Jennifer Lawrence Turns 21, Appears in New ‘Hunger Games’ Photo

Hello, casting directors – get it right. Here is your better Catwoman.. your hands-down Wonder Woman.. and capable of playing any central role, as her Oscar proves.

My niece (as Cat woman) would put Lawrence to shame!

The Hunger Games will forever be better than Twilight because Katniss isn't a defenseless girl and teaching the girls of today that the need a man to live a full life. Katniss can kick ass all on her own!

I am a HUGE fan of "The Hunger Games"!!!!!

Happy Birthday Jenny! I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOU IN THE HUNGER GAMES!

Hunger games= Running Man.

Jennifer is so awesome! I can't believe she's come so far in fame since Winter's Bone! She definitely deserves it, I have to say she's the best actress around. She just gets so into her role, it's like, in every movie, she's a completely different person, and she really does invoke the feelings of the characters she plays. That's why she's the perfect person to play Katniss. I've read all the books. I can SEE Katniss in Jennifer Lawrence.

Ummm. Where did Catwoman come into this? I think the question was Twilight vs. Hunger Games. I believe it depends on what the person likes at the time. Twilight for the rediculous romantic who wants to be overcome with dramatic situations and think about what a certain boy thinks about you all day/ terrible writing. Or a heroic character who also in a fickle love triangle, which was pretty annoying at times, but was also a stong compassionate fighter forced into a situation To fight for her life for the ones she loves. Hunger Games had the background romantic story but also had great writing compared to the former and focused on the subject of survival and revolution that made you excited to want to see what happens next…. instead of a will they wont they make this more interesting than what angst Bella is feeling at the moment.

Please stop comparing Twilight and The Hunger Games -.- And of course the Hunger Games is better. Great plot, action, just enough romance, and a deep meaning.

If you compare only the first books of the two series, The Hunger Games is the outright winner. It has far better ideas, structure, and themes. However, I was very disappointed with the last two books in the Hunger Games series. It seemed like the author was far more scatterbrained and the story was recycled. There were far too many loose ends that Collins didn't tie up, and the ending seemed grim and completely joyless. In my opinion, though Twilight has nearly no literary merit and is merely a guilty pleasure for me, at least the two succeeding books (New Moon and Eclipse) increased in quality. I'm not a fan of the fourth book. If I were to teach both of these books in my classes (I'm a 9th and 10th grade English teacher), I'd hands-down choose the Hunger Games. It would at least offer the opportunity for my class to discuss human rights, the power of government over the people, the enormous effect the media–reality television in particular–has on our lives today, and how a media-obsessed society like ours might progress. Twilight can be compared loosely to Romeo and Juliet (the star-crossed lovers), but that's about it. The Hunger Games would also appeal more to both boys and girls, where Twilight is targeted much more towards girls. Katniss is a resourceful, smart, and independent teenager who can think for herself, while Bella literally falls apart when Edward leaves her in New Moon (Was anyone else disgusted by the four blank pages marking the months after he left? As if your life simply does not go on if you have a break-up! NOT a good message to be sending our young girls.) The Hunger Games also has a much better overall message: It's about overcoming the odds and overcoming a much larger, much more sinister oppressive force, whereas Twilight is simply about how important it is to have a boyfriend.
