Congrats to Smallville alum Amy Adams (Craving) for getting an Oscar nom for "Junebug." Also, "Batman Begins" got a nod for Best Cinematography.

Interesting tidbit... Cast and crew of Smallville were recently spotted shooting on location at an army-research building in Surrey, Vancouver.

Based on what that stand-in guy just posted in his blog (as posted by avid in another thread), it must be the ep just prior to the one Tom is supposed to direct, since that is the next one they are starting.



Okay, this is old, but a friend just sent it to me and I had completely forgotten it until the punchline. Thought I'd share.

Two men are sitting at the bar at the top of the
Empire State Building drinking, when the first man
turns to the other one and says:

"You know, last week I discovered that if you jump
from the top of this building, by the time you fall to
the 10th floor, the wind around the building is so
intense that it carries you around the building and
back into the window."

The bartender just shakes his head in disapproval
while wiping the bar, but says nothing.

The second guy says, "What? Are you insane? There's no
way in heck that could happen!"

"No, no... it's true..." said the first man, "let me
prove it to you."

He gets up from the bar, jumps over the balcony and
plummets toward the street below. When he passes the
10th floor, the high wind whips him around the
building and back into the 10th floor window. He takes
the elevator back up to the bar.

He meets the second man, who is astonished. "Oh my
God, I saw that with my own eyes! But that must've
been a one-time fluke.
That was scientifically impossible!"

"No, I'll prove it again," says the first man as he
jumps.

Again, just as his body hurtles towards the street,
the 10th floor wind gently carries him around the
building and into the window. He takes the elevator
back to the bar. Once upstairs, he successfully
convinces his dubious fellow drinker to try it.

"Well, what the heck," the second guy says, "I've seen
that it works, so I'll try it!"

He immediately jumps over the balcony and plunges
downward rapidly, passing the 11th, 10th, 9th, 8th
floors...

His body hits the sidewalk...Splat !!!!

Back upstairs, the bartender who had been silent the
whole time turns to the first drinker, and shakes his
head "You know, Superman, you're a real asswhole when
you're drunk."

Oh that's funny! I know I've read that before, but it still came as a humorous surprise to me. Thanks Serene!

 

[triplet]

LOL!

Great joke!

Okay, I thought this was funny.... In an interview over on TV Guide, Man From Atlantis Patrick Duffy was asked if he'd like to be in the new Aquaman show:

TVGuide.com: Me, I'd like to see the Man from Atlantis as Aquaman's dad on the Smallville spin-off.

Duffy: That would be a very nice wink-wink, nudge-nudge kind of thing. I'm open to all of it. I am of the age now where I'm not going to be the swashbuckling superhero, and that's perfectly fine.​

Although, isn't AC's dad dead in the show? It would still be cool for him to be in it. I LOVED the Man From Atlantis...

The reference to Brokeback Mountain at the end is funny, so you might want to read the interview....

Was Man from Atlantis a TV show?

Was Man from Atlantis a TV show?

Dont you remember? Or are you too young?

I think it was on in the 80's. It would have been after Dallas, I'm sure.

I'm not too young...weird, I have no recollection of that show existing.

 

[triplet]

Was Man from Atlantis a TV show?

Yeah, Man From Atlantis was a show and it was about a mereman... you know, kinda like Aquaman.

And Patrick Duffy was the deal back then and it was before Dallas, Avid. (It ran for less than one season in 77/78, probably why you don't remember it...)

The only reason I tuned into Dallas to begin with was because PD was in it....

Yikes. That scares me that I can remember that far back, that's why I thought it was after Dallas.

Rec'ing another music vid. I think this one is particularly well done. She really chose some great clips, it's amazing how many hand-shots are used in this show.

It's happy Clark and happy Lana. It was done for an 80's music vid challenge, so the song is an oldie but a goodie.

Right-click and Save.

Interesting.. on AOL's main Television page, they have a feature about famous TV Love Triangles.

http://television.aol.com/feature/t.../cdn.channel.aol.com/tvlovetriangles/main.xml

That's the link. For some reason my brain has just died and I can't remember how to do the Print Screen thing.

EDIT: Apparently (and fortunately) the reports of my brain's death were a little premature.

Yay me.. I figured it out.

Okay.. this is weird. The first SV clip is up at that Acuvue contest site. It's all about Chloe, with a supposed voice-over narration by her. But I swear, that's NOT AM's voice.

Someone else has to listen and tell me if I'm nuts (just about this..okay).

I'd like to reassure you, but I cant get the damn thing to play past the first line.

I had to play it in Firefox.

It didn't work with Internet Explorer for me.
