Who's Hungry?

This Movie Poster Monday we'll be reviewing "The Hunger Games". This week's five points of the poster are:

1) At first glance we thought Jennifer Lawrence was so hungry during her movie poster shoot that she decided to roast a marshmallow. Not a bad idea as the roasted marshmallow smell would calm her hunger and be better than the smell of sawdust and badgers that lingers on most movie poster sets. But closer inspection shows it isn't a flaming marshmallow, it appears to be a flaming ring of some sort... Tell me more movie poster, tell me more!

2) Ok, so there appears to be a bird in the center of this flaming ring. It seemed strange to us that the bird was inverted, as most birds don't usually stand on their heads, nor are they depicted falling from the sky. Then it occurred to us, this is the shoot for "The Hunger Games"! Obviously, the bird died of hunger in mid-flight and has now fallen into a flaming barbeque. The hungry game playing children are about to enjoy a nice barbequed chicken dinner, yum.

3) The movie poster was obviously an homage to all the great Robin Hood movie posters. Who could forget the original bow and arrow number with Kevin "Don't make me speak with an English accent" Costner in a sexy olive green number, shooting a flaming arrow.  Then, as if possessed by the spirit of the original Robin of Locksley, Cary Elwes adds another feather to his green felt hat by delivering his best movie poster performance since "Hot Shots!" (After all, anyone who can survive a movie poster shoot with Charlie Sheen is pretty #Winning.) Showing incredible range, Cary's performance includes shooting not one, not two, but six arrows! Well played, Mr. Elwes, well played.

4) We were under the impression that Jennifer's powers in "X-Men: First Class" were just special effects. We were wrong. As seen in this movie poster, she has turned her blond hair a shiny shade of chestnut brown. It's no wonder none of her co-stars are on the poster as by not requiring hair and makeup on this set, they are able to reduce costs and pass the savings on to you...

5) We wonder what she's thinking, because she's obviously not thinking of food (No drooling). She is probably wondering what Russell Crowe was thinking during his unfortunate Robin Hood movie poster shoot. Chances are that Russell was wondering how he went from Gladiator to this piece of crap, and that he's probably going to become the first actor to have his Oscar revoked. Don't worry Jen, if this movie doesn't work out you can use your special powers to morph yourself into another actress, might we suggest becoming Kate Beckinsale?

In conclusion, based on our detailed analysis of "The Hunger Games", we predict that the kids will drop about $89 million during the first weekend on this movie.
