The Official Tom Welling Thread

[triplet]

Omg.. I can't believe you posted that. The Pieta is my favorite work of art ever. It's one of my lifelong dreams to go see it one day. I'm not a religious person in any sense, but that sculpture is simply perfection.

I love that too, I think that is probably my favorite sculpture after his David....

[rumpuso]

Oh Pat! Oh Pat! There are no words...but YES, blue is a wonderful "color".

The following is from DTS's (http://www.devotedtosmallville.com/)home page this morning:

"Kristin Kreuk is ranked number 18 in AskMen’s Top 99 Most Desirable Women for 2005. The annual list is based on votes cast by AskMen readers and staff and has been viewed by more than 15 million readers since its launch in 2001.

WHY SHE IS FAMOUS:
She steals the spotlight from teen heartthrob Tom Welling (man, do we ever hate that guy) weekly in Smallville."

That is only a partial excerpt but seriously, I've NEVER thought Kristin has stolen the spotlight from Tom Welling. I will absolutely agree with her being a beautiful woman, but stealing the spotlight?? Who wrote that!

You're right, he probably was! :DIt's kinda driven home by that skin-tight T-shirt, eh? LOL

You know, that second photo makes me think of Michelangelo's Pieta sculpture at St. Peter's.Indeed, now that you mention it, it does.

That said, Zing is aptly named because he was the uncontested King of Zing over in the Supes' forums when male posters would get on Welling's nuts for his appearance. Oh, some of those posts were absolutely hysterical. LMFAO!!!

I'd love to see Michelangelo's and Da Vinci's and the other Masters works in person. Go to Rome and Venice, and maybe down to Pompeii.

You can avoid Pompei and go to Florence instead to see the David(s). And many other wonderful things.

Well, I'd still like to go to Pompeii because of the historical and archealogical stuff down there, but Florence too would be great, of course. I'd love to see David.

Do you think that Florence is a great place to visit? What else is there besides the art works?

The Florentine steak? What are you looking for? The landscape in Tuscany are wonderful as you can see from that crappy movie with Diane Lane. Florence, Lucca, Pisa (with its famous tower) are full of castles, churches and palaces that date back to the middle ages, especially the Reinassance years (late 1400 - mid 1500). And if you like Sting, he has a big mansion in the countryside in Tuscany now.

I don't like Sting, but old castles, palaces and a beautiful countryside always sound good. I love visiting places like that... Prolly has really good food and great wine, too. That's always a bonus. ;)

Doesn't George Clooney have a house in Tuscany?

I thought I'd read he'd hang out there with his buddies while making Oceans 12, which (from what I heard) is a very crappy movie...

[Antonello Blueberry]

Three houses? That's a bit over the top, init? Unless they're small, I guess, and he uses them as guest houses...

No, they are big and he uses two of them as guest houses for all his friends.

Some interesting bits from Variety:
Smallville

By ADDIE MORFOOT, Thurs., Jan. 20, 2005, 10:00pm PT



Not even ABC's "Lost," the new skein that had proved to be kryptonite against other series, can slow down "Smallville."

Ratings for the Clark Kent-turned-Superman show has maintained its lofty ratings in this season's Wednesday night battle, up against the J.J. Abrams "Survivor"-like drama.

"Smallville" creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar say the series has been a great fit for the Frog since launching in 2001.

"It was a coming-of-age story but it just happened to be about a superhero," Gough explains. "So you had the action-adventure element as well as the family element."

However, getting a 13-episode commitment took some convincing.

"I think initially there was some skepticism when they first heard the idea: Superman's high school years. They wanted to know how that would play out and what the execution should be," Gough says.

"What interested us and the network was how somebody becomes a hero and, conversely with Lex Luthor, how does somebody become a villain that didn't start out bad? It's interesting in how you can make that journey."

Oddly enough, many "Smallville" fans aren't all that aware of either the Christopher Reeve films or the George Reeves series (1952-57).

"We never got notes (from the network) saying, 'This is going to be boring because everybody already knows Clark Kent.' What we found is that most of the audience that watch the WB were not familiar with Superman at all," Gough recalls.

"We did a pilot test and in the middle there was a glitch in the tape and the boys had to tell the girls they were watching Superman. The girls had no idea."

[rumpuso]

Lokomon, I copy and pasted this story over at KSite. There hasn't been an awful lot of responses, however one poster wrote the following:

"In the Starlog mag Each month, they do a brief preview of what's upcoming for sci-fi series currently on the air and in the March issue for Smallville, it simply says "Smallville. 8 PM Wednesday. WB. In ratings decline."

It is contradictory information like this that always keeps me in a state of confusion as to whether or not Smallville is or is not doing well in the ratings. Does anyone have any information to share regarding these 2 completely different sources of information?

Nothing yet... maybe this weekend.

EDIT: they've totally discounted that variety report... They've got such a skewed viewpoint, Smallville is going down in flames since Clana is over, it's hardly worth having a discussion over there.

[RakuMon]

I tend to trust Variety more than Starlog for the simple fact that V is an industry rag that is published daily. Like Pat said, industry heads don't pay as much attention to total numbers like fans do. Comparatively, SV is still a successful show. It'll never out do juggernauts like American Idol or Lost simply because FOX and ABC are major networks, whereas WB is a smaller network with less overall viewers and less affiliates nationwide. That being said, Unsafe actually BEAT OUT NBC's SI Swimsuit Model show in the much-coveted 18 to 49 demo. That is a big deal! Don't worry. Even if "total viewers" decline, it actually doesn't mean SV is doing worse. It's all relative. And I'll say again, the way networks calculate and measure ratings is an inexact science.

