Bizarre Celebrity Hunger Games?

Late night antics lead to bizarre ‘Hunger Games simulators’…

So, after spending a bit too much time on Pottermore on a cold winter night (30th January, to be precise), I stumbled upon a Hunger Games simulator by BrantSteele, the confusion continued as I went through a ‘simulation’ with the original Hunger Games characters (Jason (who?) ‘won’, by the way). As morbid as it seemed, I decided it would be a stupid good idea to add some of my favourite celebrities in and see how they’d do in The Hunger Games. Spoilers – I got even more confused about what was happening as the ‘games’ continued. I had no idea what was going on and what I was doing but I think I might have the final gist, a few days after playing. 

Warning, it’s a bit bizarre, and… this didn’t actually happen. I swear, Margot Robbie has not participated in The Hunger Games. 

I added in my favourite people in the ‘reaping’.

And then it started!

5, 4, 3, 2, 1

Savage.

In a Joker like fashion, Jared’s taking this method acting a step too far.

Day 1 is over, the cornucopia bloodbath is VERY real. 

I’m still very very confused at this point.

Day 2

Damn.

Margot Robbie dies of ‘dysentery’, after a quick Google I discovered what it meant. Bloody diarrhoea. Gross.

Day 2 is over.

Day 3

Well, damn. Glad Oscar’s having a fun time doing his archery.

Day 3 is over.

Day 4

Day 4 started off with lots of explosions.

Day 4 is over.

Jared, Florence, John and Oscar remain. I’m still very confused at this point about what I’m doing.

Day 5

Savage Oscar.

Wait…

Is that it?

Florence won!

“What’s happening” I shout as this pops up and confuses me yet again.

… and, I’m still confused. But, it was slightly fun so I played again. No shame.

BIZARRE CROSSOVERS

HELLO! Today’s blog post is a bit of a weird one, I mean… no, seriously, it’s a weird one. I have 5 bizarre crossovers that I’d, kind of, like to see. Don’t judge, just appreciate the artistic integrity of these crossovers.

1. Miranda and The Hunger Games 

Hit BBC sitcom Miranda collides with the world of The Hunger Games, with Miranda finding herself and her friends Stevie, Tilly and Gary, and her mother Penny, in Panem. At the quarter quell reaping, it is announced that anybody of any age can be chosen as the district’s tribute for this year’s Hunger Games. Miranda is mistaken for a man (yet again) and finds herself representing District 12 alongside her best friend Stevie Sutton. How will they survive? Will Miranda become the Mockingjay and lead the rebellion against the Capitol? 

2. Modern Family and Doctor Who

Just imagine Cam Tucker against the Weeping Angels. Just imagine the screams. Haley would be confused as heck, and Phil would be trying to be best friends with the Twelfth Doctor. I feel like this crossover would actually work quite well, with Alex Dunphy and Mitchell Pritchett practically becoming the Doctor’s companions while Gloria, Manny and Cam scream in fear of the Weeping Angels. 

3. The Muppets and Miranda Sings/GloZell

With The Muppets getting their TV series, we’re guaranteed tonnes of guest stars. Now, this isn’t much of a crossover as much as a WE NEED GLOZELL WITH KERMIT AND WE NEED MIRANDA SINGS TO ARGUE WITH MISS PIGGY. Just imagine the sass and all the green.

 I ship them. #KerZell

Miranda Sings VS Miss Piggy fight scene please. 

4. Keeping Up Appearances and Downton Abbey

Imagine Hyacinth Bucket (pronounced Bouqet) finally achieving her goals of being an upper class snob, only to be challenged by Maggie Smith’s Violet. Mind you, Hyacinth wouldn’t need servants, she’s got Richard.

5. New Girl and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Jess and Kimmy, the ultimate weird people. It would essentially be an episode where they try to compete over how bizarre they are, while Cece and Titus go shopping and Schmidt, Nick, Coach and Winston fight over Jacqueline Vorhees.

Was that bizarre enough? 

Check back on September 1st for my August Soundtrack, listing 10 songs I’ve been listening to throughout the month!

10 ARTISTS I WANT TO SEE ON THE NEXT HUNGER GAMES SOUNDTRACK

I’ve found that I find the soundtrack of the Hunger Games films to be more exciting than the films themselves, I mean Lorde, HAIM, Taylor Swift, Coldplay etc, damn. I love the Hunger Games books, and I’ve yet to see Mockingjay Part 1. However, I adore the soundtrack. So I thought I’d list 10 artists I’d love to see on the soundtrack for Mockingjay Part 2. 

1. Marina and the Diamonds

Marina would fit so well in the spontaneous world of The Hunger Games soundtracks. She can really pull off solemnity and intense music, but she can also pull off quirky music. 

2. Hozier

The thing about Hozier is that he manages to evoke this sense of mystery and darkness in his music, yet he also manages to portray a genuine story albeit happy or sad. 

3. Lykke Li

Lykke Li is great, just absolutely fantastic. Whenever I listen to No Rest For The Wicked, I imagine myself standing on an elevated platform in front of a huge crowd, declaring the immorality of a corrupt government. I mean, Lykke Li is cool. 

4. Youngblood Hawke

Youngblood Hawke are one of my favourite bands of all time, I’m obsessed with their song Dreams. I think Youngblood Hawke would bring a bit of an upbeat sound, but have a really intense message that reflects the kind of fake ‘mask’ put on by the Capitol to disguise the corruption underneath. 

5. London Grammar 

Hannah Reid’s vocals really give me chills. Strong is one my favourite songs, and I could imagine something along the lines of this song playing during that Prim scene. London Grammar’s music is very calm and thought-evoking, but they could seriously pull off the intensity of the story. 

6. SOAK

I love SOAK! I mean, that voice, come on! I feel like she could create a really sinister track to reflect no, not President Snow, but President Coin. 

7. RY X

RY X could really interpret a moment of fear and sorrow from Katniss pretty damn well. It’s something I’d be really interested to see, especially after the release of Berlin. 

8. Laura Doggett 

Laura’s heavy vocals playing during an intense fight scene shown in slow motion, highlighting the fear on everybody’s face. Just imagine that, how very intense. Intense. Strange word. 

9. Cash+David

I imagine Cash+David playing during the credits, after the epilogue. I think they’d fit well with the kind of “we suffered but here we are, surviving” kind of thesis that comes with Mockingjay (apart from those deaths). 

10. Taylor Swift

Can Taylor please come back and record a song for Mockingjay Part 2. Safe and Sound and Eyes Open were brilliant for the first film. It would be a fantastic way to round off The Hunger Games series. 

Honorary Mentions

Lorde (of course)

Sia

Lana Del Rey

Florence + the Machine

James Bay

30 Seconds To Mars

Bring Me The Horizon

That’s all.
