—Before she was Lois Lane, Amy Adams guest starred on Smallville's seventh episode, "Craving".
One of Tom Welling's first roles was on Judging Amy, which clearly prepared him for this scene.

al things considered — when i post my masterpiece #1099
first posted in facebook august 6, 2022
this is the 1099th in my "when i post my masterpiece" series:
sam messer -- "underwood" (2017)
"i know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, i'll go to it laughing" ... herman melville
"i've been making paintings of the typewriter for over 20 years now and i think that in this show particularly, i think if anyone looks at them they realize you know they can see the form but i think intuitively they understand that it just starts to speak to the moment we are in ... at least hopefully that's my goal, right? where things are hard to put language together, hard to communicate, hard, you know, things are breaking down, yet we are trying to maintain something" ... sam messer
"for some, a typewriter is an antiquated piece of machinery, akin to a rotary telephone. it predates digital technologies and relies on forcefully tapping the keys. writing on a typewriter is much different than using a computer. it is hardly silent and often associated with a succession of loud clicks. in addition, one must insert a piece of paper to receive the ink, making the typing of numerous pages a laborious process" ... jody zellen
"i know not all that may be laughing, but be that as it may, i'll go to it faffing" ... al janik

sansa, an english and history girlie, analyzing stannis baratheon’s campaign for mayor at three am in her and arya’s shared room until arya (rightfully) throws something at her and making english teachers cry with her essays and tying ribbons around her jbl headphones because catelyn laughed at her for fifteen minutes straight when she asked for airpods and winning all of her high schools debate competitions until one day, she is faced with margaery tyrell, somehow the only person ever to have out pretentious-ed her, clad in doc martens and a thrifted brandy melville lace cami and carrying a russian original of dostoëvsky’s the idiot in her shakespeare and company tote bag, and sansa violently chokes on the gatorade in her no name water bottle (sansa claims she uses it because the stanley cup exemplifies the hell that is our consumerist dystopia when in reality, catelyn took one look at the price tag of the cup on sansa’s wishlist and started laughing hysterically).
and arya watches that disaster go down then and once more two weeks later and sits her sister down with the lesbian masterdoc, good naturedly patting her on the head and leaving to the stables to teach the clinically insane palfrey uncle benjen bought for her for like ten dragons some damn half passes. the steed’s name is mustard and arya threatens to flay him at least once daily and he headbutts her in response each time. and while sansa goes through a complete mental breakdown realizing that, shit, margaery tyrell is hot, and making some long overdue sense of her feelings about jodie comer, arya holds onto the pommel strap of her truly ancient thrifted devocoux hunter saddle for dear fucking life while mustard tries to leave the known universe. when she dismounts, one of her saddle’s knee rolls has crumpled to dust and the only diagonals her demon of her horse has done were ones that ended with holes in the arena walls, but arya is confident they’ll be at gp level in no time.
and sansa’s in a pile of lesbian denial in front of an episode of the happiest season when arya comes home. and arya goes to the bathroom to get her a tissue and some micellar water because sansa’s mascara is fucked, for lack of a better word, only to see that rickon and bran have managed set the sink on actual fucking fire.

Amy Adams???? Girl, what are you doing in Buffy; good to see you. Though if I can be honest, I do prefer Jodi Melville of Smallville to cousin Beth here.

The impact of Le Samouraï (1967) can be traced to the present day and this post by Tumblr user @cum-rade
In this essay I will outline the series of events leading the creation of the above post and the lasting effects of Le Samouraï on modern culture.

June 1967 A time traveler* burns down the studio attempting to end production
October 1967 Release in the France
1972 dubbed release in the USA titled as The Godson to capitalize from The Godfather's Success
1972 Arthur Bremer's relationship ends, quits his job, plans to assassinate Richard Nixon or George Wallace, and ultimately shoots George Wallace while posing as a supporter and living out of his car
April 1975 Vietnam War ends
1975 Paul Schrader writes the script for Taxi Driver, inspired by assassination attempts and Le Samouraï while living out of his car
Summer 1975 Taxi Driver has begun filming
September 1975 Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme of the Manson Cult attempts to assassinate President Gerald Ford
February 1976 Taxis Driver is released staring Robert De Niro, Cybill Shepherd, & (child) Jodie Foster and directed by Martin Scorsese
Break for Taxi Driver Rundown (spoilers)
Robert De Niro plays Travis Bickle a lonely, mentally ill, white, male Vietnam War vet who drives a taxi
Travis thinks the world is a dirty horrible place that somebody should clean up
Travis says the iconic line "We live in a society"*
Travis is infatuated with Betsy (played by Cybill Shepherd)
Travis goes on a few dates with Betsy
Betsy breaks up with Travis because he brings her to a pornographic theater
Travis deletes Facebook, hits the gym, and lawyers guns up
Travis attempts to assassinate a political candidate while posing as a supporter
Travis gets away cleanly
Travis kills a bunch of pimps to save a sex trafficking victim named Iris (played by Jodie Foster)
Travis puts a gun to his head and pulls the trigger
Travis is celebrated as a hero
Timeline Continued
John Hinckley Jr. watches Taxi Driver (1976) at least 15 times
Hinckley becomes infatuated with 14 year old Jodie Foster
1980 Hinckley moves to Connecticut to stalk Jodie Foster

