Doctor Syntax Tumbling into the Water
Dr. Syntax falls backward off his rocky seat into the water. Though his hat has fallen into the water, he still clutches his pen and journal: he has evidently been sketching the moss-covered ruins of the castle crowning the small hill before him. To the right of the ruin a ship sails on the water, more hills rising behind it in the distance. On the left side of the print, Dr. Syntax's haggard steed, Grizzle, looks on as his master slips off his perch at the water's edge.

Printing Context:
Doctor Syntax Tumbling into the Water was first published in the inaugural issue of Poetical Magazine (1809), along with the rest of Combe's poem, "The Schoolmaster's Tour." It was later bound in book form (May, 1812).
Associated Events:
The Wye Tour
The popularity of the Wye Tour, a picturesque tour through the England-Wales border down the River Wye, increased exponentially during the 1780s and the decades that followed (though the Wye river was a popular site for at least twenty-five years before Gilpin's tour); this was due in large part to the tour guide-book Observations on the River Wye, written by the Reverend William Gilpin and published in 1782. The tour focused on the natural beauty of the Wye Valley, especially the part of the Valley that fit Gilpin's idea of the "correctly picturesque"—usually characterized by a natural object (e.g., a tree, a stone, cliffs; anything not human-made) which stood out in stark contrast to its surroundings and was often in close proximity to people or human-made objects (factories, bridges, and the like). The tour lasted two to three days by boat (the most common form of travel for tourists) or carriage (used only by the very wealthy), and significantly longer by foot; William Wordsworth and his sister, Dorothy, took a walking tour of the Wye Valley in 1798 (see William Wordsworth's memorial poem "Lines composed a few miles above Tintern Abbey on Revisiting the banks of the Wye Valley during a tour, July 13, 1798"). The most common form of travel was by pleasure boat, which featured a canopy to shield tourists from the wind, sun, and rain; a handful of tables for writing or drawing; and several oarsmen who acted as de facto tour guides and cost three to four guineas for two days' employment (Moir 125). The tour extended, as Gilpin noted, "To [Chepstow] from Ross, which is a course of near 40 miles" and featured "a succession of the most picturesque scenes" (Gilpin 7). Highlights included Ross-on-Wye, Goodrich Castle, Symond's Yat, Monmouth, Tintern Abbey, Piercefield, Chepstow Castle, and, finally, the junction of the Rivers Wye and Severn at Chepstow.
Picturesque Tourism
Picturesque tourism as an industry was largely popularized by the publication of Gilpin's Observations on the River Wye in 1782. Tourists of the "picturesque" traveled to Scotland, North and South Wales, the Wye Valley, and the Lake District (in northwest England) in search of scenery manifesting this ideal. Oftentimes, tourists brought watercolors to quickly paint or sketch the scenes that most captivated them, in the fashion of Gilpin. These tourists, and their dogged pursuit of the picturesque, would later be lampooned by caricaturists in the early years of the 1800s, but picturesque tourism maintained significant popularity until the mid-nineteenth century.
Associated People:
William Combe (1742-1823)
The author of a wide variety of satires, as well as historical essays, letters, and even a few comedic plays, William Combe is best remembered for his series of satires featuring Doctor Syntax, of which The Tour of Doctor Syntax, in Search of the Picturesque was the first. Combe primarily modeled Doctor Syntax on Cervantes' Don Quixote, and aimed to poke fun at Gilpin's theories on the picturesque. The Tour of Doctor Syntax, in Search of the Picturesque was so popular that it spawned two sequels and countless imitations, and was reprinted in several editions over the next century. This popularity suggests that the piece either influenced or reflected Romantic opinions regarding the picturesque and those who sought it (Carretta).
Thomas Rowlandson (1757-1827)
Born in 1757, Rowlandson spent most of the first forty years of his life drawing landscapes and townscapes, and traveling through Europe as time would allow. He was accepted into the Royal Academy in November 1772 based largely on the strength of his drawing. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Rowlandson resisted the trend initiated by Sir Joshua Reynolds (president of the Academy) and did not pursue painting; a populist in taste, he gravitated towards caricature drawing in 1797 when he met Rudolph Ackermann. Proving successful in this genre, his caricature was "incisive," but "avoid[ed] emotion and satire," a blend that would lead to "his name [being] synonymous with the popular vision of late Georgian Britain" (Hayes).
