Coming Soon, to a Blog Near You - WIP The Movie!

I'm so happy I stumbled upon Kyra Lennon and Rachel Schieffelbien blogs this morning. The two are co-hosting ... WIP THE MOVIE bloghop.

Rules:

Post pictures of the actors you would like to play characters from your book (how many is up to you). And post a song that best describes a character or your story as a whole. Fun, right!!!

 

 

I started this months ago, however, when I first started on my quest to find the perfect faces for my favorite fictional people, it took forever! I wanted each one to be perfect. I mean PERFECT. Who wants to settle? Right!?

 

 

Reese and Rena

 

Reese - Steadfast, powerful, cautious

Rena - Fly off the handle, spiteful, loyal

Tarrick

Devoted, protective, mysterious

 

 

Cain

 

Kind, dependable, hero, Tarrick's brother

Amos

"Tank", strong, loyal, Tarrick & Cain's cousin

Kirima

Humorous, trustworthy, Luka's bf, Reese's bff

Monica

Snarky, feisty, Reese's bff

I didn't pick a video but have the lyrics instead. I think reading the lyrics are better then losing the meaning of the message in music.

so you fucked this up again
it's time for you to leave
you never had many friends
and you thought this was all right
you're rushing to meditate
you should eat but probably wait
you never thought of yourself

why are you shaking
why are you right
when I will be the only one who gives
and lets you in tonight

walk you could never walk away
from this speedfreak collagen
caffinated place
you were always reaching in
looking for somewhere to go
nobody needs to find out
nobody needs to know what you know

so you wonder about the past
when you know that its already been
nothing seems to last
can it last will it last

A Few House Cleaning Items & Cassie Mae

Ummm... why does it look like Lestat bit my pop tart?

I vant to suck your fruit filling.

That leads me to; which Lestat do you like better?

How's come, as soon as I fall asleep for a nap, a kid needs me?

But who could deny that beautiful face?

Did you know Thursday is my favorite day of the week? Why? I have no idea. Maybe its one more day closer to Friday. Friday should really be my favorite day; Spartacus and Grimm are on that night. Or maybe, when Lost first came on; it was on Thursday nights along with Survivor and CSI (original). Gosh I miss Lost!

Last night I see that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part 1 was on so I tune in. Uhhh it's in spanish! Who is messin' with the language setting on the TV? I figure it out, shit!, I'm on HBOLE! Duh! Thank heavens it was regular HBO. *wipes forehead*

My A to Z Challenge is coming along...

Hope you all have an amazing Thursday!

P.S. ~~~ Peeta for Cassie Mae

Let The Games Begin! The Love, The Help, The Others

Last week I posted about the Tributes that will be portrayed in The Hunger Games film. This week it’s all about the Benjamin’s everyone else. From the Capitol to District 12.

And so there was a love triangle. Isn’t there always? The boy to call Katniss – “Catnip”

Gale Hawthorne

An 18-year-old boy who is Katniss's best friend and hunting partner. Like Katniss, he has black hair, olive skin, and gray eyes. While hunting, the pair combined their respective talents, his at trapping and hers at archery, to become a highly effective team. Their success makes them fixtures at District 12's black market, the Hob, where they trade their illegal game for other valuable items. Gale has three siblings: Rory, Vick and Posy.

Primrose Everdeen

Nicknamed "Prim", is Katniss's younger sister. She was 12 years old with blonde hair and blue eyes. Her name was chosen at the reaping for the 74th Hunger Games, and it was in order to save her that Katniss volunteers in her place.

Mrs. Everdeen

She is Katniss's mother. She was raised in town as the daughter of an apothecary, and subsequently had a fairly comfortable life. She gave it all up to marry Katniss's father and move to the Seam, where she lived in impoverished and starvation-level conditions.

Haymitch Abernathy

A "paunchy, middle-aged man" who was the victor of the 50th Hunger Games. Back 24 years before the series begins, he became the victor for District 12. After winning his games, he became an alcoholic and had spent almost all of his intervening life intoxicated to the point of embarrassment. Being the only surviving Hunger Games champion from District 12; one of only two in the history of the games. Haymitch is forced to mentor all of its tributes. He is often sarcastic and anything but sober. However, when pushed, he emerges as the pair's greatest advocate and shows himself to be astute as he guides his charges in a cleverly designed, unorthodox strategy aimed at ensuring the survival of both tributes.

