Hunger Games Casting

Speaking as a rabid Hunger Games fangirl (though I was quite disappointed by the ending of Mockingjay) I feel like the casting of the movie is incredibly important. One thing I feel strongly about is that there should be a couple big-name actors (not for Kat, Gale or Peeta, but for the smaller roles) to draw in non-fans of the book. If they exist. Previously I'd thought something like Robert Downey Jr. or Johnny Depp as Haymitch, or maybe Kristen Chenoweth as Effie. I'd heard terrifying rumors about Kristin Stewart playing Katniss, which THANK GOD are not true. But recently I'd been stalking the blogs and I came upon a genius idea: Taylor Swift as Glimmer, the district 1 girl tribute. The looks are right, the size of the role is reasonable but not too big- enough to give the singer a start in a movie career (no pun intended), if she wants. Perhaps she's a little old, but if Percy Jackson is any indicator, they don't have a problem casting actors years older than the characters.

My point is, having a couple well-known stars in the movie would draw in audiences, and I've heard enough replays of You Belong With Me and Fearless to be totally okay with a hive of tracker jackers attacking a certain pop singer.

The Gods Of TV Pairings Have a Wacked-Out, Twisted Sense Of Humor

Spoilers for Glee Season 2, Episode 16: Original Song

Aww. That's all I can say. Well, or all I would say if I was the laconic type, which I'm so not. I'm just so, so happy that Kurt and Blaine are officially together. Even though we all saw if coming since Darren Criss came on the show in all his adorable, post-AVPM/S awesomeness. But HUZZAH! anyway. And my fangirl shipper happiness was only increased by their totally adorable cover of Candles (Raise Your Glass was pretty awesome too). I also thought that Loser Like Me was very good, but I did feel like reigonals came up kind of suddenly. It feels like the episodes are somewhat unconnected, and they kept mentioning reigonals and then doing something else for the rest of the episode, like Alcohol Awareness Week or Justin B***er covers.

Oh, and about the whole Gods of TV Pairings and their frustratingly twisted sense of humor, let's just say I have a history of ships not working out.

And that concludes this portion of the broadcast. Tune in next time I feel like blogging to hear me rant about something else.

This is what I do when I'm supposed to be doing something else

Usually, it's something important. Homework. Reading a book. Catching up on Doctor Who. But I'm a teenage girl with too much time on my hands, and like most people in this demographic, I'm loud and opinionated and this is a good opportunity to be loud and opinionated without risking my mouth being duct-taped by people who have heard enough conspiracy theories and 24-related rants. 24 is pretty much my favorite show ever. My sister begs to differ. In fact, she's the author of a pretty hilarious blog, 24criticism.blogspot.com. I highly recommend it, even though she spends most of the time dissing me and the best show in the universe.

Well, that's all for the intro. I can hear my homework calling. It sounds like one of those nannies from Dickensian England, all strict and bossy and demanding.
