The moment that I knew there would an If I Stay premiere in Hollywood, I requested the day off. I knew that I had to be there! It had been SO long since the last premiere (Divergent in March) and I was itching for a new one. I didn’t think it would be as big as Divergent so camping was not necessary. Thank god. Haha!
I was recently chatting up some fangirls online when someone mentioned that they were upset about complaints that some Divergents fans had about Theo James. They were saying he wasn’t attractive enough to play Four (more on that later), that he was too old, find etc. etc.
And I really could understand where she was coming from, and it really got me thinking about the world of YA adaptations (or just adaptations in general) and the process of casting our favorite characters.
So yesterday I posted an opinion piece on Evangeline Lilly’s character, Tauriel, in the Hobbit movie. To say that I got a visceral response would be an absolute understatement.
But I love that. Look, I tend to have unpopular opinions and I’m used to that. Just the other day, I pointed out that while I think John Green is a fantastic writer, I do think that he gets overrated a lot, and that there are tons of authors that are way better than him.
That didn’t go over too well.
It’s here everyone! The official full length Vampire Academy trailer! Check it out!
I am so incredibly lucky that I was able to attend the Catching Fire fan camp and red carpet premiere in Los Angeles. You can read my recaps of Day One, Day Two and Day Three. I met so many awesome cast members, and fans, laughed my butt off, got NO sleep whatsoever, and made a ton of memories. But the best part of the whole experience was being able to see the movie early.
And now that the movie is out in TWO days (or tomorrow, if you’re seeing it at the night showings like me!), I want to share my review. As always, its completely spoiler free!
Its official! Today is the day! Today you can head on over to Fandango to purchase your advanced tickets for Catching Fire.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire releases on November 22nd, approved but most theaters are having showings the previous day, as early as 8 pm! This is VERY exciting news for someone who has to go to school the next day haha.

To add to the awesome Catching Fire news of the day, I got an email this morning from Desde Hollywood.com, announcing ME as their winner for a pair of tickets to the Los Angeles premiere of the movie! I am SO very excited about this.
75 different websites were having giveaways of some sort for a pair of tickets to the premiere and I enter almost every single one. The only ones I didn’t enter were the ones that I couldn’t, due to the fact that there was an age restriction, and stuff like that.
But yay! VERY excited! That means I can bring you guys the AWESOMENESS of the premiere!
Happy Tuesday everyone! Buy those Catching Fire tickets, and May the Odds be Ever in Your Favor!
