Title: For those who are not aware *for futurama fans only*
Post by: Randamo on September 29, 2007, 05:52:15 PM
That the cancelled show futurama is comin on back!
anyway, we've got 4 telemovies split up into 16 episodes.
The first one is: Benders big score.
Plot follows:
•   When the evil naked aliens launch a cyber-attack on Planet Express, they make a shocking discovery: the secret of time travel, mysteriously tattooed on Fry's buttocks. Using their devious nudist software to control Bender, they repeatedly send the beer-fueled robot back in time to loot Earth of its greatest treasures. Bender's rampage through history has shocking repercussions when he encounters Al Gore (guest-starring as himself) during the 2000 Presidential recount. Meanwhile, Leela finds true love, a beloved crew member suffers an embarrassing decapitation, and Fry learns deep secrets about his destiny and his buttocks.

And yeah, we've got guest stars:
Al Gore, Mark Hamill(LUKE), Rapper Coolio(who?), Sarah Silverman, Tom Kenny.

Excited? The first four are coming out on 27 November:

Been waiting a long time for this.  Watching the old episodes still never gets old, especially the one where they crashed on Amazonia.

what exactly was the ending for futurama, cant remember exactly
Title: Re: For those who are not aware *for futurama fans only*
Post by: Randamo on October 02, 2007, 08:36:53 PM
it was the 'devils hand are idle playthings' where fry gets the robot devils hand so he can play the holophoner, previously in the one where fry got worms, he won leela's heart with how well he could play and with these hands, he can do that.
he makes an opera and its about leela but the devil takes his hands back and fry cant play anymore, so everyone leaves and as fry is about to leave as well, leela asks him not to stop playing and wants to see the end.
he plays and it's kinda crummy music and graphics where leela and fry kiss and then hold hand and walk into the distance.
awww, thats so sweet. best ending ever.
although our screaming at the screen going 'nooo, you cant end' sort of delayed the sweeetness till the second time i watched it.

Not even being reminded of Seymours tragic end can put a damper on this for me! I love futurama too much. Ff only the real Nixon had been more like his Futurama counterpart, the world would be a more fun place.

I've seen Benders Big Score, and i believe it was ok.  Albeit there are some places in which it could be improved (like towards the end with Santa-bot) but you can say this about most things. 
 
I seriously reccomend watching this if your a furturama fan, the canon of the storyline fits perfectly within the series.

i want to avoid all spoilers please. refrain from making plot outlines or any inside jokes. it hurts, because i have to wait so long.
personally, i cant wait to see what happens with fry and leela, why zoidberg suddenly has money (as used in the last episode) and whether bender is still as great as ever. its gonna be great.

I bought it the day it came out and watched EVERYTHING it had to offer (all extras, commentary, etc).


It's more Futurama. If you love Futurama, you will enjoy the movie. I love it.

oh, i just want to know one thing. is it a satisfying ending? or does it just end? i know those guys made a good ending with the tv show.

It's a decent enough ending, but it also ended in a way that was basically like, "PS THERE ARE MORE MOVIES AFTER THIS ONE."

Anyway, I liked it.  :ehail:

Benders Big Score just aired here tonight. It was truly epic considering that Futurama has been cancelled for a few years now. Made me realize even moreso how tired The Simpsons have been in X amount of years. Futurama still feels fresh and new and yet is still cancelled - My god, why?? O.o


Matt Groening showed some respect for Family Guy too. There was a brief scene in which Fry nailed up a Family Guy calendar on the wall. Interesting to see that.

Actually Matt's a big fan of Family Guy, the writers for the Simpsons on the other hand....

been a while since i've said anything, but i've also got the beast with a billion backs.
it's not until later in the movie you get that joke. Truly a disgusting movie this one. I watched the commentary and even they were grossed out.

mostly sexual innuendo that just is gross.
well, the movie villian [or something like that] is really just this perverted creature mating with everyone in the universe by its tenatcles. Fry becomes high preist to that thing, and stuff comes out from the creature via him. it's been a while since i've seen it, but some things i remember are that people don't have to go the bathroom anymore because the creature takes care of it. Kif dies and Zapp accidently eats some his goo splattered all over the room. Fry also gets involved in some sort of relationship with a girl where he has to share her with her other 4 boyfriends and anyone else who wants to date her. stuff like that. I'm just not a fan of that kind of humour.
