What Did You Expect?

I met Nicole Kidman once. I was awestruck because she had that 'movie star' glamour that not many stars have. This was about ten years ago. Her face still moved then, enough to give my friend and I a kiss on the cheek for finding her jacket after many failed attempts. I was pretty well awestruck. I think I floated through the next couple of days, I was a fan of our Nic. But now, notsomuch. We've lost that lovin' feeling (how was that for a segue?).

Have you seen Nicole's latest hoorah in the Schweppes India ad?




What did I expect Nicole? For one thing, I expected your face to move, that's for starters. Secondly, after all the hullabaloo, I expected this ad to be good or at least interesting. What the heck? What did I expect? A heck of a lot more than was delivered, that's for shizzle.

Nicole, you're a beautiful woman. But these days we don't know if you're sad, mad or we've just been had. Bring back the emotion. Bring back the facial movement. We miss it.
