Hunger Games: My Thoughts

Did you see Hunger Games this weekend? If you haven't seen it yet. Go ASAP! It was so amazing. I highly recommend reading the books before you see it but, that's just me. Anyways, so I have been pondering the movie ALL weekend. Literally. Ask Daniel, I couldn't sleep Friday night because I was processing it all. 

Where to start? I think I'll make a likes/dislikes chart. Yes, that's what I'll do. Deal? Ok. I'll start with the dislikes since there wasn't very many. 

{WARNING: If you havent seen the movie or read the books, DONT READ}

Dislikes:

+ Gale. I thought I would love him since I think he's mighty fine. Honestly, I thought he was terrible. Sorry Liam. {did you hear that him and Miley are engaged? what the what? wonder if it's real}

+ The shaky parts when Katniss was having her hallucinations. Gave me a headache. 

Likes: 

+ Katniss was AMAZING. Jennifer Lawrence was the perfect Katniss. 

+ They did such a good job sticking with the book. I was so happy. I feel a little sad for those of you who haven't read it because, it's that good!

+ Cinna: Lenny was the PERFECT person to play him. He did so good! Go Lenny! 

+ The opening scene of her running through District 12 is exactly how I pictured it. The people, the houses, the clothes, everything. Is exactly how I had it in my head. 

+ The scene when Peeta tosses Katniss the bread in the rain. Um, PERFECT! 

+ Speaking of Peeta. Uhhh can you say brilliant. I can't even! 

+ The people in the Capitol. Again with it looking like how I pictured it. 

+ Haymitch: Woody was actually perfect for that role. I wish he played more into the drunk part of his role. 
+ Effie was just like I pictured her in the book. Everything about her was perfect!

+ In arena when the were all standing there waiting for the games to start, my heart was racing so fast. I was so excited. 

+ Katniss' outfits were perfect.

+ The cave scene. Uh, I DIED which leads to...

+ ....the first REAL kiss between Peeta and Katniss. Enough said.

+ When peeta was hiding in the mud. I laughed so hard.

+ When rue died I cried my eyes out. Not sure why I did since I knew it was coming.

+ Oh and I cried when the called Prim's name in the reaping. Yea such a sap.

+ The braid touch. Seriously, couldn't have been more perfect! SWOON!

I tried to put my thoughts into more of a meaningful post but, I am still in the processing state of it. {bahaha} This movie was hands down amazing. I want to see it again and again. Maybe we'll see it when my mom and stepdad come visit this weekend. Hands down favorite movie of the year. I know it. Oh and have you seen this horrid Breaking Dawn trailer? No, well here it is. Really, really, really? "We're the same tempature."......BARF! Guys, I can't even. So glad this is the last one. haha!

Happy Tuesday! 

XOXO

weekly link up: twilight vs hunger games

This week we wanna know if you are Team Twilight or Team Hunger Games? Then after you tell us which you love better. We wanna know are you Team Edward or Team Jacob in Twilight. Or are you Team Peeta or Team Gale in Hunger Games? 

if you are new to this link up or if you forgot how it works here are the instructions:

 1. each week we will post the topic for that week, then blog about it on your blog and add the pic from above to your post. 

2. then, come back here and link it up at the end of this post as well as go over to ashley's blog and do the same. make sure you link up to both!! 3. now, read other bloggers lists and get to know them, that makes it the party!!! be sure to spread the word of this awesome weekly link up party! 

I admit when Twilight came out I was all team twilight. Then the last book and movie came out. Then I was all "Whyyyyyy???" Needless to say I am sooo TEAM HUNGER GAMES! Which is so fitting since the movie comes out Friday. Guys, I am seriously so excited. Talk about fan girl freak outs everyday this week. Phew!

So, now that we know I am all Hunger Games. That leaves one more question. Team Peeta or Team Gale? Well, I'll be honest. In the books I was Team Peeta most the time, then I felt bad for Gale so I was Team Gale for like a few chapters. Then with the release of the movie I wasn't sure about Josh Huchterson as Peeta. But, with all the teasers I have seen and photos. I have proud to say I am so TEAM PEETA. He is a perfect Peeta and I cannot wait to see the movie all the way through on Friday!

Why am I Team Hunger Games? Well, because I love the way these books were written. I loved that each and every character felt real to me. Like I could really be friends with them all. Well all but Snow and Coin. I didn't like them at all. Anyways, Hunger Games is just a great story. It kept me interested. Each book were extreme page turners. I just love the whole story. I love when a book takes me into another time and makes me feel like a part of it. Its pretty much awesome sauce. Suzanne Collins knows what's up. haha!

Don't worry I have plans to write a blog post all about the movie after I see it! Ahhhhh! {cue fan girl freak out}


Now, it's your turn to tell us what team you are on. I can't wait to see what you all are! Now go ahead and link up. && vote in the  poll on the right hand side of my blog. 

the flu is stupid

Hi guys. So if you follow me on twitter or FB. You might know I have some sorta flu bug. I started feeling crappy Friday night after we went to the movies. Then Saturday morning I was stuck in bed. By the afternoon I felt better. So, we went out with some friends {Hi Megan and Kevin!} and saw The Vow. Even better the second time. Then I started feeling SUPER crappy again and have since then. Sunday night I felt super brave and ate real food my mother in law sent home with Dan. {Thanks Susan!} Real food was a bad idea. My tummy is so angry at me. So I will continue my diet of saltines, ginger ale, water, and toast.  

Psssttt....FRIDAY IS HUNGER GAMES DAY!!!! eekkkk!

guys, this needs to be on the blog. part two.

my awesome aunt dianne sent me this link today and i squealed with joy! i am in love with these printables. amazing right? yeahhh!!! :)

saturday sayings//hunger games

ok, i finished reading the hunger games series for the second time on tuesday night. i literally cried as i read the last sentence. guys, i love these books so much it's not even funny. i thought i couldn't love a book as much as i love these. i probably wouldn't mind re-reading it again right now. haha.

since they released the trailer for the movie {coming out march 23rd!}, it seems like everyone has jumped on the bandwagon. by all means people jump on it. but, i HIGHLY recommend reading the books before so. by, recommend i mean read it LIKE NOW! seriously, read it. daniel started reading the first book this week. i literally squealed with joy when he told me he started it. 

not only do these books have an awesome story line, but the way its written is amazing. as i read it, i really felt like i could relate to the characters in some way or another. i felt like i really knew them. they felt real. yes, i know they are not real people. but thanks to the movie coming out. i know have faces to place with the characters, and let me tell you they did ONE awesome job casting them. 

alright so, basically this post is all about my love for the hunger games series. i could go on and on and on about it. but, i think i'll spare you all my deep thoughts. but, im warning you i might write a post in the future about my feelings and thoughts. lauren, started a new feature "countdown to the hunger games". you should check it out, it's so fun to read peoples thoughts on the books. if you are die hard fan like me you will love it! also, mandy over at miss indie posted a hunger games post the other day. loved it. read it here.

if you love these books like me, i would love to chat about all things hunger games. comment on this post or send me an email!


....oh one more thing i feel like you should know. that pic of katniss and peeta is totally my phone backgroud. yep, its the coolest!
