Ok, which parts?? I LOVED the additional scenes! I loved Seneca Crane. The riot in eleven, that choked me up more than Rue, probably because I didn’t expect it.

So, I cried at the Reaping, I cried saying bye to Prim. I cried when Rue died, I cried with riot in 11… I cried. A lot. I pretty much left that theatre looking like I was in a fight, hair was all messed up because my ass kept falling asleep so I would have to move and adjust, black lines down my face from makeup. HOT MESS.
I love how they showed the control room in the Capitol. I think they did a good job with the mutts (I was worried about that). I have a question was the part of Peeta throwing the big metal ball in the book? I didn’t remember that at all.
PS Even though I am warming up to Peeta, I am still Team Gale.

Pshhh how could you not be team gale?
I expected to cry more and did not. Maybe because I was bracing myself for it.
I loved seeing the control room.

Yea… people didn’t actually READ and ASSUMED that she looked like Prim because she reminded Katniss of her sister.
Remind and LOOK LIKE read differently, they also do not mean the same things.
But you know what they say about assuming…

Well I guess that’s how the saying went.
She never talks about races so it’s all inferred, but that far into the future, I’m sure people have other things to worry about. Plus, if you’re district is cut off from other districts, much less the rest of the world… what’s your field of reference?
After reading the books a few times, I wondered if Betee and Wiress had Asian blood by the way they were described though.

LMFAO
“Finnick is incredibly handsome. Really, he’s practically a joke of physical perfection — in Catching Fire, Collins describes him as a muscular, tan, bronze-haired dude with sea green eyes. So he’s either a merman or an Australian. But unlike Australians, Finnick’s beauty masks a bleak inner life: After winning his Hunger Games, he makes a life for himself as a high-class prostitute in the Capitol. It’s a tricky doucheboat-with-a-heart-of-gold role, requiring an actor who can be threatening, but also melancholy, but who can also pull off Finnick’s Caligula-worthy “Golden Net” outfit, which seems destined to test Catching Fire‘s PG-13 rating more than any kid-killing montage.
In Catching Fire, Finnick is about 24. But since the teenage Katniss and Peeta are played by Jennifer Lawrence (21) and Josh Hutcherson (19), it seems likely that Lionsgate would be willing to stretch the age range into the late ’20s or early ’30s. It seems to me that there’s one actor in Hollywood that’d be perfect for the role…but unfortunately, Chris Hemsworth happens to be the older brother of Liam, and it’s a well-known fact that the space-time continuum will implode if two Hemsworths appear in the same movie together.”

You know who was meant for Finnick, but acted 20 years too early? William Zabka. Aka Johnny from Karate kid… although maybe he’s not pretty enough…

Or this guy back when:

But, I think it won’t matter?
It will be an Rpattz thing all over again, a Jhutcherson and Jlawrence thing
Everything will think they are all wrong for the part.
And after professional grooming, tanning and colored contacts and a personal trainer everyone will drool over him and say he was only the perfect choice…
But as long as he CAN ACT, I think most people will be happy.
The rest is all trickery.

Would it be long enough? Do you want to write up something really long about the movie?
I think I wrote a really long one a while ago about the books themselves?
It was just going to be an aside how there were parts of the books I cried at more than the movie and different parts of the movie affected me.

I think it could be long enough, especially if you add pictures? You can also add the fan videos. The Rue and Katniss one from Mainstay Productions made me cry more than the movie.
