The Demographics
The title of this article sounds like a girl group circa 1965, they sway a lot, and they wear color coordinated outfits, they also say “shoop” a lot, and “na, na, na“. Okay, maybe they don’t, but they might say this– I think the demographic for The Hunger Games franchise has finally reached beyond what the studio originally thought it was, i.e. teenage girls, and their boyfriends being reluctantly dragged to the movie theatre, also possibly parents being dragged to the movies as well.
It’s no big reveal when I say that none of the writers who work for Victor’s Village fall into any of those categories, yep– we’re all women, childless, and all over the age of 25, unless of course we’re lying, and we’re really all 12, 14, and 17, in love with Justin Bieber, and have no idea who Anne Frank is. It’s also no big reveal when I state, at least for me, it’s been difficult being a fan of this series when according to society, I’m not supposed to like it. I’ve personally never thought of The Hunger Games trilogy as a series that’s a cookie cutter young adult novel 
series, it’s just very well– adult to me. True, there’s no sex, there’s no swearing, which also according to society teenagers don’t ever do, therefore it’s left out of a large chunk of the literature that’s geared towards that age bracket. But, yeah– if young adults aren’t having sex, and not swearing, than someone better get me a TARDIS, so I can go back in time and tell probably 80% of the people I knew in high school and college, to well– stop having of the sex, and swearing like sailors.
How, or why do I think the demographic has changed though? Three words, Iron Man 3. Yep, yesterday at Cinemacon in Las Vegas it was announced by Francis Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, and Elizabeth Banks, that The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’s first teaser trailer will be attached to Iron Man 3 when it’s released in the next several weeks. Iron Man 3‘s demographic is not teenager girls, it’s just not– Iron Man 3‘s demographic is actually young adult males ages 12 and up, and dominantly this audience has also read the source material that Iron Man 3 will be based on. Kind of a sharp pivot to the left, don’t ya’ think? Especially considering that The Hunger Games‘ first teaser trailer, and first full length trailer were both attached to the teenage girls Mecca of a film franchise, The Twilight Saga.
Times are a-changin’, and they come with comic books.

Crack That Whip!
Possibly pre-whipping?
Last week, our dear Gale (fact: sometimes I find myself typing “Gale” instead of “Liam Hemsworth” and it’s NOT on purpose… except for this time) was in the Philippines promoting clothing brand Bench/, and during a press event, he talked very briefly about filming the infamous whipping scene in Catching Fire.
Did we seriously think they were going to leave that scene out? No. But is it nice to hear confirmation that it’s in there? Sure.
Fact is, the whipping scene and the aftermath of it is the majority of Gale’s involvement in Catching Fire the book. Except for a couple of scenes here and there (including a kiss and the ULTIMATE cliffhanger line at the very end, which of course are major), but he is mainly back in District 12 slaving away in the mines while Katniss and Peeta are being victors and victor-tributes and all that entails. We kind of have to leave Gale in the mines for most of the book, but since Gale is one of the three major characters in the series, his whipping scene is what reminds us that Liam Hemsworth is in this trilogy and has a huge part in it. That and maybe some cutaways to his character during the Quarter Quell (let’s limit those this time, eh Francis Lawrence?).
Now, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire will need to be PG-13, so don’t expect any Passion of the Christ-esque scenes. We’re guessing it will mostly be done off screen or shown very quickly and briefly. Katniss and Peeta do come in at the end of it. But it’ll be there, and Katniss will be in hysterics (will she get hit with the whip though?) and so will we, or at least wince and screw up our faces a little.
So rest easy. We know of one horrific scene that will definitely be in the movie. Now for all the others…
When a problem comes along…

PS
I’m sorry, but the Devo song got stuck in my head halfway through this post.
LyKe OMG, Have U Heard?!
OMG prepare to weep bc sources say there is some hardcore dramz going down! There’s like… a total celebrity relationship meltdown going on right under our noses!
Look! A snarky photo representing a split! WE ARE SO CLEVAR!
ICYMI, Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus are TOTES on the road to Splitsville!
It’s a fact, bc every gossip site has the dish and we all know they are 110% TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH.
How do they know? Well, Hemsy went to Australia to visit his family without Miley! Who cares if it was a nice opportunity to see his loved ones before a contractually obligated event in the Philippines? It doesn’t matter if Miley is smack up against the deadline to finish her new record, she should have ignored her career and GONE! Any couple that doesn’t go on every. single. trip. together IS DOOMED.
