The Official Tom Welling Thread

ugh I'm glad I was warned otherwise I would have puked right there by my mailbox. Some one seriously needs to teach BR a new expression I think that's the only one he ever makes. Sigh ah well we knew it would come all the press.......

[AgentPat]

I think we need to give a cookie to whoever said that the SR fans would be over here bashing us over the heads with this...

(And you know who you are...)Huh? Did you say something, Trip?

Wait! I feel the need to quote myself...

Just passin' through. Don't mind me...

You bet I will. While I will feel no remorse about burning the image on the cover, I will certainly not burn this:

Yum.

Yep.

Absolutely. Drop. Dead. Gorgeous.


MEHZEB, you still going to get me a present for my birthday?

An 8x10 glossy of that would be great, thanks.

If it were signed and then delivered in person by the guy with the massive guns featured in this photo it would be even better.... ;)

Bonnie and Tom!

[KAT1173]

The difference I see is that the one on the left looks like he knows what to do with his blond. Looks like good "chemistry to me". Of course, I've always believed you'd have to be dead not to have great chemistry with Tom.

The two that they've put on the cover look like they might be brother and sister and look kind of silly to me. Just my opinion.

Here's an interesting article to sink some teeth into...


Wanted: TV's Perfect Face
by Tommi Lewis Tilden

Still think beauty is in the eye of the beholder? Think again. According to one expert, it's possible to figure out exactly what makes a "perfect" face. And you'll be surprised at how he rates some of today's hottest male and female TV stars.

After 27 years as a practicing oral and facial reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Stephen Marquardt used his professional experience, along with his studies in engineering, to build a patented mask that he believes defines the ideal face. It's based upon a mathematical construction that uses the ancient Greek ratio known as the Golden Mean, a proportion that for centuries has helped artists, architects and others create eye-pleasing forms.

Dr. Marquardt's initial interest in this field of study was inspired by his personal life, beginning at age 4 when his mother suffered a car accident. "She was disfigured," he says, "so I always thought about why, when someone's face changes, you perceive [that] the whole person changes." And then came his teen years: "In high school I was always interested in why I found some girls attractive and not others. All the guys in school were chasing the same three girls and they were the prettiest ones. I was fascinated with how the popular girls got everything, how others were drawn to them because of their beauty."

Later, as a medical doctor, he began his quest for a formula for attractiveness after he realized that not all facial reconstructive procedures actually improved a patient's overall look. "In fact," he says, "sometimes people would look better and sometimes not at all. When I'd do surgery, we'd put the chin where it was supposed to be but it wouldn't work aesthetically because, say, the nose was too small. You have to make everything match and work harmoniously."

So Dr. Marquardt spent years studying, sketching and working with computer programs to create the image and measurements of the perfect face. "I knew I had to find out what the perfect nose, chin, lips, cheeks and jaw were, so I started to reach out to makeup artists from movies and TV and sculptors, painters, and plastic surgeons from all over the world," he says. "I was astounded that nothing had been written of any significance since the thousands-of-years-old rudimentary measurements of the vertical thirds of the face - meaning from the hairline to where the nose starts, down to the tip of the upper lip to the bottom of the chin. All the specialists were focused on their one area and ignoring the whole."

Finally, in 1992, after a breakthrough with the lips portion ("I almost gave up at that point," he remembers), he was able to get his beauty mask patented. Now, Dr. Marquardt devotes his time to speaking to groups about his lifelong work and to private facial analysis and consultations.

So how do some of television's finest faces fare when Dr. Marquardt applies his theories? Here are his verdicts:

Teri Hatcher
Perfect: She has a very pretty face with a big beautiful smile and nice teeth.
Less Than Perfect: Her nose is shorter than ideal, which means she needs to accentuate her upper lip.

Evangeline Lilly
Perfect: She has a very pretty face, nice full lips, very nice eyebrows, good forehead and nose and beautiful cheekbones.
Less Than Perfect: Her eyes are a little close-set and her jaw is narrow.

Eva Longoria
Perfect: She has a very pretty face, beautiful smile, nice full lips and beautiful teeth and forehead.
Less Than Perfect: Her eyebrows peak too soon, particularly her left one. (The peak should be at the outside corner of her eye, the tail of the brow should not be lower than the inside top of the brow.)

Pamela Anderson
Perfect: She has pretty, deep-set eyes with nice, high cheekbones, a pretty chin and a feminine jawline.
Less Than Perfect: Her lips, although full, are a little large and her upper lip is quite a bit bigger than her lower lip.

Jennifer Garner
Perfect: She has a pretty nose, nice full lips and gorgeous cheeks.
Less Than Perfect: She has beautiful brows but they're too closely set; she should open up the distance between them.

Tyra Banks
Perfect: She has a beautiful nose with a delicate tip. Her beautiful, wide-set eyes and high, well-shaped eyebrows give her an exotic look.
Less Than Perfect: Her upper face is exotic but her lower face, with the delicate jawline, is more childlike.

Josh Holloway
Perfect: He has a nice forehead, masculine brows, good strong nose and a nice jawline with a strong chin.
Less Than Perfect: His eyes are slightly sunken.

Patrick Dempsey
Perfect: He has a good forehead, masculine jawline, great hairline and a nice, strong chin.
Less Than Perfect: His eyes are narrower than is ideal and his eyebrows are too wide at the top.

