I just saw "Cheaper by the Dozen"... I liked it, it was cute. TW was good, but his character was very much like Clark, sans the powers and the Lana angst (Thank God!). But to me, the movie was all about Steve Martin and that cute little boy with the glasses and the red hair... That's really what did for me, not that a TW fix is anything to complain about!

Saw the hilarious Best in Show last night and both Perry and Principal Kwan were in it.

Sci-Fi channel is currently airing the movie "It", in which Annette O'Toole appears.

I just watched Love! Valour! Compassion! for the first time in ages and I have to say how impressive John Glover is. He does a fine British accent while playing twins, one with a good soul and one with a bad. He's so good he even managed to convine me that he was attracted to Jason Alexander.

The movie also features a scorching kiss between Justin Kirk (of Angels in America) and a hot Latino dancer that the Smallville production team should copy for the Clex as soon as possible.

On a flight back to London, I watched bits and pieces of SJIII's CSI episodes. I had heard about it, but never seen it before, and he was quite good in it.

A friend of mine lent me this DVD called The Greatest '70s Cop Shows (containing the series premieres of shows like Charlie's Angels and The Rookies). While I was watching the very first episode of S.W.A.T., whom should I see but a 21-year-old Annette O'Toole!

I made a couple of screencaps if anyone's curious:
Annette 1, Annette 2.

These are awesome! She looks so pretty.

Muy Caliente!!! Thanks for that. Somebody get me a time machine and a dozen roses! Stat!!

Patrick Cassidy (Lana's dad) was in an episode of CHARMED last night, which will be replayed on TNT either this Tuesday at 9 pm or next. As it turns out, he's the Charmed Ones' grandfather. (It was a time travel ep.) So, the guy gets around. But, if you feel the urge to watch, be prepared. He plays a peace loving hippie flower child, complete with the clothes, the hair, and the "hippie speech". (Calling Paige's boyfriend her "old man". Calling the police "the pigs".)

And, yes, he was also on an episode of the NANNY. (And why do I feel like I have to defend myself for watching that show.) He played a New York hairdresser complete with the Barbarino accent, tight t-shirt, and painted on jeans that are just begging for you to grab...something, no matter which side of him is facing you.

And that's enough of that.

Rutger Hauer, aka Original Morgan Edge, who played Lothos the head vampire in the original Buffy, the Vampire Slayer movie, will play *another* head vampire in TNT's remake of Salem's Lot, which debuts this June.

I saw the video for Jason Mraz's "You and I Both" and I do believe that the girl he is jonesing for is the same girl who played Tina Greer.

It is her! It's been driving me crazy because she looked familiar but everytime a Jason Mraz video comes on I'm too busy trying to change the channel instead of paying attention.

I gotta say... I loved Cheaper by the Dozen and not just because of Tom. Steve Martin is one funny dude. I can't wait for the DVD.

Also, I was so jealous of Bonnie Hunt at the end, when they showed the outtake of Tom kissing her. *Sigh To be Bonnie Hunt

Reynaldo Rosales, aka the FotW from Reaper, was on this week's L&O:SVU as a racist murderer with daddy issues.

Blair Brown (Rachel Dunleavy) will be on Ed next Friday.

I just read on EW that Jodelle Micah Fernand (Emily on Accelerate), is part of the cast of ABC's "Kingdom Hospital". The show will start airing in March is written by Stephen King.

Allison Mack is in "Switched at Birth" which will start on the Lifetime Movie Network in about five minutes.

I just caught the movie "The Chocolate War" on The Movie Channel, a 1988 film with John Glover playing a power-hungry Catholic school teacher, basically Brother Lionel. He has top billing, but the student actors get more screen time. Well worth checking out.


Tom Welling, a.k.a. Clark, was being interviewed for Cheaper by the Dozen
and he was asked what it was like working with such a young cast. He said something like, "I love working with kids - it's the grownups who scare me." Hee.

Comedy Central is airing "Scrogged" right now. John Glover appears in it.

DTS has a link to a featurette of KK's new movie Eurotrip. She sure as hell isn't playing Lana in this one.

I dunno...bitchy girlfriend who likes to rub it in her ex's face? That's pretty much Lana in a nutshell.

BTW, that movie looks like it's going to suck HARD.

But it looks like she's consistently bitchy, not just when there's some sort of mind control thing going on and she looks great, KK plays bitchy very well.

I had a free pass, so I went to see Cheaper by the Dozen yesterday afternoon.
The original, for what it's worth, was better, but this wasn't bad for a bit of mindless afternoon fun. I actually laughed out loud in several places...almost none of them involving Ashton Kutcher, though. That boy really gets on my nerves. Why he's so popular is anyone's guess.

But I digress...

