You know what's ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING? There are actually critics saying that the only bad thing about J-Law is that she was not skinny enough. ummmm, way to screw young girls up even more. even some fans were saying this. here's a young actress who doesn't look like shes starving to death and people call her "not skinny enough" such bull****. I'd rather have a VERY capable actress than a bad actress who looks the part. J-LAW was a great choice. plus, Katniss was a hunter. she's gonna have more food than the rest of district 12. also, when its comes to movie adaptations, I honestly feel like people need to separate them. It's a movie that will have the same characters and plot, but it's not gonna give you the same feeling because of a person's imagination. as a movie though, I thought it was great. and it was 2.5 hours, they prob didn't feel like they could make it any longer since a lot of the fans are younger.

she's beautiful the way she is! and she was the perfect fit for Katniss for the movie

I think my favorite part from JLaw and though it was very short, was when she was screaming at her mom. it was just really powerful. I love how they did the flashbacks. it almost made it more sad. unless thats how it was in the books. I havent read them in a year so i forgot some parts. I'm glad I read them far in advanced. It made it more enjoyable being able to forget every detail.

The Rue scene is the most powerful part of the movie.

 

[Grace_Of_God]

^ it is, but i dont think the lead up with Rue is very good. Cause ill totally admit i had tears in my eyes in that scene haha

 

[Grace_Of_God]

how am i spending my day? watching Jennifer Lawrence interviews....so down to earth and hilarious.

I just want to give a pat on the back to this thread for getting behind this girl in "Winter's Bone". when she wasnt in a franchise and wasnt famous. i hate to brag, but we've got a good eye.

seriously, just want to be her best friend lol

 

[Grace_Of_God]

My night consists of "The Social Network" and "Midnight in Paris"...thank you cable provider for making "Starz" and "Encore" free this weekend.

 

[AIgrl06]

Oh yeah. I remember watching Winter's Bone and thinking she was really great. We definitely have an amazing eye, haha. But I never would have thought she'd do a franchise next, lol... but so glad she did!

 

[Grace_Of_God]

^ yeah, my friend just told me she was here for the "Winters Bone" premiere 2 years ago, because i guess it premiered at our main film festival (which ill be attending next friday, since the movie I worked on last year will be the opening feature....shameless self promotion) so im super bummed i missed the chance to meet her before she was all famous and sh!t

 

[bigbluegrl23]

Oh yeah. I remember watching Winter's Bone and thinking she was really great. We definitely have an amazing eye, haha. But I never would have thought she'd do a franchise next, lol... but so glad she did!

I think Jennifer said it took her three days to decide if she wanted to do this big of a movie bc she's so used to doing mostly indies.

OK, so this is a little bit off topic but I don't think it warrants its own thread, and I still want to talk about it because it's amazing news.

Amy Adams is playing the Baker's Wife this summer in Into the Woods?! Ahhhh!!! :heart: Have you guys seen this musical? It's amazing, and the Baker's Wife is hilarious. Check it out on Netflix. I need to make another trip to New York this summer. :yes:

Amy Adams to Play 'Baker's Wife' in Shakespeare in the Park's INTO THE WOODS; Oliver Platt, Robert Joy Join Cast of AS YOU LIKE IT

I know this is supposed to be turned into a film soon, too (Rob Marshall, I think?).

 

[Grace_Of_God]

^ oh shiiiiiit I move to New York at the end of july/beginning of August.

The only version Ive seen of Into the Woods was my sisters high school performance of it lol. and that was forever ago. So I dont remember it well

 

[AIgrl06]

^I'm so jealous! I didn't know you were moving to New York! Lucky duck. Haha, you have no excuse not to see it. I genuinely think I'm going to try to go see this though, lol. I love this musical so much.

 

[Grace_Of_God]

^ haha yeah! Im ready to move for my career and it seems like New York is a better step than LA at the moment.

You should go see it!!!!!!! DO IT!!!

 

[AIgrl06]

Bahaha peer pressure! My only thing is convincing a friend to go six hours up to New York and then wait in line for twelve hours or more to see the play, lol. It's free though, so I might be able to convince someone. Hannah, if I end up coming up, we should go see the same show!

 

[Grace_Of_God]

^ SURE!!! but you have to go to New York first!! and hey car rides can be fun...tell your friends that!

 

[AIgrl06]

Haha, knowing me and my friends... we'll set out to go to New York and end up in Florida. Navigationally challenged, just a little bit. But yeah, they can sure be... fun! I'm going to do it, haha.

 

[Grace_Of_God]

^ LOL dont go to florida, because thats were I currently live. It sucks hahahaha

 

[AIgrl06]

Ahaha, we'll see! I always point people to a story when I was going to Richmond (south) from just south of DC, and I somehow ended up in the heart of NW DC. Is there a shrug smiley? I want to use it.

But seriously, I plan on coming to New York to see Into the Woods. I love how I went from "I might come..." to "I'm totally coming!!" in an hour's time, hah.
