Although it makes me nuts sometimes, there's definitely perks to my job: swag from media reps.
One of our magazine reps sent a note to us asking us to reply with "Team Gale" or "Team Peeta". I got my Team Peeta* shirt in the mail along with a $20 AMC gift card for the movie. WOO!
*I'm hoping I still like Peeta by the end of the series. I'm almost done with book two. I feel like I should like Gale, but I can't help but like Peeta.

I want one! 
Has anyone else had a hard time finding copies of "Catching Fire?" I don't have a Kindle so I am still a paper book gal...can't find a copy anywhere!

It can go either way, for me.

Only after I finished the books could I choose one over the other.

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.

Personally, I think Jennifer Lawrence is PERFECT for Katniss. She seems to be a solid actress and I believe she embodies the spirit of Katniss (yeah, that was kind of cheesy). Looking at the other actresses they were considering for the part, such as Abigail Breslin, Hailee Steinfeld, and Shailene Woodley, I think Jennifer is the best choice. However, I do agree with you on the casting of Rue, Haymitch and Cinna, the actors all seem to fit the parts very well. Overall, I think the casting was done beautifully and I can't wait to see the movie! Anyone else going to go to a midnight premiere?

I'm hoping I can! I will actually be visiting my fiance that weekend. Depending on whether or not he can get Friday off determines if we can go to the midnight show. If he can we'll go, if not, we'll see it Friday night.