William Gilpin (1724-1804)
Gilpin is known for his theories of the picturesque, developed in his books and sketches through the identification of scenes defined by their picturesque quality. The above caricature (drawn by Rowlandson) is a satire of the popularity of Gilpin's picturesque theories, in which he "taught" viewers how to identify and enjoy pastoral and gothic scenes. In the caricature, itinerant Doctor Syntax becomes so enraptured while creating a sketch of the ruins that he accidentally falls into the river, comically toppling over backwards (Andrews, "Gilpin, William").
Associated Places:
The Royal Academy
Rowlandson started his studies at the Royal Academy in 1772, exhibiting his work for the first time in 1775. It is notable that, unlike the majority of the Royal Academy, Rowlandson strayed from painting and developed his commercial draughtsman skills instead. His focus on responding to the popular demand for prints and caricatures contributed to his success in printselling (Hayes).

-William Combe's text for the caricature (from The Tour of Dr. Syntax: In Search of the Picturesque, A Poem):
Learning that a riverside castle had just been hit by lightning and reduced to ruins, Syntax decides to sketch this ready-made Gothic scene, only to stumble into the river:
A heap of stone the Doctor found,Which loosely lay upon the ground,To form a seat, where he might traceThe antique beauty of the place:But, while his eyes observ'd the lineThat was to limit the design,The stones gave way, and sad to tell,Down from the bank he headlong fell.
Thomas Rowlandson's Doctor Syntax Tumbling into the Water serves as more than slapstick humor. The clueless seeker of the picturesque, Doctor Syntax, has wandered onto unstable ground in search of a picturesque angle of the ruin; tumbling backwards off a rock, Syntax goes sprawling into the water below. This farcical caricature illustrates the public perspective of picturesque tourists as foolishly obsessed with finding picturesque views—even to the point of of pain and humiliation.
The circulation of satire prints was an integral part of popular culture during the eighteenth century, and, as one of the most successful in this work, Thomas Rowlandson came to set the standard for the Romantic caricature aesthetic (Murray 154). An accomplished and prolific draughtsman, Rowlandson's renowned work encapsulated the power of caricature. With his numerous publications, including his fictional accounts of the three tours of Dr. Syntax, Rowlandson's drawings were widely available to the public—effective because they could be enjoyed and understood by those who were illiterate. These drawings conveyed an honest, self-reflective, and often humorous perspective of common lifestyles; enjoyed as aesthetic and intelligent works of art, they also served as silent arbiters of politically charged or mischievous commentary (Savory 8-10). In particular, Doctor Syntax Tumbles into the Water pokes fun at the obsessive trend of looking for the picturesque. Rowlandson's caricature is significant because it is an example of early public backlash against picturesque tourism and picturesque tourists (Wordsworth labeled the infatuation with the picturesque "that great infection of the age" in his Prelude). By lampooning Dr. Syntax's dogged pursuit of the right angle for a picturesque rendition of the ruins, Rowlandson implies that short-sighted, foolish activity typically defines the pastimes of picturesque tourists. The preoccupation of the boat's passengers with the ruins rather than with the tumbling Dr. Syntax may reflect the tunnel-vision of the Wye tourist.
