I saw this on twitter and I’m not sure about the “felt alone” part. I’m sure Effie, on some level, feels for Haymitch and the tributes year after year but alone might not be the right word for what she might’ve felt (I could be wrong tho, I need to reread the books). But what are your thoughts?

I’ve always been confused about why Gale was willing to go so far in his refusal to take money from Katniss in Catching Fire. Also I want to say, this is no hate to Gale.

He’s working 6 days a week and his family still struggles with food insecurity. I understand Gale is stubborn and too proud to take money from the capital (through Katniss). I can believe he would refuse her help, to a point. It became unbelievable when Katniss says that Gale’s little brother, Rory, has signed up for tesserae.

I don’t believe his character would put his siblings’ lives in direct danger this way. Especially when it’s completely unnecessary. Katniss even says in the same sentence that Rory signing up for tesserae is something “Gale can’t even speak about.” His pride can’t possibly be worth more to him than the protection of his family.

I got to watch Catching Fire on a big screen and I won’t shut up about it until everybody knows (yes i’m boasting)

Mine:

“Katniss’ story was actually all about Haymitch this entire time, and she had no value besides being a vessel for his traumas or something that “he created” for the purpose to fulfill his promise to Lenore Dove”

What if I tell you that Haymitch’s impact to “establish” Katniss as somebody was like 20% and even there he barely did anything for her, Peeta or the previous 23 tributes to which he was implied to be neglectful to until a literal “multiple ghosts in one” girl arrived, and he then proceeded to treat her like crap. And the fandom’s many cases of giving him all the credit for Katniss’ achievements is also very much disrespectful of her character.

Personally so over with Katniss’ character being muddled or her accomplishments dismissed all in favor of uplifting Haymitch.

(NOTE THAT THE PAGE DOES NOT WORK TO ACTUALLY BUY THEM, BUT THE THEATERS ALREADY HAVE IT READY) On Google, they already have posted showtimes and dates for early access tickets. Also, I’m guessing we’re going to get one final trailer with the phrase “Get Tickets Now” since every movie does that. SO NEW CONTENT!! We’re one month away from the movie, so it’s reasonable for them to drop it next week.

Confirmed PLF Formats:

IMAX
Dolby Cinema
PRIME at AMC
SCREENX (first in franchise)

This means that they are definitely dropping sometime next week, along with the main movie tickets because I’ve never seen a movie drop early access and main tickets separately. My guess is Monday or Tuesday!!!

Mckenna Grace is being awarded the spotlight award (for sunrise on the Reaping), while Joseph Zada will be there for Variety's "top 10 actors to watch out for" recognition event.

Rewatching Catching Fire for the first time since reading SOTR and PHEWWWW it hits so much harder this go around

That being said, I would love a book of Mags winning her games

The scene where she walks into the poison fog takes me out every single time

Haymitch was right, she is a wonderful lady

"It's so lovely to be home."
Back in Sydney to promote The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, Joseph Zada reflects on returning home and spending time with his family and friends.
Joseph recalls being at Bondi Junction when he first saw a huge display for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire inside the shopping centre, before begging his mum to take him to see the film. Years later, he has returned to Australia as the actor bringing young Haymitch Abernathy to the screen.
He also speaks warmly about the support he has received at home, sharing that Australians are incredibly supportive of their own and describing the country as a beautiful, blissful and special place.

I guess it’s time to replay the Hunger games playlist on Spotify now that I think of it , I really like Animal :)

Any other suggestions?

I guess I'm just failing to see the relation between the song and SotR. I'm not one that thinks every soundtrack song has to be Can't Catch Me Now in terms of 1:1 symbolism, but with most of the previous soundtracks, you can at least piece together a general theme that ties back to the movie it's for. Black Stars (while not a bad song, I don't think) just... doesn't really feel connected to the story in any way? I've gone over the lyrics a few times now, and maybe it's just too abstract for me to see.

I would love to hear other opinions/analysis on the song!

Step aside Peenis, Magno and Drusilla are THE Hunger Games power couple

I chapter 27 she thinks “having, yet again, to say my final goodbyes to the handful of people who still maintain a hold on my heart. The prospect of facing my mother, who will now be entirely alone in the world, decides it.”

Is she saying if she didn’t take the pill, she would have to look at her mother as she herself is tried and executed, thus leaving her alone anyway? So it’s better to take the pill and do it herself? Regardless, her mother would’ve been alone in the end anyway, no? Why did thinking of her mother help her decide to go?

please answer me, to those who have read the book, does haymitch never knew Loulou's real name? since there's been Loulou's body double who repeats her name, how does everyone says haymitch never knew Louella's name
