Coincidentally, we re-watched the original Hunger Games film just last night, because it was on Netflix and it’s just really hard not to. Also, who is this trailer “EXCLUSIVE” to? I can’t figure that out. I think it’s exclusive to YouTube. Just like everything. We’re all exclusive to YouTube. [ETA: It’s “exclusive” to the MTV Movie Awards. Except also, it’s completely inclusive to everybody who has the internet. So it’s kinda confusing, actually.] Anyhow, I wish we could fast-forward to the part of my life where I’m sitting in a 400-deep line of humans who advance-purchased opening night tickets for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire!
So uh, what do you think?

I think it was exclusive to MTV because it aired during the movie awards.
It just needs to be in theaters NOW, I must see it!

The trailer convinces me that the movie will live up to my expectations.
I got chills watching the District 11 uprising, just like during the first movie!

I FEEL VERY VERY VERY EXCITED.

Trying to explain the meaning of the hunger salute to friends is going to be much easier now that it’s on Netflix.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
^ my reaction too!
As our friend Whitney might say, ~Not gonna lie~, serious chills happening over here.
WHY IS IT SO FAR AWAYYYYYY
Why didn’t Katniss get whipped across the face like she was supposed to? It’s so much worse than a stupid punch.
The whistle at the end, oh my GOD I’M SO HYPE.
I can’t stop watching this trailer… Help. For real though, this movie looks amazing! I also hope for a In Your Box Office sequel.
Made an account to talk about this…IT looks good, and we shall all see what is to come ;)
OH YES. Oh so totally yes. Can we have archery lessons at ACamp, please?
true story, I’m making a bow next weekend so maybe I can just teach everyone at camp!