Cinna

Katniss's stylist, responsible for her public appearance. After designing the spectacular outfits of the opening ceremony, he nicknames Katniss, "the girl on fire." Despite his professional interest in image, he sees through the superficial show of the Games to their cruel basic, using outfits as a way to prompt hypothetically risky notions.

Effie Trinket

A capitol-born chaperone who gets stuck with District 12 in the Hunger Games. At first, she loathes her attachment with District 12. Effie later becomes attached to Katniss and Peeta. She has bright pink hair [wig]. She seems totally unaware to the hardships of District 12, although whether this behavior is intentional or not. She is very strict about manners and is always punctual.

President Coriolanus Snow

Is the dictatorial ruler of the Capitol and all of Panem. Though apparently laid-back, this hides a psychopathic mind. He first appears in The Hunger Games when he crowns Katniss and Peeta as victors.

Caesar Flickerman

A popular Capitol reporter who is famous for conducting interviews for the Hunger Games for more than 40 years. Described as wearing a "ceremonial suit, midnight blue dotted with a thousand tiny electric bulbs" and having a heavily powdered face and hair that the color changes every year as does the tributes, giving every different games a different color, he is somewhat freakish in his appearance to Katniss's District eyes. He is easygoing with most, if not all people, and is excellent at making the tributes "shine."

Avox girl

A servant girl whose tongue has been cut out for being a traitor. She has red hair, porcelain skin, and striking features. Because of her inability to speak, Katniss does not know her name or anything about her. Katniss recognizes her from when she and Gale witnessed the girl's capture and the death of her friend. Katniss later speculates that she is a runaway from the Capitol.

Seneca Crane

The Head Gamemaker during the 74th Hunger Games who lets both, Katniss and Peeta lives.

I would love be on this couch!

Cinna, Effie, Haymitch, Katniss, Peeta, Avox (standing in red), etc...

Is there anyone I haven't listed you'd like to see portrayed in the movies?

My A to Z Challenge Prep

Are you getting you “ish” together for the A to Z Challenge starting April 1^st? You have 26 days. Yup, 26 days. 1 day for each letter of the Alphabet. Get started now and you should be prepared come the first day of April.

Are you a Panster or Plotter?

This is what my Excel Spreadsheet looks like…

It’s a tad blurry… on purpose… I don’t want to give away all my secrets. Even though if you look hard enough, I'm sure you can figure some of it out.

I have 5 Genre's + 26 letters each = 130 topics. Granted I had to get a little creative with the typical BRAIN-BURNER letters like Q, X, and Z.

Seems like I have a lot to cover in April. Hence the word CHALLENGE. I am willing to challenge myself. Are you?

Not that you need several categories to feel challenged, but I hope you are pushing your envelope a little.

I have gotten 3 of my A’s done. See the highlights?

Gotta go. I have more work that needs to be done!

Live long and prosper… Good luck!

Teenage Heartthrob Blogfest

Sarah Ahiers, Vic Caswell, and Emily White are hosting Teenage Heartthrob Blogfest!

I’ve seen this bloghop all over my dashboard and thought “what the heck, I’ll do it too.” Apparently I’m blogging buddies with most of you peeps that signed up.

This will be my 3 post for the day! Enjoy!

List up to 7 people that you crushed on as a teen. This took a little time as most of my heartthrobs have changed drastically.

7. Andrew Keegan – Once I laid eyes on him in Independence Day, I needed to know who that dark haired sex pot was.

6. Jason & Jeremy London – My first crush on Jason was in Man on the Moon and followed by my fav cult classic, Dazed and Confused. Jeremy caught my attention in Party of Five & 7^th Heaven. Double my pleasure!

5. Kurt Cobain – Nirvana changed my life in high school

4. Leonardo DiCaprio – Where do I begin? He was everywhere from Critters 3 – This Boy’s Life – What’s Eating Gilbert Grape – The Basketball Diaries – Romeo + Juliet I dreamt about this guy!

3. Eric Balfour – Tall, dark, handsome = yum! This Step by Step & Boy Meets World one hit wonder moved on to making movies like Texas Chainsaw Massacre & Skyline. He is still one of my favs.

2. Freddie Prinze Jr. – Duh! Who didn’t like FPJ? Even though it was in my later teen years – I Know What You Did Last Summer helped soar him to my runner up position.

1. Heath Ledger – Since busting on to the scene in 1999 for his flick – 10 Things I Hate About You, I’ve never loved another. The movies that followed – The Patriot, Monster’s Ball, A Knight’s Tale, etc

Plus he had the sexiest accent! – BONUS!

R.I.P.

And there you have it! My top 7 (90's) Teenage Heartthrobs!
