The Hunger Games Fan web-飢餓遊戲

話說我前幾天終於抽空去看HG拉

整個從頭笑到尾(雖然對選角還是很不滿意)

學舌鳥胸章的部分燒燒的做了修改

感覺上好像變得沒甚麼來頭....但意義反而變深了....

雖然我看的時候一職心想'說不定根本就是那東西帶來厄運吧?!還保平安哩"

For fans of the young-adult series "The Hunger Games," this is a banner week. The film version opens to U.S. audiences this coming Friday, and the cast has been on a global tour for the last week at official premieres in cities around the world.

It struck me when I looked at this photo from the German premiere a couple of days ago that the dresses worn by Elizabeth Banks, left (who plays Effie Trinket), and Jennifer Lawrence (who plays heroine Katniss Everdeen in the film and is in a hand-draped lace frock by Marchesa here) look like they could stand in for the flame dress that Katniss wears in the story -- at least, judging by their color they could.

The flame dress proved a particular challenge for costume designer Judianna Makovsky. I mean, how do you design a dress that's going to burst into flames without hurting the wearer? Los Angeles Times Fashion Critic Booth Moore talked with Makovsky and found out the answer to this as well as other considerations that went into costuming the populace of the dystopian universe of "The Hunger Games." Moore writes about it in this week's Image section.

I have a hunch that the costumes, as well as hairstyles and makeup in the movie, are going to spark some trends we'll be seeing plenty of this spring and summer on the streets of Los Angeles.

The Young Hollywood Studio plays host to 'Hunger Games' tributes Alexander Ludwig, Dayo Okeniyi, and Isabelle Fuhrman -- find out who would prefer night-vision goggles over a knife while in the woods, what kind of song the actors would want to accompany their characters' arena entrance, and what Emmy-winning comedienne one star would love to have as a partner during the battle!

Hobnobbing helps you get to know the album's featured artists through their best works.

On Monday, Taylor Swift will enter the MTV arena to debut the music video for her Civil Wars collaboration, "Safe and Sound," which appears on the "Hunger Games" soundtrack. And following the premiere, the country cutie will stick around MTV.com for an exclusive 30-minute interview about the lead single, her upcoming projects and more. So for Peeta's sake, tune in, OK?

But as any "Hunger Games" fan can attest, Swift isn't the only artist to be reaped for the T-Bone Burnett-produced companion album (out March 20). Arcade Fire, the Decemberists, Neko Case and Miranda Lambert are all reportedly contributing to the effort. So to prepare for what's sure to be an epic soundtrack, we've asked several music experts to recommend top tunes from each performer—a pre-Games playlist, if you will. So put down your bow and arrow, grab your earbuds and settle in with these hand-picked selections:

The Decemberists
"No shortage of truly great tunes (with truly epic titles) from the Pacific Northwest's leading purveyors of erudite indie. From the hard-charging horns of 'Sixteen Military Wives' (off 2005's Picaresque) to the 12-string shimmy of 'Down by the Water' (from last year's The King Is Dead) — with proggy dalliances like 'You'll Not Feel the Drowning' and 'The Prettiest Whistles Won't Wrestle the Thistles Undone' in between — the 'rists have never met a genre they wouldn't tackle ... or a song title they couldn't stretch to infinity. — James Montgomery, Rock Writer, MTV News

For our fellow "Hunger Games" fans who are following each and every detail released about the upcoming big-screen adaptation, one of the key questions is how the filmmakers will address the fact that a large amount of the story is told via Katniss' inner monologue. Will we be hearing Jennifer Lawrence narrate throughout the film via voice-over or will we see the action from multiple characters' perspectives?

Today is our lucky day, because we have an answer straight from director Gary Ross himself, who told MTV News recently that after much careful consideration he is not using any voice-over.

"I'm not using voice-over for her. This thing is all from Katniss' perspective," he said of the story. "It is a first-person point of view. How do we put the viewer immediately and urgently in that experience they had when they read the book and they're in Katniss Everdeen's shoes? A lot of that is done cinematically. I spent a lot of time wondering and thinking about at the beginning of this process, 'What does it really mean to be in the character's point of view cinematically?' I looked at a lot of really interesting references for that, but it comes down to: You don't know more than the character knows."

Ross said we will be experiencing everything from Katniss' perspective; we just won't be hearing her talk us through it.

"You wonder about what she's wondering about, you worry about what she's worrying about," he explained. "You don't know things she doesn't know, and as such, you wander and experience things through her eyes, so that's the first job: How do we make people feel they're walking in Katniss' shoes and encountering the same obstacles and challenges she is?" he said. "A lot is done cinematically and a lot is having someone as good as Jen Lawrence."
