Everybody Went To See The Hunger Games This Weekend

Yes, I was one of the 10 trillion assholes who waited 90 minutes to see The Hunger Games (not to be confused with New York Fashion Week). Yes, I was also that asshole who threw a not-so-secret side-eye and an under the breath "stupid cunt" at the people in front of me whose group of friends magically showed up to join them in front of the line ten seconds before they let us in. (Note: That "stupid cunt" was really meant for me, because I'm mad that I didn't have friends who waited 90 minutes in line for me.) You were probably one of those assholes in line with me, because EVERYBODY went to see that Hongray shit this weekend.

Deadline says that THG beat the sparkle out of the Twatlight Saga by earning $214.25 million internationally ($155 million domestically), making it the third biggest opening of all time behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 and The Dark Knight. The last Twatlight movie opened with $138 million. That calmness you just felt was the universe sighing over the fact that every Twihard has stopped creaming...for now. Here's this weekend's top 10:

1. The Hunger Games - $155 million
2. 21 Jump Street - $21.3 million
3. Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax 3D - $13.1 million
4. John Carter 3D - $5 million
5. Act Of Valor - $2 million
6. Project X - $1.9 million
7. A Thousand Words - $1.9 million
8. October Baby - $1.7 million
9. Safe House - $1.3 million
9. Journey 2 - $1.3 million

HA @ John Carter.

For the most part, I liked The Hongray Games, but mostly because the dude across the aisle from me provided me with priceless moments like shouting "DAMN BITCH" when Katmess schooled her mother. The movie I imagined in my head while reading the book was a lot better, but that's because I pictured RuPaul as Ru, Gayle King as Gale (the movie Gale sucked) and The Silver Fox as Foxface. But you know, the people who saw John Carter probably had a better time than I did. Because the only reason to buy a ticket to John Carter is if you and your fuck piece need a private, empty and dark place to get down. Any theater showing John Carter can provide that, because nobody went to see that shit.

And here's a few ultra exciting pictures of Jennifer Lawrence buying coffee or tea or whatever at Whole Foods in Santa Monica.

Jennifer is adorable and I'm glad they didn't go with some skinny trick.

I ADORED Elizabeth Banks as Effie!! I loved the costumes of the entire movie. I want an Effie wig!!

And RUE, omg I want a little Rue princess of my own. Truly adorable!!

On the one hand I agree that Jennifer Lawrence is a bit to womanly shaped to be playing A) a 16 year old and B) somebody who has been starving. But on the other hand since the character is a role model to so many young girls I am glad that don't have some anorexic stick like Kiera Knightly or something in the role.

Still, if I did that casting I'd have gone with Hailee Steinfeld

Haha, she is a pretty girl but she does look like a young Squinty Zellweger.

You guys are right. A skinny chick would have been prefect in Precious. What the fuck do I know.

The producers wanted attractive leads. Otherwise, yes there are countless others who could have looked more the part. Tbh though, I wouldn't want to see Lawrence all gaunt and sickly-looking. It's not The Machinist for goodness sake! ;)

♥---♥---♥
░░░░☺♪☼♫ ░░░░

Fo real, near the beginning of the book I think the character even says she looks healthier than most people in her position?

I'll probably end up seeing the movie after all the hoopla has died down, I'm not even trying to deal with a movie theatre full of tweens.

Anyway it doesn't matter to me one way or the other, Jennifer Lawrence seems to be a good actress and we haven't seen pics of her sucking on a crackpipe or Fez's peen and that's good enough for me.

WTF?!

Jennifer Lawrence is just the right fuckin' size. She is not anorexic, she looks healthy, and I am glad they did not make her starve herself considering all the tweens going to see this shit that will want to emulate her in some way, shape, or form. Thank GOD the producers thought about that and didn't read this fuckin' thread, for example!

I am definitely Team Lawrence on this one. I don't have to ever see a single frame of any of these Hunger Games movies to know that any actor with any damn sense knows that you have to pay the bills at some time in your career, so more power to her. It doesn't take anything from her acting skills.

"Battle Royale? Never heard of it." If that's not the greatest piece of fiction to come out of Ms. Collins I don't know what is. To top it all off 12 districts = 12 (not 10) FEMA zones, make of that what you will. I'd give it a 'B', despite the fact that it's a rather unoriginal propaganda piece.

I did not fucking call her chubby, I was responding to the comment that someone said where she said she would rather look chubby on screen and normal in person than starve herself to hollywood standards. I would rather she actually look like the role, but whatever.

--------

I was just coming on here to defend you, Stoney! Nobody did, even in the article I was referring to nobody had called her chubby. She referred to herself that way, and only in the sense that she wouldn't mind looking that way, not that she thought she even looked fat/chubby, etc.

She does sort of have that puckered mouth/plump cheeks thing (especially when you see her talking/acting) like a young Squinty Zellweger, so I could see how the crazy weight-obsessed people of the world would say she looks chubby.

If you want to see a GREAT movie that has Min-sik Choi in it, go rent I Saw The Devil. I saw it when it first came out and it was sooooo good. Most excellent story line, lots of action, suspense and plenty of gore and violence...just like how I prefer my movies. And the acting is so good.

