Nicole Kidman | Ayyyy!

At 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.

I can emote better than her I can frighten children better than it

Look I can raise my eyebrows

How is it that the wax version of Nicole Kidman looks infinitely more approachable and capable of emotional expression than the actress herself? The secret to humanising Nicole lies in months of painstaking detail and craftsmanship and possibly reading gossip magazines about where it all went wrong:

Designers spent about three months creating the figure, unveiled overnight in London, based on thousands of photographs of the Australian actress.

As opposed to the few minutes it took to find a headless store mannequin, attach something that barely passes for LeAnn Rimes’ face and slap on foundation that’s three shades too dark.

Short end of the stick
