MGM's Various Lions

One of the most notable and long standing movie company logos is MGM's Lion. The lion is even nicknamed 'Leo the Lion' but did you know there were different lions throughout the years?



Slats was used from 1924-1928. He died 1938 after being able to be seen in studio tours.



Jackie was used from 1928–1956. Jackie was also the first MGM lion whose roar (which was more likely a number of soft growls) was heard by audiences of the Silent Film Era - via a gramophone record.


This is Tanner, the one I liked the most--the only one I was truly afraid of. Used 1938-1956, most frequently used throughout the 'Golden Age of Hollywood'.


This one was used through 1957 to 1983, the one I remember the most, probably due to Tom & Jerry.


This unnamed lion has been used since 1982 to present, the logo itself since 1987. There have been many variations. Check it out.

Sansgiving Treat: Channing Tatum

A 'Sansgiving' treat for my primita Christy.


'Sansgiving' is the deplorable way some Latinos pronounce Thanksgiving.



More Goodies: Channing Tatum 'Steps up'

Disney actually invited a Sentai castmember to DisneyWorld!

Let me catch all of you to speed...
Disney owns Power Rangers.
Power Rangers originally comes from Japan, a 30 year old enterprise known as 'Super Sentai.'

The current series in the U.S. Power Rangers Mystic Force was Magiranger in 2005, while this year's Boukenger will become Power Rangers Operation Overdrive in 2007.

Magiranger (2005) = Mystic Force (2006)
Boukenger (2006) = Operations Overdrive (2007)

Now, you would think Disney would not give a flying Dumbo about the series of origin or the former stars of said series. But to my surprise, one of the former stars of Magiranger, Ayumi Beppu (Who portrayed Houka Ozu/Magi Pink) was invited to Disneyworld to participate in a parade (unknown which one or the significance) and got to be with the costumed Power Rangers of MGM studios and her counterpart the Pink Mystic Force Ranger. Unfortunately she couldn't take pics. What makes one wonder is why they invited her and what for.

Click to see her blog that is in Japanese Kanji.


Bascially here is a rough translation:
"pawaa renjaa
Do you guys know what this is? I'm sending a post from Disney World. I posed alongside Magi Pink, Mickey, Ariel and Stitch. Like do you guys wonder why? That's righ, even overseas the glory of Magiranger is shown on TV screens as a remake. This remake is not airing in Japan but I had chances of seeing it on video several times. There's many differences between Magiranger and PRMF, after all it's just a remake but I think it's very interesting. Power Rangers seems to be extremely popular and active here overseas. It's a shame there wasn't a chance of me being photographed.. me along side costumed Deka Red (Red SPD Ranger), Abare Killer (White Dino Ranger). So I felt like a princess (as you can tell by her animation). I must return home so soon in 3 days... the top photo is me trying to imitate Mickey with Apple ears hehe."

Bravo Nip/Tuck for cameos


Kudos to Nip/Tuck for having cameos of Christian's ex-lovers. Of course, it was Christian's mind playing tricks on him. He imagined his ex-lovers in his apartment. Rebecca Gayheart came back as Natasha Charles, a blind girlfriend in season 2. Also, Abby (Rebecca Metz) the infamous 'bag lady' who Christian put a paper bag over her head as he needed twisted consolation because he thought Kimber left him at the alter. Of course, Kimber was haunting him as well. Abby was the most venenosa.

Unknown Hotties of the Week 11/20-Gobble Gobble

I thought of having Native-American actors, athletes and such in honor of Thanksgiving, the only holiday where they sightly remembered and the slaughter is overlooked but couldn't found truly handsome ones. I go every week with finding scrumptiously ones anyway so why not use them.

Chase Budinger
Ginger-blonde Arizona 6'8" basketball player. Picture from the Sports Illustrated.

He's 18 and somewhat promising athlete but he is not surprisingly modest.




Spencer Hawes
He is 18 also and a freshman in University of Washington.

His uncle (who was in the NBA as well) and father also played for the university. He couldn't get recruited for the NBA this year because of a new rule.

Picture from the Sports Illustrated as well.


John Reardon
Actor has been the boy of interest in White Chicks and was in Scary Movie 4. He was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

He played Jack in the mini-series Merlin's Apprentice. He is 31 years old and was a college football player for Mount Allison University in Canada from 1993-1997.
