Kidman On The Set Of "Australia"


Nicole Kidman is snapped on the set of her new movie Australia. At least I think that's Nicole - by that picture it could be some broad with a mouth deformity who happens to be decked out in period duds.



Australia, according to IMDb, "is set in northern Australia prior to World War II, and centers on an English aristocrat (Kidman) who inherits a ranch the size of Maryland. When English cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn cattle driver (Hugh Jackman) to drive 2,000 head of cattle across hundreds of miles of the country's most unforgiving land, only to still face the bombing of Darwin, Australia, by the Japanese forces that had attacked Pearl Harbor only months earlier."

Great - so it's like City Slickers with some bombing at the end (unlike City Slickers 2 which had the bombing all throughout). I'm sorry, but I'm not on the Baz Luhrmann bandwagon. I'm the only gay person on earth who thought Moulin Rouge was a tedious piece of shit. Plus the plot of that was just a rip-off of Camille, and I'm sorry, but in Crabbie's world the one person you don't fuck with is Garbo. Sorry Nicole, but you're no Greta. And Baz Luhrmann is no George Cukor. He isn't even Clarence Brown.