Taye Diggs
Perfect: He has a very masculine face. He has a nice strong chin and jawline, good eyes, good cheeks and a very strong look and profile.
Less Than Perfect: His forehead's a little high and his eyebrows are a little too full in the middle, which pulls away from this eyes a bit.

Tom Welling
Perfect: He's very nice looking, with good eyes, good brows and a nice nose.
Less Than Perfect: His chin and jawline are short, giving him a bit of a childlike, feminine look.

Hmmm. Okay, Well, I won't disagree - I can see it a little in some photos, but not all. I think make-up and camera angles play a pretty important role in one's perception of a celebrity's appearance. Fact of the matter is, most of us don't get the opportunity to see what these people look like IN PERSON. That said, I think this photo shows what Marquardt described regarding the shorter chin...

http://www.patcostello.com/temp/welling3.jpg

But I think Tom's huge eyes play a larger role in the young, childlike perception. Children and young animals have larger eyes proportionally than their adult counterparts.


In this photo, Tom's chin and jaw seems quite average, so that whole childlike image is lost here:

It really depends on a lot of things, make-up and camera angles being the biggies:

He does make it easy though. Tom has such an overwhelming charisma that's not easily ignored...

That EW 2005 Must See list is a pretty nice bit of publicity for The Fog to have made. It's (the list) on the front scroll page of AOL... which ain't bad exposure-wise, ya know? I scrolled through to make sure that Tom and Maggie's pic was included, and it is.

But Kristin isn't playing Lois... :confused:

I guess if it's not a Supes movie you're casting, what difference does it make really, but it's sorta broken the symmetry of the thing, IMO.

I mean you got two Supes, two Lexes and one Lana and one Lois... :shrug:

ps. what did u think of the manip?

Anyhoo, great manip...

I've done one or two and they're not easy to do, so :up:

I agree. I guess Routh is okay, in general, if you like that look. However, some people in the Supes boards says he looks "huge" on the cover. Is it me or does he still look like he needs to hit the gym? I mean he has biceps - but he's certainly not huge, and I'm sorry, but he doesn't have the chest girth that he should have as Superman.

If you take the picture of Tom Welling with Maggie Grace and the one of Brandon Routh on the cover of EW, Welling's bicep is almost the same size as Brandon's unflexed! And if you take the picture of Welling's arm flexed (holding the baby), well . . um . . I think you get the picture.

Like I said, some people love Brandon, and that's all fine and good, he's just not my cup of tea - - or coffee - - or wine -- espresso . . latte . .

HAH!!! OMG, um... err.. okay, for lack of a better place to put this, there's a GREAT interview with John Glover here (http://www.windycitymediagroup.com/gay/lesbian/news/ARTICLE.php?AID=8666). But folks may want to read the *entire* interview, especially after reading the excerpts below.... *giggle*


Out in Smallville: Smallville’s John Glover
6/22/05
A man for all seasons: Glover offers inside look at his acting world
By BILL GREEN

...Glover wrapped up production on the fourth season of Smallville in April and it was quite a year for his alter ego, Lionel Luthor, who started out the season going to prison. Glover sacrificed his beautiful, long hair for an emotional introduction into prison life. So, one might assume, the emotion on Glover’s face is real when his head is being shaved in that episode?

“Nah. It was just acting,” Glover says. With a good actor you never can tell. “You never can tell,” he repeats.

“I offered it up. It had gotten so long in the three seasons that I’ve been doing the show. It was a pain in the ass and a bit restrictive so I asked the producers. I offered it up. I said, ‘If you’ll film it, I’ll shave it.’"

Another Lionel Luthor-heavy episode—one he spent two weeks in Vancouver shooting—is “Transference.” In the episode, Luthor switches bodies with Clark Kent. For the actor that meant taking on Tom Welling’s role for much of the episode. “Yeah that was fun. We had a good time with that,” he says, admitting to working closely with Welling to shore up the role.

“I was there on the set for all of his work. And he tried to be there for as much of mine as he could but because he’s got other episodes and things that he’s doing, it was difficult for him. He was so much busier. So he couldn’t be there for all of mine. But I was there for all of his.”

In one scene, where Welling is playing Luthor, he’s checking out his impressive new body and he looks inside his pants to check out the package. Was Glover responsible for that bit of direction?

He laughs.

Because that’s the first thing this writer would do if he found himself in Tom Welling’s body.

“Of course,” Glover offers up willingly. “I think it was in the script, though. I think it was. But Michael [ Rosenbaum ] and I, last year when I had a scene where I was having a massage and Michael came in, we worked out a father/son thing where I stood up and was sort of putting my bathrobe on where he looked down and checked out his dad’s package. That didn’t make it to the final cut.”

It appears he tries to insert himself into the characters a lot and make a lot of suggestions to the producers and writers. “I’m very pushy. Yeah,” Glover says. “The writers, I think they’re smart and they know we’ve been playing those parts now for … this is the fourth year ... we know the characters pretty well.”

WCT: Was it fun for you to play Clark, such a naïve and innocent character?

JG: It was. But what I found, because I play so many kind of neurotic, psychotic characters that the problem I had right at the beginning was I kept doing too much. … Tom plays that hero thing so well and so simply. And it was the simplicity thing I had the most trouble with.”

WCT: There is a question any gay man in his right frame of mind would want to know—as many of my brethren would attest: Do you, John Glover, secretly lust after Tom Welling?

JG: No ... but he’s a terrific guy.

WCT: But unfortunately married?

JG: Or fortunately...

HAHAHAHA!!! Brilliant! :up:

Yeah Serene, it's safe to say I'd definitely have a good time. Hee!!!

