sith on an island with superman

oohs and aahs. capital ship battles…x-wing-esque fighters, and big hairy wookies.

THE ISLAND
oh, and also check out igns set visit to the michael bay production the island, starring ewan mcgregor and scarlett johansson. think logans run meets um…matrix with a freaky medical/biological twist? it sounds interesting, so im game.

SMALLVILLE
one last interesting read. the ny times has a nice article about the rockin’ tv series smallville. the series has had a nice continuous run interweving elements from supermans storied past, most notably christopher reeves’ character. margot kidder also had a recurring role as well, but the article points out how her and the show had a dispute and they had parted ways. too bad. other notable guests (both mentioned and not) include lois lane (obviously), the flash, perry white, terence stamp (general zod) as the voice of jor-el, and hey…even mr. mxyzptlk, who was “a really hot foreign exchange student.” did i miss that episode?