2007 The Walker, directed by Paul Schrader is released as the final installment of Schrader's list of movies based on Taxi Driver
2011 Drive inspired by Le Samouraï staring Ryan Gosling is released
That greentext where Anon pretends to be Ryan Gosling's character in Drive takes place
2016 Hinckley is released from psychiatric care
2019 Joker, (which is the same movie as Taxi Driver) is released staring Robert De Niro who's brains are blown out on screen
Joker meme culture captivates lonely males
2020 a ruling allows Hinckley to showcase his artistic work under his own name
2022 all restrictions on Hinckley are lifted
2023 Tumblr user posts about Hinckley's artwork
Le Samouraï is the basis of the Loner Male movie genre and lead to Ronald Reagan being shot. You can continue the legacy of Le Samouraï by missing the point of of the genre. Do toxic masculinity, it's very cool* and you can be just like Arthur Bremer, Travis Bickle, John Hinckley Jr., and Mr. The Joker.

Smallville 1x07 – Hambre
No recordaba para nada que Amy Adams actuara en la serie. Bueno, es bueno ver a una de las actuales versiones de Luisa Lane, pero creo que el papel que le tocó aquí no fue el mejor.
Sinceramente este episodio tampoco fue de mi total agrado. El tema que trata es muy humano: una chica con sobrepeso que se somete a dietas malsana es algo con la que muchas mujeres que sufrimos sobrepeso nos identificamos. El problema es que la ejecución nos fue la mejor, creo yo. Me parece que fue demasiado desagradable el efecto secundario que le pusieron de desear grasa corporal de otros. Da asco, la verdad.
Ya sabemos que los que se someten a los meteoritos sufren severos trastornos mentales, pero es evidente que aquí Jodi no era una mala persona y que luchó contra sus instintos homicidas. Eso ya la hace mejor que los otros “villanos” de turno, por llamarla de alguna forma. No creo que Jodi fuera una villana; si a caso fue una trágica víctima de las circunstancias.
También me gustó que se enfocaran un poco más en Pete y mostraran que el chico es buena gente y no se deja guiar por las apariencias.
También fue genial que Lex y Chloe por fin se conocieran personalmente y hablaran. Este par también tendrá una historia que contar a lo largo de la serie.
El tema de Lana y su fiesta, bueno, Clark iba a desesperarme otra vez por ser tan… Clark. Lo bueno es que esta vez se las ingenió para darle un lindo y memorable regalo de cumpleaños. Me gustó esa escena final en el autocinema.
Sólo me pregunto si este doctor Hamilton está relacionado con Emil Hamilton.
No el mejor episodio y según mucha gente no ha envejecido bien por el tema de la gordura y eso; cosa que honestamente no entiendo, porque yo empaticé bastante con Jodi, pero bueno. Tampoco puedo decir que lo disfruté del todo.
6/10
***Las expresiones de Martha cuando Clark le pide a Lana ser su escolta en su fiesta son hilarantes. Ay, las madres son una belleza.

You know, it’s not perfect, but the Smallville episode Craving is actually a really good condemnation of fatphobia, especially for something that came out in 2001.
Throughout the episode Jodi’s father consistently expresses concern over his daughter’s disordered eating and insists that she’s fine just as she is. The last time we see him (he’s not present for the climax and afterward we are just told secondhand he’s on the way to the hospital to meet Jodi) he suggests they take Jodi to a therapist and says he just wants her to be able to look in the mirror and be happy.
We see Pete and Chloe have a conversation with Jodi before the kryptonite-induced weight loss starts, and they treat her just like a normal person. In particular, Jodi is working on a scrapbook of outfit inspiration for an upcoming party, cutting out a supermodel wearing a bikini when they approach. The idea that the fat girl wants to wear a bikini appears to be so normal to them that it’s not worth commenting upon or even really noticing.
Later in the conversation some guys make fun of Jodi for her weight and Pete (her romantic interest for the episode) tells them to back off, then chases after Jodi when she runs off upset.
When Jodi begins loosing weight rapidly due to the kryptonite (50+ pounds in a few days) Clark, Pete, Chloe, and Jodi’s dad all react with concern, and she is asked by different people on multiple occasions if she’s sick. The only one who treats the weight loss as a positive is one of the guys who had made fun of her earlier and is unambiguously portrayed as a jerk.
There are numerous indications that Pete’s attraction to Jodi has nothing to do with her weight loss. In addition to the standing up for her as mentioned earlier, Pete doesn’t comment on her weight loss outside of asking after her health; the one time he does compliment her appearance it’s to tell her her *dress* is beautiful; Jodi is the one to ask him out, indicating the change in their relationship is because her surge in self-confidence not because Pete is suddenly attracted to her because she lost weight; and Jodi still noticeably has a double-chin when she asks Pete to the party and Pete is so bowled over with excitement he forgets how to speak.
Jodi is never treated as shallow for her desire to be skinny, nor is she ever villainized for her actions, even at the end when she attacks Pete (after desperately trying to make him leave) and Clark when he comes to rescue Pete. She is shown to be a good person who is struggling with very real and serious issues.
The episode shows, albeit in supernatural fashion, how her disordered eating seriously messes with her body and physical health. It ends, as implied above, with her having to go to the hospital to receive treatment for her condition.
The episode also pulls no punches in showing how being made fun of and belittled for being fat messes with her mental health. There’s an outburst from Jodi about how tired she is of counting calories and keeping meticulous diaries of everything she eats so she can feel guilty for having one extra grape. She also says of the guy who mocked her that he thought it was funny to say mean things to her and make her cry and “wish [she] was dead rather than fat.” The episode ends with her catching her reflection during her fight with Clark, declaring herself a freak, and attempting to commit suicide. (Rest assured, Clark does save her, and while it’s not explicitly stated, given her father’s behavior throughout the episode, it seems very likely she got the help she needed for her mental health struggles as well.)
So, yeah. I think it’s easy to get bogged down in the bad special effects and fat make-up and the rather cheesy “fat-sucking vampire” line, but I do think the episode does an overall pretty good job with these issues. Jodi Melville, Amy Adam’s best Superman related role, and you cannot change my mind.

Okay, so because of the whole “the 3rd UK tour cast extending their run by a few days because the 4th cast is in quarantine, but Vicki’s still leaving on her predetermined date” thing, we’re going to be having a cover Howard for the last few shows. The question is, who will it be?
Harriet is currently the only swing in the 3rd cast who knows the role and is available, so it’ll probably be her, although there is a possibility it could end up being someone else seeing how Howard is her 3rd cover. So, other than Harriet, who could possibly cover Howard for these last few shows? In my opinion, if it’s not Harriet then it will probably be one of the West End swings, but let’s look at all of our options:
Third Cover
Harriet Watson
On the West End
Danielle Rose, Esme Rothero, Rachel Rawlinson, Roxanne Couch
Available
Georgia Carr, Sophie Isaacs, Alicia Corrales-Connor, Hana Stewart, Sadie Hurst
Doesn’t know the role, but could be in the process of learning
Cassandra Lee, Cherelle Jay, Paisley Billings
In quarantine
Jaina Brock-Patel, Bryony Duncan, Jennifer Caldwell, Natalie Pilkington, Harriet Caplan-Dean, Leesa Tulley, Grace Melville
In rehearsals for & Juliet
Collette Guitart, Zara MacIntosh
Might still be on the ship
Artemis Chrisoulakis, Liv Alexander, Elizabeth Walker, Ellie Sharpe
Busy with a show
Aimie Atkinson, Tsemaye Bob-Egbe, Maddison Firth, Grace Mouat, Jodie Steele, Abigail Heilman, Channing Weir
Been too long/Probably too rusty
Annabel Marlow, Rebecca Wickes, Lori McLare, Courtney Stapleton, Sophie-Rose Middleton, Emily Harrigan
On another continent
Samantha Pauly, Courtney Monsma, Brianna Mooney, Chelsea Dawson, Didi Romero, Courtney Mack, Mallory Maedke, Keirsten Hodgens, Ashlee Waldbauer, Cassie Silva, Kelly Taylor, Erin Ramirez, Kelsee Sweigard, Alize Ke’Aloha Cruz, Sunayna Smith
