glacial looks? Oh, they mean boring.. I see.

A human face is never boring, so how can you say that? I think Cate Blanchett has one of the most distinctive on screen faces around

look at the photo above and tell me they're not asking Cate to act out the feeling vacant. She looks boring and empty and I fail to see the point of getting a good actress to do that when any bony model would do. "glacial" means boring.

"Glacial" means cold, not boring. I think she looks amazing. Cold and calculating and just perfect for the outfit,

Well, she looks vacant not 'cold', my point you see? Log in and get youself a username if you want your english correcting comments to be taken seriously, anon.

While I have reservations when certain [read, really talented] celebs 'sellout' and do ads - not minor pop farts like the Spice girls, but serious actors, comedians and artists who have cred to lose - I just wanted to add this to your little tiff here... Cate looks fantastic as Veronica Guerin, if you are a Cate fan you should try and catch that movie.
