May The Hunger Games Articles Be Ever In Your Favor (Huh?)

• Jezebel has a speculative piece about the race of the major characters in The Hunger Games. The conclusions are...mostly inconclusive! Oh well. Hey, why do people say the name Panem is "most likely" derived from "panem et circenses"? It very explicitly comes from that, as explained (dumbly) in Mockingjay. Look alive, bloggers.
• They've also (Jezebel was ALL OVER this movie. Props.) got a comprehensive list of everything the movie omitted from the book. I haven't read it because I want to be surprised in my disappointment, hahaha.
• Kotaku has a gude for how a Hunger Games video game could and should work. It didn't really occur to me that kids killing each other in a video game is problematic, but you know, it is! Whoops.
• i09 mentions a CW-ripoff of the Hunger Games now being fast-tracked, and recommends a few other properties that would make interesting Paranormal Teen Fuck Shows (my favorite Netflix category). Elsewhere at i09, pictures from an abandoned Japanese sex museum. Unrelated, but still cool!
• The article I was most excited about has finally arrived: Mary HK Choi and Natasha Vargas-Cooper discuss the movie in their particular, wonderful way. 
• Not to end on a sour note, but Kim posted this god-awful thing in the comments of the last post and I feel compelled to share it here and ruin your day too. Jezebel reports on the trend of horrible teenagers complaining that Thresh and Rue are black. YIKES. Nearly all of these asshole appear to have been run off of Twitter, which is great. GOOD RIDDANCE. And at least one of them has been taken over by a parody account.
