Now that Twilight is almost over, will The Hunger Games films fill the void for fans?
—Elliott, Connecticut, via the inbox
u speak of the upcoming book-to-film adaptation about a dystopian society that sends its children into annual outdoor cage matches to the death, yes?
Well, the pre-production rumors sure are as heated as they were in the days before Twilight hit the screen. But does all that anticipation necessarily equal a replacement to the vampire cult?
Let's start with the casting frenzy, which may of may not launch the volgende Kristen Stewart:
Kick-Ass actresses Chloe Moretz and Lyndsy Fonseca both have been floated as possible fits for protagonist Katniss Everdeen. Abigail Breslin is zei to have her eye on the part of little sister Prim.
Along with Moretz and Fonseca, a British actress named Kaya Scodelario is supposedly in the running. All of them are meer than capable—if not exactly the right color—and would surely captivate the frenzied fans of Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games books.
But that's where the potential ends.
When it comes to fueling a mindless cult of epic proportion, Hunger Games simply lacks the right elements.
And door right elements I mean:
1. A boneless doormat of a female lead with about as much personality as a piece of cold paddestoel ravioli. That's an important element, here. Without a colorless, flavorless female lead such as Bella Swan, girl readers have a hard time projecting themselves into the romance.
In The Hunger Games, we get Katniss Everdeen, a very well defined, strong character, who hunts with a bow and arrow, and who likely would be extremely underwhelmed at a brooding waste of space like Edward Cullen. That is, unless Edward knew how to trap squirrels and root for berries.
2. A super-strong, borderline stalker of a male lead. Again, a very important element. In the Twilight series, Edward essentially makes all the big decisions: That he and Bella will date, that he and Bella will go out to dinner, etc. The Hunger Games has a pair of very promising suitors for Katniss, but both of them know better than to try to spy on her while she's sleeping. That is, unless they're cruising for an arrow to the kneecap.
3. Overwrought romance. That's the entire point of all of the Twilight books—getting Bella and Edward together. But it isn't the center of The Hunger Games; the kids are too busy holding onto their vital organs to focus much on love.
4. Lead actors who always look sad and lonely, and who are secretly dating. That stuff is like catnip to a 14-year-old girl. Catnip! Not Katniss!
All that said, The Hunger Games is a rip-snorter of a book series, and one of most tightly plotted action stories we've seen in quite a while.
It will surely enjoy plenty of adoration at the box office. It just won't spur the zombielike following we've come to expect from your meer extreme Twilight fan.
My comment: No! Pag Twilight, Twilight lang, wala nang iba! (Twilight is Twilight and nothing else more!)

When we reached my home pagina mason was crying and reenesme was trying to comfort her little brother.Alice and esme were talking very fast so I only caught little bits and pieces of the conversation .But it seemed that we were going to have to wait till edward and jacob and the other boys came back.while esme and alice were disscussing the subject reenesme and i were trying to comfort mason.At the same time i was worriying about edward I noticed reenesme looked very deep in thought.Then alll of the sudden esme is calling me ,my daughter,and my son to come quickly.Whehn we got there alice looked like she would be crying if she could cry.When I asked her what was wrong all she managed to choke out was Edward.Imediatly I knew something very bad had happened.
Ok guys i correct all my writings i hope u can understand them better!! please comment!!!
I didn't know how my life will be as vampire, how things should work with Charlie and Mom, keeping my self away from them is torturing my self.
I felt like I’m trapped without an exit
the only thing that keeps me strong is my family
Edward and Rennesme, now that they are not in meer danger I feel meer in peace.
But what will I should tell Charlie when the time to verplaats arrives?
How will he react to this, He will have too many vragen and how I suppose to explain it to him? I think that he already knows what we really are, but he is too scared to say it of just think about it.
But what I really know right now is that we are veilig and will start our Happy Ever After no matter what happen of what people think about us.
