Shamefaced
Shamefaced: (Adjective) Feeling or expressing shame or embarrassment.Ohhhhh snap! Frost Queen Nicole Kidman is totally pulling a Heigl and trying to distance herself from the cinematic manure,* Australia.
"I can't look at this movie and be proud of what I've done," Kidman, 41, told Sydney radio station 2dayFM. At the Sydney premiere of the Baz Luhrmann-directed epic, "I sat there, and I looked at Keith [Urban] and went, 'Am I any good in this movie?'" she said.
She went on to say that she only went to the film's premiere to support her director. "I don't usually see my films, but because of Baz I had to see it," she said. "I saw Moulin Rouge. I've really only seen that and this in my whole career. It gets worse as I get older." (Source)
Well you know what they say about hindsight being 20/20. But I guess it helps if the object in your hindsight just happens to be an astoundingly colossal critical and commercial pile of fail. All I'm saying is that I sure as hell didn't hear any of this bitching after she did the movie back in the 90's where she played that slutty reporter who effed a teenage boy to get him to kill her husband, is all.
* Does anyone else have trouble pronouncing the word manure? I always say it "man-urr" and people make fun of me. Discuss.
More of Nicole and her girly husband at the premiere of that movie she hated:
The best about growing up in Quebec is that no matter how tenuous your grasp of english speech, french folks tend to fuck it up as bad, if not worse than you. Can't say I ever had trouble pronouncing "manure" though.
Yes, but Nicole was actually good in To Die For.
Muh-noo-er.
Is that why she's been doing the same breathy schtick for years? Because she never subjects herself to her own performances and therefore can't see how ANNOYING it is?
Naw, I'm not seeing that as a Heigl (I always want to call her Kegel), it seems Kidman is actually a pretty humble person and is questioning her own performance, not the material she had to work with.
What JustBill said: muh-newer.
Yeah, I'm thinking that "shamefaced" is not such a great description of The Kidman because it kind of suggests that she can actually still MAKE facial expressions.
Just think "ma" (with a short uh sound) then "newer".
Dude, 'To Die For' is probably one of Nicole Kidman's best roles. Damn I love that movie.
She didn't put the movie down, she put HERSELF down.
How did you even get there? Fanciful twisting of her words. She's nothing like Heigl.