[jas01724]

Contrary to the doom and gloom mongers, its ratings are very much on a par with last season. Last season it was #1 in many of the demos, this year it's second only to Lost in a number of them. Last year it got between 6.5 million and 4.5 million viewers per episode, this year ditto.

It can't be repeated often enough that it used to get between 6 and 8 million IN A DIFFERENT TIMESLOT. Since moving it has held steady with what it has now, and, oddly enough, WB are happy with that because it still has around a quarter more viewers than Dawson's Creek had it this timeslot.

[AgentPat]

Contrary to the doom and gloom mongers, its ratings are very much on a par with last season...Here here! I just posted over yonder. They really ARE a doom and gloom bunch, aren't they? WTF? The only "happy" threads over there that I know about are in the TW forums. LOL Guess I'll stick to reading those. Honestly, reading so many argumentative type posts really gets annoying. It's why I stopped reading various Superman boards. Even K-Site's went totally south recently. It's freakin' depressing as all get out.

I'm glad the folks here still LIKE watching SV. Honestly, I love it. There's a few things that bug me from time to time (and I'll resist the urge to *cough*say what those things are*cough), but I really do love the show, and it's frustrating having to defend it all the time. It's just entertainment. Those folks who can't handle this or that - just LEAVE already. Stop watching it. Maybe LOST or AMERICAN IDOL will be more entertaining. But I really wish folks would stop complaining about what they *choose* to watch. It's not like they're being forced in front of a TV set every week - or compelled to purchase a theater ticket *ahem*.

Sometimes I think that this is the last board/forum/site out there where the majority of people still do like the show. Must be why I keep coming back. I don't think any of us considers it a perfect show, or every ep a winner, but we're still *fans*.

There's a few things that bug me from time to time (and I'll resist the urge to *cough*say what those things are*cough),
But see..you should say what they are! One of the things I like best about this little corner of the world is that we can disagree about the things we like and dislike without being total jerks about it. At least, most of us can. I really do get a kick out of how we all see and react to the same show. I may not always agree with the viewpoints of others, but I like hearing them.. occasionally I do find myself swayed by a line of reasoning I hadn't previously considered. I'd *hate* for this to become a board where everyone feels they have to agree on every point. I don't think we're in danger of that yet. ;)

[Serene]

Superboy. Yeah, THAT Superboy. :rolleyes: I couldn't stand it anymore; I just HAD to say something. LOL And ironically, it was over in the Supes' forums.

But see..you should say what they are!Oh, I DO! I just didn't want to complain in a post where I was complaining about other people complaining. J'know? LOL

Good onya, Serene. Excellent post.

I find I like the atmosphere much better here, aside from the occasional troll that loves to come over here and bash the very talented and very gorgeous Tom Welling and that little show he's on.

You know the one, right? ;)

[jas01724]

Uh huh. So um... what's he got going on "back" here...Victoria Sponge.

[AgentPat]

Victoria Sponge.Heh! Considering I'm a huge fan of Victoria Secret's, I'll take that sponge anyday.

Oh hell, who needs to be a fan of the clothing line to enjoy THAT?




It's Sarah Carter, right? Wonder how often she gets asked about "working" on this show? *ahem*

[AgentPat]

I find I like the atmosphere much better hereYeah, same here. It's amazing too since SHH has a rep for not being the most hospitable of message boards.

aside from the occasional troll that loves to come over here and bash...I'm just glad they only come in waves. For the most part, it's pretty friendly in this forum.

[jas01724]

Oh hell, who needs to be a fan of the clothing line to enjoy THAT?Exactly. And I think his hair is really liquorice laces.

(This is fun.)

It's Sarah Carter, right? Wonder how often she gets asked about "working" on this show? *ahem*I'll ask her if I can play Alicia next time...

I'm sure the conditions on set were anything but what they appeared in the final cut - those two *were* working after all - but it sure does look like they had a freakin' ball. And I wouldn't mind the opportunity to run my hands up his back...




Or front. LOL

Yes, gutter, here we come... hahahahahaha.



Speaking of which.. I hope Ardrhielle comes back around soon. I'll have to dredge up the Talon thread and page her..that's the last place I saw her post (:()Actually, now that you mention it, I haven't seen her in moons. What's up with Ardy?

[jas01724]

I believe I complained about her job vs. mine in the "Unsafe" thread yesterday. Technically I think that counts.Doesn't, you didn't say you'd be asking her to let you have her job. :p And don't give me the spiel about gentlemen letting women go first - I'm not a gentleman.

Although... yeah, I'll be Lois. I get to marry him for real. ;)

[jas01724]

Wait, that sounds like a euphemism.

[AgentPat]

You want to run your hands over his tofu?Not just hands, dude. :cool:

Wait, that sounds like a euphemism.Why whatever do you mean? :p






Okay folks, put the kiddies to bed. No more looking over mommy and daddy's shoulders tonight.

[triplet]

Yeah, same here. It's amazing too since SHH has a rep for not being the most hospitable of message boards.

