‘The Hunger Games’ Prequel movies are probably coming from Lionsgate
Despite Hunger Games 3.5: The MockingReckoning making few less bank than the other installments, Lionsgate knows a cash cow when it sees one. The company has made an insane amount of money off of the franchise, and like all sensible folk they want to continue nursing that teat until it snaps off, reddened and miserable. How are they intending to do so? I’m glad you asked! Prequels, friends. Prequels.

Cosplay: Katniss Everdeen from ‘Catching Fire’
Man, I won’t be fucking with the final Hunger Games movie in the theater, but I’m certainly feeling this cosplay. You know, it checks every box on the CaffPow checklist: spandex, bow and arrow, spandex, attractive human, spandex.
Monday Morning Commute: ilovemyself
Fuck, man. Don’t listen to the media. Don’t heed the Illumnati. Don’t accept the notion that you ain’t worth something. You’re wonderful. A delectable collection of atoms. Squeezed into new form by your equally wonderful mother and father’s Copulation Boom Boom. And while you’re here, and while you’re loving yourself, why not share what else you’re loving this week? That’s the point of Monday Morning Commute. New books, new movies, new favorite things to do with your boogers. Whatever got you smiling.
‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay’ Trailer: Katniss rages against the machine
Catnip Evergreen and Gail Force Wind are all up in this trailer for The Hungry Games: Mockingbird. Shooting down planes and shit. I’m down. I’m diggin’ it. Vibin’. Bein’ a choad.
‘Hunger Games’ Viral Teaser #2: The KatnissJay Ain’t Dead
Fuck if I posted the first Mockingjay teaser, I might as well post the second one. This one lets the world of Bread know that the MockingLady ain’t anything but dead. Totally cutting into President Sutherland’s address.
‘THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE’ IMAX Poster CRACKLES WITH SEXY
Okay, maybe sexy isn’t the right word. But it’s been a long day, I’m a horn dog, and I’m just sitting her warmly recalling J-Law’s dance scene from Silver Linings Playbook: The Caff Pow Story.
This IMAX poster for Catching Fire is pretty neat, too!
FINAL ‘HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE’ TRAILER: The Katniss Rises. Or Something.
Hnng. Instant blood flow pretty much in that area when I saw Katniss all up in her form-fitting spandex tribute suit thing in this trailer. Goodness me. There’s uh, other stuff in this final preview for Catching Fire. I promise. What is it? I can’t. I can’t remember.
(I’m excited for this movie.)
Sam Claflin cast as Finnick Odair in ‘HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE.’ Everyone swoon or rage.
The sort of casting that sends nerds of a certain proclivity into either ecstasy or angst has taken place. Some dude from movies I haven’t seen has been cast in a pretty important role in the second Hunger Games flick.
Hold the phone, it is Jennifer Lawrence’s birthday.
The following is probably a work of fiction.
It is Jennifer Lawrence’s birthday. National holiday. I knew that Jennifer Lawrence would love me right from the get-go. Now, don’t call this a coincidence, because you’re jealous. The first time, I swear the first time I saw The Hunger Games she winked at me. Right at me! This isn’t an optical illusion. Right as she is climbing into that little pod-tube thing to writhe about for a tepid forty minutes in a death match, she winked.
Is “The Hunger Games” the future of writing? I sincerely hope not.
Okay, before I’m set upon by rabid Hunger Games fans dressed in tribute uniforms brandishing axes and knives, let me clarify: we’re talking writing style, not content. I personally didn’t care for Suzanne Collins’ writing style; I get why she wrote the story the way she did, but it did nothing for me. I didn’t finish the first one and I have no desire to read the other two (blasphemy, I know). I tried, but I grew very bored very quickly. Sparse writing like Collins’, in my opinion, is more suited for shorter works.
But some author I’ve never fucking heard of has weighed in and believes this stark, short, quick-punch style is the future of literature for the internet generation. The English major in me is weeping and flipping tables by turns.
