HUNGER GAMES- MOVIE?

I'll set the scene. There I am, reading TeenVogue, putting off writing my BlogPost (no offense). And suddenly, I pass an article that catches my eye. Why? Because I see the best 3 words I've ever seen in teen vogue.

Hunger Games Movie.

You better not have already known about this and not told me. I can honestly say the Hunger Games are my second favorite series ever (the list goes Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, Junie B. Jones- don't mock me). Of course this is the best day of my entire life. I wasn't old enough to care that much when the Harry Potter series started. But now I can be one of those amazing die-hards who goes to the midnight showing. I can't possibly wait. I know it takesa long time to film a movie, even though it was supposed to be a 2011 release, especially one as complex and special-affects-needy as The Hunger Games. But until then, I can at least Google all the future cast of the movie.

Each member of the cast of The Hunger Games will need a special quality. And that's hunger. I bet you saw that coming. But they all know that they either win or die. They have to be pathetic and tired. They have to have a constant adrenaline pumping through them every day they spend in the arena. But Katniss especially. She is brave enough to take the place of someone she loves, her little sister, Primrose (Prim). I just hope these actors won't be  Hollywoody and spray tanned. I think everyone's going to be pissed if they are.

I've already looked at some of the cast and I'm midly dissapointed. But I'm gonna get over it. Because it's not about what the characters look like. Sure, Susane Collins breifly describes each character, but its not what they look like thats really important. It's who they are. And they are just people and they're so much more than just people. ANnd so arethe actors. I'm hoping the actors can bring what they need to to be just people, but more than that at the same time.

Anyways, I have to let this out

Umm... Awkward...

Okay, so I'm just gonna put this out there right away. I have no idea what to write about this week. I've been rereading books for the last 2 weeks. Books that are about 4th grade level. Books like "Princesses of Atlantis." I also reread Harry Potter numbers 2 and 3, and The True Meaning of Smekday-- My absolutepositively favoritiest book ever. So now, I sit in front of my computer, typing this with one hand and testing my new water-saluable pastels with the other (If this wasn't a posting a book-only blog I would put up some book related paintings... But you don't want to see that). So I wrote a list of random things I've been thinking about that are book-related. I'm just going to close my eyes and pick one....
"It's all in the name."
I was hoping I wouldn't pick that one, because its kind of hard to explain. But maybe I can.
Let's put it this way. You're reading a book blurb, and heres what it says.

An action packed adventure about one boy, who, if he can channel his powers, can possibly save the world from ulitmate peril and dinosuars and stuff. But, If this boy cannot do it... There will be no survivors.

Or something like that. And then you read on and at the very bottom it says

It's all up to one boy.
Its all up to...
Higgly.

What does that make you think? When I read a name like Higgly, I automatically think of some awkward pubescent boy with premature wrinkles, acne, and pants that are too high and too short. I assume this story is going to try too hard to be funny, with things like butts and farting and fake vomit and caffeteria ladies who serve up eyeballs. I assume the author is some grown man who never really grew up. I also assume he never graduated 4th grade, and his humor level is about there.

Wait... all I did was read the name.

Another example. This one with a blurb I bet you don't remember from a book I bet you know. But, I'm going to change the names.

Ever since Lippy Lou came home for the summer, the Beans had been so mean and hideous that all Lippy wanted to do was get back to  Cowpimples School for Witchcraft and Wizardry (I bet that gave it away.) But just as he's packing his bags, Lippy recieves a warning that if he returns to Cowpimples, disaster will strike.

If you haven't guessed, thats from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. But, if I read Lippy Lou and the Chamber of Secrets, I'd feel ridiculous. Even if the book was twice as good as Harry Potter (hahaha just kidding that's not possible- it would blow my, and my fellow Harry Potter dork's collective minds.) I bet J.K. Rowling wouldn't have gotten  a movie deal ( along with waterbottles, hats, scarves, gloves, robes, brooms, blankets, foot warmers, deoderant, food, tooth brushes- It's like brushing your teeth with Harry Potter's head- posters backpacks, quidditch tournaments and more. )

Because the name really makes a difference. One of your first impressions of a person is their name. And you kind of get a hint what they'rr like, if they're anything like their parents, who named them. You see if they use their full name or a nickname. You see how they say it. If they love it and say it loud and clear (or maybe they're just sick of people mishearing and mispronouncing) or if they're ashamed of it and mumble.

So, I guess, like I said, It's all in the name.


*By the way Ms. Robbins, I bet I misused a comma about 15 times or more in there.
