NPR's Linda Holmes wrote a great article about the gender dynamics in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and concluded, "…you could argue that Katniss' conflict between Peeta and Gale is effectively a choice between a traditional Movie Girlfriend and a traditional Movie Boyfriend." I do love the way Holmes puts this.… » 12/03/13 6:00pm 12/03/13 6:00pm

Behold, Katniss, looking wary and making some kind of speech or presentation, and Peeta, square-jawed and vaguely morose, in this new still from the second Hunger Games film, Catching Fire. Do the colors and tones here seem a lot more somber and subdued than the ones we saw in the first film? Or is it just that we're… » 1/15/13 2:30pm 1/15/13 2:30pm

So. Here is an exclusive sneak peek at Finnick and Katniss getting up close and personal in Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Cool? Cool. Although: It would be so much hotter if that were Jesse Williams, right? Right. Not gonna let that go.

Anyway, here's Sam Claflin giving his best sexy-sea-god pose on the the new cover…

If you have a sleepover at the BAMF Girls Club, just remember that Lisbeth Salander will probably fuck with you while you're sleeping. So don't sleep — stay vigilant through the wee small hours of the morning and wait for Katniss Everdeen to make some squirrel fur pancakes. She uses real bits of squirrel so you know… » 7/12/12 11:15pm 7/12/12 11:15pm

Entertainment Weekly as an exclusive first look. The good news? She doesn't have Barbie's perma-high-heel foot or toothy smile, which would be inappropriate for a teenager being forced to play a "game" that involves killing other kids. The bad news? Well, if you're a purist, this Katniss doesn't really have that "Seam"… » 4/09/12 11:00am 4/09/12 11:00am

Trends usually emerge when a big event movie (or book, but who reads anymore?) strikes a chord with a large audience, like when Harry Potter inspired real people to start playing quidditch, a fake sport, or when a cocaine and porn craze swept the nation after the release of Boogie Nights. Now, in the wake of the… » 3/30/12 9:30am 3/30/12 9:30am

Before the games, Peeta Mellark goes in front of the crowd and answers questions posed by Caesar Flickerman. "Is there a special girl back home?" Flickerman asks. "No, not really," Peeta replies. Flickerman presses, and Peeta says, "There is this one girl that I've had a crush on forever." Flickerman declares: "You win this… » 3/13/12 11:45am 3/13/12 11:45am

Jeez, you expect this sort of thing from a men's magazine. Et tu, Glamour? Or maybe this is something Cinna whipped up for archery training in The Capitol? (Yes, we know this is Jennifer Lawrence and not Katniss, but seriously, with the bow, lines are blurred.) [Buzzfeed] » 2/28/12 5:30pm 2/28/12 5:30pm

Kind of upsetting, actually. » 2/27/12 5:30pm 2/27/12 5:30pm

Fans of the books are eagerly anticipating the March 2012 release of The Hunger Games. But just because it's a teen-oriented romantic and violent fantasy project doesn't mean it will draw the same kind of freakish crowds the SparkleVamp did. Or, at least, that's what Jennifer Lawrence has been telling herself. Here's a … » 11/03/11 12:20pm 11/03/11 12:20pm

Entertainment Weekly—on stands May 20—has exclusive first photos as Jennifer Lawrence's transformation into Hunger Games heroine Katniss Everdeen. EW shadowed the actress as she prepared for her role (with archery training, hair dying, and a diet that was intended to leave her looking hungry) days before she left for… » 5/18/11 3:51pm 5/18/11 3:51pm