[newbrando]

I never knew Glover was gay
I never knew either. A while ago when I was at TWOP someone posted some links to the articles where he talks about his husband. I wish TWOP was up because I would link them now. I also remember that someone mentioned that John and Allison mention John's significant other on the DVD commentary (for Truth, I think it is). John Glover is an amazing actor. I always though he was hiding a crush on Allison and on Annette but he just adds so many layers to his character that he has this seductive aura that he has deliberately given to Lionel.

[Serene]

Wanna laugh? The first thing I thought of is how much fun I'd have in a gym. With THOSE guns, he's gotta curl at *least* 80lb DBs, maybe more. Took me a year just to work up to 45. :rolleyes:

Yeah Serene, it's safe to say I'd definitely have a good time. Hee!!!

Uh, yeah.. the gym. That's what I was thinking too.

What if Wal-Mart decided to remake ``Gladiator''?

Given the largest retailer's penchant for cutting costs, it might look something like ABC's ``Empire,'' a miniseries being burned off beginning Tuesday at 9 p.m. on WCVB (Ch. 5).

Instead of Russell Crowe as the slave-turned-gladiator, ABC has actor Jonathan Cake, who resembles Crowe from an angle.

As Octavius, Julius Caesar's young heir to the throne, the producers seem to be going for a Tom Welling (``Smallville'') clone with Santiago Cabrera but instead have picked a young Jeremy Sisto (HBO's ``Six Feet Under'').

This may be a clever casting strategy - if you can't afford the real star, hire a look-alike.

BTw who cares if Glover is gay? He's better than the majority of tv actors out there. I'm honestly not surprised at all either.

[triplet]

I don't think anyone really cares, it's just something of note...

[Serene]

Here's a nice excerpt from an old interview with Piper Perabo after CBTD1.

Tom Welling who stars as teenaged Clark Kent on TV's Smallville, plays Perabo's oldest brother.

"Tom is so gallant. He's like the old-fashioned movie stars. He was especially good with the twins who play the youngest children.

They were always hanging on him. They were almost like appendages." from:http://www.canoe.ca/NewsStand/LondonFreePress/Today/2003/12/26/296976.html

[triplet]

"Tom is gallant." That's cool... thanks for posting that. ;) :D

[Lara]

I don't think anyone really cares, it's just something of note...
Yep I don't think anyone really cares either or at least more than any other personal details about the actors. I'm just surprised that I hadn't heard considering I'm such a big fan.

[FEAR THE KNIGHT]

Hey, I just noticed that Superman Returns and Batman Begins have something in common: Routh's face and the Batsuit are both "teh puffy"! http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

(I kid. Like him or not, those pics of Brandon just aren't flattering. He looks bloated. http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/smilies/icon13.gif )

Yea I dont know what it means but he im sure is "teh puffy"! http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

BEST PICTURE EVER! LOL
Tom looks like he's the Butch, and Brandon's.. Well I could get banned for using words like that.. http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/smilies/redface1.gif

I never knew Glover was gay

It doesn't really matter.. He's a fantastic actor...
Besides there is alot of gay people in the world especially hollywood... lol :D

Gotta get used to it sooner or later.. Heck there's alot of gay people working on, and in Superman Returns to.
So it's no biggie...

The sexuality doesn't matter...Only thing that does is if that actor is true to the role that he/she is playing.

I'm not sure where to post this because I don't remember who asked for this image but no one seemed able to find it a couple of weeks back. So, I was looking for something else on my hard drive and ran across it (I REALLY do save everthing ;) ).

I think it was in here somewhere, it's not that I think this thread has been hijacked lately, in case you were wondering....

Here's a scene from the beginning of "Heat," where Lex asks Clark to be his Best Man at Lex's wedding:

No, that's not what makes this scene somewhat unique. In fact, I don't think there were any others like it, though if there were, I bet James knows hehehe. (I'm kind of giving it away. I should shut up and let you guys figure it out.)

Good catch!

I thought something looked weird about his face and I kept looking at his mole...

I wonder why they do that from time to time.

Is it a compositional thing or do they unknowingly break the visual plane of the scene and have to fix it in post?

[AgentPat]

Hee!! Well that didn't take long. Yes, the scene was flipped. When something like that is done, it's most certainly not by accident. Most of the time it's necessary for proper composition; you don't want it to look like the characters are dancing around each other off camera. I wouldn't consider this example an egregious continuity glitch - at worst, poor blocking by the director - but it did glare out at me since I know Welling's face all too well. Pretty freakin' sad, eh? LOL

[mellyM]

LOL..not sad at all..whenever they flip the film, or even a picture, his eyes look weird.

[jas01724]

And James, I know it won't take you more than a nano second, so HUSH! LOL :p ;)Piffle! :p

They do that on SV more often than even I thought, but most of the time they're lucky and the shots aren't blatantly obvious. If it weren't for that mole life would be so much easier for them - but if Tom ever has it removed I'll slap him via registered post, FYI. :D

This also brings up something. So many people I've spoken to think that, ignoring the mole, his face is pretty much symmetrical. It just. isn't. His jaw and mouth are very slightly lop-sided, and I'm fairly sure his left eye is a touch higher and possibly bigger than the right. Spend too long staring? Uh, nooo.....

Flipping/flopping is the number one cause of otherwise great pictures somehow looking "wrong" in a way that's difficult to put your finger on.

