Clancy Brown has a great manly voice, but I can't vote for a voice lol.

I dunno what to think of Spacey's Luthor, wasn't impressed.

Rosenbaum's Luthor isn't completely evil either, but of course i'm gonna vote for someone who played the character for years and years, for someone who has given us lots of memorable moments, and that's Rosenbaum.

Word!!!!

There's a new trailer up on www.cwtv.com/video

More of a commercial, really. I thought you meant a trailer for the next show.
I saw another commercial yesterday that was shown during ANTM and it was all about "TRUE EEEVIL!" and only showed Lex and Lana.

*re-sigh*

No, I didn't mean that... I wish.

I'm sick of Lex...
Not very profound for last post, but I figured I'd post one last time before I deleted this (you can do that right?) Ciao

I'm sick of Lex!!! (And this is the first time I'm posting on this thread and just because I saw MellyM had posted here)

^^ You know.. I'm not really sick of Lex. But I think there is a growing frustration because we're all disappointed with the lack of Clark this season. I KNOW he's been in every episode, and aside from Static, I've really been enjoying the episodes in general, but it's still not the level of Clark that people have come to expect and want. It just feels like they've strayed from the mark a bit in their focus this season. BUT.. I'm very optimistic that they will find it again.

People complained for so long about these characters not progressing, and now they are. But I would have preferred to see the progress of Clark getting the bulk of screentime - and the other characters shown as their orbits intersect with his.

There I go.. armchair quarterbacking. LOL..

I'm not sick of Lex either. I'm sick of the Lex/Lana story, mostly because I become increasingly bored each and every time they are on screen together now.

Then having most of an episode devoted to that story just almost ruined a great introduction of the Martian Manhunter.

[ariellem]

who is clancy brown?

The Kurgan :-> :-> :->
***Loved*** him in the original <<Highlander>>!
"Nuns... no sense of humor."

http://www.movievillains.com/archives/2004/08/the_kurgan.html
(1st image is from this site):

He was also "Rawhide" in <<Buckaroo Banzai>>.

Here's what he really looks like under the makeup, in a recent pic from
http://www.nerf-herders-anonymous.net/ClancyBrown.html (all but 1st of these pix were from this second site):

*Much* scarier-sounding than MR, but then he's had many more years to practice that!

 

[ariellem]

No posts here for nearly a month, so I'll try to get this restarted!

Lex got to be pretty darn evil this week in Justice, and MR has been looking a bit different of late (not better, alas).

Any new interviews with him to recommend to the rest of us?

I think his face has been looking really puffy, to the point where I wondered if he was taking cortisone.

 

[Strange]

Does anyone else feel that Lex becoming purely evil kinda takes away from the character that was loved. We knew he was evil but when he played Clarks friend and did evil stuff behind his back it was a lot more interesting.

 

[04nbod]

well lex is outright evil in the comics and thats the character they need to create. its been baby steps to make a believable transition

[heliorei]

Excellent news for Michael being recognized for his work.

 

[Riva]

That's great!

 

[The Caped Knight]

IMO Michael should be first on that list . Still fourth place isn't bad . Congrats MR

Yep, that's what I thought.

The chick from Battlestar and Sylar from Heroes are bad ass villains but no one on that list is as compelling a character as Rosie's Lex.

He shoulda been first, but it's nice that he got on the list.

Could we get Tricia Helfer as a baddie on SV? Lex could hire her to try to seduce Clark :->

Clark should hire her to seduce Lex, and return the favor Lex did on him in Hypno....

That'd really ruin the wedding.

Ooooooooooooooh, I like that! But I don't think Clark would do something that Lexish. If he were to run into her in Metropolis, or at the Talon, or elsewhere, though, and *talk* her into it indirectly, that'd be somewhat more heroic. Point her nose/greed/interest in Lex's direction and hope she picks up on it, rather than asking her outright. Sophisticated, worldly, long legs, short skirts - just Lex's type.
