Crikey. I probably sat here for a good ten minutes trying to think of something to say about this cap, but there are no words...

This one does strike the speech outta you.

He's simply beautiful.

^^^ I'm a "Fanatic".


Okay, that was really bad, that shot is really breathtaking.

There's an honesty to his face, I think. I don't mean metaphoric (though there's that too). What I mean is, his look isn't a facade. We know they cake him with make-up, but it's really only done to de-age him slightly - smooth out the pores, cover up the blemishes, stuff like that. I see a hint of copper eye shadow and lip color in that cap. There's a barely perceptible line under the eyes. Could be eye liner, could be natural. I can't really tell. And of course the mop is tamed. LOL So my point is, other than losing the age battle, the make-up folks aren't trying to change him. Pretty much, WYSIWYG: That's HIM. Preternaturally large and striking, translucent blue/green eyes, expressive and emotionally tender eyebrows, high cheek bones and no harsh or weathered features to elicit feelings of dishonesty or vague intentions. Welling was blessed with a naturally guileless look and young, innocent face. In other words, he's...

at-trac-tive

1. Having the power to attract.
2. Pleasing to the eye or mind; charming.

<- Preaching to the choir. Will step off the pulpit now.

So what I hear you saying is...you find him just a tad bit appealing to the eye?? Hmmm...never really noticed.

You have a gift for understatement, Rumpuso.

Kreuk aptly summed it up once, and I don't think anybody has ever topped the simplicity of her statement: "he's freakishly good looking." I think a lot has to do with the his eyes, which can be highly expressive.

Take the last episode, for example. Welling knows how to use his eyes to convey just the right feeling in context with the scene. Subtlety is definitely one of his fortes.

With Lana:

With Lex:

LOL! You don't even have to hear the dialog.

 

[AgentPat]

Aight... shameless cut and paste. It's kinda old news, but I just read it and LMAO!! Apparently, there was a shout out to TW in the season premiere of Veronica Mars this year. Anybody here watch that show? Here's the lines:

Logan: I always wanted a TV movie version of my life. Do you think they could get Tom Welling to play me?
Veronica: Dream on.​

HAHAHAHA!! That's just brilliant. Now I wish I had caught the episode.

I watch it sporadically. I do like it. I think K-site may have had the link to that clip, at least I saw it somewhere.

 

[user123456789]

Pat, when did kristin say that? DVD commentary? interview?

link me

 

[AgentPat]

Hmmm ... http://www.tomwelling.org/archives/2005/09/29/291/

LOL!!! Leave it to James.

That's just awesome. (It's the small things in life, doncha know? LOL)

Hee! Look up.

I think she said it a few different times. One was in a radio interview. You can read the transcript Here.

The other one was from Kristin's first day on the set, though I don't know which publication it was originally printed in - or if it was a recorded interview for that matter. In any case, James has the transcript reprinted on his site - in an annoyingly blinking text - so I'll just cut and paste it here to spare you your eyes LOL...

Kristin about her first day on the set meeting Tom: "I remember I was really shy and tongue-tied. He’s quite stunning in person and was so cool with his stubble and ripped jeans; he looked like a model. Our chemistry was great, and that made me really excited to play this character."

"Tom is beautiful. He is. He is freakishly good-looking!"

"My kind of guy? My boyfriend! I like sweet guys, nice, reassuring, and with dark hair. I'm not attracted to ''bad boys.'' I need to be charmed and impressed. Tom Welling absolutely corresponds to that profile, but he is a friend and moreover he is married. Anyway, I have to admit he is very cute."​

i heart kristom

thanks pat

Psst, the site you're talking about is not mine. And this is why the similarity of their domain name annoys me.

People confuse me with their stupidity all the time.

Oh s***... it IS different, init?

Looks like they just added a hyphen. Namewise, they're identical otherwise. Wow! My bad. Yeah, that would annoy me too. Now I'm gonna have to look closer next time. I didn't even KNOW there were two sites out there with that name.

 

[jas01724]

I wouldn't care, but they're always doing stupid things that I end up getting the "credit" for because my site (for the time being) is more well known.

There's no way in hell that I would use blinking text. Yuck.

 

[AgentPat]

...There's no way in hell that I would use blinking text. Yuck.

I chalked it up to my using an old browser. Some sites just don't load right anymore 'cause I'm too stubborn to use the new one (even though I've already downloaded it and have it set-up.) I just like the old one better. Less bells and whistles = less things to go wrong. I LOATHE blinking text too. There's not much worse than that. How stupid?

 

[jas01724]

Which browser do you use?

If you want a plain browser without any add-ons you might like Firefox ...

I've used Netscrape since Day One. I really like it. Yeah, I know, crash and burn city. But I got used to it. I'm a creature of habit, what can I say? I'm not big on change. When I get used to something, I stick with it. I love it. I don't want it messed with, replaced or changed....

Wait... what were we talking about again?

 

[jas01724]

I've used Netscrape since Day One.

Ah, good browser ... at least version 6.0 and higher. Please say you're not on Netscape 4. Netscape 7 and 8 are actually really good.

Oh, and Tom's pretty.

ETA: Hmm, Netscape 7.02 isn't so bad.

Yup, that's what I use - 7.02. I've got 8.0.4 downloaded and installed, but rarely use it. The tabs drive me batty and can't be completely bypassed sometimes.

Oh, and I agree, Tom's QUITE pretty. LOL

I've posted this before, but what they hey... it's been a while. I love the artwork:

I just love reading this sort of stuff.

I really enjoyed the little article by James Marsters in the latest Smallville Mag. His comments on Tom were amusing and entertaining.

 

[Lara]

I agree it was so honest I have suspected forever that people think Tom is kinda a himbo and he faced a certain predjudice because of that. The same thing that has opened doors has made him have to work alot harder to be respected. That's one reason I'm glad he's doing things like directing an episode.
