I know Catching Fire's latest trailer was released a week ago and boy, how I wanted to blog post about it the soonest I saw it.
However, I got unbelievably busy the early days of this week that I never (unforgivably!!!) had the time to scribble something worth reading about this.
But here's what I got to say:

The Girl on Fire (Katniss Everdeen) and the Boy with the Bread (Peeta Mellark) return to the arena for the 75th Hunger Games, better known as 3rd Quarter Quell, where they once again battle for their lives, only this time with much fiercer opponents - the existing victors of the past Games.
Catching Fire definitely is bloodier and more emotionally gripping than Hunger Games because:
1.) Katniss and Peeta will have to face experienced killers;
2.) The previous victors have shared a friendship with one another that will soon result into bloodshed; and
3.) The twist in the end is so ingeniously orchestrated I almost had a heart attack reading it.
Here's what I love about the new trailer:
1. Finally got to see Katniss' wedding gown and what she looked like when Cinna turned her into a Mockingjay.
2. The split second when bare-chested Finnick seductively smiled and made every girls' ovaries want to explode.
3. The Katniss-Gale kiss which made all Team Gale fans shriek at the top of their lungs.
4. That iconic short scene where all victors stand in the stage behind host Caesar Flickerman.
5. And the montage of chaos that erupted in the different districts of Panem.
I do hope the next Catching Fire's official theatrical trailers (because I know there would be more to come) would include more scenes from the Games because really, it was mind racking imagining what the book was trying to describe. :)))
To those who haven't seen yet the trailer, go click the play button NOW.
All these and more add to the gloomy feeling that November is still a century away.
Fast forward to November, pleasssseeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