[Serene]

Hee!! Well that didn't take long.
Okay.. so where's my prize? Lunch with Tom.. Week in Hawaii with Tom? I'm not picky.

[mellyM]

Well James, symmetry is highly overrated:D
and don't forget about his adorable scar:)

[avidreader]

Okay, I suppose I should read the whole thread, but isnt his mole usually on the right hand side of his face. Left side of screen when he's facing camera. I know in one of the season credits that it's on the left hand side of his face but, I'm confused.:confused:

[avidreader]

Okay, I wanted to read every post, but I would have been there for a month, so I started from May onwards, and I saw the first picture that was posted from Heat. Now I get it, but he does have his mole on the other cheek in one of the opening credit seasons.

Avidreader, good luck trying to read *every* post in this or the other TW thread. No doubt, there's some VERY interesting stuff here, but ya best put on a huge pot of coffee before endeavoring that challenge. LOL



On an unrelated note, anybody here from France? How popular is SV there? Any clue? I just read an interesting article in Variety about the Live 8 concerts, which went out globally on more than 140 TV stations this past Saturday. In the States, it aired on VH1 and MTV, and on BBC1 in the U.K. Here's an excerpt from the article about the broadcast in France:

In France, 100,000 people attended the concert at Versailles, and 10 hours of the show plus highlights from London were aired on commercial terrestrial broadcaster M6. However, M6 cut away to three episodes of "Smallville" from 9 to 11:30 p.m. before rejoining the gigs.
Huh? Wha? Really? Color me shocked. No, really. Wonder what's up with that? Couldn't be a ratings thing, cause the article goes on to point out...

At 5 p.m., some 1.3 million viewers were watching, a 12.4% audience share compared with M6's average in that timeslot of 11.5%. At 8, audience was up to 1.9 million, 12.5% audience share compared with 9.5% on average. But by 11:30 M6's usual 14% audience share had slipped to 9.6%.
Odd.

[avidreader]

A huge pot of coffee and a couple of glasses of wine, no that would just make me blurry eyed, I should stick with the coffee.:) I dunno, I just think TW is so gorgeous that I couldnt read enough about him.

I would think that Smallville is extremely popular in France as they were recently awarded that Jules Verne Award for being the best TV show ever. And I have read a couple of posts from French posters over at Ksite who say that Smallville is a very high rating show over there. In fact I think they even said that it beat Lost.

[mellyM]

per Avid's request:

(Hint hint, if anyone has any screen caps that they can post in the picture thread I'll be real happy). His face was just so gorgeous in that scene.

Someone over at Ksite, TW picture thread, posted a great picture of CBTD2 where the family is in a boat. Tom is looking incredibly "fantastic" his presence just overpowers all of them. I would repost it here, but I dont really know how to.

[AgentPat]

Well, seeing as that DTS blatantly lifted copyrighted pics off Getty Images, painstakingly depixilated their logos, and then had the nerve to slap a HUGE DTS logo on the same image (man, talk about ballz!), I figured I'd be so kind as to provide a "CLEAN" depixilated shot.

I understand wanting to "protect" your own images - even I put a logo stamp on my own caps and scans - but at least mine are nice and tiny and blend in with the background. I think DTS is going a little overboard these days. :rolleyes:

Anyhoo... here's one of those nice shots from the TCAs. Credit to Getty Images:

oooh, whereas the picture from?? EDIT: Duh! Leech..right?Yup, it's the ending of Leech. Good episode - entertaining - but the concept kinda bothered me. Clark's powers are a direct result of his biology and the effects of a yellow sun. Why would Eric Summers (FOTW character in Leech) be able to acquire Clark's abilities - at the expense of Clark - by just an electric charge and some K-rock? Meh. If there was some kind of magic involved, maybe...

I agree, that's why I feel that more than ever they have to get away from the fotw concept. As reality based series as it is, it IS based on a comic book character so just show there are other ppl in the world (hero and villains) with powers that didn't came from kryptonite.
That episode was entertaining though and I think it's the first episode of the series where we see a glimpse of the man of tomorrow.
When Eric asks Clark what he would do with his powers, Clark answers that he would use them to stop people like him.
Classic.

[triplet]

You know, I didn't think that Leech made all that much sense but I still loved it because it was such a great Clark episode...

There were some great scenes where he was finally able to just be a teen. I loved it. and then he was still brave and selfless even without his powers...

Great episode, logic lapses aside.

I have that magazine laying around here somewhere. I wonder if Tom made it to the print version? I'll have to find it and see. I know I saw the Teen Hollywood headline on it.

I'm guessing he's not in the print version. The "Hollywood High" segment (as I mention on ye olde site) is recycled from a few months ago. I didn't see it the first time around so it is new to me, but I know it's not actually new.

Another oddity: Everyone is saying how they'll hope Selma pushes The Fog in her appearance this friday the Tonight Show, but I think that would be extremely unlikely...

Maybe she'll mention it, but she's there to push her new film. She is the headlined guest, however, so she'll cross a commercial break... so maybe she'll time to talk about it and how hot Tom is in it! :D ;)

I'll watch it in any case, the only certain thing about her appearances on TV is that she'll be a lot of fun. I've seen her a time or two before and she's very unpredictable.

:up:

I guess hope does spring eternal, but chances of her doing more than mentioning The Fog are slim to none...

[jas01724]

I could have mentioned Selma's talk show thingummy this time last week if I'd felt like it, but the chances of anything more than a brief mention are, as you say, slim.

