It was certainly an inbox surprise. Didn't expect the film to be in any shape to show so soon, but hey, I'm there.

Is Winslet officially the new Emma Thompson? I mean that in terms of Charming British Actress That Every 30-Year-Old Woman Idolizes, and who critics are contractually obligated to fawn over and flatter? Like, she's good and all, why does everyone have to kiss her ass *so* badly? It's like she's this exalted being beyond reproach, both for stuffed-shirt critics and gawky Anglophile Eng Lit chicks on their second kid.
Everyone's all invested in this "I HOPE MOVIE 2 DOESN'T HURT HER CHANCES AT WINNING HER INALIABLE-RIGHT OSCAR FOR MOVIE 1!"
She's fine and all, but there ARE other actresses.
Also, why is she paired with a zit-faced 18-year-old kid who looks like Howdy Fucking Doody in this movie?

That said, it OWNED when she showed her snazz in JUDE.

Yeah, there ARE other actresses, but Winslet has been OWNING since at least 1994 (Heavenly Creatures) when she was like 18 or 19. Four Oscar nods before 30, one since. Should've been nominated even more (Creatures, Jude, Holy Smoke, maybe Quills).
And yeah, it does kinda OWN that she manages to be the most highly respected actress of her generation while getting naked more often than the average Skinemax vixen.
