Sony really knows how to squeeze every penny possible out of theatrical revenue by releasing the extended cut of the film Anyone But You in theaters this February 9, especially for Valentine's Day. Successful movies are proving to perform well in theaters. The film has already surpassed 150 million dollars at the global box office, the production cost only 25 million dollars. Meanwhile, Lionsgate does not want to release the extended cut of the ballad of songbirds and snakes. i want and need to see that tbosas cut so bad!
Also how interesting is it that the thing that killed Snow was the thing he knew he needed to grow out of in The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes: obsessing over one problem, thinking that solving it will fix everything else?
That's how Coin outmaneuvered him. She got him to focus on the girl from District 12 while she turned his people against him.
And THEN, how interesting is it that the lesson he learned from his failed relationship with Lucy Gray is what saved him from Katniss' arrow?
In Ballad, Lucy Gray turned on him because he lied to her. She knew he'd killed three people, and he lied about the third, so he lost her trust in him.
But the one thing Snow made a point of in his antagonistic relationship with Katniss is to make sure they were both totally honest with each other.
When it's suggested to Katniss that the Rebels bombed the Capitol children and Prim, she's so confused she can't decide what she believes. And she specifically says she needs someone she can trust.
And when it comes right down to it? She does trust Snow's word. Because he's never lied to her. So she shoots Coin instead of him.
This is why The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes is such an interesting prequel. It really does set up Lucy Gray as the foundation for Snow's whole battle with Katniss--actually, for who he is by the time Katniss comes into the picture.
if i had a nickel for every time a super hot, unstable, privileged man in a piece of media shaved his head before losing his absolute marbles in the woods with a gun and i STILL wanted to fuck him, i would have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
