Watch Katniss Go Back To District 12 In New "Mockingjay" Preview
Posted by Unknown on Friday, October 17, 2014
Things are not good.
Jennifer Lawrence is virtually alone in this new preview of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, in which Katniss is sent back to what's left of District 12.

It plays over shots of Katniss flying to District 12. As a side note, say what you want about the Capitol, but deforestation is certainly not an issue under its rule.

Plutarch's brainstorm: Make things "personal" for Katniss by showing her what is left of her home.

Naturally, it is devastating.

“I’m looking for this book, I forget the title, but there’s a dog on the cover…?”
When a patron is shocked that you know a bestseller off the top of your head.
"I think it's called Leonardo DaVinci's Code?"
"Sure, The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown."
