South Florida!! Want To Guarantee You'll Meet Jennifer Lawrence And Other Cast From THE HUNGER GAMES? Here's Your Chance!!
The Kidd here...
I started buying into THE HUNGER GAMES awhile back, as everyone I knew who had read the Suzanne Collins trilogy of novels couldn't stop telling me about how great they were. The trailers were enough to get me interested, but, upon finally picking up the first book and blowing through it in a few days, I now understood what all the excitement was about. It was a solid read that never really let up, and I'm hoping, as a result, we're going to get a film adaptation that plays the same way.
Screenings have been selling out left and right since tickets went on-sale, and it's a bit of an understatement to say that Lionsgate has effectively been whipping the die-hard fans of the series into a frenzy as we get closer to March 23. In fact, they're taking the cast of THE HUNGER GAMES around on a mall tour in some major cities to meet the fans, and it just so happens to South Florida is a stop along the way. On Thursday, March 8, members of the cast will be paying a visit to the Westfield Broward Mall in Plantation, FL, where you'll have a chance to meet Alexander Ludwig (Cato), Amandla Stenberg (Rue) and Katniss Everdeen herself, Jennifer Lawrence.
There will be a Q&A with the cast that is free and open to the public at the mall, starting at 6:00 p.m., so feel free to come out and enjoy yourself, but, for a select few AICN readers, I've got quite the special opportunity for you.
I've got the chance for five fans of THE HUNGER GAMES to win wristbands for them and a guest that guarantees them entry into a meet & greet with the cast earlier in the afternoon (additional info will be provided to winners), where you'll walk away with an autographed poster from the cast in attendance. Worth playing for? Hells yeah.
Tell me what special skill you'd show off for the Gamemakers that might get you the best odds of winning these wristbands. Don't know who the Gamemakers are? Then you're probably not the most-deserving of these wristbands. If you do, then you have some pretty good idea what you need to do to showcase your talents and fandom for THE HUNGER GAMES to come away victorious here.
Send in your name, answer and mailing address (THIS is very important) to Contests@AintItCool.com with the following subject line exactly (in all CAPS):
MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN MY FAVOR
You've got until Sunday night, March 4, at 11:59 p.m. EST to impress me, and winners will be decided by morning. Do NOT forget to send in your address, as, if picked, you'll be getting a FedEx with your bands and some guidelines not too long after, but, if we don't have a place to send them to, then you can't possibly win.
Thanks to Lionsgate for really setting up this awesome opportunity, and good luck to you all.
May the odds be ever in your favor.

"Bunch of tourists, old jews, and Mexicans. Whoop-de-friggin' doo. How about REAL America next time?"

Still looks infinitely gay and clearly catering to the Twilight crowd. Also, LOL at a character named "Primrose Evergreen"

Do you get a free Hunger Games pencil topper?

Screw this new guy, and his insistence on bringing some pretty cool opportunities the way of the South Florida AICN readers. What a dick. Clearly he has some motivation behind all of his actions, like he loves movies, or he wants to see the AICN community continue to expand. He's probably... oh, wait... damn!! I don't think this is going to work out, although I clearly see how it's much more fun to hate everything.
-
I mean come on, we're getting hammered with Tornadoes right now, why not a special showing of Twister or Wizard of Oz for us?
-
Like a special fish sandwich or something?
-
on the condition he move to south florida, of course.
Expand the community -
Awesome.
Tried for about 15 seconds to come up with one- then I came to my senses and decided to leave it to the pros.
Excelsior! -
sorry.

FIRST TEN IN LINE GET A GUARANTEED CHANCE TO EAT A SANDWICH
Thanks to Lionsgate for really setting up this awesome opportunity -
This site for a good many years was a source for movie news, movie rumor, script reviews, test screening reviews, movie reviews, talent interviews, etc... In the past few months many of the posts on here are nothing more than PR releases for the studios. I show up for the talkbacks, so it doesn't really bother me, but if the talkbacks were gone, there would be little point to come to this site other than Quint's interviews and Pic of the Day stuff.

Hunger Games sounds like a reality eating show that would be on FOX or NBC.

Nothing I would like more than diving into her muff and spending hours licking up her honey till she creates more, more, more, ah. Then when she is all spent, driving my bee sting into her hive and letting it rest the night away inside her warm moist hive.
All the while listening to Led Zeppelin. -
We are a real community, I swear to YHWH. Headquarters of Scientology? The city that ate Kerouac? Herro? Winter the dolphin? Heerrrroooooo? We had a showing of JAWS at the Capitol Theatre in Clearwater when they were filming A DOLPHIN'S TALE. They showed it in fucking 4:3. If it wasn't for charity, I would have fucking walked out.
So yeah, I will be your new Tampa Bay correspondent. Go Rays! FACT!!! Chopped! And so forth! -
This chick I used to bang sent me some pics from the Superman shoot in Chicago!!! FACT!!!

That last post was uncalled for- cuz you are a new untested mystery...
Please check out my latest post (at you) under the Raven McCoy Lorax review.
And lighten up a little til you earn your stripes!
You're the new Bartender, we're the old regulars,
and defending Raven and general shillery is just making you look bad.
You know- everybody loves Quint, and he takes more shit in a day than most dog-walkers...
but it's in-house buddy-buddy buy-you-a-beer meet-my-sister shit...
There IS a difference. For example: It's exactly the opposite of the shit that Raven is taking right... about... NOW.
(and, no, it's not a gender thing.) -
South Florida is the shit.
regards,
ME

Choppah, it's friday. Who better to nominate than Jennifer Lawrence?

that the books were enjoyable, but terribly flawed. One of the biggest problems (among many) was that the romance seemed to be shoehorned in, at least where Gale was concerned. To be honest, if you excised his character from the series, you wouldn't really lose much. It felt like the love triangle was a last minute addition meant only to satisfy the emotional fantasies of the teen/tween female audience.
Instead, you have a useless character whose only sole purpose was to add unnecessary and distracting romantic tension, when Peeta and Kat's relationship had plenty of tension to begin with. -
Realize how fucking stupid they look. I get being bitter and hating everything but some of you guys fired a little too quick this time.
Why also do you people seem to just get mad at every city that gets a screening? Finally one that's not Austin, Chicago, NY or LA and you guys flip shit? Pretty lame. -
....Delray Beach is nice, love drinking down at Bostons on the beach, and of course Ft. Lauderdale is always a good time. Miami is kind of a hole, but it's a nice place to stop on your way to the Keys..... Ahhhh the Keys, the crystal clear waters of Islamorada call to me..... and it's been far too long since i've been to a bar crawl on Duval Street. *sigh*
wait...... what were we talking about? the hunger games? fuck man, if you live is south florida why waste ANY time in a fucking dark ass movie theater? -
So you can wish to do all sorts of things to her, as long as they don't get to creepy or perverted.
-
Wow. He really lost it, didn't he? What kind of person reacts to a website like that? Not one you want to be around, that's for sure.
-
I can't wait to see how they'll film that.