While he was in Australia, Liam also bought a house. It MUST be a bachelor pad bought in preparation for the breakup, because celebrity couples NEVER own more than one house, especially not a house in each of their home nations!
And then and then and then Liam got in a car with January Jones after the Oscars. So what if they’re friends according to some sources? Other sources say it was clearly a CHEATING SCANDAL and OMG we luv scandalzzz! And he let fans hug him at the Bench event in the Philippines and Perez seyz that means he’s soooo over Miley! God, that Perez guy is practically Freud!
She was all like “I was spotted without my engagement ring because it went in for repairs and yeah, the marriage is still on”, but we all see through that! She took it off when they first broke up and now she wears it again ‘cuz she’s desperately trying to save the ‘ship.
So start dreaming that pathetic dream when you meet Hemsy and make him fall in love with you, folks! Now may be your chance!
OMG WTF TBH IDK IDC LOL LMS!

*Sites that actually write articles about things like this, in this style, pop up on our Hunger Games alerts constantly. We would rather be subjected to hours of nails on a chalkboard.
Victor’s Village Capitol Portraits Breakdown!
The Capitol Portraits have been arriving all week and we are in OVERLOAD MODE! Rather than only dedicate a skimpy paragraph to each in a typical post, we’re going old school!
For those of you who only discovered the site recently, we occasionally like to team up and BREAK IT DOWN for our audience, chat style! It’s long (hence the “Read More” tag! Click it!) and meticulous and hilariously ridiculous! Enjoy the party!
Effie Trinket
EFFIE MCQUEEN OF GENOVIA
The Girl With The Pearl: Okay ladies, let’s start with Effie!
Them There Eyes: I think they’ve upped the ante, and this was just our first taste of how far they’re potentially going.
TGWTP: Here’s my only hesitation: Is too much of one color a bad thing?
Them There Eyes: I don’t think it’s too much color at all! She’s supposed to clash, and pop, and other sounds.
Twiffidy: Yeah, too much color is very Capitol anyway.
TGWTP: I love that she’s got a regal gown with frilly but awesome shoes and SPACEMAN GLOVES!
Them There Eyes: I also love the clash of how soft her hair, shoes, and dress are in contrast to the gauntlet rings.
Twiffidy: This gave me flashbacks of when I went to the Alexander McQueen exhibit at the Met when I was in New York a couple of years ago.
Them There Eyes: I am in such hard like with Alexander McQueen… I’ve been looking at his work for years and going “Capitol, Capitol, Capitol.”
TGWTP: Alexander McQueen is the official designer of Effie Trinket. Which would technically make her totally vintage!
Them There Eyes: I know… her shoes were McQueen last year! And I’ve been pinning heelless shoes to my Panem themed pin board on Pinterest for months….. when I saw those shoes I flipped the fuck out, ’cause I’ve pinned several similar versions by McQueen.
Twiffidy: And these heelless shoes were A-MA-ZING!
TGWTP: Elizabeth Banks could wear a potato sack and look good, but Alexander McQueen definitely helps. I want to test that potato sack theory someday, though. I say that about these actors, but I need to see them in potato sacks!
Twiffidy: And I don’t know if those are bracelets or part of the glove, but I like that contrasting color, it helps break it up so there isn’t too much of the pink. And Elizabeth’s pose is perfect, very charm school with the crossed ankles.
Them There Eyes: Yes, very poised… polite, queenly. I’ve seen gloves like that before in my mother’s knitting books, they have sort of bells on them… or petals like a flower. And her pose makes me think of that sequence in the Princess Diaries.
Twiffidy: Haha yes! Very Princess Diaries! I’m waiting for her to tell Katniss to do the “Thank you for being here” wave.
TGWTP: There’s a reason that Effie always gets released first. The image demands your attention!
Twiffidy: Oh my gosh, yes… They do like to release her early!
Caesar Flickerman
A LITTLE LESS KARL LAGERFELD, A LITTLE MORE BARBIE
The Girl With The Pearl: Speaking of demanding attention, what do we think about Caesar?
Twiffidy: Funny story, I showed this to my friend and he did not even realize Caesar had a ponytail in the first movie
Them There Eyes: His hair still makes me think of one of my My Little Ponies. Her name was Rattles.