Perhaps ironically, Rowlandson's depiction of the ruins, the subject of Syntax's attempted sketch, fits the definition of what Gilpin would call "properly picturesque." The ruins are dilapidated and crumbling, overtaken by ivy or moss, and so fulfill the requisite contrast between natural and human creations. The Romantic viewer cannot escape the picturesque, even in caricatures that mock its disciples; further enacting this combination of critique and participation, the accompanying text reads as both a warning to those tourists who are too invested in discovering the picturesque and serves as a handbook for tourists who wish to conduct themselves with propriety during their travels. In the passage preceding Dr. Syntax's fateful fall into the stream, the hapless traveler is informed in passing of a ruined castle that is not far from his lodgings. He enthusiastically siezes the opportunity to capture the sublime or picturesque, thinking to himself "A castle, and a ruin too,— / I'll hasten there and take a view" (Combe 70). Confronted with the actual ruin, Syntax finds himself wondering why it is not more picturesque instead of actually "taking a view":
But now, alas! no more remainsSince the actual scene is found lacking, Dr. Syntax determines to use his "art" to enhance it. Mimicking the discourse of landscape improvement, Combe is lampooning the very idea of finding the picturesque in the natural world. In effect, Rowlandson's print, accompanied by William Combe's book-length poem, simultaneously satirizes and participates in the guidebook genre.Than will reward the painter's pains:The palace of the feudal victorNow serves for nought but for a picturePlenty of water here I see,But what's a view without a tree?There's something grand in yonder tow'r,But not a shrub to make a bow'r;Howe'er, I'll try to take the view,As well as my best art can do.
Caricature was a widely popular print form in London, appreciated for its versatility: an arbiter of daily news, political commentary, and entertainment, it was an art form that could be enjoyed by all classes of people (Mendelowitz 142-44).

"No matter how hard you try…
You Can't Hide Ugly, Chipped Embarrassing, Stained Or Crooked Teeth…"
But you CAN Fix Them Fast, with a Comfortable, Affordable Smile Makeover…
Discover How You Can Finally End Any Dental Problems, Embarrassment
And Frustrations With A Free Smile Makeover Consultation
Dear Friend,
If you are a spectacularly afraid dental patient who has put off needed dental care, or you look in the mirror and see a smile that embarrasses you and if you've had bad dental experiences in the past, then this report may just be the most freeing one you've ever read.
Before I tell you the most common reasons why patients choose our dental office to give them the smile of their dreams, let me ask you a few questions:
• Do you dislike any chipped, missing, crooked, or stained teeth?
• Would you like to have whiter, straighter teeth that look Magnificent?
• Would you like to look and feel 10 years younger and receive compliments about your attractive smile?
• Have you been putting off going to the dentist due to fear, anxiety or pain sensitivity?
• Have you ever wondered what it would be like to smile with CONFIDENCE and feel extremely ATTRACTIVE?
• Are you ever embarrassed or frustrated with your teeth and/or your smile?
• Do you have teeth that overlap, twisted, crooked, or have gaps…and would like a simple pain-free solution that gives you a fantastic smile almost instantly?
• Do you want to smile with confidence once again by showing off the smile that you truly deserve? The one that lights up a room and sparkles?
If you answered "YES" to any of these questions, then I guarantee I can help you fix these problems while also giving you the smile you've always dreamed of. With advanced dentistry and our extensive training we can turn any smile, no matter how bad, and turn it into a gorgeous smile that you would normally see on the T.V. Show Extreme Makeover. Plus, if you read this report, I'd like to invite you in for a FREE Smile Makeover Consultation so you can see for yourself what your smile can look like before any dentist ever touches your mouth. (this is using our virtual dream smile experience which I'll explain later)
Whether you want a Dream Smile or you just want small improvements that are subtle, but you can truly enjoy deep down in your heart, then I want to extend a very special offer that I can only give to the first 27 people who respond.
The other day, I was talking to Ms. Kim Smith from my neighborhood. Now, Kim has lived in the bay area for a long time, but never came into my office until recently.
In fact, she had grown up with such bad teeth and so many dental problems that she 'gave up' on thinking that she could ever do something about her smile. But for some reason, she saw an article in the local paper and decided to give us a call.
Anyhow, in two short visits, Kim walked out of here with a smile that was so sparkling and confidence building that it brought a tear (which she tried to hide) to her eyes.
The next day, Kim and her husband came in with freshly baked cookies and a bottle of wine for my staff and I.
