To want to kill Nicole Kidman in the nauseating Chanel tv ad?

[FranticPants]

Why on earth are they running this again - when it came out last Christmas I thought it was a spoof, it's that ridiculous!! "I love to dance!" VOMIT!!!!!!!!!!! Someone tell me please it is meant to be ironic?

Fircone that's a good idea, she does do 'evil' considerably better than she does 'winsome'.

Hmm, you think the viewers won't want to identify with my character so much because the reality tv etc associations are not so desirable? We should check out the sales figures for Jade Goody's perfume - that should clinch it

'i love to wear squirrel'

DomesticGodless, am liking your Iceland snuff ad.
At the end, the splashes of blood fill the screen and then morph into a red background with the Iceland logo. Voiceover: 'Mum's gone to Iceland.'

pmsl at the voiceover Kathy. Could then have series of horror themed ads- Mum's Back from Iceland...

I think you lot have a distasteful obsession with violence in perfectly lovely adverts.

Kerry Katonas parties look like a lot of fun (and what a magnificent spread she puts on).

And the thought of Nicole strangling the squirrel in the back of the balloon basket and then wearing it proudly with an evil glint in her eye as she soars above the twinkling lights of the Manhattan skyline has rather ruined my lovely bittersweet ending.

LoL at Kerry Katonas 'magnificent spread'

Heh heh heh

Slubbers you are too pure for us.

But can you give your magical sparkle spin to an Iceland ad, eh?

tbh I haven't seen this years Iceland ad. Is kerry still doing it? I thought she was persona non grata with the cocaine scandal, or was that someone else?

I do remember last years, and the king prawn ring. There's a fair hefty dollop of Christmas Sparkle in there already (single mum done good, organises cheery neighbourhood and child friendly gathering with literal smorgasbord of filo pastry nibbles). It's what the true Christmas message is all about really. Doesn't need any more tweaking imho.

Have just returned from Christmas shopping to discover I have much catching up to do on this thread!

Not unreasonable at all, it makes me feel ill every time it comes on, i'd have thought Chanel would have more class than to have such a mawkish ad. I guess their market is for aspirational saddos who are impressed by this kind of guff?

I thought it was an oblique homage to Moulin Rouge. And a bit embarrassing. but no more than the fillum.

Kerry Katonas 'magnificent spread' in the Iceland ad always makes me think of Gillian McKeith's table of shame at the start of the show.

yes, all that beige food.

Am trying to imagine a party food table in the approved McK style - all purple and frilly green leaves and raw fish I suppose....

And miso soup... dont forget the miso soup.

Wasn't it supposed to be the most expensive advert ever made at the time?

What a complete waste of money - doen't even make any sense.

I hate all these perfume ads - they are so pretentious and invariably feature a model male and female dressed up to the nines in slow motion looking all mean and pouting.

It's just so boring and predictable.

Where's that Boddingtons advert when you need it the most?

"Do you want a flake with that love?"

isn't the guy the same from 'love actually' and recently Lost? must look in IMDB

very cute anyway

incredibly stupid advert

I thought he was Kylie's ols boyfriend

no it'd the brazilian guy Rodrigo Santoro had a look at a site with the cast and review (pop matters)

it's crap. plus Nicole Kidman is one of those people you can look at a million times and not see anything. She's been in some fairly good films and she's an ok actress but i just get the impression she's had her soul sucked out somewhere along the line. horribly judgemental of me, i apologise.

The Christmas ad I REALLY LIKE is the Ferrero Rocher one! And I don't mean the old 'ambassador's reception' one (much as that was indeed a classic) but the new one with the vaguely seventies looking gold people silhouettes and the Cilla Black sound track!

That Ferrero Rocher song is Emma Bunton - it gets stuck in my head for *day( whenever it's on the telly

I have no issues with Kidman - she is a very attractive woman and far more well-behaved than some other slebs - i guess that is why people think she is boring.

Bit like Kylie.

I am struggling to think of a film i have seen with her in it though - so maybe you are right.

Emma Bunton!

I have come to the conclusion I do definitely still want to kill her
