Allison Mack of Smallville was asked why the show was a success and she said, "I think its because the show has this American feel to it. A vibe of pro-America, and American values and all that stuff. Its a very traditional show." She gets it. Plus, she's really cute. ;-)
LOL! Just noticed, her quote includes "and all that stuff," like the contentious quote from Returns.
Smallville rocks in more than one way.
1934: Siegel & Shuster's original vision of Superman. |
1978: Superman movie pays homage to S & S vision. |
|
|
2001: Smallville television series "triumphantly rethinks an American classic" by keeping S & S colors while dropping tights, cape, and chest insignia. |
2006: Superman movie noirishly retrogrades to tights, cape, and chest insignia only to end up looking old school IMHO. |
