Kate Winslet: Baller

You most likely have already encountered the humongous movie news that nearly broke the Internet this past Thursday.

Wait. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not the casting news about the guy playing the bloke in that movie about the two dudes. Seriously, what blog do you think you're reading?

I'm talking about the teaser trailer for "Divergent", the film starring Shailene Woodley (for whom the Academy already has a future Oscar on standby) and Kate Winslet (i.e. The Greatest Actress In The World), being released.

Alas, Kate The Great is featured in the teaser for all of one/third of a second, but still...... what an utterly riveting one/third!


She is marching down a dimly lit corridor in what I am forced to assume must be her secret underground lair. She is carrying what looks to be a binder under her left arm but don't kid yourself, reader. We all know that's a super-special exploding binder. She appears non-plussed but she's not totally overdoing the non-plussness, you know? She's like, "I'm displeased with the current situation that's forcing me to march down this dimly lit corridor in my secret underground lair but I'm not going to get all bent out of shape. Hell, I'm carrying my super-special exploding binder. I got this."

Best of all, and it's not even close, are all the flunkies trailing her. I mean, really. As a Winslet Devotee that one/third of a second is what I've waited my whole life to see - Kate with some flunkies.

This is why I love this blog. You keep serving up the REAL information.

Because basically, this" "I'm displeased with the current situation that's forcing me to march down this dimly lit corridor in my secret underground lair but I'm not going to get all bent out of shape. Hell, I'm carrying my super-special exploding binder. I got this."

is Kate to a T. I mean, does she NOT have this?

The problem I'm slowly realizing I will encounter with this film is having to choose a side. I know Shailene is the heroine and Kate is the villainess and the film will urge me toward rooting for Shailene but...........it's Kate.

So many problems in life.
