I'm looking forward to the movies. From what I've seen, they've done a pretty great job at sticking as close as possible to the imagery in the book.

I know, I know. But with all the CGI capabilities, I'd think it'd be possible to do it. I'll reserve judgment for this once I actually see the movies.
I saw the trailer prior to another movie I saw over the holidays. It wasn't any different from the trailer MC linked earlier, but I guess I paid more attention. It appears to me, from just a brief glimpse of Prim at the reaping, that Madge will not be the one who gives Katniss the pin. I hope I saw that wrong, because that would kinda bum me out. Yes, it's minor (as is K's backpack being black instead of orange, and the possible change in her attire), but it stands out enough to merit commenting on.
Regarding the third book, I really liked it. Yes, it lacked a Hunger Game, but IMO the battle made up for it. It did seem to end abruptly, but considering everything that happened (and Collins' insistence that each book have exactly 27 chapters), I can see why it ended the way it did. I, too, missed the old Peeta, but the 'new' Peeta brought a (much-needed) added dimension to the plot.
All in all, an excellent series. I'm more excited about the movies now that I've finished the lot. Looking forward to watching it play out on the big screen.