(Note to chumps: If you take something from someone else, check it twice. :eek:)

[RakuMon]

Yeah, it's.... just... wrong.

:confused:
But, alas, it is proof of yet another high profile comic book professional's approval of Tom Welling and Smallville.
Add Mike Stribling to the list which includes Jeph Loeb, Alex Ross, Mark Waid, & Carlos Palaguyan.

Somebody PM me or just come out and say it LOL. Which site are y'all talking about? I went to the main page of the usual suspect and didn't see anything about Selma's appearance on the Tonight Show. In fact, if Triplet hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have even known about it.

You guys seem convinced Selma won't say anything about The Fog. How come? Why is she going to be on the show? Is she promoting another film or something?

<-- feels like a mushroom today

PS: Her commentary track on Hellboy is hysterical. She's quite a nut. I'm looking forward to seeing her this Friday.

[jas01724]

Naming them would spoil my fun, calling them chumps is far more amusing. ;)

She's pushing her new film, which she has a small part in (she's fifth or sixth billed, I think), Pretty Persuasion. (http://www.prettypersuasionthemovie.com/) It opens on Friday, thus the appearance methinks...

You've got a PM, btw... ;) :D

<-- feels like a mushroom today

Happens to the best of us...

PS: Her commentary track on Hellboy is hysterical. She's quite a nut. I'm looking forward to seeing her this Friday.

She's always a lot of fun, so I'm also looking forward to it.... Hopefully she'll mention The Fog, I think Stevie is the biggest role in the films she's in this fall, so that is probably pretty likely.

However, I really doubt she'll do much more than mention it....

WAY too early for clips I would think.

[triplet]

Oh, and by the way: the preem for Pretty Persuasion is tonight.

That nifty site that James (http://www.tomwelling.org) had linked to, where he found the info on The Fog preem, had info on that one as well...

http://www.seeing-stars.com/Calendar/#premieres

Maybe Selma will be on the entertainment news mag shows tomorrow....

It's not a high profile film, to be sure, but she's usually a good one for providing good sound bites so you never know.

She may even say something about The Fog, I think unlikely (especially in a sound bite from another film's preem) but possible.

Craig (K-Site admin) posted this in one of the threads there. I thought folks here would get a kick out of it...

...I was about 20 feet from Tom Welling a few weeks ago at the TCA thing and he's a VERY good looking guy. I'd go so far as to say better looking than he is on TV. But also, he was a bit fumbly and unprepared, which was charming in a way that we don't really get to see from Clark Kent.How cool is that? :D



Wonder how "fumbly" Tom is with dinner napkins? LOL (Sorry, couldn't resist) :p

Yeh, that girl (?) she had some serious issues happening there. I kinda worry when people can get that worked up.

I dont know if you went through the whole thread but what she was saying about TW, was just outright insulting. Wouldnt surprise me if she got a warning.

I think most people were on your side, although I think most of them are probably a little too immature to understand your post. :)

Tom has definitely progressed to an amazing talent throughout the last four years but looking back on some Season 1 episodes, he even had an amazing amount of talent then for someone who had really never done much acting before.

TPTB, who are obviously more aware of what to look for than the fans, obviously saw amazing potential in him, which he has definitely lived up to. Not many actors do two BIG films during their summer hiatus.

[AgentPat]

I guess I missed that. Okay James, whaja go say over at K-Site that got everybody's panties in such a bunch?

(This ought to be good LOL)

[jas01724]

And for the third day running, the nitwits who "don't need to take anything from [me]" have done. :D

[Grand Sophy]

I agree with Sveta, Tom really didn't deserve to win.

The range of characters and emotions he had to play, and the success with which he pulled them off, were absolutely nothing compared to Michael's GREAT scenes where he ... wait, I'll think of something ...

http://www.discodelic.netfirms.com/ez-wink.gif


Much subtler than some of the comments, but funnier too. It's interesting how some people can't read the subtext from Tom's face and body language. Researchers have found that certain people are worse at reading facial expressions; teenagers are one group, as are people with non-verbal learning disabilities or Asperger's syndrome, or people with traumatic brain injury. Most misreading comes because people are listening to the words rather than reading the face. If Clark is talking blankity blank in one of his rear-guard cover-ups, and trying to look ignorant and innocent, you have to look harder to see the uncertainty, the guilt, the anxiety. The writers actually addressed this aspect of Clark in Blank, where he's frustrated with his inability to remember and Lois tells him in the loft that he usually hides all those emotions.

Craig's comment that Tom is a very good looking guy reminded me of a short interview with Alison Mack, I think shortly after Devoted, where the interviewer asked her if she enjoyed kissing Tom, and Alison answered in the affirmative, asking in some incredulity "Have you seen him?"

[jas01724]

Eh, I don't know how many people actually "got" it. There was so much bickering anyway ...

*waves to Scarlett*

[Serene]

I went to try and read the whole thread.. I couldn't handle it. Between that Sveta (who can't be more than 12 years old), and the people flipping out about the favorite couple winners.. I just couldn't read anymore.

I really do love K-Site.. I'm just too thin-skinned for their forums.

[triplet]

Wow... what the hell did I miss?

I've got to head on over to k-site.

