I just finished Hunger Games this morning and was ready to jump to Catching Fire immediately. Then I read a wiki synopsis and lost interest in the rest of the books, but with everyone in this thread raving about it, I'm going to take a short walk to Barnes & Noble (oh how I miss Borders) right now. I'm still on the fence about Mocking Jay though.
I saw a trailer when I went to the movies a couple of weeks ago but paid it no attention as I wasn't familiar with the series. I checked out a couple of the links in this thread and one had a trailer to watch and it kind of fell flat for me. It might be that I'm too close after having recently finished the book. As for casting, I haven't seen Winter's Bone so I can't comment on her acting chops, but I'm very underwhelmed by the choice of Jennifer Lawrence. I just don't see Katniss in her. I think the casting for Rue and Haymitch are spot on, and I can see Lenny as Cinna.
