hunger games trailer

The Hunger Games teaser trailer has finally arrived, giving fans of Suzanne Collins’ novels and casual moviegoers a look at what could be the next young-adult book series-turned blockbuster movie franchise (a la Harry Potter and The Twilight Saga).

Guiding The Hunger Games to the big screen is director Gary Ross (Seabiscuit, Pleasantville), and this first teaser will be the first testament to whether or not Ross (along with second unit director Steven Soderbergh) has managed to capture the rich world of Collins’ novels, or simply crafted yet another standard action/drama blockbuster.

For those who don’t know, here’s the lowdown on The Hunger Games:

In a dystopian future America is now Panem, a nation made up of twelve impoverished districts, all ruled by a militant capitol where technology and excess are a way of life. Every year the capitol holds a televised battle royal, where one male and female teenager from the twelve districts must battle to the death for the pleasure of capitol. When a young hunter from District 12 named Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) sacrifices herself to save her little sister from the games, she embarks on a brave fight for survival that could change a nation.

Hunger Games Mov just received a confirmation from Lionsgate that The Hunger Games Trailer will be attached to Breaking Dawn: Part 1 in Theaters!

A full-length "Hunger Games" trailer, complete with sequences from the movie that aren't all chopped up and teaser-like, has yet to hit the Web. But here's a little something to hold you over: character posters!
Okay, so it doesn't compare to a trailer, but these eight character posters will still give you a good idea of what the major players in "The Hunger Games" will look like. That includes Haymitch (played by Woody Harrelson) and Effie (played by Elizabeth Banks), who we haven't seen thus far... and Effie's makeup and wig look every bit as ridiculous as described in the book.
Other new faces include Cinna, who will be played by Lenny Kravitz and is a casting choice that has been met with mixed reactions from fans. Rue and Cato also make their first appearances in pictures, and we get another look at Katniss, Peeta and Gale.
The posters are suffiently dark considering the subject matter, and I like how Katniss is the only one facing right while everyone else faces left. It highlights the idea that it's her vs. the world (even though some of these characters are on her side).

By now, you've probably seen the Hunger Games trailer, right? No? Here:
Allow me to sum up my initial reaction: "ASDK;AKDFAJSDF;KANSDFJA;DFJA;KLFJAS;DFJA;AJKA;SKDJFA!"
One always worries about screen adaptations of beloved novels, but I'm no longer worried about this one. It looks awesome.
When I first read the book, I had grave concerns about its adaptability. Collins's depictions of violence are both brutal and alarmingly specific. Hollywood could never show the full effect without alienating 3/4 of its target audience.
Based on the trailer, at any rate, the film seems to take an angle that perhaps requires less focus on the brutality. The trailer jumps between the dystopian Panem and the spectacle of the games. There's every possibility that the movie will do a better job of hammering the book's political themes.
But enough with the thinking. Let's get down to brass tacks.

Beloved Katniss. I don't think you could conjure up better casting in a laboratory. "Straight black hair, olive skin, we even have the same gray eyes. But we’re not related, at least not closely. Most of the families who work the mines resemble one another this way." So she doesn't quite have gray eyes or black hair. I'll live.

Liam Hemsworth is about 20 times hotter than I pictured Gale (but I'm on record as a Gale-hater. That said, the sort of character he plays tends to work much better in films than in books). I'm worried that his extreme good looks will disrupt the Peeta vs. Gale equation in my mind.

And speaking of beloved Peeta...I wasn't sold on Josh Hutcherson's casting originally, but now he seems to have the right amount of quiet intensity.

Whoever cast Elizabeth Banks as Effie deserves an award. Just look at that shot. In the drab greys and blacks of this horrible mining town, she's not a sight for sore eyes, she's an invasion of neon color. The falseness of her identity jars against the gritty reality of District 12. Which is just how it should be.

I had to find something to complain about, right? I won't lie, despite my near total lack of interest in fashion, I was very interested in how the movie would bring Katniss's interview dress to life.

The man behind the “Kony 2012” video that went viral last week was detained by police for troubling behavior on a California Beach, NBC San Diego reported.
Invisible Children co-founder Jason Russell, San Diego police say, was caught Thursday night masturbating, vandalizing cars and acting under the influence of alcohol and possibly drugs.
Russell, 33, is a married father of two and a Christian.
Update from TMZ: Ben Keesey, the Invisible Children CEO has released a statement saying,  “Jason Russell was unfortunately hospitalized yesterday suffering from exhaustion, dehydration, and malnutrition. He is now receiving medical care and is focused on getting better.”
“The past two weeks have taken a severe emotional toll on all of us, Jason especially, and that toll manifested itself in an unfortunate incident yesterday. Jason’s passion and his work have done so much to help so many, and we are devastated to see him dealing with this personal health issue. We will always love and support Jason, and we ask that you give his entire family privacy during this difficult time.”
Along with others at Invisible Children, Russell had recently spoken out to defend his organization and the viral video against criticism that they misrepresent conditions in Uganda. He was on the Today show a week ago.

