Johanna was my absolute favorite.

[caramelaffair]

She was awesome. When she called out everyone at that talk show interview she instantly became my favorite.

[analievelyn]

that's so interesting!!

and she is so hot.

did anyone watch her in life as a house? so many babes in the film, including Hayden Christensen with darker hair. I stayed ready on desiringhayden.net

[caitiecait]

I was OBSESSED with that movie

[analievelyn]

everyone is so sexy

[alexlover14]

God desiringhayden.net - that site was an amazing fansite and I wasn't even into Hayden. I used to have a few back in the day and her site was the mecca.

I totally forgot that J Law made that weird crooked jaw expression for most of that scene lol

[glitterslugs]

some of her choices in these movies .... choices for sure

[quinzl13]

I feel like after the first one she was mostly over it/outgrew it.

It was a good opportunity to propel her to stardom but she was still an Oscar nom actress before this and was getting much juicier roles that probably were of more interest to her.

I just think she's an inconsistent actor. Katniss is a juicy role that isn't just popular, but one that also came with critical acclaim.

[januarysix]

her wink is perfect.

[notoriousreign]

lol I remember this scene and thinking "Jen really jumped out here as herself" even when I watched it for the first time. Like it definitely screamed more her than Katniss haha but that's not necessarily a bad thing! Still a funny scene and I never would've guessed they filmed it separately!
