Value for money
By Spirit FingersAt last weekend’s Profiles in History auction, several bidders seized the opportunity to pick up some last minute Xmas gifts for the movie buff in their lives:
A cyborg skeleton from “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” brought in nearly $500,000 in an auction of Hollywood memorabilia dominated by props and costumes from Arnold Schwarzenegger’s shoot-’em-up sci-fi franchise.
The T-800 Endoskeleton used in the 1991 film brought in $488,750, said Marc Kruskol, a spokesman for Profiles in History, which staged the auction.
$500,000 may seem quite a sum of money to the average moviegoer but when you think about the wonderful thrills of fear and adrenaline-pumping excitement the cyborg has brought to so many audiences, the cost hardly seems worth quibbling about. Especially when you compare it to the $15 million paid over to Nicole Kidman for The Golden Compass to do pretty much the same thing.

They weren’t kidding when they cast her in “Stepford Wives.”

Seeing those two side by side now explains a lot.
It’s amazing that Nicole has managed to find colored contacts that hide her glowing red eyes.