TGWTP: Well, it’s a high ponytail this time around. Caesar and Barbie now have something in common!
Twiffidy: Haha… a little less Karl Lagerfeld, a little more Barbie.
Them There Eyes: At least it doesn’t remind me of Michael Bolton anymore!
TGWTP: At first glance, I thought his hair was shaved off on the sides and I got really distressed!
Twiffidy: Did you notice his eyebrows look a little purple-y?
Them There Eyes: Yeah, they’re violet. He was already one of the more extremely styled people they had, but still it’s up a notch or two, which is what I was craving.
Twiffidy: I’m glad they stuck with the textured suit idea from the first movie and then elevated it.
TGWTP: Caesar is basically a 5-year-old’s hair color experiment.
Them There Eyes: Kool-Aid!
TWGTP: YES!
Them There Eyes: Great. Now the Kool-Aid guy is going to come crashing in here saying “Ohhhh yeaaahhh!”
Cinna
EXPERIMENTAL SEX CLUBS IN THE MATRIX
TGWTP: Then let’s run to the next victim! *cough* I mean, subject! Cinna!
Twiffidy: My male friend said he wants Cinna’s boots.
Them There Eyes: If they wanted to scream rebel in our faces, but in a sexy way…. they’ve achieved that affect.
TGWTP: I know Cinna is not very Capitol and quite understated, but I still wanted MORE. His jacket has that emperor effect, so I appreciate that.
Twiffidy: But I think the gold eye liner is still there, which is reassuring.
TGWTP: It is, which makes it okay for him to be in all black.
Them There Eyes: Why all leather though?
TGWTP: No idea! Does anyone else think the tight leather sleeves make his arms look like toothpicks?
Twiffidy: This gives me such a Matrix vibe, especially with the green background.
Them There Eyes: Yes, that’s what I was trying to grasp onto… Matrix!
TGWTP: Seriously! I’m expecting Neo and Trinity any minute now!
Them There Eyes: He looks like Morpheus’ baby brother! I’ll say this… I’m glad they got rid of the medallion necklace. He has the gold hoops in his ear, and one ring on… His accessories are set in my eyes now. But…. do we think he looks a little sex club-y?
Twiffidy: Just the forearms.
Them There Eyes: Just the arms are sex club worthy? Wow… Up your game, Cinna!
TGWTP: It could happen. Cinna could be the quiet type who actually spends all his nights getting his freak on in peculiar places.
Them There Eyes: I smell a fan-fic!
Twiffidy: Be careful what you wish for!
TGWTP: Muahahahahaha!

A Garden State of Mind
They’re really and truly not finished filming The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Did you know that? God, I hope you knew that, ’cause I knew that– but what I didn’t know, or didn’t see coming was them choosing of all places to shoot scenes from Catching Fire is… New Jersey. Get your heads out of your asses, ’cause New Jersey isn’t all Jersey Shore, with Guidos, and Juice-heads, and– whatever, I don’t watch MTV so I really can’t spout off the colloquialisms. It’s true though, Catching Fire as of today the 25th of January, was shot in part in northern New Jersey, okay at least one or two scenes– I think.
The skinny is this: Locals have been buzzing recently about permits being acquired, and locations being scouted, and today all was confirmed, because the trailers showed up, and areas of a state park called Ringwood were cornered off so Francis Lawrence and his team of misfit toys, which includes the usual suspects of Jennifer Lawrence, and I’m taking an educated guess here, possibly Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, perhaps even Mr. Woody Harrelson, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Mr. Donald Sutherland, could film there– maybe. That or they were there to play dress up and play mean game of Charades! Now, I’m speculating here, but since the location is a state park lousy with wooded areas, that they’re filming bits and bobs for scenes taking place in District 12. Please note as well that today it was very cold in Northern New Jersey, actually it’s below freezing there right now as I type, so they may be taking advantage of all the winter that’s going on, and going for authenticity where it comes to certain scenes we all remember devouring like scalding hot chocolate. I also speculate that since the park is also home to gardens, and a stately looking house, that they may be filming portions of the Capitol Victory Tour Gala, thus why Sutherland and co. might be in attendance– I really don’t know if they are, don’t hurt me if they aren’t.
Well, location, location, location as they say– I hope they feature the Garden State well. She really needs the TLC right now.
