    Josh had a small role in a Spanish show playing the love interest of his actual girlfriend and boy did he win us over. Don't know why but the scene were they finally get together lives rent free on my head. ❤

    It is kind of unfortunate that Josh's whole pre Hunger Games filmography gets mostly ignored. I think probably only Elizabeth and Stanley Tucci had more onset experience, when he got cast as Peeta!

    Jennifer had done literally one indie movie, and a very supporting role on a mostly unseen sitcom.

    But I am a little disappointed that her Press Your Luck gig isn't in Elizabeth's long term plan. Because she's great at it.

    Cosine is one of the trigonometric (or trig) functions – sine, cosine and tangent. In geometry, it’s used in right triangles to find a side length given an angle and another side length, or inverse trig will give us the angle given 2 sides of a right triangle. You may also here the funky phrase “SOH CAH TOA” to find the sine (opposite over hypotenuse), cosine (adjacent over hypotenuse), or tangent (opposite over adjacent) of an angle. Brought to you by your friendly neighborhood math teacher!

    But otherwise it’s really great seeing you guys chat and catch up after the years. Hope everything is going well!

    In the first movie, I live near where they filmed some of the scenes especially the I volunteer scene. I could of been an extra that day but was working so I couldn't. They were asking for extras in their age range. The district 12 when I see that area. The part where they filmed the bread scene where Peeta throws bread at Katniss had to be shut down because so many tourists came and destroyed their property. They won't let anyone tour the property anymore.

    I took my granny, sister, and cousin to see Bridge to Terabithia. I was the only one who’d read the book. Didn’t matter. We were all sobbing the same 😂 we adore him
