Madness Mark was mind-raped by Xavier: Renegade Angel (and enjoyed it)

Xavier is a very hard character to explain (at least physically). In short, he is a mystic, hairy, six-nippled, blonde, beaked freak with a snake for an arm and knees that bend in the opposite direction. Much like David Carradine in Kung-Fu, Xavier travels the land to impart his spiritual knowledge to others, whether they want his help or not. However, his ramblings usually end up making things worse. And… Continue

Leon Reviews "SATURDAY MORNING CARTOONS: 1960s Vol. 2" DVDs

It was only a few weeks ago that I was reviewing the 1970’s collection of Peanuts TV Specials when the first thing pop up on the screen was an advertisement for this ‘Saturday Morning Cartoons 1960s Vol. 2 ‘DVD collection. I felt a twinge of pity (and some schaedenfreud) for the poor bastard who’d have to sit through f… Continue

My Heros Have Always Been Cowboys...Spacemen....Or Clowns

Recently on LEOG, we've had a very spirited discussion on cartoon shows. A lot of ground got covered but mostly from the 1970's to now. I have to admit that the 1960's were a deluge of Hanna Barbara. But what I'd like to show all you hip kids out there are some of the show I used to watch as a kid outside the range of your average half hour cartoon show. These shows were locally produced with the exception of Captain Kangaroo and were hosted by adults playing characters. The last show I remember… Continue

Madness Mark’s ‘late’ review of GI Joe, The Movie

Back in the 1980’s, Hasbro was the leader in half-hour toy commercials disguised as cartoons. Those commercials were Transformers, GI Joe, and My Little Pony. Argue all you want, the bottom line with these shows was to sell toys. While I find that logic of marquee value a bit shameful, I found GI Joe more tolerable. Sure, it didn’t have the coolest to… Continue

G.I.Joe Unfaithful?

I think faithfulness is very important because im tired of hollywood screwing up comic book characters like venom, galactus, and deadpool just so they can say "oh hey we know we screwed up so lets make a spin off movie where we can get the characters right and milk more money from the fans". However if the director can make it work like with Iron Man or Watchmen or even The Dark Knight then i'll have no problem with it. Very rarely i will accept huge changes like transformers for example (which… Continue

The 10 Greatest Cartoon Theme Songs [Part 2]

And we're back from commercial break. So, we left off at number five and we've already had some great themes on our hands. Our last entry was Daxter's Lab and I told you we hadn't seen the last of Genndy... 5. Samurai Jack Were I simply going based on the shows themselves Samurai Jack would have made it much lower on the list at number one or two. The show itself was absolutely brilliant. It featured talented voice work by Phil LaMarr, one of the best VA's out there. It was at on… Continue

Bad Movie Remakes are Gateway Drugs

I don't like watching bad movies. But sometimes you find a way to make them work to your advantage. Example one: Wanted.

My sister-in-law got The DVD for Christmas and insisted I watch it with her since she found out it was based on a comic (me being a geek and all). In… Continue

Good Anime WITHOUT School Girls, Ninjas, or Giant Robots

Anime has always gotten a bad wrap since it poked it's giant saucer-eyed face into the mainstream. And it's not hard to understand why considering the majority of it seems to duplicate the content over and over again. I use to be huge into Anime when I was in high school, but once I got to college I realized that most of it was garbage. However, having swam way through all that garbage, there were a few gems among the coal I fished out. I've compiled a list of some of the best Anime movies I've… Continue

Superman - Doomsday movie review (Spoilers)

(Spoilers.) A few days ago, I managed to get my hands on an animated movie called "Superman: Doomday." It's pretty obvious what the movie is about to those who read Superman comics or read comics in general. Superman dies and comes back to life. It's a good 75 minute movie, but there is plenty of things they left out that really bothered me. The first thing the bothered me was that they didn't have any of the Justice League heroes trying to stop Doomsday. Instead of heroes for Doomsday to fight… Continue

Looney Tunes go "Splatter" in London exhibition

We all remember those cartoons in which Elmer would shoot Daffy and his beak would turn around, or a piano would fall on Tom and he would get out of it with little stars circling his head. But what if they actually showed the blood that would be the consequence of said actions? Th… Continue

New Heroine call Dreamgirl.?? I shall be the judge of that.

So I was checking the tv schedule to set up my vcr to tape the next episode of LOS (short for Legion Of Superheroes) when I heard of a appearance of a new superheroine call Dream Girl. My first reaction was, dream Girl.. isn't it too selfish to call herself Dream Girl? When one heards the expression Dream Girl, I think of the most beautiful girl ever imagine. In other words the Perfect woman. I saw a picture of her in the comics but she was not exactly the girl I dream of. So on saturday night I… Continue
