“I’m coming back into focus when Caesar asks him if he has a girlfriend back home. Peeta hesitates, then gives an unconvincing shake of his head.
Handsome lad like you. There must be some special girl. Come on, what’s her name?” says Caesar.
Peeta sighs. “Well, there is this one girl. I’ve had a crush on her ever since I can remember. But I’m pretty sure she didn’t know I was alive until the reaping.”
Sounds of sympathy from the crowd. Unrequited love they can relate to.
She have another fellow?” asks Caesar.
I don’t know, but a lot of boys like her,” says Peeta.
So, here’s what you do. You win, you go home. She can’t turn you down then, eh?” says Caesar encouraging-ly.
I don’t think it’s going to work out. Winning…won’t help in my case,” says Peeta.
Why ever not?” says Caesar, mystified.
Peeta blushes beet red and stammers out. “Because…because…she came here with me.”

I hear Cinna’s voice, carrying images of rich fabric and sparkling gems. “Katniss, the girl who was on fire.” What a good laugh the Gamemakers must be having over that one.
7. What’s the next film you’re anticipating?
The Hunger Games and Hugo.
10. Most underrated film?
Uh, that’s a really tough one. There are a lot of films that don’t get enough credit - I want to say Arthur with Russel Brand and Greta Gerwig. It was extremely delightful. One of my go to pick me up films.
You are stronger than they are. You are.
They just want a good show. That’s all they want.
You know how to hunt. Show them how good you are.

Uh. Yeah - signed up for both.
Oh, and just booked my flight to Italy at the end of the month.
You can see the entire cast here.
Guys, I know there was - rightfully - a lot of controversy over the casting but the casting for Hunger Games is pretty much PERFECT.
I’m still unconvinced about how the actors will play Katniss, Peeta, and Gale but
- Woody Harrelson as Haymitch Abernathy?…

Lenny Kravitz cast to play Cinna in the Hunger Games.
Thoughts? I don’t know how I feel about this - I’m oddly excited yet wary.
