Those in the Amity faction are loving, peaceful and farm the earth. Abnegation folks are all about selflessness and helping the needy. They're so focused
outward, they can only look in a mirror for a few seconds. Erudites value knowledge and science above all. They believe human nature is responsible for all
the ills of the world (including the big war that led to this re-tooled civilization). Candor is composed of people who prize honesty over all else.
Dauntless faction members are fearless adrenaline junkies. They train to become warriors who bravely defend the social structure.
At the core of the tale is Tris, played winningly by Shailene Woodley. Tris is one of the few Divergents: advanced, multi-skilled people who can't be
controlled. Their thinking "goes in a hundred directions," according to Tris' mom (Ashley Judd).
Divergents are a threat to Erudite faction leader Jeanine (Kate Winslet), who is determined to destroy them. She has brainwashed other Erudites and enlisted
Dauntless top brass in her nefarious plot.
Young people are allowed to choose their faction once they come of age, after undergoing an aptitude test. The Choosing Ceremony is vaguely reminiscent of
the Sorting Hat sequence in the Harry Potter movies.
Kurt Cobain's case stays closed despite rumors; it was gun suicide
(CNN) -- "And I swear that I don't have a gun."
-- Kurt Cobain, "Come As You Are"
Despite the pledge in those lyrics that went around the world in the early 1990s, police in Seattle say that Kurt Cobain did have at least one gun.
A shotgun. And he killed himself with it at age 27, their case concluded. Nothing has changed about that assessment 20 years after his death.
But as the anniversary of Cobain's passing approaches early next month, rumors have stirred on social media that police might be re-opening the case.
They are not, they said in a statement. But they are releasing new photos of the crime scene.
The released photos do not include images of Cobain's dead body.
But the dingy, scratched images of syringes, a tainted spoon, a lighter and other personal belongings strewn across the floor will likely bring back sad
memories for many fans.
Immortal attachment
