Week 47 - The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

Photo Credit: IMDB

I want purple eyebrows like Caesar. But, not his teeth. They were BLINDING.

I want Effie's coffee filter dress (I can't find a picture, but she wears it on the train). And this one. Basically any dress except the butterfly dress - it just wouldn't work on me.
  • What made me choose this movie?
    • Read the books and saw the first one at midnight on premier night with my Jackyard ladies - it was only natural to continue! I'm sure this will continue to Mockingjay Part 1 in November 2014 and Part 2 in November 2015.
  • Describe this movie in one word. JUST ONE.
    • Intense.
  • Would I recommend it to a friend (or talk ad nauseum with my friends about it)?
    • Recommend? YES.
    • Talk ad nauseum? Yes - my lovely book club that I went with (Anna & Phokeng - we missed you Mollie & Cheryl!) mentioned going to dinner just to talk about the movie.
  • Did I look anyone or anything up from the movie on IMDB or Wikipedia?
    • No need, since they announced every character over the past year. Lynn Cohen (Magda from SATC and Golda Meir in Munich was Mags!
  • If I was trapped on a desert island, which character from this movie would I want to be trapped with and why?
    • PEETA. Best ever. Even though I think Finnick would be better to have around - he'd catch us fish and use his trident to protect us (which really only makes me think of this).
  • Did this movie provoke any outward emotional reactions? Crying, laughing out loud, throwing crap across the room, etc./et al. (Warning - I cry A LOT.)
    • I jumped and screamed, even though I knew what was going to happen. And laughed. And cried.
  • Would I stop to watch this movie at any point during a showing on TBS?
    • Yes.
  • Would I buy it on sale at Target for $5 or less (or even splurge on it full price)?
    • Probably not.