[Grand Sophy]

It's ironic, MR may have lost out on the acting award because this year he's had to portray the same kind of mixed messages that TW has to as Clark. Lex is much more duplicitous this year, and less willing to give anything anyway by his facial expression. You have to read more than one meaning into it. Of course with Lex you're supposed to be left guessing, whereas with Clark we're meant to know what he's really feeling (poor baby!) In Scare when Clark offers his blood for an antidote, we know from the Smallville Companion (or whatever that book was that I was too cheap to get) that a great deal of discussion and thought went into how Lex should react. It's only a few seconds, and he can't be obvious about it, but from the hesitation in his body and the arrested look on his face you can tell his mind is racing and his heart leaping. A great reaction, but not showy. That's the sort of acting that has been undervalued in Tom's previous three seasons.

[mellyM]

I think people (including me) admired everything in Tom's performances this season, and what incredible range he showed. I could look at his face and understand what he was feeling and more importantly what he couldn;t express and wanted to, I could see his inner struggle, and thats something he seemed to finally grasp this season.
It wasn't just about the showy performances, but he completely embraced Clark this season...for me the moment in Commencement when he was speaking to his parents, for what, for all he knew could have been the last time, was a wonderful quiet piece of acting.

And saying Tom is good doesn't mean MR is bad. Tom fans are much more generous when it comes to Michael, unlike a lot of his fans toward Tom. I have no idea why that is.

[triplet]

Man, in reading those forums I remember why I never go into the episode discussion or general forums...

I won't be reading that. I can't stand when MR fans are all snobby about their precious favorite, I imagine that's what's going on. People need to get a grip MR isn't the Oscar caliber actor they think he is. I do understand watching a show and not liking the lead. I don't like Angel or DB yet the first season of Angel was pretty good. I never could understand it till that experience.

[Serene]

What bothers me is how competitive things have to be. There's nothing wrong in having favorites, we all do.. but damn..preferring one doesn't mean you have to hate the other.

It's a fan poll, just a fun way to interact with our favorite show, it's not rocket science. Not all of my selections won either. Meh. I'll kill myself later. :rolleyes:

I will never get how anyone who watches this show can not like Clark and/or Tom. That's just beyond my comprehension. Why watch then?

What I don't understand is why do people care if Tom is a good actor? Let me explain why before screaming at me! He is on a wb tv series... Since when are the actors of such shows all that great? SMG of Buffy? David Boreanaz of Buffy/Angel? They aren't the greatest thespians :o Tom is good looking, in decent shape, and while his face may not resemble the Superman of comics, remember the show isn't meant to be a faithful adaption of the comics. Having cover model looks and not the most acting experience, on the WB? NOOOOO WAYYYYY :rolleyes: I really don't care if his acting is good. The show is taking a different approach on Superman to be able to spread out for a long period of time instead of a couple hours like a movie would. They didn't just change things because of artistic ideas, they changed things to make the show last longer. To keep a show on the air for an extended time they have everything that's needed. A good looking cast, decent special effects, and fan support. Why people care that Tom isn't a great actor is beyond me. This is not a movie so they can't expect him to be Deniro :rolleyes:

[SuperCJ]

Bebe, wasn't she on Cheers? Man she has great legs :eek: :D Who cares if she can act :o ;)

[triplet]

She can act, she's won a tony I think, it's just that her voice grates on my last nerve.

Can't stand listening to her talk, she wasn't bad on cheers. It didn't bother me on Cheers or on Frasier, but in that show.. yikes. couldn't stand to hear her.

Voices and how they sound are important to me for some reason I don't completely understand, I couldn't see the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory remake Tim Burton did with Johnny Depp mainly because Depp's voice drove me up a wall... (he described the voice as a cross between a child's TV show star like Mr. Rogers, and a talk show host).

Too high pitched and breathy... :shiver:

I don't think I coulda stood listening to him for two hours, the trailers, commercials and his talk show appearances were bad enough....

I just find him bland and not a particularly good actor. The Costars and plots make up for it though. I also didn't like the captain on DS9. which I'm watching on DVD now too. I think in Scfi shows the concept is often more important than any particular actor. Many people watch Smallville who can't stand KK so some people not thinking Tom is a good actor I can see them still watching. I think the people who say they HATE him are exgerating(sp)

What the heck is that comment for ? :mad:

Yes I was serious. I think SV is a good tv show and I can admit Tom isn't a great actor but his looks are perfect for what they need. They aren't telling a story based on the comics, so him looking more like a model than Superman is not a problem. It's more of an elseworld's tale. I like Tom but I must admit facial features are not his strong point in looking like Superman :o Most fans would agree that like Dean Cain he doesn't have the typical all american look like you'd find in the comics.

[avidreader]

Tom does an amazingly fantastic job at lying badly, it's not that easy to get that look right . Something we all know that Clark Kent is not comfortable with.

It wasn't just about the showy performances, but he completely embraced Clark this season...for me the moment in Commencement when he was speaking to his parents, for what, for all he knew could have been the last time, was a wonderful quiet piece of acting.

I agree, I've watched that scene over and over again, it was brilliant.

And saying Tom is good doesn't mean MR is bad. Tom fans are much more generous when it comes to Michael, unlike a lot of his fans toward Tom. I have no idea why that is.

I have no idea why either, but it is something that I have picked up on over there as well, and why I think alot of them were disgruntled with Season 4 because unlike Season 3 it was more about Clark Kent. Isnt this was Smallville is primarily about???:confused:

I was talking about his face only. His physique is good, but looking at the comics his face doesn't match up. As I said that doesn't matter since they aren't trying to look like the standard Superman anyways. It's made for the wb on tv, of course he's meant to look more like a model.

The thing is no one really looks like the traditional comic book supes...

Yes, Tom is super model gorgeous but why is that mutually exclusive to being supes?