 

Warlords and Strongmen

Invisible Children founder Jason Russell arrives to Billabong's 4th Annual "Design For Humanity" Benefit at Paramount Studios on June 10, 2010 in Los Angeles, California.

 

 

 

This video of Jason Russell going completely bonkers on a San Diego sidewalk outside his house is creepy, disturbing and unlike his KONY 2012 campaign, unquestionably real.
He’s cursing up a storm, talking about the devil, doing some kind of squat exercise and unbelievably, he hasn’t been arrested nor charged with anything.
Russell has been placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold and his wife is maintaining he’s never been under the influence of drugs and alcohol.

 

 

Diplomacy in the Digital Age

Do a web search for the Egyptian Influence Network and what emerges is a visual depiction of the social network that helped bring down President Hosni Mubarak a year ago. The United States government knew about broad public discontent, but did not have a meaningful relationship with these new digital elites. It certainly underestimated their power.

Invisible Children's Jason Russel is trailing behind U.S. Policy

Earlier this week other digital actors released a dramatic film on the Lord’s Resistance Army, called KONY 2012. It instantly went viral; the State Department learned of it via the daughter of its Deputy Spokesman (in the interest of full disclosure, my former deputy). In this case, Jason Russell, the film’s producer, is trailing U.S. policy. The government months ago deployed military advisors to help improve the ability of regional governments to defeat the LRA.
Both cases underscore the dynamism of the digital age and the pressures it places on U.S. diplomacy. More and more people will have access to the kind and quality of information that was previously reserved for governments. Digital media do not fundamentally change the diplomatic process, but it expands the number of influencers, accelerates the process and can generate sudden shifts in public opinion.
As cell phones and other technologies become even more ubiquitous – equipped with cameras and connected to the Internet – everything we say and do will be increasingly visible. Government bureaucracies are going to struggle to keep pace and respond meaningfully in real time.

The State Department is already aggressively expanding its use of social media to communicate beyond governments directly to the people in multiple languages. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in her first Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review has created a vision of a new breed of ambassador who will be more visible and more empowered than ever. Recently minted Ambassadors Robert Ford and Michael McFaul in Syria and Russia respectively are great examples of “early adopters” who have led significant engagement campaigns using social media.
But they are still the exceptions, not the rules. It will take some time to change bureaucratic culture whose first instinct is to carefully control the flow of information. But the global information infrastructure is simply too advanced to be controlled. The new digital elites must be engaged.
This will require both cultural and process changes to empower more leaders to willingly and effectively communicate with key audiences around the world. It will take a new generation of Foreign Service officers for whom information and communications technology is second nature. This will involve more engagement, more risk taking and greater focus on global public opinion.
Given what we are seeing in the Arab Awakening, public opinion will shape policies and diplomatic options in more countries of consequence to the United States. Policies are going to be more populist – the immediate impact of the Koran burning is another recent case in point.

How does the video owner on YouTube make money

At present, there is no doubt that Youtube is the one of most popular websites in the world. This is because Youtube allows everyone to share the video to each other. It doesn’t matter what country or region are you from, you can use this website to upload your personal video or download the video that you are interesting in.

In last few years ago, many super stars now came from their personal videos from Youtube. They became successful because of over million views on Youtube. This means many people around the world were interesting in a particular person. Moreover, in the cyber world, it is the truth that everything goes too fast. It seems like a viral market that when one person liked something, they would share to their friends. Therefore, it is possible to get over million views within a few days.
Nowadays, there are many popular Youtube singers such as Sam Tsui, Christina Grimmie and so on. They have reached over 20 million views on their videos and channels. Thus, the question has come up what do they get after had over million views on their personal videos and channels and more than 100,000 subscribes.
According to SMU Daily Campus.com, 2010, they presented that people who has large number of views on the personal video, they will get the revenue from Youtube. If Youtube has found that this video has possibility to reach large number of views because of high number of views and subscribes within a few days. Youtube will send the the email and asking the video owner to join its partnership program.  Importantly, the video owner needs to sign confidentially contract and promising not to click on advertisements to be shown in conjunction with the videos. This is because each click of advertisements will generate personal money to the video owner. This is the method that prevents the video owner from clicking on the ads to make money and profits. However, if the video owner has signed the contract to Youtube to become a partnership, Youtube will place ads on his or her videos and splits the revenue to them. This is because many of business firms are waiting to place the ads on the Youtube video which has related to their product and services. For example, if the video is about car racing, the ads that has been post, it probably would be the car manufacturers. This is the effective way for the firms to reach a large number of prospect customers.
In my point of view, if the owner of videos and channel has become successful because having over million of views, they can not only constantly earn a lot of money but also they can have a good chance to become the super star or well known person. It is because when the channel becomes more popular, many people will come to click more and more in order to find out the things that they would like to see. For instance, Susan Bloyed from British got talent and she has over 100 million views. After that she became another most popular singer, although, she has not attractive appearances and characteristics. In conclusion, Youtube can contribute a lot of money to the person who know how to effectively use this channel to get the money.
