under your thumb i'm not that dumb so hit the bricks

Everyone hates you, go away.

[Reply #321 on:]

Strong words from a guy who spent so much time talking about how he thought everyone hated him for the longest time.

Have you become what you once hated?

[Reply #322 on:]

I didn't realize you were married.  Congratulations!

People around here still do, I believe.

Huh? Who is? Danny?

Danny, repeat to yourself: people do not hate you.  I think this thinking might come with being a teen, but I hope you outgrow it.

I am going to start my next Futurama Trailer. This time I promise to make sure that a non-arbitrary volume level is utilized. I will be doing Prometheus or The Dark Knight Rises. I'm more set with Prometheus because of it's trailer, but what do you guys think?

[Reply #326 on:]

Prometheus is much better than Dark Knight, so I say go with that.

[Reply #327 on:]

Finished! You guys are gonna love this one! I'll post a link once I upload it...


I also posted it in the Youtube Thread, but since I already made this post it's pardonable.

Here you go!

[Reply #328 on:]

They're both only okay really...

[Reply #329 on:]

Prometheus always had a "Star Trek movie" like falir to me: Like a TV double episode on a higher budget. Okay to be watched,  but always bearing a certain mood as if being a tad underdimensioned for the big screen.

That was actually quite well-made.

Good job.

[Reply #331 on:]

Thank you! I was trying to make this my best one yet, and I have a feeling it just might be!

[Reply #332 on:]

Pretty good, SGB.

[Reply #333 on:]

Quite fitting scenes, well done

[Reply #334 on:]

If I buy Futurama Vol. 7 Blu-Ray, will it come with a non Blu-Ray disc for my Mom's house?

[Reply #335 on:]

I doubt it.

Is it out in the US yet? There's still 2 more days for Australia.

That was actually pretty awesome.  DannyJC13 is pretty cool.

[Reply #337 on:]

Wow, It's really cool done! If you view a trailer like this no one will ever suspect it's a comedy serie xD

[Reply #338 on:]

Hi everyone. I'm new here, and I've been a huge Futurama Fan for the past few years. My favorite episode is the prestigious "The Late Philip J Fry". I don't have any skills that I can utilize to express my fan-liness (Instead of manliness) for Futurama. However, I hope I have some latent talents for that extensive purpose.

[Reply #339 on:]

Anecdote tangentially related to Futurama: I tweeted at Eric Rogers today, and he tweeted back at me. The whole thing kind of made me feel like Danny--which is to say, it was weird. But also kind of neat, I suppose, in a dorky way.

[Reply #340 on:]

Why is your anecdote only tangentially related to Futurama, though? Did this limited-character communication of yours have nothing to do with the show, or is this a jab at Eric Rogers?

[Reply #341 on:]

The communication itself was as follows:



I would not want to speak ill of Mr. Rogers, seeing as how he called me his friend (the girl in this body with this Twitter handle has a friend!)--so I guess, in answer to your question, I misspoke. Our brief online interaction was overtly about Futurama; however, it was not the content of our 140-character-or-less conversation that I found noteworthy--but merely the fact that we conversed at all.

[Reply #342 on:]

Gorky can I stalk follow you on Twitter?

[Reply #343 on:]

But of course! I just followed you, using the nifty link in your PEEL profile, so feel free to follow me back. I try not to tweet too much because I think it looks flashy--but when I do, I enjoy it (the same probably cannot be said for the people following me, but no matter).

Anyway, topic: I watched "Fun on a Bun" yesterday, and though I was in kind of a pissy mood that may have been affecting my enjoyment of the episode, I was a bit disappointed to find that it was not as great as I had remembered it. I mean, it wasn't bad, but I guess I had built it up in my head as the high point of season seven--so I was disappointed when it failed to meet those (perhaps unfair) expectations. Oh well...

[Reply #344 on:]

Episodes tend to even out with repeated views, whether you liked them or hated them. I remember despising A Clone of my Own when it first came out, but now I've seen it so many times, I'm simply indifferent to it.

[Reply #345 on:]

I felt that same thing about season six.  Much better now.

[Reply #346 on:]

I was at the mall with my friends yesterday and we walked into FYE (Video/Audio Store). On the "Top Selling DVD's Rack" was Futurama Vol. 7 as #1. That's good news, and I'm expecting renewal due to how lucrative the show has been.

[Reply #347 on:]

I wish they sold futurama dvd's in my country:( My opinion on most eps in season 7 change all the time as well, at first I just hated 31st century fox... Now it ain't that bad, the opposite with naturama. You just spot more details and have more focus on the story after a few more viewings i guess

[Reply #348 on:]

I wish they sold futurama dvd's in my country:(

German Amazon should deliver to the Netherlands.

