Uncomfortably fun

Gold.

Granted, we're already in love with Kate Winslet from her performance in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and because of, well, yeah so what if we cried during Titanic, several times? It's just that song. Man. That song. Does it get any better than "you're here/there's nothing to fear/and I know that/my heart will go on"?

So Kate carried the first episode of Extras. We love her. Quick review: Gervais being Gervais but not at all, really. He's quite likeable. Stephen Merchant, aloof. Kate Winslet - brutal in as good a way as brutal can be.

Watch this show. Some of you will hate it automatically. That brings a tear to OMS' eye because that means it's priceless.

Best Winslet phrase from the pilot: "Purple-headed womb ferret."

From imdb.com:

Maggie's Boyfriend: So all that stuff about "polishing your husband's Oscar," was that supposed to mean his willy?

Kate Winslet: Yep.

Maggie's Boyfriend: And your basement?

Kate Winslet: My fanny.

See? Priceless.

See, my favorite Winslet line was, "I'm fudding myself stupid and bloody loving it." Said while wearing a nun's habit.

Oh, such good stuff.
