Dear the league of extremely ordinary gents and dames,

 

Many might forget that the first ninja turtles movie actually had a great noir theme to it, mainly reflecting on Raphael in his tan trench coat and top hat. It had a great underbelly feel to it and a darker side to it which made me fall in love with it. Do you think that TMNT should return to its darker roots, if so would you show up to it or do you even care about tmnt to begin with.

Hey Folks,

 

While a fan of noir I realize just what a fine edge it walks from passing the line from the cool into the asinine; the extremes of the genre lend themselves to both intentional & unintentional self-parody & satire quite easily. What (if any) cases of this happening has the League ran into & how do they think those crossings have effected the genre?

I haven't seen this, but it might fit your quota (utilizes footage from many film noir films, came out 1982).

Dear League Of Noir Gentlemen

 

An animation question this week. Who among you remembers Ralph Bakshi's short lived HBO anthology series Spicy City?

It only lasted 6 episodes but I wanted to know if anyone out there remembers it.

 

Thanks A lot, Your partner in crime TheDVDGrouch.

Dear LEOG,

what's the attraction of the noir genre? Is it the hardboiled characters? Moody settings? Intricate plots?

Sincerely,

C.H. Gorog

P.S. Leog is a keen whoopee
