I re-watched the honking, and I still didn't like it much. Funny, it used to be my favorite.
And I really liked "The Cryonic Woman"
And whats with all this That's Lobster-Tainment bashing? Thats one of my favorites.

Im with him. The four movies were the worst, but they were not episodes so I am going to go with Bend Her and Kif get Knocked up a Notch. And there, in the wilds of the internet is the elusive Futurama Movie-Hater. This creature knows nothing of comparison and vastly different styles. For him, every Futurama movie is the same absolute piece of trash that is inferior to every episode of the series, even I Dated A Robot or Obsolete Fabulous. So blinded by his nostalgia is he, that he won't even admit that possibly each movie should be rated differently and likely at least one movie will rank higher than an episode. Thank you for reading on tonight's Wild Kingdom.
No, not the movie hater. I would also like to say that there were good parts of every movie and a few of the "episodes" may not be that bad. My point being, after every movie I watched, I felt a sort of dissapointment, something I never felt after watching ANY of the episodes. Maybe I have a bias towards the episodes. As a futurama fan, waiting years for new material makes the letdown of movies hit me that much harder.

I know what you mean, stocker08. For the most part the movies as a whole were a disappointment. To wait 5 years (well, more like 1 and a half since rumors started cropping up around early 2006) for new episodes and to get mostly cut apart half stories was not an outcome I hoped for. I expected the very best the writers could do and they didn't totally deliver ( http://www.peelified.com/index.php?topic=17266.msg1021789#msg1021789). Still, I don't feel that all the movies are horrible. While I unabashedly hate TBWABB with a passion, I feel that bits of BBS and BG have the makings of great episodes in them. Taken as those two are I feel they at least match an "average" episode of Futurama (kinda hard to pick an average one to me, actually, but you get the idea). On the other hand, I absolutely love ITWGY. I think it's absolutely one of the best episodes the shows ever done. So whenever somebody says "the four movies were the worst" I get kinda defensive about it. I don't like ITWGY getting lumped in with the other three (and as I previously stated, I think that BBS and BG are at least decent.). stocker08, I'd like to hear your full thoughts on the movies. Would you mind writing reviews for them on the movie thread (when you have some time)? Link: http://www.peelified.com/Futurama-Forum-1/Topic-17266-0-What_is_your_favorite_Fut.html

Yeah, i guess it was a little unfair to clump all of the movies together as one. I could definitely go back and give the movies another watch. I will try to write up some reviews too with my pros and cons of each.

Yeah, Frisco's right--an adult would've said most fecal shit. Or at least shittiest feces. Don't they teach you anything in middle school?
And as far as the enjoyment of "Where No Fan Has Gone Before" goes: I have yet to see more than one episode of any of the various Star Trek incarnations, but that episode is indisputably hilarious. It's basically a send-up of geek culture in general (viewed in terms of Star Trek, of course), and I'm pretty sure most of us can relate to that.

I wasn't around for Nixon and I still love that one. Maybe I just know enought about history to get most of the jokes but even without them, Robot Nixon exploding through the flag is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Personally I love the "Now beat it! Before I get Cambodian on your asses!" line. I don't think you can make a stronger threat than that.

Bendless Love and The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz aren't my favorites. Though they both have their moments.

Personally, I don't care much for "A Leela of Her Own". I like the beginning of that episode (yay, Fry helps the foreign people!!), and there are some funny lines, as always. But yeah, that's probably my least favorite Futurama episode.
Also, "The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz" is another least-favorite episode. That episode didn't do much for me. But like CromagnonMan said, it definitely has its moments.
And by the way, I actually like "The Cryonic Woman". I love any episode that deals with the cryogenic lab and Fry's past. XD
"That's Lobstertainment" is funny, too. It isn't one of my favorites, but I like that episode.

The Honking is the only episode I don't get SOMETHING out of. Well, I get a bit out of Calculon being a were-car. But very little. Even the "average" eps of Futurama are pretty good.

Well, Bender's Game wasn't a favourite, like I haven't made it obvious enough, but looking back on the classic episodes recently, I can't really think that any of them are that bad. However, whilst I thought it was a good episode, and let's face it, you can put Zapp in any episode and it will be funny, but I think some of Where the Buggalo Roam was a little bit of a loss. It wasn't because of the relationship with Amy and Kif, because Amazon Women (Of course) and Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch were brilliant episodes, but I think it might be because Where the Buggalo Roam lacked something that those 2 did.

There were a few episodes I did not enjoy like "That's Lobstertainment" or "The Honking" or even "Insane In The Mainframe". But after watching it again... and again... they've started to grow on me. I guess I like all of the episodes Now, the movies on the other hand, that's another story
