Why Lionsgate needs me as their PR-advisor

Hey dear Lionsgate people, it’s me, FyreSparks! Since the Hunger Games is now out on imdbPro (which means it slowly gets real) and there are some difficult decisions coming up for you guys, I decided to give you a few tips. You know, cause I’m such a pro when it comes to books and movies and books turned into movies. Alright, here we go!

a

The Lionsgate list to ultimate fan-happiness

Get this man! Now!

1. Do not hire Cathy Hardwicke as director. Maybe ask Peter Jackson instead cause he totally knows how to pull of stuff like that. Hello? 11 Oscars for Lord of the Rings – Return of the King alone. Do I have to say anything else?

2. Do not hire the New Moon wig department. Honestly, have you seen what they did to Jackson Rathbone aka Jasper?

3. Do hire Howard Shore or Hans Zimmer to compose the score. Cause they rule! Plus they are my all time favorites when it comes to composers for movie scores. So just call them. Please.

Do NOT get this guy though!

4. Do not hire anyone of the Twilight cast just to profit from their popularity. Cause that’s just not right. Bella can’t be Katniss and Jacob can’t be Gale and most of all, Mike Newton CANNOT be Peeta. Ever. Just saying.

5. Do not split the last book into two movies, however long it might be. I hate when there are breaks in the movies. Cause it ruins the mood. Splitting a book in two is like a 6 months long break. Not cool. I never understood why someone would do this except to gain more money in the box office. There’s a reason why Casablanca is considered a classic and cinema heirloom even though it’s like 5 hours long. Consider that!

Do NOT get this woman either! Her face is FROZEN...

6. Do not hire someone whose face is so damaged by botox that she can no longer act properly. Have you seen Nicole Kidman in The Golden Compass? I still think it’s partly her fault I didn’t like the movie even though I loved the book… Oh woman, what have you done to your once pretty face?

7. Do hire someone who is super hot aka sexiest man alive 2015 and 2016 for the roles of Peeta and Gale. Cause hot actors are bound to lure girls and women into the theaters. Plus if there are always two Bond Girls I feel like we deserve two sexy guys to look at as well!

8. Don’t forget to release an absolutely awesome first trailer at least six months before the movie premieres.

9. Don’t forget to hold back some of the best, most anticipated scenes to surprise us on the day when we will actually sit in the movie theaters to watch “The Hunger Games” for the first time.
(Concerning numbers 8 and 9 you could just say don’t do it like Summit! First they throw out like every important scene New Moon has to offer and then they don’t give us the slightest glimpse of Eclipse. Big fail!)

10. Make this movie epic and awesome and not one of that fits into the “good books – bad movies” category. Cause we need it to be good and to not suck! Kthxbye.

Happy Easter from The District13 Post

Actually I wanted to do something really special here for Easter. I searched Google Images for hours and hours but just couldn’t come up with something good. I wanted to have a super awesome picture of Katniss and stuff to photoshop Easter eggs into it and all that but none of the images seemed to be good enough. Wanna know what I DID find? Alright, this is not necessarily Hunger Games related but if you squeeze your eyes this guy looks KINDA like Peeta… 😉

Oh and how sexy he winks at you… What? Surprised? Shocked? Need something to cure your innocent eyes? Alright then. Winnie the Pooh should be innocent enough, right? 😉

a

Happy Easter everyone! 😉

FyreSparks returns from being MIA… and brings Peeta with her

First of all I wanna apologize for being MIA, neglecting this blog and not writing a new post in two weeks straight! Sorry! But today I’m finally returning and I brought some quite good stuff with me if I do say so myself! First of all enjoy one of the Valentine conversation hearts I made back in February. Guess who it is I made that one for… 😉

And then, remember I talked about how I found someone who really kinda looks like my Peeta? So, let me introduce you to him! Here he is, his name is Sterling Knight:

Yes, I know that he played in a couple of Disney Channel series. No, I don’t care and I never watched one single episode. I wouldn’t mind if he looked a little older but hey, he still has some time left before they start shooting the Hunger Games movie so… And because I know that’s what you think about now: No, it is not a good idea to Google Image search him. Just don’t! Trust me! Cause you’ll only find childish pics where he doesn’t look like Peeta. I had to look for ages to find those two gems above. But hey, I’m pretty sure he will do a sexy photoshoot anytime soon! 😉

So what about you, have you found your Peeta yet? Any suggestions? Tell ma about it! Just leave a comment or e-mail me!

