On Nicole Kidman

I watched the latest re-make of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and I honestly never realised up until then what a truly beautiful woman Nicole Kidman is.

Man she is absolutely gorgeous

I got to thinking and also realised that this lady has not been involved, as far I recall, in any scandals involving drugs, booze or whatever.

The film itself The Invasion is pretty much meh but at least it has an ending unlike previous bodysnatcher films.

I’d like to be on Nocole Kidman, I’ll tell you that!. :smiley:

If you want to wallow in the purity of her beauty, check out Moulin Rouge.

What was that witch movie she was in? Practical Magc? I’ve only seen pieces of the flick, but I thought she was absolutely stunning in it.

Yeah well form an orderly queue and remember I’m ahead of you

Bewitched

She used to be a lot prettier before she had her skin pulled back so far.

As far as drugs and such, she’s been scandal free, but now she has Keith Urban and he’s apparently not without his problems.

She was in Bewitched and Practical Magic. And she looked gorgeous in Practical Magic, IMHO.

Or “The Interpreter”, for that matter. Yowza!

I’m sorta partial to the prim and proper late 1940’s Nicole Kidman of The Others, myself.

I’ve always been a bit perplexed by the Nicole Kidman haters. She’s one of several actors I’ve seen dissed on this board for their lack of ability that make me quirk an eyebrow. Not that I’ve liked every film she’s been in - for example in the binary world of the Moulin Rouge haters/lovers, I’m a hater. Nor have I liked every role she’s had - she didn’t really have all that much to work with in Billy Bathgate, for instance. But really it seems like the majority of her performances have seemed at least solid and she has seemed to have shown some decent amount of range.

But I’m no actor myself, so maybe I’m missing something.

She is stunning, but in the last few years she’s been botoxed to death. Her forehead never moves and her expression seems quite plastic. She doesn’t need it.

Yeah, it was Practical Magic I was thinking of, I didn’t see even pieces of Bewitched.

I always thought Sandra Bullock was beautiful, but next to Kidman in Practical Magic she was barely noticeable.

You know, she’s pretty nakid in Eyes Wide Shut

So that makes you Lucky Pierre, right?

And you can see that she is a natural redhead in Billy Bathgate.

Which is the only possible reason to ever see that movie! Believe it or not, I actually got to the point that I didn’t care if she was naked any more, I just wanted the movie to end.

Range? What range? She does upper class, white, blonde female fairly well. Other than that–I don’t see a range. Renee Zellwegger and Meryl Streep, as well as Susan Sarandon have much, much deeper ranges than Ms Kidman.

And she has lousy taste in men. I won’t go see a movie just because she’s in it. I think she did a good job as Mrs Coulter in The Golden Compass. She’s not as bad as Meg Ryan, who plays herself (or at least the same person) in almost every movie she’s in, but she’s close, IMO. But then, I have little patience with ice queens (being one myself. Heh).

Then you haven’t seen either To Die For or Birthday Girl.

To Die For.
Oh my, when she’s dancin’ to that Skynnrd song…

True, dat. But I have no desire to–she’s not someone I look for in film. YMMV.
