Goddamnit Hunger Games, I’ve just finished reading your first two books and let me please express my distaste if you’re going to overly market this film as a Twilight successor to tween girls.

I understand the financial appeal, but you actually have a really solid story to work with here, so having your characters appear in nail polish ads? Please stop.

What you see below is a look at Elizabeth Banks’ Effie from the series in her traditionally crazy hair and makeup, but instead of a teaser poster this is actually an ad for nail polish in “Capitol Colors.” Each color corresponds to a different district and…WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? Get back on track, marketing team.