Yeah, I had gotten that too but over there they're so passive agressive... the mods ruthlessly edit your posts if you "spam" (I'm sorry, multiple posts in a row isn't spamming, pushing your own web site is.) and then if you complain they delete the posts altogether..

I even had a bit of a heated exchange with one mod and she never replied to my challenge to her snarky, knee jerk reaction to my complaint. I was confused on why she reacted that way, as if I was always complaining, and then when I called her on it I haven't heard boo from her since.

Anyway, Scarlett asked earlier today about where I review and sent her the link, but I'm not sure she's going to like what I had to say about Unsafe.

Probably will get a ton of snarky replies to my posts from now on the TW forum.... ;)


I'm just glad they only come in waves. For the most part, it's pretty friendly in this forum.

True.

It's been pretty friendly over here now that Spiderfreddie isn't riling up the already restless natives over on the Supes forum...

Since his latest banning, I've realized these waves tend to coincide with his reappearances and bannings. I dont think it's a coincidence, do you?

Anyone else notice that?

[Serene]

Doesn't, you didn't say you'd be asking her to let you have her job. :p

The uh.. sentiment was there. I'm just very subtle.
And don't give me the spiel about gentlemen letting women go first - I'm not a gentleman.

Ooh, I wouldn't dream of it.

Although... yeah, I'll be Lois. I get to marry him for real. ;)

Settled then.
Did I mention that by the time he's ready to marry Lois, the role of Superman will be played by HWSNBN?

Oh Jaaaaames? ;)

Wow, guys, I had no idea. Sorry to hear all that about Spiderfreddie. Y'all sure it's the same person? That really sux. :mad:

Yeah, I had pushed him away with "That's nice, dude. But I'm married." but I don't think he believed me. Whenever he comes back with another handle he posts something like "How's your husband?"

Creepy is the word.


I'm glad the boards are back up. I had withdrawal last night. Went over to Blue Tights and started a war. LOL!

J/K.

For those who haven't seen this cap yet...

http://www.patcostello.com/temp/unsafe2.jpg

The "war" in question was whether or not those are real tears. :rolleyes:
Gosh, whatever. Welling did a remarkable job; it was a sad scene and I felt bad for Clark.
I would venture a guess that was what he was shooting for, and he nailed it for this fan.

They were real and he totally nailed that scene.

You ever read my review? I talked about that scene a bit...

I hope he's got something lined up for his hiatus.

[Lara]

I'm sure they were real besides if he wanted to go the fake route we would have seen it before like when Ryan died and Pete left.He didn't NEED to cry there. Honestly I was glad to see his back I've been wondering how often we've only seen his double's back. Nice to know Tom IS that muscular.

You ever read my review?I did, I did! Great review. Definitely better than... is it Neal @ SHP? Well, you guys know who I mean. That reviewer needs to take a chill pill. I think he's lost it LOL.

Hey, speaking of reviews, K-Site has one up now about Unsafe and it's a beaute. I personally really enjoyed the episode (big surprise there), and K-Site's reviewer just echoed much of my opinion. Was a great read. I freakin' laughed out loud when I got to this part:...back to the leopard wedding suite. Despite myself, I actually found this scene slightly boring. All the foreplay was funny and cute, but looked extremely fake and staged, and Alicia had like, 3 things to be able to tear off without being naked. I was actually more concerned about Alicia's torn, likely expensive wedding dress than anything else... except, maybe, that hip thing Welling did. Did you hear that sound? That was a million fangirls falling over dead...
HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! Yup!!! :D

[Thunder Emperor]

Does anyone else think that Tom's getting frickin' HUGE lately? I mean even more than the usual, big and buff Clark.

I wonder if he's prepping for something?


the role of superman. and here is why


TW says he has a new movie, he can't say way.

then HWSNHM was cast as clark/superman (or so we think)

TW says nothing about the casting till date.

smallville producers and singer meet.hmmmm

TW still gettign buffy.

Sv season 5 a possiblety.

conclusion. HWSNBm was cast as young clark in the singerman movie and TW is the really man of steel.

[jas01724]

How rumors get started.

Oh Jaaaaames? ;)I missed this. *waves*

You put weight on when you can't exercise as much. That's why Tom's bigger but a little chunky. :p Backache, y'know...

[RakuMon]

Way cool. 'Bout time they start print ads, no time like the Feb sweeps to start I guess.HAH! Good call!

Although, you gotta wonder how accurate that is... are they actually going to show any football? Would they practice with a recruit this time of year?Depends upon the time of the year in the show. Has it even been referenced? All we know is that Clark is in his senior year right now.

...which kind of begs another question. If Clark is 17, how is it that Lana is already 18? I suppose it's possible, but I always thought of Clark as being slightly older. Could just be a subconscious thing however 'cause Welling IS older than his on-screen school mates.

