YOU GUYYYYYS

IMO this doll is flawless (BOOOOOW) except possibly for the likeness, but Tonner faces don’t photograph well, for some reason, and almost always look better in person, and I intend to save my pennies and look into this personally. SHE HAS A TINY MOCKINGJAY PIN, I CAN’T HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF HER AWESOME.

Also, there are more Vampire Diaries dolls and a Disney Rapunzel and Deathly Hallows Ron Weasley and a steampunk Wonder Woman and Awkwardly Timed Wedding Bella Swan, if you are interested.

Francis Lawrence Offered The Hunger Games Sequel, Catching Fire

@HitFixDaniel: If you remember Francis Lawrence’s handling of alt-reality dystopia on “Kings,” he makes more sense for “Catching Fire.”

@jenyamato: I prefer to think of Francis Lawrence as the guy who directed Gaga’s “Bad Romance” video. That helps. #catchingfire 

And won a Grammy for it, no less.

@particle_p: OH WHY DIDN’T YOU SAY SO?

(Wow… he actually did a lot of well-known music videos. )

@cleolinda: Heh. He also did Constantine and I Am Legend, I think? Water for Elephants was sweet.

[Several magical moments later]

@cleolinda: YOU GUYS, WE WERE TALKING ABOUT ACTORS FRANCIS LAWRENCE HAS CAST IN PREVIOUS MOVIES

@cleolinda: YOU GUYS, HE HAS EXPERIENCED THE HOLY PRESENCE OF SWINTON

~*~ @cleolinda: RT @particle_p: SWINTON could only be Coin. ~*~

@esedia: OMG SWINTON IS MY EVERYTHING

@cleolinda: NOW THAT THIS THOUGHT EXISTS NOTHING WILL EVER BE THE SAME

[Description for image below: Will Ferrell’s face shopped onto the right side of a plain-black-background-and-flaming-logo Hunger Games poster. I’m not sure if you should focus on this while you listen, or simply close your eyes and let your imagination take over.]

@cleolinda: That is actual Will Ferrell. This is some Funny or Die shit. That can’t be—WHO DISCOVERED THIS?!

@alliancesjr: I don’t know, but the moment I get a DVD I’m going to do an audio rip and get every single one of her lines.

@cleolinda: (I’m now imagining Will Ferrell shouting that John C. Reilly made him look weak. “He made you look DESIRABLE!”)

ETA/CONTINUED:

@alliancesjr: And yet it’s still Woody Harrelson.

@cleolinda: WELL OBVIOUSLY

@cleolinda: (Who’s Effie? Jane Lynch?)

(You’re welcome.)


@particle_p: @cleolinda We should try speeding up Will Ferrell by 33% too!

[SEVERAL MINUTES LATER]

@cleolinda: We’re now trying to see, if you speed up Talladega Nights, if you get Jennifer Lawrence praying to Dear Lord Baby Jesus.

intellectualdandruff:

samanthasays:

Slow down Katniss by 25% and what do you get? Will Ferrell.

I’ll never get over how funny this is. 

Someone get J-Law to say “And here’s the thing- It’ll give us so much extra space in our room to do activities”

‘The Hunger Games’: Mattel debuts Katniss Everdeen Barbie — EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK | PopWatch | EW.com

Now, EW is happy to share the exclusive first look at the iconic heroine after being filtered through Mattel’s Barbie-making factory. This Katniss isn’t wearing her reaping dress — instead, and rather fittingly, she’s wearing what she wore into the Games [black windbreaker with red trim, black t-shirt, and gray cargo pants] and comes complete with a miniature mockingjay pin, [silver] bow and arrow[s], forest-tromping boots, and that one, plump braid.

And does not look shit like Jennifer Lawrence, FYI.

@cleolinda: Admit it, Effie Trinket Barbie would be genius. RT @nprmonkeysee: Oh, look. Katniss Barbie. 

@makeitsuntory: I’ll buy Effie Barbie if she ever comes with a mahogany table.

[MAHHHHHHAHHHHHGANYYYYY]

@ZMarriott: I stand by my original statement: Katniss would burn that Barbie & roast squirrels over the flames.

@cleolinda: See, I think Barbie is the wrong medium for Katniss—for the same reason it’s perfect for Effie.

@ZMarriott: Precisely. Some charas are just not cut out to be Barbie-fied. Ripley, Sarah Connor…Katniss. Doesn’t work.

@ZMarriott: I’d buy an Effie Trinket in a red hot moment, tho. 

@cleolinda: Honestly, an Effie Barbie sort of becomes a commentary on both Effie AND Barbie. That’s what I like about the idea.

@ZMarriott: Bc Effie would be *thrilled* by a Barbie of her - and Barbie wldn’t have any idea what they were saying about their company. Heh.

@cleolinda: I also like the idea that the inhuman Barbie proportions are something the Capitol fashionistas would get surgery to emulate.

@ZMarriott: LOL! ‘I love your earrings, Effie! Where did u get them?’ / ‘Oh, thank u! They’re my kidneys. They don’t fit under this corset’.

@cleolinda: “I didn’t ever want to wear anything but high heels anyway!”

@ZMarriott: “Now I can’t feel my feet at all - it’s like they’re completely dead! So convenient!”

Glen Weldon Recreates 'The Hunger Games' At Work · nprmonkeysee · Storify

Dayjob Hunger Game: The Education/Development alliance got Hold & Voicemail from Customer Service. The air smells of burnt flesh and toner.

Dayjob Hunger Game: Surly, the male tribute from Mailroom, is down, taken out by the sandwich. The female, Sullen, stands over him. Wailing.

Dayjob Hunger Game: Heads of Communications tributes FAQ & Flack on pikes by 3rd flr bathroom. Glitch’s handiwork. “Soon,”I whisper. “Soon.”

@allynorris: His burnt bread brings all the girls to the yard, and he’s like, “it’s better than squirrels”. #TeamPeeta

@scbecker: Damn right, it’s better than yours. He could teach you but he needs to retain the advantage to kill you in the arena.

Song lyric parodies: GO.

Interview: The Hunger Games Director Gary Ross - ComingSoon.net

Since someone who reblogged a clip noticed this—I thought it was interesting:

ComingSoon: One of the first things that struck me about the look of “The Hunger Games” is how you break the 180 degree rule in a very stylistic manner. That’s not an easy thing to pull off and it achieves a very distinct look in the final film. Can you talk about why you chose to take that approach?

Gary Ross: Thank you! You know, both my editors, Juliette Welfling and Stephen Mirrione, are tremendously comfortable with that. We also cut from people to the same people. There are like 300 jump cuts in the movie, too. You’re not supposed to cut from a person to themselves. We break a lot of rules, but it’s all very, very conscious and all within a style that we talked about in advance. It keeps the pace of the movie going and keeps the movie a little bit destabilized, as Katniss is. I love jumping the axis. I think that’s an absolute blast. But you have to do it in a way where you still maintain geography. It’s very astute of you to notice. We do that a lot, but it’s all very well thought-out.

There’s also some interesting stuff about the sound designer, who also did Drive.

@SmartBitches: I think there’s a movie coming out. Something about gaming while hungry? Maybe it’s about Cheetos.

@cleolinda: I believe it’s the Doritos Hunger Bowl XXVII.

@SmartBitches: Brought to you by Ford?

@cleolinda: By the Ford Focus. Ford Focus: When you need to focus, focus on a Ford. And now back to you in the death arena, Caesar!

@SmartBitches: “Side curtain airbags would have been no help on that hit.”

@cleolinda: “Put your hands together for Taylor Swift and the Tesserae Dancers in the Snickers Half-Time Show!”
