the hunger games

(no subject)

I’ve just been talking about this on another forum- Avengers Assemble The Avengers comes out over here in a few days, but the UK release doesn’t have the Joss commentary. Or the 90-minute making-of (unless you buy it on Blu-Ray, from Sainsbury’s. In other news, Sainsbury’s still hasn’t delievered the exclusive-to-them copy of The Hunger Games that I ordered on next-day delivery two days ago). Or even the gag reel, apparently!

So you know what, I’m not buying it. I was looking really forward to it, but I’m not buying it. It isn’t bloody fair, to lose out just cos of living in the UK! There’d be an outcry if Doctor Who or Harry Potter was released in the US as only a vanilla edition…

If there was a way to watch it all legally on DVD I’d do it, but there isn’t. (Heck, I don’t even own a Blu-Ray player.) I’m just gonna download everything- film, commentaries, extras- burn it onto a DVD, knock up a nice cover, and watch that. I’ll make up the money by buying, I dunno, a stuffed Loki doll or something.

hey remember that time the ceo of warner brothers announced that movies with women as the lead never made any money

and then remember that time the hunger games became the highest-grossing non-sequel of all time

do you remember that

RE: the previous post…(in which Amandla Stenberg is classy in the face of idiocy)

Is anyone else REALLY FURIOUS about this whole incident, really really angry? The Hunger Games was awesome. Amandla was the best thing in it. She’s got a glittering career ahead of her, she’s so beautiful, she’s brilliant brilliant…and some TOTAL FUCKING IDIOTS are doing their best to ruin it for her. Because they don’t like her skin colour. It’s absolutely revolting and I am beyond livid that someone basically told a little girl that she was worth nothing, that they felt nothing at the thought of her dying.

And that’s not even getting into the stuff directed at Lenny, or Dayo. God, our society is really racist. It always has been, hasn’t it.

REBLOG TO SUPPORT RUE AND CINNA

Recently the actors who play Rue and Cinna have come under attack from Racist fans of the Hunger Games. Reblog if you support the casting of Amandla Stenberg, the adorable and talented actress who plays Rue, and Lenny Kravitz, the unquestionable genius who plays Cinna.

http://www.eonline.com/news/hunger_games_lenny_kravitz_amandla/304193?cmpid=sn-000000-twitterfeed-365-top_stories&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=twitterfeed_celebrities_top_stories&dlvrit=79438

omg just have all my supports i effing loved them so hardcore.

I THOUGHT RUE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE BLACK

AND IT’S LENNY. FUCKING. KRAVITZ.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME THIS IS THE BEST CASTING DECISION EVER.

pretty sure they’re also attacking dayo who plays thresh. :/

This is really, really horrible. Did you see the tweets directed at Amandla Stenberg? That’s a little girl and they’re throwing disgusting racial insults at her.

But…I find it interesting that this comes on the same day that a man was sent to prison for racially abusing Fabrice Muamba on Twitter. I wonder if any of those racist jackasses were from Britain, where it’s actually, y’know, illegal. Just wondering.

The Hunger Games: You won’t Rue the day you see this
The Hunger Games: A Cinna-matic experience you’ll never forget
The Hunger Games: A film to Marvel at
The Hunger Games: A Glimmer of hope for the movie industry
The Hunger Games: We Cato-ld you so