Uh, yeah.. that pretty much nails it. ;)
The "hip thing" about did me in.I'm surprised they let that slide, especially since Alicia promptly climbed on board right afterwards. It WAS quite provocative for a "family" show - but I'm NOT complaining LOL.

hey pat we have this superbowl covered here in Boston. woooohooo :DShhh! Bite your tongue! Don't jinx us. :mad: Rams' fans thought they had it in the bag four years ago too. And they had a two TD spread! The Pats are lucky to get 6 pts. So shush! :D

I wonder if he's prepping for something?the role of superman. and here is why... HWSNBN was cast as young Clark in the singerman movie and TW is the really man of steel.You put weight on when you can't exercise as much.LOL@all of the theories. Clearly, Welling IS bigger this year - and it IS mostly muscle. Come ON! Look at him!

http://www.patcostello.com/temp/spell2.jpg

http://www.patcostello.com/temp/unsafe1.jpg

But as James has pointed out time and time again, that fact in and of itself is not unusual. Welling has put on muscle mass *every* season. Considering the character he's playing, it makes sense. And who knows? It might actually be in his contract as a requirement. That said, it IS fun to speculate, so here's my two cents...

Q: What would Singer and Co. do if something prevented HWSNBN from being in the film?
A: They'd have to get somebody else, and QUICK.
Q. Who else did Singer technically sign for the role?
A. Duh!
Q. Wouldn't any such contracts still be valid, at least until principle started?
A. Makes sense to me.
Q. Would that include physical preparation?
A. Makes sense to me.
Q. With all of the pissing and moaning coming from various SV fishbowls across the net, why wouldn't TPTB put a kibosh on all the negativity by just saying Welling turned down the role?
A. Uh, because he didn't?
Q. With production on SV's 4th season due to conclude in ten weeks, wouldn't we have heard by now what film Welling was signed to that he referenced at the TCAs - last AUGUST?
A. If it was Superman, he probably still wouldn't be allowed to discuss it until after they start. If he has another film in mind for this summer, wanna bet we won't know what it is officially until *after* March 3rd?

Okay, that was three cents. But it was fun throwing that schitt out there. Lets see what sticks. ;)

[Lara]

Omar's recap on TWop is up it's funny as always.

[jas01724]

Oooh, this discussion again...

LOL@all of the theories.Who said mine was a theory? ;)

Clearly, Welling IS bigger this year - and it IS mostly muscle. Come ON! Look at him!Eh. He is bigger - but he's not that much bigger. He's really not. As ever dependant on the camera angle, he was almost the same 18 months ago. The main difference this year is in the midriff, and also that they're showing his chest off even more than usual... what is it, episodes, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 11... and counting.

Look at CbtD from May 2003. Is he bigger now? Sure. Is he HUGELY bigger? Not so much...

http://www.boomspeed.com/jamesascott/back.jpg

In his case you just need to find the right camera angle to accentuate his size, et voila, he could almost be two different people. He's your veritable Clark Kent.

Q. With production on SV's 4th season due to conclude in ten weeks, wouldn't we have heard by now what film Welling was signed to that he referenced at the TCAs - last AUGUST?
A. If it was Superman, he probably still wouldn't be allowed to discuss it until after they start. If he has another film in mind for this summer, wanna bet we won't know what it is officially until *after* March 3rd?Oh dear, I guess I shouldn't point out that CbtD wasn't announced until mid march? Don't count on hearing about things early.

they're showing his chest off even more than usual... what is it, episodes, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 11... and counting.Hee! Good to know I'm not the only one keeping track. And it's nice to see they're showing off what they should have been doing since day one. :rolleyes:

Oh dear, I guess I shouldn't point out that CbtD wasn't announced until mid march? Don't count on hearing about things early.You mean like publicly talking about signing film contracts seven months before they're formally announced? LOL I'd stick out my tongue again, but I've already used it twice and don't want to overdo it. ;)

Oh James, I KNOW there's tons of mitigating factors that goes on with these sorts of things. Sometimes the actors in question can discuss 'em, and sometimes they can't. Reasons can vary. I'll say this much though - I'd be EXTREMELY surprised to read a formal (Variety, Hollywood Reporter, etc.) report of Welling's next project (to be shot during the SV hiatus during the summer) *before* March 3rd. Call it an educated hunch if "theory" is too strong.

[jas01724]

Did you ever say it wasn't?I like to keep my thoughts in the Phantom Zone. :p

This coming from the person who goes on to discuss the importance of camera angles. :pPrecisely my point. ;) I could cap a shot from Unsafe where he looks almost as thin as a rake. Entirety of point? Find shots from a similar angle with similar lens doohickies and he hasn't changed as much as it seems.

For a start they seem to be doing a lot of lower angles up onto his chest lately; it foreshortens the length of his torso, and broadens and deepens his chest.

You mean like publicly talking about signing film contracts seven months before they're formally announced?He knew about CbtD months before. Seven months, perhaps not, but at least four or five. You can (theoretically) talk about anything you like, as often and early as you like, when you're not saying what the thing actually is. Circumstances dictate what happens and when, as much as anything. TCA's last august? Circumstance threw a curve ball and Tom wasn't supposed to open his mouth.

I'll say this much though - I'd be EXTREMELY surprised to read a formal (Variety, Hollywood Reporter, etc.) report of Welling's next project (to be shot during the SV hiatus during the summer) *before* March 3rd. Call it an educated hunch if "theory" is too strong.I agree, but I'd have the same sentiment with or without any other mitigating factors. That there could be other reasons for the delay is irrelevant to my stance that it would happen much the same way regardless. But then you knew that. :p

[AgentPat]

BTW... just to be clear, I am in no way suggesting that there's gonna be some miraculous switch at the eleventh hour. HWSNBN has been cast in Singerman and from what I can tell, everything appears to be plodding along towards that end. I would imagine Welling has *something* lined up for the summer. Probably won't be the lead in anything major (I don't think he would have the time for that), and then he and the rest of the cast will be back to start shooting SV's 5th season. That's what my crystal ball is telling me right now.

