I was kinda disappointed in the movie I expected something different and better... I still liked it just not what I was expecting... I like the characters tho and Jennifer Lawrence is awesome... eh I guess I need to read the books
Is it actually stated that he's hanged? I thought Katniss assumed he was hanged or used the hanging dummy as a symbol for execution in general.
It's never actually stated. She can still hang the dummy in Catching Fire because, regardless, she's still killing him. And in Catching Fire, she didn't know how he died. She just hung the dummy because that was what she was able to do with the materials given to her in the training. I think it'll still work
I wondered that too, how or if they'd incorporate that scene into the catching fire movie now. Be interesting to see
But it doesn't make sense. in the last few parts of the movie, he was shown to be in a room with the nightlock berries. So if they were to show katniss hanging a dummy in next film, it would contradict to this scene. anyway i finally finished reading thg, and i don't even remember crane name being mentioned in the book AT ALL.
I could really see Ashley Tisdale playing Johanna. She has the pleasant but bitchy look about her.
Everybody is recommending these really young actors for the tributes in Catching Fire. I've always envisioned them as being older, like middle aged or so.

Johanna is in her early twenties, Ashley Tisdale is 26. The book says she won the hunger games a few years back. She and Finnick (24, I think) are the only relatively young tributes. Others like Mags, who is in her 70s, I think will be very interesting to cast.
Candidates: Robert Downey Jr., Philip Seymour Hoffman, Michael Caine
The winner:
Robert Downey Jr. is great in everything he's in. He also has the glossy, well-fed demeanor of someone who's spent his life in the Capitol, along with an air of untrustworthiness that keeps things interesting. We love Michael Caine for the same reasons, but he's probably a bit old and British for the part.
Mags
Candidates: Cloris Leachman, Steven Tyler, Betty White
The winner:
Look, we know Betty White is popular and Steven Tyler looks like an 80-year-old woman, but Cloris Leachman, who won an Academy Award for "The Last Picture Show" and our hearts as Frau Blucher in "Young Frankenstein" is really the only choice for this role.
Beetee
Candidates: Bryan Cranston, Jeff Goldblum, William H. Macy
The winner:
Yes, we know we're ignoring the hair color thing. But if Jennifer Lawrence can hit the post-apocalyptic Lady Clairol for the movie, so can our top pick, Bryan Cranston, who proved his comic chops with "Malcolm in the Middle" but blew our minds as a cancer-stricken chemistry teacher in "Breaking Bad."
Though Winona Ryder can surely play unhinged and Maura Tierney has a wonderful vulnerability about her, no one will be able to deliver the "tick-tock" line with as much earnest chill as Lili Taylor, who's great in everything she's in, whether it's the classic "Say Anything" or the quirky "Six Feet Under."
Kristen Bell, and not just because we want to see her weep with joy as she did when her boyfriend rented her a sloth for her birthday party. While we'd love to see Pinto try vicious on for size, we think the former Veronica Mars has it all over Pinto and Alba when it comes to playing sneaky and smart.
As much as we loved Jovovich in "The Fifth Element" and as much as we admire Biel for being the victor in the Justin Timberlake Marital Games, there is something wonderfully savage about Wilde. She scares us; therefore, she wins.
The morphlings
Candidates: Courtney Love, Courtney Love (looking more unhinged), Courtney Love (looking even more unhinged)
The winner:
We're not sure, but we think there is no one better than Courtney Love to play a 60-something junkie, and we would love to see the flower she paints on Peeta's cheek when...well, you'll just have to watch.
Finnick Odair
Candidates: Armie Hammer, Taylor Kitsch, Jude Law
The winner:
Yes, we know Jude Law is too old, and we included him partly so we could send him a message: You're too long in the tooth to play a prostitute! And you've worn an ascot in public! Neener-neener! But that steals the spotlight from "The Social Network's" Hammer, who has just the perfect heir air (not to mention hair).

That's an amazing cast options, but I don't think Betty White can pull Mags