Christopher Reeve was a hunk back in the day and I can remember thinking him dreamy way back when....

I had quite the crush on him and, if I remember correctly, my school girl crush on CR was actually the reason I started reading Superman comics in the first place.

[AgentPat]

What's with all these people referring to Welling as "Superman?!"
Don't they know he's not wearing the suit and lives in Smallville NOT Metropolis?!
Jeesh!!!!LMAO!!! It IS funny, init?

Quick story... on my last trip to NY, I stayed at the house of a good friend of mine. I've known him for years. He's a US citizen, but was born in Cicely, so he has a pretty thick accent. He's a beautician by trade, unmarried (put the pieces together folks ;) ), mid 50's... and LOVES Smallville. I just found that latter detail out. The SV one, that is. :p

Paul (my friend), knows very little about Superman, but he knows enough to recognize the character from the \S/ logo and the suit, neither of which have really been seen in the show. Yet in Paul's broken English, he STILL calls Clark "Superman." It's *really* funny to hear. And what's even funnier? I asked him what he liked best about the show - why does he watch it? His answer? Hee! "Lana." He loves Lana.

:rolleyes:

Okay, it gets better. Imagine this conversation with a 55 y.o. guy spoken in a thick Sicilian accent...

Since he's fairly ignorant of the mythos, I rained on his parade a bit and said, "You know Clark ends up with Lois, right?" Paul said, "Yeah, I figured that. Makes sense. The blonde, right?"

[scratches head]

"Um... well, yeah, she does have sort of blondish hair, I guess."

Now Paul is confused. Remember, he's a beautician, so he notices hair. We were watching an ep on ABC Family when we had this conversation. Paul said her hair isn't "sort of blondish," it IS blond.

Now I'm even more confused.

"Wait, which "blonde" are you talking about?"

"The only blonde on the show"

????

"you mean Chloe?"

"Yeah, that's her."

"Paul, Lois is a different character."

"Which one is Lois?"

????????????????????!!!!!

"Paul, do you watch the show at night, or only on ABC Family?

"I only watch it on this channel. It airs at another time?"

Problem solved. But now that I know he's only seen the show on ABC Family, him calling Clark "Superman" is even more funny. He hasn't even seen Clark (as Kal-El) FLY yet. LOL

***********************

Regarding the pictures, I'm not going to try to second guess the motives or intelligence of the person who posted them on her site, but the moment she did, they became public domain. Everybody from here to Timbuktu has now had the opportunity to save 'em, re-post 'em, and discuss 'em in open forums. The genie is out of the bottle, the bell has been rung, and Elvis has left the building. The damage is done folks. Let whomever is in the picture complain to the person who initially uploaded it. It's not our problem anymore, y'know?

And finally, I agree with Serene. That's one beefy man there, uhuh!

There's at least two HUGE forums discussing the photos now, and the pics are STILL up on that site, so maybe it's not as much a big deal as it's being made out to be? I dunno.

I think it was James who asked folks to consider how they would feel if their photo just appeared on the Net w/o permission, and if you think you'd have the slightest bit of trepidation to that, folks should consider taking the links down. So I see the logic there. That said, if it was a photo of ME standing next to... *gulp* Tom freakin' Welling, I would NOT be hiding it in a goddamn desk drawer. LMAO!! You better believe I'd have that sucker posted like everywhere for all to see. :p ;) :D

Again though, I don't see it as being "our" problem - if there ever was a "problem" to begin with. The pics are out there. Everybody has seen them and I'm sure many have saved 'em. You can't unring the bell, though you can stop your own from ringing tomorrow. There's a lot of bells out there though, and they're all still ringing. Judgment call.

I agree with you on that one, :) about posing with Tom that is.

I'm sure whoever originally posted them would have been aware of the fact that once there on the Web they are there for all to see, so I dont see it as being a real problem.

I agree with you on that one, :) about posing with Tom that is.Hee! My knees are weak just at the thought. Seriously. Talk about a treasured photograph, eh? LOL!!

I'm sure whoever originally posted them would have been aware of the fact that once there on the Web they are there for all to see, so I don't see it as being a real problem.I believe the controversy stems from the fact that it wasn't the person in the photo who initially posted it - it was somebody else - a relative or something. Therein lies the "problem." Does the person in the photograph know their picture has been circulated to THOUSANDS of people during the last few days? Moreover, do they care? I see a lot of discussion about it, but nobody has mentioned e-mailing the person. I mean, hello? The e-mail addy is right there. If folks are concerned, why not just ask the site owner? :rolleyes:

Meh. I'm not gonna personally sweat it. Both photos are really nice IMHO. I've seen FAR worse things in this world than to stress the morality of posting a photo of a few smiling people standing next to a celebrity on the I-net. Hell, if anything, I'm green with envy. ;)

[avidreader]

Yeh, and now I want to go to Martha's Vineyard. Damn, I was just up in New York, and I probably wont be back for a very long time, unless we get posted to Calgary.

[mellyM]

Good, I'm not going to sweat it because if you go to webshots and search "Tom welling" they pop up...if the person didn't want them shared, they didn't have to caption them and make it all very shareable. I'd like to think if I had my picture taken with Tom I'd create a damn billboard if I could.

Ok, its a nice picture, he's not doing anything weird, and I'm not going to feel guilty

Goodonya, and thanks for sharing them with us.

I just noticed your from Maryland, I was there a couple of weeks ago. What a beautiful place. We also went to Anapolis and that was absolutely gorgeous as well. Beautiful part of the country.