That said, 175 million dollar tentpole films have to have Plan B's, just in case the sheit hits the fan unexpectedly. And those sorts of Plan B's are rarely discussed publicly unless they need to be. That's all I'm saying.

[Serene]

So, Jason... if you do hear of Tom's next project, are you going to share the news with us, or will you make us wait to read it in the trades, or worse, hear it elsewhere?

He's gotten so good at acting, he needs something that will let him shine.TV actors get knocked a lot, and Tom's no different. But the fact of the matter is, if you do *anything* for 16 hours per day, nine-ten months per year, and you do it for four years +, you're bound to get re-heeeely good at it. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING can beat on-the-job-training. Welling has many advantages that a lot of actors can only dream about having.

Yeah, but you gotta be willing to learn and I think some actors get so cocky (I've known a few in my younger days that would totally fit that bill) that they don't think they need to learn anything new.

Tom is humble enough and open to keep on learning, that's why he's improving. If he were any other man, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Well, if he were any other man I probably wouldn't be here so, you know... ;)

Anyway, I really think Tom is unique in that regard. How many other actors just starting out get the kind of kudos he gets from his fellow actors?

He's charming, smart, talented, drop dead gorgeous, dearly loves his wife, a really nice guy and humble enough to understand that more experienced actors might just be able to show him a thing or two even four years on....

He's one in a million. No two ways about it. :D

I don't have the patience for that crap anymore. If they come here and peddle it, I'm game, but I won't wander into unpleasant neighborhoods if I don't have to.:up:

I'm of like opinion, though I do occasionally cruise over yonder to see what's new. If a thread title looks interesting, I'll venture in. Don't know why though 'cause I usually end up frustrated, disappointed, or just downright confused. We're told to sit and be patient and not make rash judgments until the film comes out because nobody knows anything about the plot or script, yada yada. Yet those same people are making definitive statements about characters and other script-related info (no Otis, no Tesmacher, etc. etc.)

Didn't one of the recently cast actors say he was only allowed to read his character's sides with two armed guards watching over him to avoid script leaks? http://www.patcostello.com/smileys/rolleyes.gif

Gah! Yes, I digress. And I'm horribly off topic. The film is soooo far away anyway. I'd MUCH rather discuss SV at this point. At least we can look forward to a new episode of that. Tonight! :D

Sorry to bring all this forward from pages ago, but...


But as James has pointed out time and time again, that fact in and of itself is not unusual. Welling has put on muscle mass *every* season. Considering the character he's playing, it makes sense. And who knows? It might actually be in his contract as a requirement. That said, it IS fun to speculate, so here's my two cents...

Q: What would Singer and Co. do if something prevented HWSNBN from being in the film?
A: They'd have to get somebody else, and QUICK.
Q. Who else did Singer technically sign for the role?
A. Duh!
Q. Wouldn't any such contracts still be valid, at least until principle started?
A. Makes sense to me.
Q. Would that include physical preparation?
A. Makes sense to me.
Q. With all of the pissing and moaning coming from various SV fishbowls across the net, why wouldn't TPTB put a kibosh on all the negativity by just saying Welling turned down the role?
A. Uh, because he didn't?
Q. With production on SV's 4th season due to conclude in ten weeks, wouldn't we have heard by now what film Welling was signed to that he referenced at the TCAs - last AUGUST?
A. If it was Superman, he probably still wouldn't be allowed to discuss it until after they start. If he has another film in mind for this summer, wanna bet we won't know what it is officially until *after* March 3rd?

Okay, that was three cents. But it was fun throwing that schitt out there. Lets see what sticks. ;)

Well Pat, if I suddenly had the urge to throw some pizza against my wall, and the toppings were made up of the contents above... I think it would stick pretty darn well...

But -- even if I didn't have this inclination right now, I can tell you that with regards to the toppings being discussed, the possibilities and timetables for new kinds of pizzas are endless...

[AgentPat]

Sorry to bring all this forward from pages ago, but...You go right ahead, Jack. THIS topic will always be in the back of people's heads, be they SV fans or Superman fans. Welling is playing a very specific character that for the most part, has a future that *everybody* knows about. HE made us believe again. There are a LOT of fans out here in the fish bowls who still hope to see that future - with HIM in it - not some interloper.

Well Pat, if I suddenly had the urge to throw some pizza against my wall, and the toppings were made up of the contents above... I think it would stick pretty darn well...Heh. And we have a new metaphor. Cheese, ice cream, and now PIZZA! Well, for what it's worth, I LOVE pizza! And the more toppings, the better.