So glad I’m finally back to posting again

Who should play Gale Hawthorne?

Definitely not my Gale Hawthorne... even though he most definitely has the abs!

Only a short post today, but I promise one a bit longer over the next few days! Just another thing I noticed while watching all those “my favorite Hunger Games cast” videos. While simply everyone seems to wish for Alex Pettyfer as Peeta, there are about one hundred different versions of “my perfect Gale”. Just one thing when it comes to the question who should play Gale Hawthorne: It’s NOT Taylor Lautner! Why keep people suggesting him all the time? Don’t get me wrong! I think he’s hot, oh yes! And I may or may not have seen New Moon several times just for him and the wolfpack. But Jacob from New Moon just can’t be Gale from the Hunger Games as well. Not that I would mind if Gale had Taylor’s abs though… 😉

I looked around and googled different things but so far unfortunately have not found one single guy who looks at least a little bit like Gale does in my imagination… but I’ll let you know as soon as I come across someone, promise!

So what about you? Do you think it strange how many people obviously want Taylor Lautner as Gale? Any own suggestions? Have you already found your perfect Gale? Let me know! Leave a comment or send me over some pics if you want to!

a

Let the search for Gale begin!

Sometimes I need to apologize

Dear readers, I’m sorry! I haven’t blogged in over a week and I feel really bad about it! This may or may not have something to do with the fact that I just have read Catching Fire again. So I’ll make up for it, promise! I took notes while reading, made a couple more Hunger Games themed Valentine’s hearts and found pics of someone who almost looks like the Peeta in my head. And I’m going to share all of this with you soon. So be prepared for an awful lot of awesomeness over the next few days!

Valentine’s Day special edition

Okay, I’m not a huge enough fan of Valentine’s day to make countless Katniss and Peeta / Gale in love Valentine’s cards to post here. Nevertheless I got this one gem for you. A Conversation Heart from Peeta!

Ah how beautiful! So sweet of him to send this one over, right? 😉 I would have made a few more but couldn’t come up with anything as cool as that… yet. So what about you? Send your ideas over by leaving a comment or e-mail me! Put them on a heart or just write down the words and I’ll make it all look nice for you! It can be anything that has to do with the Hunger Games series, so be creative! I’m going to post the best entries here on the blog!

So start now & participate in The District13 Post’s Valentine Special!

Thinking of something sweet for a Gale heart,

Hunger Games cakes – The Good, the Bad and the Strange ones

Sometimes when I’m bored I type in random things at google images just to see what comes up. Have you ever tried this with “Hunger Games cake”? Well, I have. And it’s not really a good idea. Cause to be honest, most of them are horrible and strange and I have no idea how anyone could order something like that for a birthday party. So let’s check out some of the awful awesome pictures I found.

Uhm, okay. This is a brown haired Barbie sitting with all her clothes on a cake having the green icing smeared all over her legs. This does not look delicious. At all. Plus there are those brown crumps supposed to be the mud where Peeta hides on the river bank. At least that’s what I guess from the two eyes and the blue topping…

I guess that this one also shows Peeta. Because of the nose and the eyes and cause I can’t think of any other Hunger Games scene that could probably match this cake. Even though I can’t quite tell for sure how eyes and a nose make clear that this is indeed Peeta…

I got several more pictures stored away for upcoming posts but I think those two are enough for now. Honestly Hunger Games and especially Peeta fans all around the world… Isn’t it just enough to have a beautiful cake with flowers and stuffed iced on it just like they’re described in the book. And to make them a Peeta cake, why not just write on them “made by Peeta with love”. Done! Simple but awesome and perfect. That’s what I would want to have instead of a Barbie sitting on top. Just saying.

