Yesterday I started a reply by GRRR-ing at LJ for not working properly, and then of course it wouldn't let me actually POST that reply to begin with, BUT NOW I AM ACTUALLY GLAD, because otherwise I would have responded before I saw...
I know looks aren't as important as acting ability, as ability to really capture the heart of who the characters are, in the long run, but I'm really impressed by the wonder of costuming/make-up/serious-bulking-up-at-least-on-Peeta's part. When I first saw the guys they cast, I was NOT expecting them EVER to come so close to the pictures in my head. There's still something a little WEIRD about Peeta, but then again I'm in love with him so I'm picky, and I'm really impressed by his bulking-up. Not that I have a thing for bulky guys, it's just Peeta's SUPPOSED to be bulky and that actor totally wasn't a few months ago.
And I'd already warmed to and/or approved of the rest of the casting already. Rue is perfect (oh how everyone will bawl), and everyone else will certainly do.