I tell you this, because stories like these excite and motivate my staff and I, and happen all the time! We absolutely LOVE giving great care to people and can't wait to send you out into the world with a smile that others compliment, envy, and admire!
In fact, the reason I bring it up, is that so many of my happy patients had tried those "miracle" solutions to their stained, dis-colored, twisted, or crooked smile to only find they were unimpressed, frustrated, and felt misled by those commercials.
What I'm talking about may sound too good to be true, but that is why, before I'm done speaking with you today, you'll realize you CAN have the smile you've always dreamed of, and you how you can do it affordably and almost INSTANTLY! (Listen: Thousands of people, even some of your neighbors, have already seen the amazingly pain less, quick, confident results from coming into our office with their most challenging dental problems.)
Imagine walking into your Home
With A Five Star Smile,
Without Experiencing Any Anxiety Or Discomfort!
I realize this sounds almost too amazing to be true, but the facts are undeniable. I'm a dentist, and I absolutely cannot stretch the truth of these astonishing results.
Look. Here's all you do: You simple come into the office for a FREE Smile Makeover Consultation where we explain and… show you with cameras and video how easily we can give you the smile you've always… dreamed of! And how you can do all of this quickly, in total comfort, and have people complimenting and raving about you and your smile. It's not rare for someone to have the "new attractive" smile in just 2 short visits!
You Can Understand How Thrilling
It Is To Suddenly See A New, Whiter, Straighter
And More Attractive Smile In Your Mirror!
How can you get such wonderful results? Simple: There are so many new advanced methods in dentistry that can 'fix' any dental problem. The good news is that I've kept on the cutting edge of dentistry so that I can handle more cases than you can even imagine.
What these new methods do is make is so you can come in with an embarrassing, twisted, crooked, or gapped smile and sometimes in less than 2 visits you can walk out of there with a more attractive, confident, glowing smile that your neighbors and friends will wish they had. Only you don't need to go through any long, uncomfortable, or frustrating procedures.
Imagine seeing more positive cosmetic enhancing results in the same amount of time it takes to do your hair and make up. Even the "ugliest, most distorted, discolored teeth" have been miraculously transformed in as little as two visits.
I'm not kidding. When you choose our office, you see results immediately. Imagine, in as little as 11 days, you can expect to feel like a completely different person…and you'll have friends and family accusing you of discovering the fountain of youth!
Some Patients Even Say They "Feel"
Like They Are 20 Years Younger…
Their Spouses Are Ecstatic!
Of course, with dramatic improvements like this, it's only natural to be skeptical. That is sounds too good to be true… and I have to admit that when I was going through my clinical and continuous education courses, I thought these guys were nuts.
But what doesn't lie, are the thousands of success stories that have come through our office. (Which I can't share with you, yet, because of state laws. But when you come into our office you'll see all the pictures of ecstatic patients who came in with every imaginable problem!)
I believe, from the bottom of my heart, that anyone who has teeth can come into our office and we can transform their teeth into a Million Dollar Smile – quickly, easily, with pain free dentistry!
What's more, the best results seem to happen for people who have had the most trouble with their teeth or want to look and feel younger, more vibrant, and more confident.
Here's why: There's really only two ways to have the smile you've always dreamed of. One is being born with great genetics (not the majority).
Two: Find out what's available to you by going to a dentist. One that has stayed current with the advancements in dentistry, and focuses on educating people rather than selling. This way YOU get to hear ALL your options rather than just being told the "Highest Profit" procedure.
So, no matter what dental problem you are currently facing, we can help! When we are complete, you will be left with a smile that makes you, your spouse or partner ecstatic, and desiring more intimacy than ever before.
When you have a more attractive smile, an excitement and confidence will ignite in you that you haven't felt in a long time. Maybe even the same feeling that you got when you fell in love for the first time.
And all this happens very quickly! You will see your results INSTANTLY!
Quite simply, I believe this coming in for your FREE Smile Makeover Consultation and finding out how we can help you out…without feeling any pressure to do any care, can be the best thing you've ever done for your dental happiness. It causes no pain, makes you look and feel more attractive and confident than ever, and does so FAST!