Liam Hemsworth’s Birthday Haul
Srsly, thx for the smolder
It’s still before midnight in most parts of the US and we know he’s usually chilling in California these days, so we’ve still got time to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LIAM HEMSWORTH!
At the ripe old age of 23, you’ve manage to accomplish more than most of us will by retirement: a promising career, a steady relationship, worldwide popularity, and as Flynn Rider would say, “the smolder”. Yet you have this soft-spoken bro-ish-ness about you that makes us wish that we at the Victor’s Village (unisex!) frat house could get you in on some kegstand action.
So what do you get the man who has everything he really needs? We thought long and hard over a few helpful glasses of adult refreshments, and this is what we came up with:
Gift Certificate to Steak and Shake - Remember that time Liam talked about how he found Miley sexy while eating Steak and Shake, then the media tried to turn it into a naughty food fetish when really, the guy was trying to express that he loves his girl, even in non-glamorous scenarios? Also, fast food. He DIGS that stuff. Since Catching Fire is done filming and you can gain back some of the weight you lost, eat up, Liam!
Now THIS is commitment!
Full Unicorn Costume - Once upon a time, there was a unicorn head and it was kind of awkward. But we’ve accepted it! Everyone has their *cough* interests. But frankly, ONLY wearing the head was a bit of a cop out. Commit yourself all the way or stay away from the mythical creature references, we say! Therefore, we present Liam with a full-on, mascot style unicorn uniform of hilarity.
Paparazzi-Free Week - Sure, Liam could get this by jetting off to some exclusive locale for a private vacation (which he could do… damn him!) But what about a quiet week in a major U.S. city? One where he could actually leave the house and DO things without being stalked? We know it’s too much to ask, but hey, it’s a pipe dream. Maybe someday, someone can be success and still pump gas without photos of their butt as they lean over the take off the gas cap all over the web!
That Pivotal Role - One thing Jen and Josh have that Liam doesn’t is a universally recognized role, the kind that gets you recognized as a true talent by both fans and critics. Sure, The Last Song and The Hunger Games got him noticed, but they didn’t get him taken seriously as an actor. Looks like there’s a couple of Hemsy films scheduled for release in 2013, one of which has Gary Oldman in it and thus gives us hope, so let’s see how those babies play out.
Booze - We get it for everyone and frankly, it works! As long as you avoid anything with an engine: Cars, jetskis, chainsaws…
Okay guys! What did we miss? Surely, there are some more birthday gifts that Liam Hemsworth desperately needs, he just doesn’t know it yet! Let us know in the comments!
Of Course He’s Probably Back in Australia and We Look Like The Idiots Who Totally Missed His Birthday,
The Girl With The Pearl
The Hunger Games: Sexy and We Know It
It’s official: The Hunger Games cast is sexy! Well, at least Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson and Wes Bentley, according to People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive edition! Even some of our favorite fancasts that didn’t make it to Catching Fire made the cut!
We think it’s safe to say that if it were more of a “Sexiest Persons Alive”, we’d see plenty of other cast members too– not to mention that Liam earned himself a spot in last year’s edition as well.
Of course, not everyone agrees. There’s that age-old question that Victoria’s Secret is always asking us: “What is sexy?” Perception varies from person to person, especially when you’re going off attractiveness. There’s other factors to be considered if you want people to consider you sexy and we think the cast of The Hunger Games films are very telling when it comes to these signs!
Let’s break ‘em down, shall we?
Modesty – “What? ME? Sexy? Why, I’ve never known! I find that hard to believe, as I still like to watch bad reality television while eating Spaghetti-Os in my Spongebob pajamas or something of that nature, but apparently the readers are okay with that!”
There’s something special about somebody who radiates confidence and enjoys a normal life without outwardly TRYING to be sexy. Josh Hutcherson isn’t posing half naked on a beach every time his takes a month off and for that, he is sexy.
Piercing Gaze – “Excuse me while my intense eyes burn a pathway through this photo and into your soul…”
No matter what the eye color, the ability to make someone else melt when they look at a photo or video of you is a talent! A picture is worth a thousand words… and a thousand more glances! Wes Bentley in particular wins our hearts here.
GIF-ability – “Thanks to that line or hand gesture I had in that movie, I’m an Internet sensation!”
Almost every actor in The Hunger Games wins in this category, thanks to the hilariously talented graphic designers in the fandom. There’s Advice Peeta, Gale vs. Shrek, and Seneca Crane’s Beard taking over everything! How could you NOT love these guys with those images floating around?