So did anyone of you have a Hunger Games cake? Found pictures of cakes you like / don’t like? Leave a comment or e-mail me!

Get the icing out dear bakers,

Why is it I can’t decide this time?

This is how I picture Gale one day. And yep, I think it's kinda hot...

When it comes to books it has always been easy for me to choose which characters I liked most, which ones I hated and which ones just annoyed the crap out of me (Hello there, Bella Swan!). I loved Gandalf and Aragorn, the elves and the hobbits in Lord of the Rings. I kinda liked Snape because I always had the feeling that he had a secret and was one of the good ones deep down. I loved Dumbledore. I wanted Harry to get Ginny in the end. It wasn’t hard for me to choose between Team Edward and Team Jacob. So how come I just can’t decide if I want Katniss to end up with Peeta or with Gale? I like both! In real life I would probably rather fall for the dark Gale type but in the books… hard to say. I like that Peeta makes delicious cookies and wonderful cakes. How he tries to protect Katniss and the way they go to sleep together to keep the nightmares away.

Artificial arm anyone? Yep, check! Hot? Uhm, I don't know...

Okay, he has an artificial leg, but let’s not linger on this. Unless you think artificial legs are cool, then add it to the pro list… In the case of Gale, I love how he cares for his family. And all those hunting trips with Katniss. Plus guys with bows and stuff are kinda hot. I gotta admit my heart broke a little when he finally decided to confess his love to Katniss but it was too late. Maybe there will be something in the third book (when it finally comes out) that makes it easier for me to choose one of the two. In case there is not, I can only think of one solution: Making a pro and contra list! Cause that’s how you should make difficult decisions. Always. Trust me. Of course I could just say I like them both equally but I don’t think Katniss will be allowed to marry them both once she is older, right? Right???

So who is your favorite? And why? Do you like Peeta’s artificial leg? Or rather Gale’s snares? Or are you just like me and for some reason can’t decide? Let me know! Leave a comment or send an e-mail!

Getting out my pen to make an oldschool pro and contra list,

The Hunger Games FanArt Gallery Vol.1

Okay, I knew I sooner or later had to talk about this, so why not sooner? Fan art is always kind of a touchy subject. There are the people who create it and out endless effort and time into it on one hand. On the other hand we got those who completely dislike it cause they think it sucks. Badly. And to be honest, they got a point there. Most of it does suck. Badly. But then sometimes you stumble across something you actually like. So to keep this light and nice enjoy the first of a series of Fan Art Gallery posts. This time only with pictures I really kind of like!

a

a

Yep, only two. But those are my favorites of all the fan art pics I could find. I really love those! So that’s it for now.

So what do you think about fan art? Love it? Hate it? Are you by any chance one of the people who created one of those fantastic pictures or something similar? Tell me about it! Leave a comment or e-mail me!

The Hunger Games FanArt Gallery is open NOW!

Find the perfect Hunger Games cast on Youtube… or maybe not

As I promised in the Alex Pettyfer post, here are some of the videos about the perfect Hunger Games cast I watched on Youtube so far. There are about 150 more to go… So here we go!

Okay, if Mike Welch plays Gale I’m so NOT gonna watch this movie. Plus half of those people are too young to play anyone’s parent. Just saying.

No, Taylor Lautner should NOT play Gale. Period. He’s already Jacob so he simply can’t be Gale as well. But I love Jack Nicholson as Haymitch here. Cause in that picture he So looks like a drunkard… 😉

Okay, I guess two is enough for now. Maybe I should start a series and post a few “cast” videos every two weeks or so. What do you think? Who would be your favorite actors for a Hunger Games movie? You can leave a comment or e-mail me!

a

Go to Youtube to watch the rest of the 190 videos if you got nothing else to do 😉
