But what I really want to talk about today is my new obsession with The Hunger Games. My sister has been talking about them nonstop for the last year or so and finally coerced me into reading them. And I would like to thank her because they were awesome.
The Hunger Games are about this post-apocalyptic North America where citizens are forced to participate in the annual Hunger Games, which are a fight to the death between 24 teenage boys and girls. It's sooo not my usual scene, but there is a reason why these books are being called the next Twilight.
Well, I don't actually like Twilight, but I mean that they are really popular and have a girl torn between two lovers. The lovers here are hottie rebel Gale and likable thing Peeta. The girl choosing is Katniss, which is a horrible name, but she is cool. I know I didn't give a good description of Peeta, just saying he is a likable thing, but likability has to count for something, because I love him. Honestly, Team Peeta all the way.
I just read an article in Entertainment Weekly where the website polled readers about who they would cast in the movie of The Hunger Games and I was VERY happy with the results. First of all, I keep accidentally writing the Hunter Games, which might be Freudian, because people want my beloved Hunter Parrish to play Peeta. Hunter Parrish is Silas on Weeds for all you people that probably shouldn't be reading my blog. I love him. I love that match. Also, Effie from Skins is the number 1 choice for Katniss, which is amazing, because maybe that'll get Americans to pay attention to my favorite British show. Plus Effie is gorgeous. Her real name is Kaya something. Look her up if you don't know her. Also Hugh Laurie and Kristin Chenoweth were on the wannabe cast list! I am PSYCHED. And a huge loser for being so psyched about a fantasy cast list.
Anyway, my point is, go read The Hunger Games because they are really good and intense and sexy. Okay?
