A Hunger Games trailer!

Hooray!!

Let's take a look:


1.  Thank you, Jennifer Lawrence.
2.  Thank you, whoever cast Jennifer Lawrence.
3.  I appreciate the understated visuals.  I mean yes, there's fire and falling trees and whatnot, but they didn't bust out the big special-effects shots (maybe they're not done yet, actually), which is nice for the first trailer.  It means that we're really just focused on our hero, Katniss Everdeen, which I like.
4.  Okay, why am I hearing some dude's voice?  Yes, I know it's probably Gale, saying perfectly reasonable things that the character would say.  Or maybe it's Peeta.  The point though: I don't care what those dudes think Katniss can do or, in fact, what they think about anything.  Can we lose the (kinda blah) music, can we lose the irrelevant male narrator and get either some good old-fashioned feet-running-through-the-woods sounds, maybe some warrior-girl-breathing-a-little-rapidly-'cause-she's-running-like-the-awesome-woman-she-is sounds?  Or maybe she could narrate, since the whole freakin' book is from her perspective???
5.  Bow-and-arrow!  Check her out!  She is so cool!!  Whatever she just aimed at and shot in two nanoseconds is toast!
6.  Thank you, Jennifer Lawrence.
7.  Thank you, Suzanne Collins.