What more could you ask for? I'm convinced it's high time that everyone in the U.S. is told of this amazing discovery. That's why I'm writing to you now. I would like your help in accumulating more "Fountain Of Youth" success stories- and I'm willing to give you a chance to find out if this is for you for FREE!
Here's what you must do: If you (or any of your friends or family) are embarrassed or frustrated with your teeth, please come in for a simple FREE Smile Makeover Consultation

Here is an area that nobody knew and realized how important it was till the planning of weddings became a job and career for some people. As weddings grew in popularity, number of guests, and complexity, there became a need to hire professionals to plan a wedding properly.
What was once the task of friends and family to help a bride to be to plan her wedding, with outings planned for the planning, it became apparent that there was not enough time for brides, and their friends, or family, to properly plan the wedding date.
Along came the job of wedding planner. Here was a career or business choice based on helping newly engaged women to plan what many consider one of the most important days of their lives. This job takes the stress off of the bride and her ensemble and places it clearly on the shoulders of the wedding planner.
The best wedding planners are those who are able to handle unexpected changes, let downs, failures, fall downs, drops, miss-planned events, and maintain a calm cool collected composure. Wedding planning is not for everyone, if you have been deemed the wedding planner for a friend it might serve well to hire a wedding planner yourself.

POSTCARDS FROM THE AMAZON: Cultures clash over frontier
ACRE, Brazil — A couple of weeks ago, I introduced you to a Chico, one of the most successful ranchers in Acre. He migrated here 30 years ago from his crowded homeland in southeastern Brazil in search of a better life.
As his ancestors, gold-seeking bandeirantes, had done centuries before him, he had an itch to strike out and "desbravar" — tame the wild frontier.
As such, he was a part of a process that has occurred throughout history. The settlement of the American West and Brazilian Amazon were national aspirations to bring people and progress to a place considered wilderness.
The colonization of the Amazon, however, was not retold in romantic westerns with good cowboys, hard-working pioneers and bad Indians. The words "pioneer" or "trailblazer," which might have been used for Chico in a different time and place, are not used here. Instead, Amazonian ranchers often are called villains, deforesters, and enemies of nature and the poor.
News images of the Amazon in the 1980s were scathing reports of just what went into staking one's claim on the frontier — with vast expanses of forests burning to the ground, pistoleiros gunning down those that dared defend their land, and white cattle grazing on grasses sprouting from charred earth.
The Changing Meaning of the Frontier
Chico is a good person with admirable qualities, but due to the emergence of global environmental concerns, his actions have come to be viewed from a different set of values. He is judged differently from how his counterparts were judged in times past. In the future, we will get to know other players' perspectives, but this is Chico's perspective.
His path to the Amazon was encouraged when he initially began his journey in the 1970s, when the Brazilian government beckoned people from other parts of Brazil come to "a land without men for men without land."
The arrival of southern migrants to the Amazon was "a clash between cultures," one rancher told me. "We came to convert the forest to agriculture and ranching like people have done throughout history. Native Acreans, on the other hand, relied heavily on the forest."
Chico and others came and deforested large tracts of land to create the pastures that sustain the cattle.
Economically, this made sense. Standing forest was worth little compared to pasture for cattle. Government credit and subsidies were widely available to support ranching. From this mindset, shared by the government and migrants alike, converting the forest to pasture or agricultural fields was not deforestation, but was an "improvement" that increased the value of the land.
This also was a time of increased connections between countries and an emerging global concern with the environment. Media coverage brought the world disturbing images of deforestation, a suddenly unacceptable practice. Migrants to the Amazon, particularly ranchers, became symbols of environmental destruction.
The process of "bringing civilization to the wilderness" also was laid bare for the world to see. On this "land without people" there often were, in fact, people living — indigenous populations and rubber tappers, who harvested natural rubber from trees. Often, the migrants and the native Acreans both had legal rights to the land.
Chico worked with the rubber tappers to find a solution. In other, more publicized cases, ranchers did not respect the rights of the rubber tappers and violence erupted, ending in the ranchers forcefully evicting rubber tappers.