[Reply #349 on:]

Thanks! But they don't accept IDeal and since no one at my houses owns a creditcard... I wanted that calender so bad:(

[Reply #350 on:]

Woo, first post of 2013 in this thread!

Anyway, I've just realised something. Without even noticing it, I've been tying episodes from 7A to episodes from 6B based on what I thought of them. Example:

"Viva Mars Vegas" being the "Cold Warriors" of the season: an episode I loved immensely from the first viewing, but seem to be alone in that opinion.

"Fun on a Bun" being the "Reincarnation" of the season: the episode that I found to be the best, despite enjoying others more.

"Near-Death Wish" being the "Tip of the Zoidberg" of the season: an episode that I liked originally, but it seems to get worse on each viewing.

"Zapp Dingbat" being the "Law and Oracle" of the season: an episode that I liked quite a lot in spite of a few shortcomings.

"31st Century Fox" being the "Mobius Dick" of the season: a solid episodes that house only a few minor nitpicks.

"The Six Million Dollar Mon" being the "Overclockwise" of the season: an episode that is almost perfect until the end, where it loses some greatness.

"The Bots and the Bees" being the "Silence of the Clamps" of the season: an episode that I liked, but didn't love.

"The Butterjunk Effect" being the "All the Presidents' heads" of the season: an episode that was just all-round average.

"Decision 3012" being the "Benderama" of the season: an episode that I liked, but always forget about.

"A Farewell to Arms" being the "Ghost in the Machines" of the season: an episode that had a great premise and was turned into a disappointment thanks to a crappy ending.

Nothing in 7A was as bad as "Yo Leela Leela" or "Neutopia" for me, so they can stay out. And the remaining episodes are ones that I can't really tie to another for some reason.

Does anyone else do this, or am I weird?

[Reply #351 on:]

Over break I got to watch all of the new episodes, but I didn't liken them to the previous season's story lines. Viva Mars Vegas was definitely my favorite of the season and I second your feeling of immediately liking it as I also did Cold Warriors. Also over break my aunt deposited a DVD of some horrible children's show called "BoohBah" at my house, which my daughter discovered in the top of the trash and retrieved. She loaded it into the DVD player and immediately became sucked in, further cementing my own appreciation of Yo Leela Leela.

As to episodes that seem to get better with repeat viewings, I really found that The Six Million Dollar Mon escalated in esteem after watching it a couple of times, especially after listening to the commentary as well. The commentary also made me feel better about Calculon's temporary demise.

[Reply #352 on:]

I actually found 'Neutopia' a pretty good episode, it was kinda weird and that's just what I like:3 But on the onther point I agre with URL. The only thing is that I found cold warriors WAY better than Viva Mars Vegas, tough I liked Zoidberg's singing xD "A big lobster, take a little bath with meee" (not sure if I typed that right)

Also, I made a little video of Fry and Leela(I was bored) Check it out maybe?:3 I found there were too less of those with season 7 included...

[Reply #353 on:]

Wow, the awesomeness of 7A is starting to wear off on me. I'm lusting for new episodes already. Thus belongs the devastating reprieve in my heart from the show that runs my Summer. 6 months to go guys.

Also any news on when we shall learn about a renewal? I know it's potent, but it's not exactly confirmed yet.

... After watching that, I've scheduled a stop for a memory enema.

Taylor Swift has to be one of the worst choices for a Fry/Leela music video. Especially her early songs which were about young, naive love sugared with bubblegum-pop and rolled into a country-Southwestern Egg Roll.

Is there a site where you can set up personal timers? It's almost pointless visiting PEEL daily during the "dead" periods. I'd rather receive a reminder on the 1st of February notifying me to check whether or not Futurama's dead.

Hmm, you got a point there... I'm not a really big fan of Taylor Swift as well but I tought the song was pretty sweet:3

I guess you just have to visit often to see if it's dead or the other thing...

[Reply #356 on:]

I hear you, mister Solid gold Bender. I keep checking up on CC. They already annonced a couple show's renewal, so I guess Futurama's turn is near.

Those months are gonna be long. At least Spartacus begins airing at the end of this month ! That'll make me a bit more patient...

[Reply #357 on:]

Puh, damn comedy central announces season 7A as a new season in Holland. It didn't aired here before, so I finally get so see it in HD:3
So no news over here unfortunately, I guess we all just have to wait for that live thing on the 15th... IF someone records the whole thing

[Reply #358 on:]

I guess if it hasn't aired there yet, it's still technically new...like how season 6b is 'new' here in the UK. 

[Reply #359 on:]

huh? Well that's pretty awkward, how come we are one season ahead of the UK but the UK does sell Futurama stuff and we don't? I mean, if there are less fans here you'd expect to have much less futurama here and that we should be way behind...
