Has everyone seen the new Smallville promo pic for Absolute Justice? The photoshopping leaves something to be desired, but I'm still thrilled about the image. I love that Tom Welling is front and center, and I hope the same proves true for Clark in the episode. Tom's gorgeous, Justin's pretty, and the JSA members look cool. I even like the cityscape in the background. I'm a happy fangirl! Click twice for BIGGER!  Now let's all keep our fingers crossed for some awesome episode stills from this two-hour event, especially some BTS shots of Tom directing! In other news, I have a little game for anybody who's as obsessed with Smallville as I am (you know who you are). I watched a movie the other night that was filmed in Vancouver in 2002, and you would not believe how many actors in it I recognized from Smallville! I counted 16 on IMDb, but a few of those were glorified extras. Still, I think a hardcore fan could easily spot a bunch, maybe even a dozen. There are also people you'll recognize from a handful of other shows, Supernatural in particular. The movie is called Bang Bang You're Dead, and it's about a high school facing a Columbine-type situation. It's actually a pretty good film. Anyway, if you have 90 minutes to waste and you want to check it out, the whole thing is posted on YouTube: Part 1 (9:12)Part 2 (9:57)Part 3 (9:55)Part 4 (9:54)Part 5 (9:49)Part 6 (9:54)Part 7 (9:54)Part 8 (9:54)Part 9 (9:00)Part 10 (3:13)If you watch it, come back and tell me who you found in the comments! No cheating, and if you really want to test yourself, try not to watch the opening credits. :)  Tags: absolute justice, jsa, picspam, smallville, tom welling

He's totally Beyonce there & they are his back-up singers! This is how it should be.
Exactly! That alone makes me forgive its flaws.
And I know I shouldn't get my hopes up for a Tom dvd-commentary...but how awesome would that be?
I'd love to have a commentary with Tom and Glen Winter together, where they totally talk shop, director to director, or one with Tom and Justin, where they crack jokes and tell stories from the set. And I'll be keeping my hopes up right up until the moment they announce what the commentaries (if any) actually are on the S9 DVD set. I can't help it, I want it too badly not to wish for it as hard as I can.
It's always a hoot to see X-files alumni pop up on SV, and then on SPN. So many actors have done all three!
That's so true, and many have been on the Stargate shows as well. The Vancouver acting community is an intimate one! This little movie also had Randy Harrison from QAF, Janel Moloney from The West Wing, and Tom Cavanagh from Ed (one of my favorite Canadian actors). It took place at a crowded high school, so between students, parents, and the school staff, the cast was massive.

I'm usually jumping up and pointing at the screen, saying "Hey, that's _________ from Smallville!" while whoever is in the room with me usually just nods and humors me.
I do that all the time, and with Supernatural actors, too! My hubby very sweetly pretends to be interested. :D He rarely watches Smallville, but he did call me to come see when Justin Hartley was in MegaFault on Syfy. Did you watch Harper's Island? I swear every actor in that series had been on either SV or SPN, and a lot of them had been on both!
I'm behind on several shows myself (Dollhouse, Fringe, Heroes). I've really enjoyed S9 of Smallville so far, but I know there are many who have washed their hands of the show. I think this 2-hour movie will be watchable as a stand-alone, since they're expecting so many fanboys to tune in.

When Clark is front and center, as he should be, I'm willing to overlook other flaws. So that's a good promo shot for me!
I agree, Carol! And the head shot they used for Tom is a pretty one.
RL always seems to be pulling me away from LJ for one reason or another, so I'm very happy to play while I can!
I enjoy watching shows that don't have me emotionally involved. It's much more relaxing!
I totally get that. I have several shows like that, where I enjoy them, but I don't like any particular character over the others, and I don't have any emotional stake in how much they're onscreen, or where the story takes them. Watching doesn't give me the joy Smallville does when Clark has a great episode, but it doesn't tie me up in knots, either!
But SV has given me so many good friends (and Tom!) that I can forgive it for how much it makes me suffer.
I'm afraid if it weren't for Tom and friends like you, Smallville would have lost me LONG ago. :) But Tom is enough to keep it my favorite, the one show I can never miss!

I kept off from commenting on this post for so long, just so I could find the time to watch the movie! I finally watched it, and took notes of everyone I could identify from either SV or SPN. :D
1) Teacher Lady from "Truth"
2) Ooh, just spotted the guy who wanted to get into Jodie's pants after she lost all that weight in "Craving"
3) Supernatural sighting ... the girl from "Hookman"!
4) ERIC JOHNSON! Aw, I miss Whitney! (But ha, way to be typecast there, fella!)
5) I see the guy from "Hothead" and "Bulletproof"! Although he looks more like his "Hothead" self here, haha.
6) I think the Mom lady was in some episode long ago, but I can't remember which one or what role she played.
7) The guy who plays the Trogs leader (Sean, is it?) is really cute and looks very familiar, but I can't place him.
8) Another familiar face! This time it's Tina Greer's mom! (I just saw that episode recently, haha.)
9) The outraged Dad seems familiar, but again, I can't place him. This isn't as easy as I thought!
...
Okay, at that bit I got so engrossed in the movie, I forgot to look out for more people! Thanks for recommending it ... it really was a great watch, especially now that I'm pretty much in the business, heh. I went and looked up some of these school killings on Wikipedia, and really, it's all just horrible. Just to think that stuff like this happens in real life, and that innocent children lose their lives is just ... I don't have words for it, to be honest.
But really, thank you for making me watch it! I'm glad I did. :)

It is a good movie, isn't it? I found it because I got on a Tom Cavanagh kick over Christmas. I watched Trust Me, Love Monkey, and all four seasons of Ed. Which wasn't easy, because none of them are available on DVD. Then I went looking for any movies he had been in.
Wasn't it wild to spot everyone? I knew you'd be good at this game. :) Trevor's mom was Lex's housekeeper (Amy and Jeff's mom) in Shimmer. Sean was played by Randy Harrison, who was Justin in Queer as Folk. I'm not sure who you mean by the outraged dad, but Trevor's dad was the bartender in Suspect, and Jenny's dad played Lana's doctor during the fake baby plot. Another dad at the public meeting was Chloe's father's friend in Truth (the one she stole the ID badge from). Jenny's mom was Eric Summer's mom in Leech.
Emily Dinsmore from Forsaken and Brendan from Forever (the guy who kidnapped everyone) were both in the play. Kyle from Visitor was one of the bullies, and Garrett from Resurrection was one of the kids who got picked on. And then there were a couple more actors listed on IMDb who had bit parts in Smallville, but I didn't recognize them.
Another one from Supernatural was the principal's secretary. She played the wife in the pagan god couple in A Very Supernatural Christmas.
