I know this could be the least commented-on post of the day, but you guys are always telling me I should avoid covering Kim Kardashian at any cost, and I was faced with the decision: cover new photos of Kim K. or cover Rachel Weisz’s two magazine covers and interviews. Don’t complain, is what I’m saying. Rachel has a supporting part in the new Jason Bourne movie, the one with Jeremy Renner taking over the Bourne franchise, The Bourne Legacy. Incidentally, there’s a new trailer for The Bourne Legacy… here you go:
Part of me is disappointed that Rachel took the part of “the girl/damsel in distress” in a big action film – she’s an Oscar winner, for God’s sake. But the other part of me wants Jeremy Renner to rescue me. So… it’s a toss up. I love the Bourne franchise, though, so I know I’ll see this.
Anyway, some highlights from Rachel’s interviews in C Magazine and Vogue UK:
She doesn’t know how to cook: “It’s something I want to do. I’d love to be able to get in the kitchen and throw in spices, but I need to know some basics. I was just at the fishmonger down the road and there were these langoustines and he said you have to chop off the head and the claws and sauté them with garlic. He was French. He said he might give me a lesson?”
She hates complainers: “There’s nothing worse than somebody who complains.”
She likes taking on a challenge she might not accomplish: ‘I want to always feel like it’s a stretch and that I’m not quite sure I can pull it off… And I think that is truly the right reaction … I used to get really affected by my work, but when you have a kid, you have to come home and be there mentally.’
Separating reality from film: ‘When the director says “cut,” it’s all make-believe, and strangely enough, that took me a little bit of time to work out,’ she said.
Living in New York City: ‘Everyone moans about the city changing and becoming gentrified, but I think the East Village still has a little edge and also has a community,’ she said.
On The Bourne Legacy: ‘Jason Bourne is in the periphery of the story, but it’s about a new military program and I am thrown together with Jeremy Renner‘s character by circumstance, because, well, we need each other… The paranoia around the film is as paranoid as the film itself – I think they feed off each other. We had to literally run through the homes of these warm, kind people with all their washing on the line turned inside out because of the dust. We were literally on the run. We didn’t stop and talk to them in the film, so it was kind of weird… The tone is very realistic. I’m not playing a superhero, I don’t have superpowers. I don’t even have a gun. That’s really what I love about it, that as this type of film goes it’s not implausible at all.”
[Via The Mail & The Belfast Telegraph]
“It’s not implausible at all…” The word she’s looking for is “It’s plausible.” I mean, I make grammatical and syntax mistakes all the time, but for goodness sake. It’s not implausible? IT’S PLAUSIBLE.
Also – I didn’t know Rachel was still living in NYC after her split from Darren Aronofsky. I thought she have moved back to England to be with Daniel Craig forever and ever. Maybe they split their time between London and Manhattan.

“There’s nothing worse than somebody who complains”
You mean, like your husband?
Still…gorgeous woman — though I think she’s lost some weight.
P.S.: am really angry because I can’t find her movie “The Deep Blue Sea” (with Loki Hiddleston) anywhere here where I live. Damn it!

LOL! Oh, Amelia, I do (mind). I mind it so much — because I’m so broke right now. I can’t even think about ordering anything online (let alone in pounds!!!). But thanks anyway

I was hoping to see it in the theaters/rent it. Also — you probably don’t know about this — here in Brazil, really cheap bootleg DVDs can be easily found (they’re usually downloaded or a copy of the original DVD is made in a compressed format). So I was hoping to find one of them too (just in case the movie doesn’t open in theaters or the lousy video stores here don’t order it).
But so far…nothing!

Kaiser,
I think ‘not implausible’ is the same as ‘it’s plausible.’ The sentence is positive. Like in Math, in grammar two negatives together make a positive sentence. Right, grammarians?
Report this comment as spam or abuse
I thought it seemed correct. Although, I’m not an English major.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
right. what she meant is that it’s “not [impossible to believe]” or “not [unbelievable].”
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Correct. Nothing technically wrong with that sentence.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
She meant something to the effect it’s not completely implausible. No error there. She’s merely emphasizing, though using the negative form to make her point.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Its English as in how UK people speak. Its not implausible is Not the same thing as Its Plausible. Its throwing a little doubt on it being plausible.
There’s an expression in there, like, its…not Implausible… (she probably didnt mean it to sound this way.)
Report this comment as spam or abuse
totally right. She’s English, so she’s using a somewhat subtle way of saying “it’s not completely beyond the bounds of plausibility”. Yup, sounds mad, but we Brits would always prefer three or four clauses when one will do.
And, er, CB, ” I thought she have moved back to England…” – might want to hire a proof-reader?
Love Rachel. Gorgeous woman, intelligent choices (including Daniel).

It’s also how Americans speak.
She’s anticipating the interviewer or the reader thinking “this is implausible,” which is why she put the emphasis on “implausible.” Her grammar is perfectly correct.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Implausible = not plausible/not possible
Not implausible is a double negative so it becomes a POSITIVE – meaning it is plausible or possible.
She said is correctly

It funny because you also make a mistake right under the uncomplaint about “not implausible”

Yeah, her hubby is a bit of a whiner, but probably not to her. If she’s talking about people who do nothing BUT complain, I’m on board with that.
The “not implausible” made sense to me too.
Somehow her saying “fishmonger” seems totally naturally, but when Goop tries it, it sounds ridiculous.

I don’t write comments very often (not native speaker, I’m always afraid of making stupid mistakes), but I’m a regular CB reader and I’m really glad you chose Rachel over Kardashian. I would applaude you if you chose to post about some [even] recycled photos without interview or any kind of relevant story of anyone more talented than her (so it should be, “anyone. period.”).

I love Rachel, but that is terribly ironic considering who her husband is. Also, to be honest I dislike it when I hear people (celebs in public, not blogs
) complaining about complainers. Sorry, it just comes off self-righteous and judgey to me…a bit, I’m so humble and better than those other celebs. Not kidding, I would rather hear Rooney Mara whine then someone whining about how Rooney Mara’s whining is annoying in a magazine that the public reads. Other than that, I find Rachel beautiful and talented.

Love, love, love Rachel… beautiful and talented. Agree with those who dislike when celebs complain about ‘others’ who complain though. It does make her sound self-righteous and snooty.
On a side note… I am a huge fan of the Bourne movies, and I mean HUGE! (Did I mention HUGE??) (; For this reason, I’ll be passing on The Bourne Legacy (at least until it comes to cable or netflix). For me, Matt Damon = Bourne. No Matt Damon, no Bourne. I love the cast in this movie too… but, making a Bourne movie without Matt Damon is like making chocolate chip cookies without chocolate chips! Sure, the cookies will probably still taste okay, but they sure as hell won’t be chocolate chip cookies! It doesn’t matter how many times the movie shamelessly ‘references’ Jason Bourne, it isn’t going to make this a Bourne movie!

She’s not the first celeb to say they don’t like complainers but what do they mean. No-one not even Gandhi or Mother Teresa (okay I’m guessing) went/goes through life with no complaints. If she means those who complain several times a day then say that. And if that’s what she means how the hell is she enjoying living in NYC?
