Mack Online Interviews "Chloe"
Allison
Mack Online has landed a new scoop, with an all-new exclusive
interview with Chloe Sullivan herself, Allison Mack.
Here's
a brief tidbit:
"I
think that Chloe always knew there was weird stuff with Clark
and that was what I was sort of implying. It was like, 'I
know youre not normal. I know that theres something
funky going on with you and I know that you might have been
affected by the meteor shower in some way,' but I think she
had no idea to what extent and she had no idea that her suspicions
were correct and that it was that intense. So, before, what
I was implying was she was like 'I know that theres
something weird about you,' and I think thats the big
reason why shes so attracted to him too, because she
knows that theres something different, something strange.
But I think that the surprise and the sort of overwhelming
reaction to when she actually found out that it was true was
just like 'Holy crap, I didnt know it was to this extent'."

"Blank"
Guest Spotlight
Somehow the spoiler that Jonathan Bennett would be playing
this week's "Freak of the Week" flew by until we actually
saw the episode.
If
he looks familiar to you, you might remember him from the movie
"Mean Girls." He also appeared on an episode of Veronica
Mars earlier this year as the brainwashed Casey Gant.
You'll
see Jonathan Bennett next on Tuesday night's Veronica
Mars, as his character returns in the episode. Kyle
Gallner (Bart Allen in "Run") also appears.
|
"Blank"
Ratings
Consistent
numbers to last week, but the competition seems to get closer.
Some
of the last episodes of this season sound really good, so we
can only hope that - plus the 8-minute appearance of a certain
Caped Crusader in the season finale - will translate into better
numbers. Keep in mind, also, that Smallville's Wednesday-night
companions this year, The Mountain and Jack and Bobby,
have had pretty dreadful ratings. (So bad that Smallville
*repeats* in the J&B timeslot seemed to do better
than new J&B episodes). Hopefully Smallville will
have a more suitable companion next year.
America's
Next Top Model still seems to be benefitting from starting
its current "cycle" while Smallville and other
shows were in repeats. Its numbers are consistently better than
they were in the Fall.

Here's
a list of some of the other music that was also played in the

"Onyx"
Ratings
In
another example of one of the better episodes of Smallville
going unseen in the ratings, last night's overnight ratings
were a bit, well... disastrous. Apparently people were more
interested in seeing Tyra Banks have a hissyfit than they cared
to see Lex Luthor be a bad boy.
Let's
hope that next season Smallville gets a new timeslot
or a stronger companion, because coming behind repeats, a Pamela
Anderson sitcom, Paris Hilton, and a UPN reality show is just
embarrassing. To Smallville's credit, though,
the show didn't air properly in several markets last night,
and generally, the weeks after a really good episode tend to
do well because of buzz.

Season Five & Superman Returns Tie-In Not
True
An account at the French-language website Ecranlarge

The

However,

Jeph
Loeb Has "Spirit"
"Spirit" may be the name of an upcoming Smallville
episode, but it's also the name of a classic comic book
and comic strip character created by the late, legendary artist
Will Eisner. "The Spirit" is headed to the
movie screens soon, thanks to Odd Lot Entertainment and Batfilm
Productions. The big treat is that this movie is going to be
written by a Smallville favorite - the show's supervising
producer and writer of several fan-favorite episodes, Jeph
Loeb.
"The
Spirit" was created in 1940, and is about a crime fighter
named Denny Colt who is pronounced dead, but is actually reborn
as a domino-mask wearing vigilante that calls himself "The
Spirit." The Spirit has been reprinted in several deluxe
hardcover volumes from DC Comics in recent years.
We
caught up with Mr. Loeb for a statement about his new gig, and
he was kind enough to oblige. Here's what he had to say:
"I'm
thrilled to be part of the remarkable world of the THE SPIRIT.
I will make every effort to live up to the impossible standard
set by Will Eisner, a true artist, gentleman and genius. I've
been a Spirit fan for as long as I can remember -- the imagery,
the humor and the characters were such a gift that Eisner left
for us. Michael Uslan and the folks at ODD LOT are the perfect
place to make this movie -- they know exactly the right way
to go and I can't wait to deliver it to them!"
Since
Loeb has been writing and movies simultaneously with his Smallville
duties, this new project won't affect his future with the
show. Congratulations to Mr. Loeb on the new gig!
Fans
of Jeph Loeb's work or Superman comics in general may also get
a big kick out of the latest issue of Superman/Batman,
which hit comic book stores today. No spoiling, but... it's
gooooood.
