I am reading the script for the Hunger Games movie. I wanted to look something up for the fic (didn't find that thing) but I did find out that Foxface is named "Marissa." (Why did people tell me she was called "Finch" in the script?)
And the male ribute from 4 is "Bravura." (How would you even shorten that for a nickname? "Bra" sounds wrong.)
These both seem wrong to me but Suzanne Collins was cowriter so now I feel like I should use those names....

268 - Shattered Glass (with Richard Lawson!)
Tumblr media
Hayden Christensen arrived seemingly out of nowhere to land the role of pre-Vader Anakin Skywalker, becoming one of Hollywood's hottest stars overnight and largely untested as a screen presence. After a respected turn in Life As A House (see previous episode!), the Attack of the Clones reviews soured audiences on this brand new star. The very next year, he gave a terrific performance in Shattered Glass as journalist Stephen Glass who famously fabricated stories for The New Republic. But awards bodies overlooked Christensen's work and instead nominated the rising Peter Sarsgaard as Glass' pseudo-rival Chuck Lane.
This episode, we talk about the Entertainment Weekly It List that was Christensen's first debut post-Star Wars casting and his return to the franchise. We also talk about director/writer Billy Ray, Sarsgaard's near nomination here, and journalism movies that were successful with Oscar.
Topics also include working with fact checkers, college group watch television, and the 2003 Independent Spirit Awards.

The Hunger Games (2012)
Tumblr media
The dystopian YA Novel film adaptation is a peculiar genre. Part of a distinct filmmaking trend that emerged in the early 2010s, it was primarily influenced by the Harry Potter, Twilight and The Hunger Games franchises. The imitators that followed had aspirations to tell epic, multi-chapter stories but all but a few shrivelled away without accomplishing anything. It isn’t that the audience for them disappeared (though the lackluster box-office receipts of Allegiant and The Darkest Minds does suggest a wane in interest) it’s that once The Hunger Games wrapped up, we’d gotten the best of them and everything else dissapointed us.
In the nation of Panem, the 12 districts must select two tributes every year: one boy and one girl between 12 and 18. They are all sent to the Capitol where they will fight until only one child remains alive in the annual "Hunger Games". When her younger sister is selected by lottery, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) volunteers to take her place. For Katniss to survive, she'll need more than a weapon; she'll have to learn to appeal to the masses and win their hearts.
Publicized fights to the death is a concept that’s been done many times, even before Battle Royale had the novel idea to blend fights to the death with high school drama. What makes this film stand out is everything that takes places BEFORE the first drop of blood. Leaving her grey, impoverished district, Katniss is brought to the Capitol: a technological marvel of a city whose people wear elaborate costumes and flaunt their wealth with phosphorescent makeup and intricate hairdos. Clearly, Katniss is in way over her head. She may have the looks to be a crowd-favorite, but her mentor, past Hunger Games winner Haymitch (Woody Harrelson), knows that isn’t enough. This is where the other characters come in, particularly the other District 12 tribute, Peeta (Josh Hutcherson). Quick-witted and charismatic, he wins the hearts of the desensitized audience but doesn’t have any combat skills. You know at least one of these two is going to die. In a way, that’s what you came to see but through rich character development and good performances, you'll be in no hurry to see the inevitable action. The Hunger Games manages quite a feat; it stay gripping the whole way through thanks to the tension and during the training sequences and the politics leading up to the main event.
When we get to the bloodbath, one aspect of it will received mixed reactions. It’s a violent film but often, the action scenes shot in a way that disorients. On the upside, the final product is not too gory or intense for the intended audience. The downside is that you get a movie about gladiators whose weapons never drip with much visible blood. There is plenty of peril but when everything else is clearly shown, these scenes stand out.
While the character development and emotional attachment you will have towards Peeta and Katniss is the film's strength, some of the side characters’ deaths are less impactful than the film intends. It’s somewhat due to the limited running time they’re given (Even with 142 minutes, you can only do so much) and the fact that you knew their fates were sealed from the get-go. Still, it's a promising start and you just know the future chapters will be even better.
While The Hunger Games resembles other well-known works, it differentiates itself in crucial points. Combined with its striking art direction, strong performances and well develloped characters, it’s got appeal to anyone watching and remains entertaining long after the series has concluded. (On Blu-ray, September 7, 2018)

Let me die in his arms. Let me make him taste the pleasure, the strong feeling of having killed me little by little.
