I am here for one person and one person only: Kate Winslet
YES. This. THIS is what will set Divergent apart from appearing like another Hunger Games-type-thing. And after Mortal Instruments flopped majorly this weekend, it needs her. And she doesn’t need it, Winslet, which is the great thing about her/hercareer. It looks good though, no? Better than I had anticipated.
I had two very real experiences watching the teaser trailer for Gravity last night. First: before I left my house to go see Gatsby (no review but I’ll say I enjoyed it more than I had anticipated, but it’s a hot mess and too long) the teaser had appeared online. Watch it, loved it, hyperbole hyperbole hyperbole. Second: the trailer was before Gatsby. I knew what was coming. I cringed. And then it happened: it was laughed off the screen.
I am very excited for this. If you are even slightly interested in cinema and movies and whatever, you’ll be interested in this. It’s Alfonso fucking Cuaron . If you, say, are genuinely looking forward to The Hangover Part III, then you might not be looking forward to this.
Gravity is going to be a hard sell. I cannot fucking wait to see how they try and pitch this. I mean, the entire movie takes place IN SPACE. !!!!!!!!!!!. It’s not like they can show footage from before the launch and trick audiences into seeing a movie about two people in space for 2 hours. But…but…it has two of the biggest stars in the world, two movie stars, two people who can still open a movie based on their name. I cannnnnnnnnnnnot wait to see how this does.
This movie is going to scare the shit out of me.

For those who wisely opted out of seeing The Dictator this weekend – which, by it’s box office #s this weekend is everyone – the teaser for the sequel to Anchorman has made it’s way online. Officially. Shout out to those blogs or websites that decided to post a camera-phone version of the trailer because thats what I want to watch. Seriously, what is the point of watching something so blurry, so out of focus, so bootleg?
Anyways, I like the trailer. It’s a little anticlimactic and a little been there done that, but I wasn’t expecting much from this teaser as I’m not even sure they’ve officially begun filming? It’s good though and it does it’s job.
