Today I need to

• Tidy my room
• Shower
• Laminate Karen’s dress design
• Go to Ash’s house

but I have no motivation to start. boo.

I decided to list all of the things

that annoyed me about the film adaptation of The Hunger Games:

• Peeta and Katniss have barely any conversations together
• Peeta doesn’t talk about bread. Like at all, he doesn’t explain about the bread from each district
• Haymitch isn’t at the reaping
• There is no discussion about the tactics inside the arena with Peeta and Katniss
• The dress Katniss wears during the interview is like a budget version of the book dress, and its not supposed to catch fire
• You don’t find out anything about Rue, not even that Rue only trusts Katniss because of the Mockingjay pin
• When Rue dies, no bread is delivered from district 11
• Rue’s death isn’t even that sad because she’s with Katniss for about 5 minutes and you don’t know anything about her
• No Greasy Sae?
• No Darius
• No Avox girl
• Katniss buys the Mockingjay pin from some market and its not a present off Madge
• Madge isn’t even a character! Therefore no link to Madge’s aunt & the pin & Haymitch
• You don’t even find out what a Mockingjay is
• Katniss doesn’t find out about the leaves therefore she can’t heal Peeta’s wounds (which he miraculously heals from immediately)
• Katniss doesn’t lose the use of her left ear (used as an excuse in book 2)
• Ridiculous magical healing cream?
• Peeta’s leg healing up magically
• Peeta doesn’t have to get a prosthetic leg
• Film Peeta is a dick
• President Snow is not portrayed by Malcolm McDowell (who I imagined him to be) and looks nowhere near as threatening as book Snow
• The Mutts at the end of the film do not resemble the book Mutts at all, they just look like giant pugs
• There is no blood/gore at all, not even blood on weapons

I could go on but I wont. The film is a good film, its just a bad attempt at the book. I thought the same about Twilight too.
