Help, I'm turning into a fangirl! D:

Updates


It's true, I'm turning into a fangirl! :noes:
Anyone who follows me on Tumblr may have noticed an increase in Hunger Games- and Korra-related posts, with a dash of Once Upon a Time and Game of Thrones.

First thing to gush about: The Hunger Games!
I'll try to keep it as spoiler-free as I can but the movie. was. amazing. They captured the feel of the book really well and they even added some scenes to better show how the capitol functions and how the Hunger Games work and asfdafdaga- *flails*

The scene of the reaping was heart-breaking, just as in the book and I have to say that the actress they cast for Effie Trinket also did an amazing job! c:
It all just looked so surreal how she could still repeat "Happy Hunger Games!" over and over whilst the entire district just stood there in dread.
Then the scenes in the Capitol where just how I imagined them. The Capitol itself looked amazing and I also loved how they paid attention to the outfits of the people who lived there. So colourful and strange!

The Hunger Games themselves were also filmed beautifully and the scene with Rue was just ... MY CREYES. Q n Q
They did change some details in the end and some parts were a bit difficult to understand if you hadn't read the book, but overall the movie was top-notch.
And I loved the "THAT IS MAHOGANY"-scene. :'D



Next up: KORRA.
I've seen the two episodes that they pre-released and I can't wait until the rest of the show airs!

They've written the main-character in a way that's just awesome (love her attitude!) and Aang and Katara's kids and grand-kids are just awesome.
If you haven't seen the episodes yet: see them! Now!



Last but not least: do you have a contest or a project going on right now that's related to avatars / icons / handhelds?
Or do you have some interesting news I should know about?

They're already out there on the interwebs, though. You should make some time and see them when you can! :giggle:
And I'm sure you'll love the movie, though I'll try to not spoil too much of it for you.

:iconeeeeeplz: :love: The movie was amazing, lovely cast, fantastic backgrounds (especially the control room, I love that bit) and sassy costumes, especially Effie Trinket's. I was only a tad bit disappointed by the short interaction between Rue and Katniss but that would be because of the time limit for a movie. :giggle: Still like the book better though! I'm itching to see the cast for the second book, what with all the new tributes. :eager:

Same here: the book was fantastic, but I loved how they managed to capture the feel of the book perfectly in the movie and with such an amazing cast!
The scene with Rue just made me bawl, though. So sad. D:

And I can't wait either for the second movie to be released. It'll hopefully be as awesome as this one!

:giggle: Do you read a lot of books? I'm always keeping an eye open for book recommendations!

Yes, yes, possibly the best book adaptation. :love:

:crying: Me too. Rue is one of my favourite characters, though it's incredibly hard to choose a favourite, especially since Collins is so adept at developing characters!

Me too! I'm on my toes, eager to find out the cast of Catching Fire, especially the new tributes, like Finnick Odair. <33 Which book is your favourite? :aww:

I haven't been reading as much lately as I would like to, but generally I do read a lot, yes. :la:
Recommendations ... Oh! You should definitely read "Goodbye to Berlin" by Christopher Isherwood if you have the time.
It's about the rise of fascism in Germany and how it affects the daily lives of for instance a gay couple, a Jewish family etc. It's a really captivating story.

My favorite book from the series is still the first book. The second book isn't bad, but I have fond memories for the one that got me hooked on the series. :giggle:
