Younis Page & Other Boards Follies

ya i am getting sick of folks thinking tom wont wear the suit for the finale. Or that it would just be a tease. They have to do more then just that after all the yrs of teases we have had.

Hey colors, that guy is an ADMITTED Apologist who posts his passive-aggressive anti-Smallville/Reboot bullshit both there and at SingerHomoHype.

So ANYTHING he says is automatically irrelevant.

Well, Aintitcoolnews gave it a moderate thumbs up, plus an explanation of how the budget got slashed at the last minute, a la Superman IV style.

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/49462

Trailers are a mixed bag. I've seen great trailers to movies that weren't all that great (Star Trek: Nemesis, Pearl Harbor), and I've seen terrible trailers to movies that I'd end up loving, (SR had really unimpressive trailers- the international one I thought was better, but still) so imo it's not a perfect science to judging a film just by the trailer.


Hopefully his agent has something better up his sleeve, barring a last minute replacement (unlikely it seems) with Cavill for Superman.
(Makes me wonder- WHO IS Cavill's replacement, if he sprains his ankle/quits/whatever at the last minute? The Watchmen guy or would they reconsider Routh?)

(Though, yeah, again, highly unlikely to have a replacement at this point....)

See how pathetic Apologists are, and always have been?

Don't tell me they're holding out for Cavill to "sprain his ankle" so Ruth can get another look in.............Jeez

I guess it's like you said.

Good point. VERY good point.

Blandon The Bartender is attending the Superman Celebration this year.

As ever, the Eunuch page comments are hysterical.

Brandon is a class act all the way.
While I was sorry to see Dylan Dog bomb (terribly) domestically and worldwide, it should be noted that Brandon filmed that movie (and SR) years ago, and his acting chops have improved since then.
I hope Brandon hops on board one of the successful CSI tv shows soon.

Every excuse that you can imagine. "He shot Dylan Douche years ago, he's gotten BETTER since then!" But then I guess that's why we call them Apologists.

The only sad people will be the other actors, who must have instantly realized Routh would be the main attraction to the extent that it would hardly matter if they were there. There would also be resentment, I guess, as these celebrations envelope the last vestiges of their fame, and perhaps, income.

Um, huh? Huffman has worked regularly for years, with or without Smallville around. As for Pillow, he vanished from the acting world pretty much completely in the 80's and from the public eye some time in the early 90's. He's not trying to revive his career. He lives a few miles from me, works a 9-5 job, is just trying to take care of his family and has mostly fond memories of his association with Superman.

Neither of them will feel the slightest bit threatened by BJ.

Hell, if I'm not much mistaken, Huffman has gone to Celebration before and been a popular guest.

I forget the specifics but a few months or a year ago, it came out that Routh would start doing cons. This was a first for him. He apparently wanted to charge $60 or something for pics and an autograph. Stan fucking Lee might be able to ask for, and get, that kind of price but Pleatherman? Cracka, please.

Hey, in relation to that same link you posted, here's some additional 'winners':

@11, no way.
Brandon is too personable and an all around nice guy to be Bizarro; Tom Welling, however, would definitely fit the bill.

Not enough? How about this?:

[censored]! I was a regular to the Celebration through out the 90s. Life changes made it hard to go since 2001. Plus the fact that most of the guests have been Smallville cast. A show I am not a big fan of, its been hard to justify going back.

But I been hoping to and checking the guest announcements. This WOULD have been my reason. I a big fan of Superman Returns of of Brandon Routh's portrayal.

BUUUUUUUTTTTTT There is a conflict with my other major passion other than Superman. I am going to be in Las Vegas to see my first ever Paul McCartney concert with my girlfriend. I been a fan of the Beatles my whole life and have wanted to see him for years.
#17 | Sabaoth on May 11, 2011 5:56pm EST
Sure good to see Brandon together with Huntington.
I wonder if Rosenbaum will be announced next as his show just got canned.
@12, there is no reason he couldn't be in the justice league, since Bale and Cavill won't be in it. That would be a great question to ask him there.

'Sabaoth' needs no explanation but believe me, 'Avilos' is also an apologist of the highest order. Believe me I know from experience!

However, in response to the 'Bizarro' comments about Welling, 'swrighty' tries to be the voice of reason:

And you know this how??? How do you know Tom isn't just as nice. By all accounts by actors and fans who have met him, he is incredibly gracious and almost always takes time with kids who visited the set. Whether or not Brandon or Tom could play Bizarro is purely about acting ability...not whether or not they are considered "good people".

Always amazes me how people can let their personal biases get in the way of facts. At least do some research before you insinuate that Tom isn't a good guy.

Swrighty to the rescue again! But to be fair, Tom has already played Bizarro, on SV. Does this fact escape duh apologists' notice?!

Dumb & Dumberer!

Yeah, saw that. I mean, COME ON! If that's all anybody can say about actor/producer/co-producer/executive producer/director Tom Welling, it's safe to say those morons are running out of ideas.

Ah yes, everyone's favorite mind-changing flip-flopper. As I recall, he went from being stridently pro-Singerman (ie, Apologist) to casual Singerman fan to unapologetic SV fan. Y'know, which ever way fandom is leaning, that's where you'll find swrong... the following day.

These people are lucky they can tie their shoes. Asking them to remember SV episodes that are a credit to Tom Welling as an actor is like asking them to acknowledge what a turd-bomb BJ Routh's career is. There are some things Apologists will just never be comfortable admitting even to themselves.

Dude, it already has as far as I'm concerned. If Welling had done a shit job in his first time directing an episode of SV, star of the show or not, he wouldn't have been allowed back to do another one. Schneider and Rosenbaum weren't (that I can remember anyway).

But Welling? 05.18- Fragile, 06.10- Hydro, 07.18- Apocalypse (*AFTER* the WGA strike, no less), 08.21- Injustice, 09.11- Absolute Justice (the second, arguably more important, half), 10.09- Patriot, 10.18- Booster all show that he's got a good eye. I'm sorry but you don't get those opportunities unless you've got skills. All of his episodes looked great, had great performances (yes, even Hydro), innovated a bit on the show's usual style and visuals, etc. He's SV's greatest director but the dude's easily in the top 6 or 7 (which is saying a lot considering the behind-the-camera talent SV had going for it) and he ain't even a director by trade.

On the other hand, I defy anybody to show me ONE major studio or network willing to fire off even a relatively paltry $3 million at BJ to direct jackshit. Just one. But nobody can because Routh probably couldn't fucking direct traffic, much less cinema.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Tom walks on water. My only point is that Blandon would probably give his left nut to have Welling's career.

Singerman ended, and BJ has had a pathetic at best "career" since. Welling need only be part of ONE successful film to eclipse BJ's flop-streak.

Forgive me, maybe I'm overly-sensitive about it but it pisses me right off anytime someone compares ol' BJ's career to Welling's because (A) it's usually Apologists who do it and (B) somehow The Bartender always comes out on top.

Ah well, just a reminder for me to read things in their entirety before going off the deep end about it.

There was no comparison though. I am just looking forward to rubbing some salt in the ol' wound.

Know what I mean?

A Superman facebook page asked which Superman actor people prefer among Reeve, Cain, Welling and Blandon. See it at https://www.facebook.com/superman.

The results... well, I doubt the results will be much of a surprise to any of you. The vote breakdown is as follows:

Christopher Reeve- 1,450
Dean Cain- 84
Tom Welling- 608
BJ The Bartender- 98

Seems obvious enough that Reeve would come out on top. As the actor (currently) most associated with the role, it stands to reason that Welling would make a pretty decent showing for himself too. Let's face it though, it's pretty tough to compete with Reeve.

Still, what does it say about BJ's memorability that he can only barely outscore someone who hasn't played the role in about 15 years? I'll bet the Apologists are probably shocked at the results. If this was a poll more open to manipulation, they'd probably even claim foul play.

That's pretty much what happened with, I believe, a USA Today or USA Weekend or something Superman poll back in September'ish 2008. You can probably still find a link to it on the old Singerman Sucks blog. That poll started off with predictable results like the above and then, out of nowhere, the FOLC's got wind of it and repeatedly voted for Cain using library computers and other things. Cain went from being 4th or 5th on the list (at best) to nipping at Reeve's heels. The Apologists whined and complained, calling the FOLC's cheaters (and hey, if the shoe fits)...