But -- even if I didn't have this inclination right now, I can tell you that with regards to the toppings being discussed, the possibilities and timetables for new kinds of pizzas are endless...It warms my heart, not to mention makes me salivate. LOL

You are not alone in still preferring the 'established' flat crust, that's all I can say.Indeed! Always good to get that kind of reality confirmation from the fishery. Being kept in the bowl all the time can make you jaded. ;)

[RakuMon]

For all the people who claim Smallville is a "bastardization" of the Superman legend, I invite them to read Superman: Secret Identity by Kurt Busiek and Stuart Immonen. It's a complete reinterpretation with no ties to comic book continuity. For instance, the story is set outside the DCU and instead takes place in the "real world." The premise is that Clark Kent is a young man who grows up in a small Kansas town. Everyone makes fun of his name. Even his parents bake hime Superman cakes every year for his birthday. But then one day he wakes up with all of Supes' abilities: heat vision, super-strength, flight, etc.

If you go by the most ardent SV-hater's logic, anything that contradicts John Byrne canon (or Richard Donner canon for that matter), it is a "bastardization." Then Secret Identity is truly a corrupted work. Unfortunately, it's one of the best Superman stories I've ever read. Hands down. So why am I posting this in the official TW thread? Well, I was thinking. If WB wanted a fresh, original take on the character for a film, (and if Singerman fails to meet expectations) I think SI would be an awesome movie. It's definitely an original interpretation, yet it truly captures the essence of Superman. Plus, if TW was cast, then it'd be the best of both worlds because a.) he'd be playing "Superman" without the purists worrying about mucking up canon; b.) there would be no connection to SV (because of the meta-storytelling involved, TW could play himself who one day wakes up with all of Superman's abilities); and c.) it could be a powerful, lyrical film. Granted, I still believe Birthright is the PERFECT Superman vehicle for TW if you wanted a traditional Superman story. But for something a little different, Secret Identity could be a wonderful movie.

If you've read it, tell me the scene where Clark reveals his secret to Lois isn't one of the best conceived ways to tell that classic moment.

[AgentPat]

You guys kill me with all of the fatal error pop ups! http://www.patcostello.com/smileys/thumbsup.gif

Hey, on a semi-related but rhetorical note, I wonder if those in positions of casting have taken into consideration the cross-gender appeal that Welling has managed to garner? Apparently, certain assumptions were made when G&M cast a former male model as the lead for SV. Yet TPTB were more surprised by the show's larger male viewership, which makes me wonder what their original target audience was. And did that revelation contribute to the change in casting opinions espoused by some of Warner's upper echelon over the past few years in regards to the Superman film?

By extension, I wonder if they're still looking at those aspects and using it as additional support for Welling's future casting consideration? Put simply, they've got an actor who has an atypically broad appeal that crosses all sorts of gender, ethnic and racial lines. Are they smart enough to capitalize on that?

Honestly, the scene in which Clark reveals his secret to Lois [Chaudari] is best experienced through Immonen's art and Busiek's dialogue. But essentially, it happens like this:

Clark, who is a writer living in NYC, has been using his powers and an old Superman Halloween costume to help the citizens of the city in secret. Unbeknownst to him, he's being tracked by shady government operatives. Those operatives bait and capture Clark. After he escapes, he wonders if it's safe to reveal his secret to anyone, namely Lois with whom he recently started a serious relationship. BTW, the two of them were setup on a joke of a blind date. It seems that Lois is always being set up with "Clark"s and Clark is frequently set up with Lanas and Loises. Anyway, the scene in question is when Clark decides it's time to tell Lois who he really is. The two of them retreat to the top of her apartment building for a picnic. He tells her to start unbuttoning his shirt. She does and sees a Superman t-shirt underneath. Thinking Clark is pulling a name-based joke, he tells her to "look down." When she does, they are floating above the city. After accepting who he is, they fly down to the Outer Banks of North Carolina in one of the most romantic Clark & Lois scenes in Superman history.

Time Warner beats view, confirms Adelphia bid

DVDs soften blow for film division

Operating earnings at Time Warner's filmed entertainment division fell 36 percent to $201 million from $313 million. Revenue declined just 3 percent to $3.27 billion, well ahead of the $2.675 billion estimate of analyst Laura Martin at Soleil-Media Metrics, as well as the $3.21 billion projection issued by Peter Mirsky at Oppenheimer & Co.

Time Warner went into the fourth quarter facing difficult theatrical comparisons with the prior year's "The Lord of the Rings: Return of The King" and "Elf." Matters weren't helped by the poor box office showings of "Catwoman" and "Alexander" in this year's December period.

But strong DVD sales played a major role in the unit's results. "DVD has been the largest single contributor to our film segment's growth," said Jeff Bewkes, chairman of the company's Entertainment & Networks Group, on the earnings call.

Bewkes said Warner Home Video is particularly strong in DVD's fastest-growing category - full season box sets of television shows. "We're the U.S. leader in TV sales on DVD. We have 10 of the top 25 franchises," Bewkes said, pointing to the best-selling titles "Friends," "Sex In the City," "Band of Brothers," "The Sopranos," "Smallville," and "Aqua Team Hunger Force."

Warner Bros. DVD revenue related to TV shows will exceed $1 billion in 2005. Studio programs new to the format this year include "Night Court" and "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air."

Cable-operations profit rose 32 percent to $497 million from $377 million. Revenue rose 10 percent to $2.2 billion, in line with the estimates of Cohen and Mirsky.

Exactly. That's why I'm not sure so many people on DTS (and over on the Supes forum here) seem convinced that simply because the ratings are lower, that it necessarily follows it will get canceled.

There are so many more factors to consider than that, the DVD box set sales being one. Overseas sales being another.

