'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay' Trailer
Its finally here, a full trailer for 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1' and its awesome. This was my favorite book, simply for the fact of how they resolved this large scoping storyline. I thought the ending was realistic and I thought that it was not the normal way stories end these days. It was gritty and dark and I'm looking forward to seeing it translate to the screen. In this trailer we get to see the fully brainwashed Peeta making public statements against the rebellion, and we see a very strong and determined Katniss fighting against the rebel leaders.
First Official 'Mockingjay' Teaser
We finally get our first real taste of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 with the following teaser trailer that was released over the weekend at SDCC. It's only about a minute long but it shows us actual film footage, whereas all we've seen so far are the two videos hyping up The Capitol's way of doing things.
Seventeen Years of Buffy
First there was a movie. It wasn’t great, but it was memorable. I saw the movie on VHS for the first time and thought…meh. It didn’t blow me away, but the reason it was memorable was because of the title. Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It was intriguing and different. I can’t say I remember the advertising for the film and it wasn’t something I was looking forward to seeing, but I loved the horror and vampire genre so I wanted to see it. It starred Kristy Swanson, Donald Sutherland, Paul Reubens, Luke Perry, Hilary Swank, David Arquette, Rutger Hauer and in an un-credited role even Ben Affleck. It didn’t do great and after it was made into a show we found out it wasn’t made with Joss Whedon’s vision in mind. That was the summer of 1992.