After the Frontier
Now, 30 years since Chico arrived in Acre, things have calmed down. The boundaries of much of the land in the areas of conflict have been demarcated and the rubber tappers and indigenous groups have millions of acres of land.
Deforestation limits also are strictly enforced, which means that Chico cannot create any new pastures.
The frontier essentially has been closed here.
"I am OK with it," he said, "I have mine. I am set, but opportunities have been closed off for the next generation."
Asked if there is another frontier on the horizon, Chico said that it depends not on him as much as it does on the rest of the world: "There are one billion people in the world now living in hunger and worlds' population continues to grow. They call the Amazon the 'lungs of the world' because of the forest, but maybe we need to also think about the 'stomach of the world' — all those hungry people. Here, we can produce the food that the world needs."
It is difficult to predict the future of the Amazon as a forest, a source of food, or maybe somewhat like Chico's property, with a little bit of both.
For his part, Chico has made sacrifices and is content to leave his forest intact, which accounts for more than half of his property; he is even reforesting some areas to meet the new federal requirement of 80 percent forested land. He wonders why he is held to this standard whereas his counterparts in other countries are not.
The rest, he said, will depend on the decisions of people like him, as well as those far away, who are intertwined with the situation: "the world" — lungs, stomach and all.

Your guide and driver will meet you at the airport, to make sure you will feel looked after from the moment you arrive.
The day starts with a drive in the comfort of your own car to the Longji Terraces, carved into a steep mountain range called the "Dragon's Backbone". Zhuang and Yao minorities in the surrounding villages build their houses still without nails and wear their traditional clothing. All the villages have differing customs for clothing, and especially women's outfits are beautifully embroidered; just one outfit may take up to a year to sew.
There is a further climb from the car park to the hill top, but sedan chairs are available at a reasonable cost.
The world famous Li River is best appreciated in a boat, where you get a great view of the mountains and bamboo groves gliding past. On your arrival to Yangshuo you will be taken to your hotel and then have free time to explore this lively small town. The skillful cormorant fishermen still work here, find out more from your guide.
The day starts with a bike ride in the beautiful Yangshuo countryside, among the distinctive mountain peaks and delightful orchards. A visit to a local farming family home half way through the day gives you an insight into life here.
After lunch in a local cafe serving a mixture of local and western style food you are taken back to Guilin for a flight to Kunming.
Two of the natural wonders near Kunming are on the list today. The Stone Forest is a mystical place, formed by karst rock shapes. The Sani people still live in the area and show some of their folk customs and dances for the visitors.
The Jiuxiang caves are vast, filled with stalagmites and stalactites glistening in the lights, and flowing waterways and waterfalls. A cable car is available for the return journey, as it is a long way to walk back.
There is a saying: 'If you do not visit Western Hills, you haven't visited Kunming; if you do not go to Dragon Gate, you haven't been to Western Hills.'
The Western Hill is a great viewing point for the city of Kunming; a cable car takes you from the Folklore Village at the base to the Dragon Gate on the top. The Dragon Gate area also includes some fine grottoes and pavilions, all carved into the mountainside by Taoist monks.
Yunnan Minority Village nearby lets you experience the cultures and customs of different minorities in a short time, there are several performances all throughout the day.
The Green Lake is the most picturesque park in Kunming, where locals come to play mahjong and practice taichi. In ancient times it was called Nine Dragon Pond after the nine springs within the northern part. November-December time each year red beaked gulls migrate here, forming a lovely scene on the water.
In the evening you will be taken to the airport to board your plane to Chengdu.
Chengdu has a history spanning hundreds of years, and Jinli Old Street, restored Sichuan style ancient commercial hub, and Wu Hou Temple, a delightful complex of beautiful gardens and halls, are fine examples of the past. Even lunch place is steeped in history; the dishes are Three Kingdoms' style.
Chengdu is probably best known for the Pandas and the visit to the Panda Breeding and Research Center is the main focus of the day.
