Yeah, What Did I Expect?

I don't understand Nicole Kidman's new commercial for Schweppes.

I mean, Nicole is supposed to be some wax alien creature in India who befriends Rubina Ali from Slumdog Millionaire. The two run off to some gazebo by the water where they touch each other's faces. Rubina is probably transfixed with Nicole's frozen mug, because it feels just like an empty plastic yogurt container. After that ridiculousness, Nicole runs off to her room while unzipping her dress. She runs into Bollywood star Argun Rampal in the hallway and starts to give him a kiss, but instead she shuffles off. When she's inside her home, she grabs a bottle of Schweppes, drinks it, says "What did you expect?" and then giggles like a dumbass. Cut to Rubina inside of the room giggling with Nicole. WHA?! Touching a child's face by the water? Turning down a hot piece for soda? Unzipping your dress for absolutely no reason? This makes no sense.

But the biggest WTF moment is Nicole drinking Schweppes without vodka, gin or even rubbing alcohol. Ick. Nast. Who drinks that shit straight up?!

The commercial was directed by Shekhar Kapur.

I didn't know that...didn't he direct "Elizabeth" back in the day?

This commercial is very lame. Don't like the fact that the little Indian girl has to be all impressed with the snow white memsahib. It would have been better with Aishwarya in it. I really don't like when white women prance around in Indian attire--they can't carry it off at all (I'm looking at you Gwen Stefani and Goldie Hawn). BTW, I don't think this ad is for the Indian market. Is that French I see and hear at the end?

-----------------------------------

Yeah, I do believe he directed Elizabeth, and I am pretty sure he also did Eliz:The golden Age (runs to google) Yes on both accts.

It is French that you hear at the end.

ok well first of all its Arjun not Argun so lets fix that please. and as FINE as hell as he is this commercial trust me ladies, he has looked better. find a picture with no shirt! HOT!

2nd how offensive is this commmercial-- poor little Indian girl looks up to the blonde haired blue eyed woman as though she is the most beautiful thing she has ever seen? and touching her is some sort of orgasmic bleseed thing? PUH-LEASE!

and how this is a commerical for a drink i will never understand. what did i expect? i expected it to make sense.

Submitted by ImpertinentVixen on Thu, 05/07/2009 - 9:40am.

I actually do like Nicole Kidman and do think she is beautiful but the frozen granny thing gets me every time.

I did like her in The Others but feel her Oscar™ for The Hours should have gone to Julianne Moore.

Submitted by BluMunster on Thu, 05/07/2009 - 9:23am.

Ok stop hating people, nicole looks sorta pretty in this commercial. And for those who say its the Indian Moulin Rouge set, well maybe it is since Moulin Rouge was based on an Indian movie called Kama Sutra, about a courtesan that is promised to a maharaja but falls in love with an impoversished sculptor that works for the palace.
and yeah the kiss is never actually seen in Indian movies...so what did you expect?

Submitted by me0595 on Thu, 05/07/2009 - 8:06am.

Not a huge Kidman fan but a very clever ad.

Submitted by starsign on Thu, 05/07/2009 - 7:04am.

Oh and the commercial is confusing and idiotic. But so was the one she did for Chanel. The woman is overrated...big time! But in a way kudos to her. She is making mega bucks from very little talent.

Submitted by starsign on Thu, 05/07/2009 - 7:02am.

I'm a fellow Aussie but I have to admit that I don't get Nicole's populartity. The woman cannot act. She ia an awful actress actually. Dead Calm was probably her best movie but after that it has been shitsville city. She is wooden in her roles, she has no depth to her acting. I think Tom Cruise was one of the main reasons she hit it so big overseas, etc. Being married to him catapulted her rise to fame.

I don't dislike Nicole I just can't stand watching her on screen. She is painful to watch. I also HATE her girly, giggly, ingenue act. For god's sake Nicole you are not a teenager anymore, give it a break. Although I do think the giggling, especially in interviews, is because she isn't a very deep or interesting person. She flirts and wings her way through interviews.

Submitted by mesopwitty on Thu, 05/07/2009 - 5:40am.

I guess the commercial is alluding to the fact that in many Indian films, the girl and the guy are never seen kissing. In fact, most of the scenes lead into the kiss, but the audience never sees it. That's why they tease us w/ the kiss scene and then she instead drinks Schweppes. I dunno. That's my understanding, though it's still a nonsensical commercial.

Submitted by Mother Superior on Thu, 05/07/2009 - 3:39am.

Good that there was a cut after she gulped down the Shweppes. How loud must the burp have been that we would have heard otherwise.......

Just be grateful you don't have to suffer Antonia Kidman on YOUR cable network as well as granny. Antonia is twice as boring as Nicole and not half as pretty.

During Nicole's barren years, Antonia not only got knocked up x 4 but also hosted a reality doco series on Aussie TV called...wait for it...

"From Here To Maternity". **barf**

Here's a pic of Antonia Kidman looking like a corpse at the Astra awards last week. Just thought I'd share.

It's supposed to be artsy I suppose - the guy is hot!

But I think Nicole is gorgeous. Yes, too much work done but she was beautiful to begin with so it's not as bad as say Meg Ryan or Mary Tyler Moore where they don't even look like humans anymore.

She's still stunning and I don't know why people ridicule her pale skin. Good for her for not spraying it orange or letting it get like leather from the sun.

I don't like Keith Urban at all though. Creepy little toad.
