sanguinity: woodcut by M.C. Escher, "Snakes" (Default)

I'd have to re-read the book, but going off of memory, the book didn't strike me like that was about cookies, either. But when I imagined the movie version, with Amandla Stendberg and Jennifer Lawrence, and the simplified big gestures of things... Yeah, I was dreading that airmailed bread.

And yanno, I'd rather see Rue properly grieved for than her death all but ignored a la Darwin in XMFC (I wish to god I could consider that a spoiler), but after a bit, it starts looking like Katniss's grief is more important than Rue's death. And so forth. It's like playing whack-a-trope.

...although not having Jennifer Lawrence in that part would have helped lots.

Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.