Well even if Smallville only accounted for say 5% of those sales (that's 50 million), that's is still more then a lot of TV shows get in syndication deals, and those deals are almost always multi-year deals.

And consider this...Smallville is pretty much being purchased as the DVD becomes available from the previous season. Stop the show, and you'll stop the influx of DVD cash from it.

It's going to be very hard for WB to financially justify cancelling that show even after 5-6-7 years if it is able to make that much cash from DVD sales alone. You could conceivably offer Welling Ray Romano type of cash per ep and still make a big profit yearly off all things Smallville.

[Serene]

And consider this...Smallville is pretty much being purchased as the DVD becomes available from the previous season. Stop the show, and you'll stop the influx of DVD cash from it..

Let's not forget the added DVD sales from new fans who are now watching it on ABC Family. I know of two people that I work with who never watched it until they started showing the reruns. They've since bought the earlier seasons DVDs.

[RakuMon]

That's the other thing. Ratings aren't really that much lower. Smallville's never gonna get the numbers it got when it was on Tuesday nights at 9:00 in its first season. The REASON WB moved it to Wednesdays at 8:00 was because they knew it would hold its own and perform better than what they had (i.e. Dawson's Creek). And Smallville has. Also, don't forget that 8PM Wednesday is THE most competitive night of the week. What with American Idol, Lost, and 60 Minutes, it's a wonder SV doesn't get trounced. But guess what, it actually does REALLY WELL. Even beating NBC in overall viewers and trumping both NBC and CBS in the 18 to 49 demos. All that while being on a network that reaches FEWER overall households.

That my friend is a successful show.

On a related note, compare Smallville to Enterprise. Both shows are new incarnations of established, iconic properties. They debuted the same year. Both are FX-heavy, sci-fi oriented programming, and both have had their timeslots changed. And both are on smaller networks (WB and UPN, respectively). Moreover, both shows have essentially divided their respective fanbases. Unfortunately for fans of Enterprise, it never drew a big enough audience to justify the series, ultimately leading to its cancellation. Smallville, on the other hand, has flourished despite being under similar circumstances.

The tv is biz is all relative. But by all accounts, Smallville is a successful television program that rakes in lots of $$ to WB (network AND studio). Incidentally, after all the smoke clears, it could be debatable that SV was a better investment than the Singerman franchise. I think, in the long run, WB will get more ROI from Smallville than they'll get from Singerman (unless, of course, the merchandising makes a lot of coin).

[jas01724]

Eh, I'm stating the obvious (again) but its success was never a reason for its possible (probable) cancellation. With most of those things now currently moot, don't expect it to be going anywhere anytime soon. It makes around 3 million per ep in ad rates, millions with DVDs, pretty soon it will probably make millions in syndication, and it went from 8 million viewers in a slot with little competition to 5-6 million in a slot with two juggernauts slamming against it ... yeah, that show's a complete flop.

Smallville
Aside from the fact that Lois reminds me way too much of Julie Cooper on The O.C., I am right there with this show. It's so clever without being smart-alecky. Chloe blames Lana's attack on Alicia's "meteor-induced powers" and nobody bats an eye! And Jane Seymour as the baddie is terrific with a capital English Breakfast T. Even if her Mommy Dearest act with Jason gives me the bad-touch willies, I dig that there's someone else stirring up Metropolis other than Lionel, you know? It's just too bad about the time slot. This one deserves a bigger audience. And we deserve to have better dramas on the other nights of the week.

Are you sure that one doesn't belong in the drooling thread, Pat????? Yum.Oh, we could put it there too, I suppose. ;)

That one is *fairly* inspiring, I must say.Init?! The potential for soooo many great characters is nestled between those prominent cheek bones, lemme tell ya! :D

Snarky comments? I live for your snarky comments, Pat ;) . I hope you keep inspiring us. Makes my day!Hehehehe! Thanks for the praise. I do my best, but it's not hard considering all of the material we have to work with here. Triplet wrote quite an impressive list yesterday in the "beating dead horses" thread. My feelings on the big picture are driven home every time I read a post like that or see a photo like the one above, so I commiserate with folks. And being snarky is the only way to get some satisfaction out of a really schitty situation sometimes.

Hey look! It's Jay Leno!

Oh... wait, Leno doesn't have brown eyes. Shucks.

Thanks, but funny no one seemed to reply to that. I thought I had either gone so far overboard people didn't know what to say or that I had so totally sold my point that no one had a come back...

I guess it's the latter! ;)

That's exactly the retort you should have used when that guy over in the TWSHBS thread, said "Roth was cast because he looks so much like Chris Reeve."

The way things are shaping up, they could have cast Jay...heck, the jawline could be computer de-enhanced.

I'll happily take my extra season of Smallville thanks (with an extra helping of Tom, please)!

I've also noticed that the metaphors have unofficially moved away from dairy products....interesting. And I can't help but notice how Jack consistently makes an appearance when we start to talk about food... :)

You guys are so entertaining! No wonder I think it's so fun to lurk.

I still think it would be a nifty thing to see Tom in some sort of period movie...that's just me.