=========

Hollywood will fuck it up, the same way that they did "Let the Right One In," the same way that they did "The Grudge."

"I Saw the Devil"is an excellent film. Also check "The Chaser." I have seen both twice, so excited to share it with anyone.

CHECK OUT "MOSS."

Oh god, don't even compare this to Twishit. I made myself read the Twilight series because I generally like fantasy fiction but damn. It was terrible. Meyer can't write for shit and I hated every character. The Hunger games weren't the best books I've ever ready (Harry Potter is much better overall) but they were decently written and gripping.

As for the movies, I thought Hunger Games was better than any Harry Potter (none of them did justice to the books, but I think that may have been an impossible task). And Hunger Games was a genuinely good film, versus the Twilight films, the last of which made me gaffaw out lout in the movie theater (when Edward breaks the bed while fucking Bella and also when Bella is wasting away so obviously and then drinking blood). Twilight is only tolerable in the SO STUPID, SO BAD it ends up being almost campy sense.

The BEST fantasty fiction series translated to film/tv is Game of Thrones, though. The books all kick so much ass and so far the series is nailing it.

Looking chubby on screen should not even be an option when your role is a starving girl.

Now I see why Jennifer Lawrence had reservations about making this movie. She's been flying under the radar and known as a great young actress, but now she needs to make some MONEY since she hasn't been in any blockbusters and now she is being vilified in the press.

I am definitely Team Lawrence on this one. I don't have to ever see a single frame of any of these Hunger Games movies to know that any actor with any damn sense knows that you have to pay the bills at some time in your career, so more power to her. It doesn't take anything from her acting skills.

she is very pretty. skin to die for. she looks a little Asian. not that there's anything wrong with that. broadens the roles she's up for i guess, so that's cool.

-------

I think she's off somehow and don't find her attractive. Like people have said, she's got a young Renee Zellwegger vibe--which is not a good thing IMO. Hopefully she doesn't bow to industry pressure and diet herself into a stick figure like Squinty has. *shudder*

As far as her weight goes, I do think she was too healthy for the role of Katniss (especially from the back--they also could not make her olive-skinned no matter how much bronzer they put on), but regarding the actress, I love her interviews and her attitude about weight in Hollywood. She has said, I would rather look a little "chubby" on screen and normal in person.

I also would NOT compare her to the bitchy KStew regarding acting/sense of entitlement/attitudes toward fame, etc. Jennifer has said multiple times that she is grateful that she gets to do something she loves, gets paid well for it, gets lots of time off, and not everybody gets that opportunity in life. When have you heard Kristen say anything but "Woe is me! Nobody will leave me alooonnnnneeee."

The major acting dud in this movie was Josh Hutcherson as Pita Bread. I also did not love Donald Sutherland as President Snow as I was getting more of a Santa Claus vibe from him when I should've been getting evil dictator.

My problem is that she doesn't look near thin enough in the movie to pull off the starvation factor, which was kinda fucking important part of the story. Other actresses would have slimmed down way more. Her cheeks and body look way too full and healthy. Okay, flame me now lol.
--------------------------
You're right. Although I was happy that they picked someone who can act and does not appear to be an asshole, the look isn't right for the story. I guess it was too hard to cast emaciated looking people with acting ability. I think this chick will handle fame much better than Kristen Stewart.

Stoney's picture

I made the mistake of reading the plot synopsis for each book on wiki after I finished the first book. Kinda ruined shit for me. Don't do that.

I listened to the HG on audiobook a while back - it's not a bad story .. just enough to hold interest, not much more.. Started the second book, but didn't finish it yet .. I may pick it up again, but I'm finding I don't really care whether she ends up with Pita Bread, or Gayelle.

Our local papers are all over this, because the Collins bitch that wrote it, actually lives in my hometown, about 5 miles down the road from me, which I DID NOT KNOW until just this weekend LOL. I've probably passed her shopping in the local BIG Y and never knew it.

I'll just wait for the streaming version on Netflix, in a couple months or so.

i liked the movie. can't say i loved it because the book, as always, so much better and maybe my expectations were a little high. i know they don't want another Twilight love triangle, but there was no chemistry at all between Katniss and Peeta.

Still on the fence of whether or not to see it, but I have several FB friends who totally bought into the hype. Then there's my HS English teacher (yes, I'm FB friends with my HS English teacher - shut it horz!!) who rants about the book and the movie like it stars one of the Kartrashins or someone who killed her puppeh friend. Actually pretty funny to get her POV.

And yes, I kinda want to see John Carter as the star is so HAWT - nom, nom, nom.

Really. How much of the initial stages of the book were taken up by establishing the fact that malnutrition is central to character motivation?

It's central to the character of Katniss, and the plot. This girl is WAY too healthy for me to suspend disbelief.

When something is uber popular like this I feel it has something to say to our society or about our society. I didn't read the books or see the film (yet) but this movie appears to be about our future if things don't straighten up. We'll all be starving and killing each other to stay alive. People may love the book and movie but the whole thing sounds like a scary future to me. :(
