Francis Lawrence deserves a lotta recognition for what he’s brought for the Hunger Games franchise since Catching Fire. He made such tremendous effort in his care and level of directing throughout the films

So tired of people downplaying and dismissing these movies. THG is probably one of the most solid franchises out there – every movie in this series is so well-crafted and compelling. I will never understand why so many people sleep on the hunger games.

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson shows us what’s inside her Labubu-laden Louis Vuitton bag. The WNBA MVP always carries two pairs of glasses, depending on what the occasion calls for, and pulls out her favorite snack, a bag of Sour Patch Kids. The most meaningful item in A’ja’s bag is her late grandmother’s coin purse, which she now uses to carry her ID cards. “I don’t put coins in it because my heart’s in it.”