Are you, though?!
Intensity vs. Calm – “I’m all rough and tough in my acting, but watch me be charming and adorable in my spare time!”
We all love it when an actor pulls off a jarring, intense role on the screen. We love it even more when that person turns out to be a calm, endearing person off-screen as well. Popular fancast for Chaff, Idris Elba, played one of he most intense characters on television for many years– Stringer Bell on The Wire– but he often shows his softer side in various interviews, which always makes us love him.
So continue on with your sexy ways, Hunger Games cast! Even if people occasionally get all trollish on the Internet to debate your general attractiveness, we know what makes you sexayyyyyy!
Take Solace in Knowing You Really Stood No Chance at the Top Spot Thanks to Magic Mike,

Liam Gone Wild… and Mythical
We had a really classy post planned for today. Not to toot our own horns, but carefully planned and insightful and made of brilliance.
… But then we saw the video for Borgore and Miley Cyrus’ new song.
In case you missed that lovely piece of American entertainment history, it features Hemsy making out with his lady love while dressed as a unicorn. He probably could have gotten away with anonymity since his face is covered, were it not for the fact that Miley wants everyone to know it was Liam behind the unicorn mask.
Oh, Liam! You’re young, you want to have some fun, maybe get a little wild to prove you’re irreverent but still sexy without actually getting yourself into trouble. We get it! But please, PLEASE try not to make an asshat out of yourself in the process.
We wish this was a Photoshop hoax
As with every career decision, a little adventure is cool, but there’s a limit. Being in your fiancee’s music video? Cool! Getting snuggly with her? Whatevs! But when someone asks you to do all this while dressed up in ridiculous costume, what makes an adult in his twenties think “This is a smart move for me, both personally and careerwise!”? *facepalm*
You’ve got really good things going on right now, even outside of our dear Hunger Games. But you were a convenient plot point in Expendables 2 and we don’t think your roles in Love and Honor or Empire State, even if the films do well, will guarantee you a glorious career. Your one big namesake is a franchise, which means the scrutiny will be piled on extra thick. Molasses tar gravy THICK. Don’t give them an excuse to call you “That guy from that young adult franchise who once dressed up like a mythical creature in a Miley Cyrus video”. You deserve better than that.
We’re not saying this for our sake, Liam! Frankly, we could laugh at the silly decisions of actors all day, every day if given the chance. It breaks up the misery of being underemployed from 9 to 5, you know? But you’re Hemsy (until the day that you tell us you hate that nickname)! We like you and we want to see you succeed!
We’ll admit what this is really about: We worry about you a little more than Jen and Josh. She’s wowed the socks off of everyone in sight with a couple excellent roles. He’s earned his share of accolades from a young age and even has producers credits to his name already. You’re kind of the wild card, but everyone loves a wild card! What’s done is done. We won’t keep beating a dead unicorn! *snicker* Your public appearance is yours to navigate. Just try not to steer it straight into the ground.
Good Thing MTV Doesn’t Air Music Videos Anymore,
The Girl With The Pearl
Be Still My…
A long time ago, when people were nervous about Josh Hutcherson’s hair color, Liam Hemsworth’s North American accent, and Jennifer Lawrence’s ability to shoot an arrow believably– the world was appeased with not one, but two pictorial spreads in Entertainment Weekly featuring Jennifer Lawrence in all her costumed Katniss glory, and subsequently some short months later an equally affirming issue featuring Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth in all their rugged, District 12 robustness were released to the world at large. And what happened? Well, some people wept, some people threw copies of Entertainment Weekly’s up in the air in sheer frustration, and others were just kind of well– meh about it all. I honestly can’t recall my reaction, but I know there were no tears, no throwing of things of any kind, and I’m pretty sure meh isn’t even part of my vocabulary outside of Twitter, or Facebook, or here for that matter. I do recall this though, stills– yep a smattering of Hunger Games movie stills in and after those issues were on news-stands, and drug-store, and smoke-shop magazine racks (smoke-shops are the best places to get magazines, I tell ya’. No, I don’t smoke.), all over this complex planet of ours. But (ah yes, a but), what strikes me more than a year after those glorious snip-its of hope that were given to us, a number of them turned out to not even be part of the film.
I give you exhibit A. Or as I like to call it, Katniss and Gale in the Big Bad Forbidden Woods.
