thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Enough for me.

If you ever do see it, let me know what you think.

Sweetie, thanks for short. I look forward to your review :D

guess what? even though you deleted the previous four comments, I got them all in my email so...guess what? I'm going to read them all, have already read the first and very informative one, and then, I'm going to get back to you ;DD