Good to Know
The Panda Breeding and Research Center has a donation program which allows you take pictures with holding a panda one minute by donating RMB 2,000 Yuan (for reference only). Only 20 tourists are allowed to hold pandas a day. If you want to hold a panda, please tell your travel advisor or tour guide in advance because you must book it at least one week in advance.This program is subject to the availability of pandas on that day. Please bring enough RMB cash as payment by credit card is not accepted there.
In the morning a flight will take you to Leshan to start your journey to see Mount Emei. On the way you can go to see the Leshan Giant Buddha, the largest stone Buddha statue in the world. It is best appreciated from aboard a boat, but climbing up is also an option, although good fitness is essential as the Buddha is over 300m high.
After lunch in a local simple restaurant the journey continues to the foot of Mount Emei, and the Baoguo Monastery with quiet and beautiful gardens before settling in your hotel.
Emei Mountain is one of the four major holy mountains in China, and famous for the breathtaking scenery of sea of clouds. First you are driven up the as far as cars can go, then you take a cable car, and the last part of the journey is a short walk up to the summit.
The Monastery of Ten Thousand Years has a very long history, but the present buildings date to Ming Dynasty. Lunch options in the area are limited, but your guide will organize the best available choice for you.
In the evening you fly back to Chengdu and stay the night there.
Your guide and driver will take you to the airport for your flight onward, and make sure you check-in goes smoothly.

Just in case any readers missed the big reveal on Good Morning America today, here is the official Hunger Games trailer!
Ever since I read The Hunger Games and heard it was being turned into a movie, I've thought that it's one thing to read about teenagers massacring each other—and another thing to see it unfold on a 50-foot tall screen. (Although now that I think about it, I'm not sure which is worse. It's pretty horrifying to have those images come alive in your imagination.)
If you've wondered about the look in Katniss's eyes when she hears Prim's name called during the Reaping, or when she talks to Gale . . . wonder no more, and watch the trailer now.
The movie hits theaters on March 23. Who's excited? (And who's worried that she will have to watch half the movie with covered eyes?)
The first clip of The Hunger Games movie was released last night during MTV's Video Music Awards. Jennifer Lawrence introduces the clip, which I'll let speak for itself:
What do you think of the clip?
Last week Trisha posted about Jennifer Lawrence's transformation into Katniss Everdeen, and now I have a bit more Hunger Games-related news:
Rocker Lenny Kravitz will be play one of my personal favorite characters in the series, stylist Cinna.
In the series, stylists are the people who prepare the tributes to appear in public and on television. Cinna becomes an ally of Katniss, and he is also the brains behind her memorable "girl on fire" look. Don't you remember this passage?
"I want the audience to recognize you when you're in the arena," says Cinna dreamily. "Katniss, the girl who was on fire." It crosses my mind that Cinna's calm and normal demeanor masks a complete madman.
Can you imagine Kravitz as Cinna? Who is your favorite character from The Hunger Games?
Variety reported yesterday that Gary Ross's deal to direct the movie adaptation of The Hunger Games is "all but done."
Ross's other directing credits include Pleasantville and Seabiscuit (based on the book by Laura Hillenbrand)—which just might be my family's favorite movie of all time.
Entertainment Weekly blogger Darren Franich has posted an amusing "open letter" to Ross, in which he begs for the director to not make the movie gritty:
Reading Hunger Games, you're struck by just how vivid and alive the forest is. It's Katniss' escape from drudgery, the one place she can really feel alive. Listen to her describe the valley outside of District 12: "teeming with summer life, greens to gather, roots to dig, fish iridescent in the sunlight." That's sounds more like the Technicolor-organic wilderness of Avatar than the dark, shadowy woods of Twilight. Conversely, the Capitol reads like a fascist version of J.J. Abrams' Star Trek: too bright, too colorful, overpopulated with highly-caffeinated supermodels. But again, no gritty here.

"Remember, as we are young the breast is 90 percent breast and 10 percent fat. As we get older, the breast loses tissue and gains more fat."Breast implants are still the most common plastic surgery for women.
