the idea of peeta whipping out his paint set to cosplay as a rock, whilst everyone else is killing each other still sends me

The Hunger Games

I was OBSESSED with this movie when I was 12. I remember after watching this my brother and I would go outside and pretend that we were in the hunger games. This movie is still top tier 💯 This was a major “Do I want to BE Katniss Everdeen or do I WANT Katniss Everdeen” for me 😂

The Hunger Games

8.5/10 it definitely lived up to my expectations. Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson were absolutely amazing 🫶🫶 also, i didn’t realize Liam Hemsworth was in this until over halfway through when i paused it on amazon prime and he showed up it the cast 💀💀💀