Of course, there were many moments that stretched credibility, even for a comedy, but the most egregious one was when the two older children, played by Tom Welling and Hilary Duff, go to a new high school in Chicago and have trouble fitting in and making friends. I'm sorry, but in the shallow, turbulent waters of a suburban high school, two teenagers who looked like Tom Welling and Hilary Duff wouldn't have any trouble making a few friends. They'd probably both have dates before the first day was over. :-)

Anyhoo, as a Smallville fan, I had to do my part for pretty Tom. And I must say, Tom may not be the handsomest young actor to ever appear on the silver screen, but he'll do until that guy shows up. I mean, I'm a devotee of Sexy Lexy all the way, but Tom is a pretty tasty bit of manflesh, if I do say so myself...especially when he's half-naked in a lockerroom. And the outtake at the end--where Tom takes Bonnie Hunt in his arms, bends her back, and kisses her--is hilarious.

Krista Allen was a FOTW in MutantX (Scorpion Lady) and her role in it was so freakingly similar to her role in SV. She's able to secrete pheromones to make men do whatever she wanted them to. But instead of getting them to kill her husbands, she got them to steal stuff.

Last night I saw the episode of Justice League where Flash (MR) acquires his swingin' customized Flash Van O' Love...(:D

The "Lightspeed Energy Bar!" commercial was pretty funny, too.

Odd that Flash the chick hound never once mentions using the van to entertain the Ladies... Network Standards and Practices, I suppose. Instead, he invites Green Lantern inside and suggests a road trip across America. That's why they were playing that Bow-Chikka-Bow-Wow music in the background, right? ;)

I watched Justice League myself last night. I've been catching them the last few weeks and I gotta say, the Flash is the highlight of the whole show. Last night's ep with the rockin' shaggin' wagon was a hoot. It's interesting to listen to the difference in MR's voice as the Flash. I'll bet he is just that ornery in RL. Too funny.

Yup, Flash is the main reason to watch Justice League. Without the comic relief and grounding that he provides, they'd all be a bunch of humorless, super-powered tight-asses with serious abandonment issues and bad taste in decorating.



I never picked up on the GL/Flash vibe, until someone rubbed my nose in it, and now I can't get through an ep without it slapping me in the face. Not that I mind. :-)

I guess this would be another role, but Annette O'Toole and Michael McKean (Perry White) were nominated for an Academy Award this morning for "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow" from A Mighty Wind. Congrats to them!

1974, 1984, 1994, 2004...It's all good. :)

I saw Rutger Hauer in Clooney's "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind". He played a CIA agent who helps the main character Barret.

For some strange reason, Movietome is listing MR's movie Cursed as opening on February 14th. I was under the impression that it wasn't opening until later in the spring.

"Karate Rob" got a shout out on Judging Amy last night. Yay! Tom lives on JA!

Curse the double post

Really? What kind of mention did he get? Favorable, I hope.

Caught a film with Ian Somerhalder in it at the weekend called Changing Hearts, about cancer patients. Ian played a nurse and he had very rosy cheeks. It was on Sky Movies(UK), so I'm sure it will be on again & again

Kelly Brook was a presenter at the Empire Magazine awards tonight, which was also on Sky.

Michael McKean in Hairspray

Ian Somerhalder's in The Rules of Attraction as someone who inexplicably has the hots for James VanDer Beek's character. While IS's making out with the Forhead was squicky, his bouncing aound on a bed in his drawers to Gearge Michael's "Faith" definitely makes up for it, IMO.

I guess I'm pretty slow, but it took me nearly half of Velocity to realise why the name Ryan Merriman seemed so familiar, and just who that Villain of the Week (already forgetting the character's name) kid was... He's young Jarod!!! Too bad he didn't actually grow up to look anything like Michael Weiss.

Cynthia Ettinger was on the rerun of L&O:SVU last night and can I say how glad I am that Annette O'Toole replaced her as Mama Kent? CE wasn't horrible, I guess, but she wasn't that good either. Of course I haven't seen the unaired version of the pilot episode but I gotta think they made the right choice in going with AOT.

I saw the unaired pilot. They made the right choice with AOT.

AOT is much better as Ma Kent. Trust me. Way more chemistry with JS & better acting.

Saw MR in Bringing Down the House last night & he was great. His *wig*, otoh, was another story.

It was so weird to see the man with hair.

This thread title always confuses me. I always think, "Huh? How can you cast Smallville in other roles?"

Michael McKean as Edna Turnblatt! Yay! Does he also play the station manager, a la Divine?

(I love Hairspray.)

Where did you see this? I would like to see it, too!

I think I saw the lead "bro" from Kinetic in an episode of the Outer Limits this weekend. He was playing a tattooed jerky jock. Then he got eaten by Alysa Milano.

Supermon, it's at that K place.;)

K-site is hosting a download of the whole episode? I was going to say you can sometimes get it off of iMesh or KaZaa. I've got it burned to a CD with other Smallville eps I've downloaded in mpg or avi.

Thanks everyone.

I know this is old news, but I saw KK in the previews for (what I know will be a horrible movie) Eurotrip. Does anyone know whether she will have a main role, or did they just show her to get all the pink-wearing 14 year olds at the movie theater?
