Now that Twilight is almost over, will The Hunger Games sinema fill the void for fans?
—Elliott, Connecticut, via the inbox
wewe 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 au may not launch the inayofuata Kristen Stewart:
Kick-Ass actresses Chloe Moretz and Lyndsy Fonseca both have been floated as possible fits for protagonist Katniss Everdeen. Abigail Breslin is alisema 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 zaidi than capable—if not exactly the right color—and would surely captivate the frenzied mashabiki 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 kwa right elements I mean:
1. A boneless doormat of a female lead with about as much personality as a piece of cold uyoga 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 zaidi extreme Twilight fan.
My comment: No! Pag Twilight, Twilight lang, wala nang iba! (Twilight is Twilight and nothing else more!)

Edward's Pov.
I wake up, finding myself asleep, in ropes, mouth covered. Everyone else is sleeping,
and I can't break myself out of it. Then, Jasper and the man, come in. I pretend to sleep.
"Should we do it now? au later?"
"The killing of Bella? We will wait until she goes through what these guys experienced,
then, we will do them first. Then her."
No. No. NO!!!!! I must get my self out of this! I must find Bella and fast!!
What am I going to do! I can't get myself out!
Rosalie: Uh...
Jasper: Looks like sumbody's up! Can we do it now master? Please!?
Just so I know what to do with the others?
Master: Alright, but just her.
Rosalie: AH Mrjekjsnubgu!!!
NO!!! NOT ROSALIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its short sorry. its supposed to be a cliff hanger. the inayofuata one is a lot longer.
I promise.
Bella's Pov.
We all looked at each other. That scream was SO familiar. Where's Alice?
Alice?
"Alice? Alice where are you?!" I shouted.
Then there was another yell coming from the middle door.
Then we realized. Alice went ahead of us and went towards the middle
section. We all ran as fast as we could. Edward smashed the door
and there they were. Alice, The mysterious man, and Jasper, with
mysterious purple eyes.
"Surprised to see me?" the man and Jasper alisema at once.
I promise.

Renesmee Pov.
I was excited when I heard that I got to do what my family does!
I was happy until now. That sign creeped me out. Greatly. Mom and
Dad were in front of the crowd, and I stood in the back inayofuata to Emmett
and Rosalie. Uncle Emmett hugged me. He knew that I was dyingly scared.
"It will be okay. Uncle Jasper will be back to normal in no time," he alisema gently.
"Right. He will be fine," Aunt Rosalie said.
Suddenly, the large door opened, then, mom and dad entered proudly.
__________________________________________________
I felt a chill spread through my body. Though, I felt like I need to help Jasper. He needs
help. My help.
As we entered the black castle, it was pitch black. There was a bondfire ahead of us and
it wasn't just a regular fire! IT MOVED! It showed us the way until we reached the main room.
Then there were three doors. Through the middle, we heard yelling and screaming from a
girl.