Having a chat we’re not privy to.
We all know where this still fits into the sequence at the beginning of the film, right? It’s got to be somewhere between “Damn you, Gale!” then her shooting at those birds, and them hiding from Effie (My-Name-Never-Gets-Mentioned-In-The-Movie) Trinket’s hovercraft. So, where’d it go? Would have been nice to get one more scene in there with them, no?
Which brings me to exhibit B. also known as Cinna, Peeta and Haymitch Are Judge-y Faces. 
I remember when this was one of about four stills circulating, and everyone– and I mean EVERYONE truly believed that this little moment frozen in digital time would make it into the film. It didn’t though, and then we all cried “what the fuck, man!!??” Seriously, I think we all craved more from this film that we just did not get– and these stills just might prove that. Which brings us to our last still, and probably the one that continues to befuddle me as to why the scene was summarily cut. Exhibit C. Also known as Katniss and Peeta Interact More In the Capitol, Yo. 
I apologize for the poor quality of the still, but I’m sure you all can make out that that’s Katniss in the foreground, and Peeta in the background, and they’re in the Capitol apartment. And making an educated guess here, this still was likely a scene between– actually I have no clue– it could literally take place anytime during their time in the Capitol, it could even be on a day they filmed that was entirely scrapped, because neither of the costumes Jennifer or Josh are wearing made it into the film, no– really, I checked. What I’m hoping this scene was, was something between a training session, and a dinner scene, where they may have actually talked a bit, and I dunno connected pre-crush reveal, your guess is as good as mine at this point.
We know that there were no deleted scenes on the different copies of the film on DVD and Blu-ray (still not out in Argentina, mind!), and Gary Ross director extraordinaire has stated numerous times that the film he presented to Lionsgate, was for the most part, the film that made its way to cinemas all over the world. So, yeah– where did all these scenes go, and I know it’ll be debated to the nth degree– do we think they might have added something to the film if they had remained?
To quote Mr. Owl– “the world may never know.” I just hope the same thing doesn’t happen with Catching Fire.
Them There Eyes
Proof That We’ll Watch Liam Hemsworth in Anything…
Tuesday night. Half price movie night at the local theater. Between a rainstorm, strawberry margaritas at Chili’s, and a fiance who loves cheesy action films, things got crazy.
That’s right… we have seen The Expendables 2!
***Just a note that THIS IS CHOCK FULL OF EXPENDABLES 2 SPOILERS and if you have any interest in discovering this movie on your own terms, don’t read it!***
Of course, The Expendables 2 is THE stereotype of a “man movie”, but it’s kind of fabulous in the sense that it is completely aware of itself. Everyone involved in the making of this movie knows it’s a cheesy action film. Therefore, they spread on the cheese extra thick.
Also punking Liam: The wardrobe manager
And thus… poor little Liam! He is pretty much the only non-action hero in the bunch, therefore he doesn’t get to take part in the shenanigans! He’s the guy who gets to play everything straight while everyone around him is ridiculous. He may also be there for that 4% of the audience that needs something pretty to look at, because Sly and Bruce just ain’t cuttin’ it these days.
In fact, we imagine that the writers were specifically trying to punk him in certain scenarios, like this:
Writer #1: Okay, we’re trying to explain why this young gun left the military. I’ve written in the justifiably traumatic experience, but it’s not enough!
Writer #2: Let’s make Liam talk about how the military shot his dog as if that’s more important than the scars of battle. That will make people take him seriously!
Liam plays the promising young’un of the group in the film filled with middle-aged men… which of course means he dies 15 minutes into the movie. If I were him, I’d be a bit peeved at this point. First, they edited his character out of the first movie, then they bring him back just to have someone to kill. Better have been a damn good paycheck, because it’s not doing much for his filmography!
But damn.. Liam’s first on-screen death is a MAN DEATH. If you’re going to get killed off by a bad guy in an action movie, a Double Shadow knife roundhouse kicked into your heart is the way to do it!
I don’t really need to rate this movie, because we all know exactly what it is: A semi-amusing clusterfuck of older action stars killing bad guys and making fun of their own careers (Chuck Norris tells a Chuck Norris joke and it. is. glorious), without much Liam Hemsworth in the mix. But since many of you will not watch it yourself… NOW YOU KNOW.
Maybe I SHOULDN’T be so willing to watch every movie featuring Hunger Games stars…