... but then the Apologists turned around and pulled the same stunt themselves. Somehow Cain got ousted from the #2 slot by a "sudden outpouring of [BJ] support". This coincided with a post on [blandon]routh.com that "encouraged" members to "get out the vote". If I'm not much mistaken, Routh somehow won that poll in a "landslide" (he somehow fucking beat Reeve). Desperate for validation, I remember the more militant Apologists (MostPowerfulSolarisGayzer among them) citing the USA Today poll as proof that the public loveslovesloves BJ The Bartender, he should come back for the next movie no matter what, blah blah blah. Fuckin Apologists...

But somehow, BJ is getting left behind in this more honest facebook poll as Reeve is the CLEAR winner. Funny how plainly the results speak for themselves when the Apologists have to compete on the equal footing with everyone else, innit? As ever, that's what separates the men from the boys from the bartenders.

How about an update?

Christopher Reeve- 2,816
Dean Cain- 186
Tom Welling- 1,079
BJ The Bartender- 191

The only real surprise is that the Chris Reeve figure isn't even higher. If you'd asked yesterday, I would've thought he'd be somewhere in the 3,500's by now. But give it time.

But Cain is closing in on Blandon more and more all the time. An ignorant outsider would probably think Routh would place significantly higher than Cain just by virtue of being more recently associated with the role but (A) that ain't happening and (B) I think we all know why.

Thanks for that.

That's why Ruth is SUCH a dud. We're not the only ones who dislike his performance so much that people seem willing to vote AGAINST him just to keep him in last place. Wake up apologists.

Joke all you like man but you know as well as I do that several Apologists would trumpet this as the latest "achievement" for "2006's biggest star", how he's "giving something back to the fans", fuckin blah blah blah.

I'd still laugh.

I'll put this here since it involves the subjects of Smallville and Thor but it originated from duh Homopage. I was gonna try & see if I could read some comments about 'the hulking 200-lb. Bane' since Colors said they'd probably say that Nolan gets the 'essence' of the character with Tom Hardy's portrayal. I haven't found that yet but in looking briefly at their forums, I found a couple of 'nuggets' from one of their 'Administrators' by the name of HYPOXIC, who I thought just used to be a regular sheep on the site but apparently he's been 'promoted' (on his knees I guess). Anyway, in reference to Smallville, he states:

No, I don't like the show actually, so I'm indifferent to it ending.

When someone asked him why, here's his response:

I watched the entire first season, I believe, and most of the second. I didn't particularly care for it almost immediately. I did watch episodes here and there just to see if things had gotten better, but although I can see its appeal, it just didn't appeal to me.

Ultimately, I think it's taken an entirely ridiculous approach to the mythos, completely void of the substance and pathos that makes Superman great.

I'm sure there's much more in relation to Superman if I felt like researching it but you get the point. But get this! His stupidity doesn't stop with Superman. Read what he has to say about the Thor film:

Very likely going to wait for the DVD to see Thor, if at all.

But wait! He couldn't resist going ahead & seeing it anyway!:

So, I went to see it, despite my previous decision to wait.

It was, to be kind, utterly terrible.

I've never seen a superhero film so devoid of entertainment and so typical and disgustingly derivative in its plot. It's outstanding, indeed flabbergasting, that it's getting mostly positive reviews.

I rank this waste of resources up there with Daredevil.

But I bet you if I really researched this knuckle-dragger's comments, you'd find that he's a staunch Singerman supporter! I don't feel like digging into that right now but maybe later. Anyway, to him, Thor is a piece of crap film that he's scratching his head saying, how is this getting positive reviews?! But I bet you he considers Singerman a 'work of art'.

You tell me, once an apologist, always an apologist, right?! I guess it's like Keaton Bruce Wayne told Jack Joker in the '89 Batman film about the 'guy who couldn't see the train until it was 2 feet in front of him'. Or some such. Well, 'Hypoxic' just doesn't get it. My wife is not really a comics film fan & even she enjoyed Thor!

I guess the criteria for being an apologist is like having 'book-sense' but no common sense! I guess this just reminds me of why I got fed up with that crowd in the first place!
