OzzBlog Friday 1/23/9

Ok, I’m more than a little upset that I had to miss Smallville last night due to some sort of technical difficulties with Channel 12, but luckily I will be able to watch it online soon at http://cwtv.com/cw-video/smallville.  Same goes for 13:Fear is Real if it’s not back on by tonight.

Fans curious about the origin of Tom and Jerry’s feud will be tickled to know your question will be answered in an upcoming movie about the cat-mouse adversaries, recently greenlit by Warner Bros. in the wake of the success of another flick about rodents.

  • The beloved Hanna-Barbera toon is in the scripting phase, Variety reports, and will tell the story of how the silent enemies/housemates met and began their legendary, often brutal feud. A combination of live action and CG will be used, with the lead characters animated.