[AgentPat]

Yeh, and now I want to go to Martha's Vineyard.Hubby and I almost ended up MOVING there. How weird would that have been? My husband sometimes works on the island and knows the hotel that Tom apparently frequents. I've never been to it, but I believe it's the only luxury lodging on the Vineyard with a full gym attached.

LMAO! Gotta give the guy credit, eh? :up: :D

I'm *seriously* considering vacationing there. Never know who you might meet. Hee! ;)

I've *always* wanted to visit there. I've seen a lot of the states, but not very much of that part of the country. I'll have to get the name of that hotel from you, Pat. ;)

Concerning the pics.. James made some valid points about the privacy of the girl actually in the picture. Still, I loved seeing them and I saved them.. so I guess I can't really throw any stones.

I can't imagine posing for a picture with Tom. I've never been intimidated by any "celebs" that I've met, but him.. I dunno.. I just might go into that deer-in-headlights mode.

I *think* he said it was in Edgartown (sp?). It's a dry Island save for two places; Edgartown is one of 'em.

Wanna plan a joint vacation next summer sometime? [grin]

To be perfectly honest, I'd really be a mess. If I ever did "meet" him, I'd prefer it be a complete surprise. Like round a corridor bend and *crash -- oops -- pardon me* kind of surprise. That way there's no time to be nervous, silly, or just plain shocked. Besides, it'd be worth the bruise. LOL

Tell us if you meet Tom Welling on your vacation. ;)

Tell us if you meet Tom Welling on your vacation.Hah! Yeah right. No sweat. LOL But I wouldn't have to "tell" you. I'd have those pics up on the I-Net faster than a speeding bullet. ;)

I almost planned a Fog gathering at my house for the preem weekend. A little too much crap going on in my life to follow through though. :(

Now I have to try to plan out who I'm going to see it with. I'm not sure I can talk my movie-going buddy into seeing it multiple times with me.

[AgentPat]

Next year works for me...I talked with hubby about this tonight. Well, I left off the part about why the hotel was um... interesting LOL. He's going back there to work at the end of Sept. There's a LOT of celebs that live on the Island. A few that he rattled off that I remember are Michael J. Fox, Carly Simon, James Taylor and Kate Jackson. Hubby was responsible for cutting the power to Taylor's house, as well as the KENNEDY complex (LMFAO). It's a big Island, but it's "small" when it comes to celebs. Hubby says the hotel in question is right across from Chappaquiddick Island and there's even a few "Jaws" exhibits there. (Yes, that film still holds a special place in the hearts of Islanders.) Anyhoo, we CAN do this, but I'm thinking that any vacation plans on Martha's Vineyard will need to be made FAR in advance. It's a VERY popular vacation destination.

[jas01724]

http://community.webshots.com/guestbook?albumID=363444188Well I saw that, but that's a guestbook. :p You said her email addy was on there. I wouldn't ask her a question like that in a public guestbook ... others might, but I wouldn't.

I've got a question about the picture of Tom in MV. Is that girl as tall as he is? Or is she standing on something?

[triplet]

She's standing on what looks like a deck... You can't tell in one of the photos, but in the other one with Jaimie in it you can.

[avidreader]

I didnt realise that was Jamie in that picture.

Okay, confession time...

You know you're a TW fan when you're actually considering buying this...

"There's so many cameos, you'll be doing constant double takes. You'll spot Tom Welling just weeks before landing the role of Clark Kent in 'Smallville'."

I knew about the cameo - I've seen the video caps (if he's on screen for more than two minutes it's probably a lot), but I had no idea this axed show was actually available on DVD.

Review here:

[jas01724]

Somebody mentioned that on their website when the DVD was released last tuesday. :p

(And Tom's on screen for about nine seconds. Seriously, NINE. SECONDS. But I'm just crazy enough that if I had a multi-regional player I might actually buy it.)

[AgentPat]

(And Tom's on screen for about nine seconds. Seriously, NINE. SECONDS. But I'm just crazy enough that if I had a multi-regional player I might actually buy it.)I've seen the beach caps; for a cameo that only lasts 9 seconds, they get down to business awfully fast (not that I blame her). Can you elaborate on his character a bit? Is there anything to elaborate on? LOL

Is there anything to elaborate on? LOLErrrr... you're thinking of the beach nookie from a show called Special Unit 2, and he is on that for about 2 minutes. He's just some unnamed college guy who wants to get some with his girlfriend, only she doesn't want to do it out in the open on a beach - because something bad might happen. And then a Merman breaks Tom's neck and kidnaps her. Nah, nothing bad happens... :D

This DVD set is Undeclared, and he's just some frat guy who gets asked if he wants to attend a party. He's in it for nine seconds. ;)

I really loved that show when it was on and very sad when it got canceled, I'd get the dvd set anyway (I've been waiting ages for it). Tom is in the pilot ep, and I remember watching it at the time..who knew I'd be obsessed with a guy I barely noticed soon after, lol.

Some people just like the smallville mythology alot, and think its a fresh approach, however one can enjoy both the new movie and smallville.

James already posted this information 8/18 on TW.org (www.tomwelling.org) , but I scanned in the pics and thought I'd share them here.

To refresh memories.. these are from this month's InStyle magazine, it's their Heat Index poll that over 12,000 people voted in.

I just know that when Trip get's back, she's going to yell at me for the crappy scans. I'm not the expert scanner she is. ;)