I was thinking the other day of how as much as I think he'd be charming in a rom-com, I hope he doesn't go the route of doing a series of lightweight romance flicks. Don't get me wrong, I'd pay to see the guy read a phonebook, but my druthers would be for him to do something dramatic, even if it's a small but interesting part. A period piece would be great. I'd also love to see him go against type and play a bad guy. Of course, I'd be thrilled to see him do a quality sci-fi, or fantasy. Rom-com can come later.

hey pat go pats!!!!!!! woooohoooooo


sorry I had to say that. that game was intense to say the least.

[rumpuso]

Don't know if this is where this question should go, but I was wondering if anyone "in the business" knows why the WB has never given Smallville an early renewal in January as they have done last year with both The Gilmore Girls and Charmed. It just seems as if since Smallville is a money maker for the WB on a consistent basis that they wouldn't delay announcing its renewal. Anyone have any input?

[jas01724]

It was given its second season renewal in january (or at least very early) of 2002. It's a show with such changeable dynamics behind the scenes (especially now, with the movie) that an announcement of an early renewal would probably be very risky, what with the possibility, however small, that they may have to change their mind and cancel it anyway.

Barring some very specific circumstances -- circumstances that seemed pretty likely six months ago -- it has had an unofficial pick-up for at least five seasons since the middle of season two. Any seasons after the fifth would be dependant on the actors' willingness to continue.

You know, a lot of points I made in that post were ones I had made back in the day before our hopes were dashed in the old Tom Welling thread over on the Supes forum...

Too bad Singer didn't browse the forums before making his fateful (or fatal) decision to hire Routh or he woulda known what he should have done.

:D

There were a lot of good arguments on why TW should have gotten the part, and still are.

Yes, it's obviously made up. I love how the person added Jensen Ackles was there as well. Yeah, but that wouldn't have made them obvious or anything.

Ha ha!! Don't you just picture some stoned woman sitting on the couch watching Smallville with a friend and seeing Clark and going, "Hey that guy hit on me in a bar once." Then the next scene Jason comes on the screen and she slurrs, "Yeah, that guy was there too." Uh huh. I think that when people make claims like that they should have to post a picture. Because we know she has to be a looker. :rolleyes:

There's a reason at TWOP they refer to Clark as - "You big, dumb male-model lookin' alien with fantastic cheekbones!" Everyone was wondering why in Exile Clark wouldn't be approached by more women at the club because he looked better than everyone there. Perhaps truth is stranger than fiction???

Let him lower himself down a peg or two so that he doesn't have as far to fall. He's not perfect, nobody is, but that particular story is 99.99% guaranteed carp - I leave in the .01% just because anything's possible.

Yeah, well. He's not exactly a chatterbox about his private life, now is he?

Not that I blame him. I'd want to keep my private life private too, were I in similar circumstances...

It must be hard to live your life in a fishbowl. It probably helps that they live in Vancouver, not many Paparazzos up there I wouldn't imagine.

Aw, they're not so bad. They are purposely hard on shows and characters but even they don't try to defile The Pretty. That's the only reason I posted his TWOP title because although they'll harp on his character even they wouldn't buy a story of some girl in a bar blowing him off like he was Cliff Claven at Cheers.

[triplet]

You must get some pretty interesting emails... I'm glad no one's trust has been broken.

It stinks when that happens, especially when you're famous. It must be really hard to learn to trust people once you get past a certain point in your career.

It must seem like all everyone wants is what you can do for them... Just being a friend would be hard to do, I would think.

Well lets all face it when the forum was popular the most was when the superman casting threads were alive and kicking, I mean that was fun everyday to see the latest rumors. Most people probably left when there man wasnt cast. Heck we all were wrong cause I dont remember anyone saying that they wanted Brandon Routh to be cast, not even it is batgirl. I only remember Law, Cavill, Cavezel, Welling, and O Hearn being thrown around.

I can understand why James get said weird emails but why do you? You run a fan site too?Unfortunately. It's not for Tom Welling though. Mine is unmarried and attracts more older woman, which can be worse than the teenagers. (I can say that 'cause I consider myself "older." LOL)

EXACTLY! See, Pat knows her stuff. You could say he doesn't use one at all and this girl would gladly go and get pregnant... I pity her children.LOL! Oh, trust me, I know. They want to know what he drinks, what he eats, what side of the bed he sleeps on - you name it. It's more about mimicking the habits and lifestyle to be "closer" to their guy.

Charming. :pHee! I'll give James a mulligan today. That story from CondomLady made me laugh out loud.

Jeez, I know. A little respect for the fact that you could give him peritonitis, perhaps?Houdini, anybody? *sigh*

The unfortunate part of that request is that it probably came less from a fan but from somebody who just wanted to prove they could beat "Superman" in a wrestling match.

What about the clowns who get so carried away, they punch him. Literally. That's gotta SUCK, big time.

Yeah, somethig like that is what killed Houdini.... It can be dangerous.


I've taken to ignoring all of mine as well. I don't have the time or inclination to respond anymore. And I even have "form" e-mails saved for just about every response. I just don't bother anymore.


OK, so why do you get these emails? Are they about one of your clients?

It's more about mimicking the habits and lifestyle to be "closer" to their guy.I've never had the side of the bed question. But I have had the habits IN bed question, which I think counts. ;)

Hee! I'll give James a mulligan today.Thank you. My mushy concussed brain thanks you.

Houdini, anybody? *sigh*Exactly right. Stoopid people...

And I know what Pat's site is. ;)

[AgentPat]

No, I don't....PM on its way. :)
