Cannot stomach the dreadfully miscast leads
21 December 2021
Alert to Hollywood: Hey! Wake up! There are many actors and actresses in Hollywood who could have done justice to the fabulous Lucy and her hubby Desi Arnaz, so why, oh why, cast these two, Kidman and Bardem, who look nothing like them and are well older to boot. Nicole Kidman has had her day, now she's a plastic replica of herself. I never understood why she got all the parts she did, in my opinion (and I'm allowed to have one) she's never been very good. And Bardem, a good-looking man (the misshapen nose never bothered me), but as Desi Arnaz? GOOD NIGHT! It's like Hollywood is playing a broken record! Stop being lazy, do some auditions, find the RIGHT people for the part! You know, someone who actually looks like the real people you are portraying, someone who can act, someone who can actually move their face!!!

I have now decreed I will never again watch anything with Kidman in it. If the producers think "Get Kidman, she'll bring in the viewers" they got that completely wrong! Kidman's name on a film is a surefire way NOT to sell tickets anymore. If I want to see wooden I can look at the mannequins in a shop window. And it's free!
