Dear Hollywood.

I don't ask for much. Sometimes I get unbelievably excited for your movies, but most of the time, I just let you do your thing.

But I am asking you, begging you: omfg please cast Jensen Ackles as Finnick Odair in the Hunger Games series.



From the (spoiler ridden) Hunger Games wiki:

Katniss views Finnick as being kind, though a bit conceited. He was described as being extremely handsome. He was tall, muscular, and athletic, with golden skin, bronze-colored hair, and "incredible" sea green eyes. Katniss also states that he has a seductive purr which he used on her when they met in the 3rd Quarter Quell.

~Incredible~ sea green eyes? BAM. Bronze-colored hair? DONE. Seductive purr? HE'S BEEN PERFECTING THAT SINCE SEASON 4, OKAY. CLEARLY Jensen is the only obvious choice here.

PLUS, he can play the woobiest woobie that ever woobied SO incredibly well, which would be perfect for that section of Mockingjay when he was basically, you know, mentally incapacitated. But then he would die (death by mutated lizards ;_;) and I would cry my eyes out more than should be healthy. SEE, HE'S HAD PLENTY OF DEATH SCENES TO WORK WITH TOO. If you cast anyone else, Hollywood, I will set you on fire.



I honestly don't want the Hunger Games trilogy to be made into movies, though. They're probably going to Hollywood-ize it to high heaven and ruin that feel that it has. I could be wrong; I hope so. Just... at LEAST cast people who are relative unknowns (I've seen a couple articles that have the audacity to suggest Taylor Butterface Lautner as Gale, which, UH, NO AND ALSO NO) and who aren't prolific. And I hope they don't have Katniss go the route of what I like to call the "Scarlett Johansson Action Movie Syndrome," where she's beautiful! and her hair never goes out of place! and she has boobs! and she kicks ass! Which, hey, there's nothing wrong with a hot girl kicking ass, but when the sexiness that they're flaunting begins to overcome her actual character? Not cool. But, I mean, Katniss is only sixteen, so I think they won't go that route, but still, aughhh, I wouldn't put it past anybody.

OPINIONS AND STUFF.

My friends should be here soon and then we're going to attempt to watch Run Lola Run. Last time we tried we ended up just putting on my dvd of MXC and talking for like, three hours. BUT I NEED HARDCORE GERMAN TECHNO MUSIC IN MY LIFE.

I'm kinda dying a little bit at the thought of Jensen as Finnick. UNF UNF UNF. That would be most amazing. UGH, he could do it SO WELLLLL. Now I'm going to be heartbroken when they cast some idiot I don't like. I just, sigh. I feel like they could actually make decent movies if they stayed true to the books, but you just know they won't. feh.

Run Lola Run is one of my faaaavorites. I used to watch it a lot right after high school. LOL, it was one of my favorite movies to get stoned and watch. I still listen to songs off the soundtrack pretty regularly. Good driving music! And working out! And cleaning! And, well, everything.

PS: less than a week! eeeeee!

OMG I KNOW RIGHT. Honestly, as soon as they gave the description on him, that's ALL I could think about. AND UGHHHH I KNOOOW. The whole time I'm going to be watching the latter two movies I'll be crying into my popcorn because, dammit, if anyone deserves a role like that, it's Jensen. BAWWW.

Ahaha oh man, Run Lola Run WOULD be a good movie to get stoned to. I almost always listen to the soundtrack when I'm working out, and especially when I'm running, haha.

AHHHH SIX DAYS AAAHH!

I KNOW ME TOOO. And it's got the lampy smash and everything! Though this has slightly ruined it for me. WHUPS.

GET ON IT, WOMAN! I know this tall redhead you can borrow them from. :D

Is this that series you and L were telling me I need to read? I think it's on my to-do list, but if there is a Jensen-esque dude in it? I AM SO THERE.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Yes yes! And even Jensen-esque characters aside, it's SUCH an addicting series. I can't wait for you to read it so we'll have MORE books to talk about together, haha!

I'm too lazy to look it up, but ET Weekly recently did a "who would you cast" article about Hunger Games. It mostly was people I'd never heard of, but since they were reader noms, they're people SOMEONE has heard of, haha.

ANYWAY. The producers wrote in and noted that some of their top choices were on the list too but they declined to say WHO. Intriguing!

ETA: Finnick is 24?!?! Holy crap, I always pictured him as about 65, no joke. WHOOPS.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Oh, I saw that! I agreed with some of them, but for others I was like, yeaaah, no. People suggested RDJ or Hugh Laurie for Haymitch, which might be FUN and awesome, but I'd have so much trouble separating them and what they've done from that character. But still! I am VERY interested to hear the preliminary ideas that they have, especially if some on the list WERE people who they had chosen! EEEP.

Haha! I definitely didn't picture him being as young as 24; more like mid to late 30's, myself.

Sarah using a Sam on Sam icon! I WUV HUGS AND YOU.

Ok, about this Hunger Games business. I haven't finished Mockingjay yet (THANKS for ruining the death scene! Oh just kidding.) but when I read Finnick in Catching Fire Jensen seriously came to mind. Love this character, and that would be a perfect match. Now it's this Jared as Cato rumor that I need to squash. Just because he's got gigantic darks doesn't mean we have to put him as that awful character! What about Thresh?

[caithream.livejournal.com]

OMG NOOOOOO I suck! DDDD: I honestly didn't even think about that, I'm sorry! But whaaaat! Jared as Cato? Haha oh man. Thresh would be AWESOME, though I wonder if Jared could still pull off the 18-year-old look!

[whispered-theme.livejournal.com]

OH GOOOOD, that scene from Metamorphosis. Rewatching it gives me chills. I miss the days of that chemistry and angst with the boys.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

RIGHT? Oh season fouuuur. What's ironic is how many people, during all that stuff happening during that season, were all like, boooo, I miss how they acted together in season TWO! Man, we've come a looong way from then.
