I have a lot of feelings.

So, I've been watching Catching Fire at least once a day for the last week. 

Yesterday I started reading the book again during my downtime. 

The movie is better than the book.  It makes more sense and it flows better. 

I can't remember the last time I thought a movie was better than the book. 

I'm having difficulty processing these emotions.

I finally saw Catching Fire this last weekend... I liked it alot.

But I'm going to wince in preparation and confess that I've...only seen the movies and have not read these books.

I usually do like to read books before seeing movies based on them...but lately, aint nobody got time.... 

:!!

The books are really quick reads.  I got through, like, 93% of the book in a few hours yesterday.

Also I think as of now, I'm team Peeta

CinemaGoddess

I am team Movie-Peeta but team Book-Gale.

Yeahhh I know but like... lazy.  That's my real excuse.  Bad me. 

 I've been trying to read Jane Eyre for like 2 months now and I'm only half way through, but I'm going to blame that one on school starting so ... guess I have to study sometimes and shiz.

How can you watch a movie once a day? The ENTIRE movie?

Also the last time I really thought  a movie was better than the book was Devil Wears Prada

I put it on as background noise when I work.  I watched it the first time one night after the girls went to bed.

Movie Peeta is cute... especially in the second one.  First one he looked kind of awkward at first and then got cuter as it went on...and then in the second I was like helloooo

Book on tape?

SpaceGirlSpiff

What's a tape?  JK

Maybe I'll have to give that a try ...I just always assumed I might fall asleep or it wont feel as fulfilling... I like to just read at my own pace as I fly away in my mind and escape.

I do need to make a point to do it more often for sure... Reading is nice.

I'd happily jump into a fake publicity engagement with him any day...  Cmon Katniss, be more excited

Just saw Catching Fire on Saturday . I loved it!! And yes, Peeta is looking hot!

SpaceGirlSpiff

Yep.

I read the first book but not two or three. The catching fire movie was awesome. Just really exciting. Not a peeta fan though. That drip always needs saving.

SpaceGirlSpiff said:

Yep.

If given the choice between Josh and Liam, I would have a really hard time choosing but I'm 100% sure I would ultimately go with "threesome".

If we are talking hotties in Catching Fire.......FINNICK.

CURVEBALL. 

Finnick is a total hottie but his shoulders bug me.

Is this like Jeremy Renner's fingers? Some people can get past it, some people can't?

CinemaGoddess

Your legs would slide off them.  They're very slopey.  

SpaceGirlSpiff

Liams good too... but I actually prefer Chris, between the Hemsworth brothers

Finnick was hot too... but a SMIDGE too pretty... a smidge.  I wouldnt kick him out of bed though

I've only seen the second movie once, but DH just bought it for me, so I can't wait to watch it again...and again...and again. 

I don't know that I could say one was better than the other in terms of second book or second movie.

FINE. More Finnick for me.

I'll take some finnick as well.

@LauraT25 is a generous friend.

I was NOT a fan of Movie Peeta in the first one.  He is growing on me in Catching Fire.  I'm still a bigger fan of Book Peeta, but I'm glad the tide is turning for me.
