The DVD commentary for Bender's Big Score reveals that a movie website exists, www.ilovebender.com  (named after Bender's email address in the movie).  Looks like it's just up, not much there yet, but has wallpapers, screenshots, and a 'widget' to embed in your blog.  Looks like a game will eventually be up as well.

[Reply #364 on:]

Hee. Great stuff, although bandwidth clogging.

Plus, I looked through the gallery and found something shippy!

I am easily amused.

[Reply #365 on:]

Hahaha, what?

[Reply #368 on:]

Actually, they're not bad.

[Reply #369 on:]

Nice site, I dig it. They did pretty well...

[Reply #370 on:]

As soon as I see the movie, I'm going to that website.  Oh, and does anyone know (I doubt it) when the other Futurama movies are coming out?  I know the other movies are due next year, however, anyone know any dates yet?

[Reply #371 on:]

No dates, but they say the next one is spring, which probably means first quarter 2008, which means april.

[Reply #372 on:]

That website is cool, it makes me not be able to wait for the dvd even more.  Quit tempting and teasing me!

Dunno if this is a spoiler but leela's third wedding? And who's it to? It said on the website 'will leela find true love?...

[Reply #374 on:]

[Reply #375 on:]

David X Cohen talks about Bender's Big Score

[Reply #379 on:]

There's now an article online on Wired.com about the new Futurama movie. I don't know if the article online will be the same as in the article that will be released tomorrow.

   

Originally on WIRED:
Groening dreamed up several of the main characters, such as Fry, Leela, Zap, Kif, and Mom, before he tapped Simpsons writer David Cohen to help develop the concept. (He also envisioned a character called Pocket Pal that never appeared in the initial run of the show. Pocket Pal will appear for the first time in the second DVD movie.) Groening, the cartoonist behind the brilliant Life in Hell comic strip, sketched what he imagined the characters looked like as the concept for the show was finalized.

Pocket Pal? Is he anything like Leela's wrist-thing? If Pocket Pal's been in Matt Groening's mind since the days when Bender's name was originally Url, then he might be a recurring character like Scruffy or Randy...

[Reply #380 on:]

How can he be a recurring character if his first appearance is on the second movie?

[Reply #381 on:]

I'm getting my copy of Bender's Big Score this Saturday.  I'll write a review about it then. 

[Reply #382 on:]

I only saw parts of it when it was on youtube and it seemed ok.

But...

I got to see the full movie today. It made me sad because it wasn't like the Family Guy or The Simpsons movie at all. It was just felt a bunch of leftover episodes pasted together. 

[Reply #383 on:]

I'm sorry, but I'm really tired and cant be bothered trawling through all the threads...what does BBS come out in the UK? Just cause I quite want it as an xmas pressie, lolz

[Reply #384 on:]

 I've had my $22 saved up for about a week now, so I'll be buying it today.

In the commentary for "Less Than Hero," it was mentioned that Andrew (the mugger's little robot with the gun) either was a pocket pal or was very close to their original concept of one.  Initially Bender was supposed to have a little robot friend/pet, and that would have been the "pocket pal."

ETA: Did anyone else's DVD come with an extra disk?  I grabbed mine from Best Buy and there was an extra packet stuck in the box containing "exclusive bonus content."  I haven't watched any of it yet (classes...) but mArc didn't mention any of the stuff listed (a storyboard and layout animatic, and a preview for the second movie) in his review.

[Reply #386 on:]

...Please ignore.

[Reply #387 on:]

Second disc?!?

[Reply #388 on:]

I got the extra stuff too from Best Buy. I'll watch it when I come home from work tonight.

Yeah....

Minor spoilers, so linked; picture of the back of the extra disk packet.

I didn't even realize it was in there until I brought the DVD home.  That reeks that it (apparently) wasn't included with all of the DVDs.   

[Reply #390 on:]

Apparently not. That sucks. Oh well, perhaps it'll be on the UK release when it arrives.

[Reply #391 on:]

I just watched the second disk, and the preview for Beast with a Billion Backs is pretty damn substantial. It's about 4 and a half minutes of animatics. What's shown is REALLY good.

Ed: I love the title card.

[Reply #392 on:]

Whoo exclusive Best Buy disc!  Also, it was $2 cheaper than at Circuit City!  Victory for Nix!

[Reply #393 on:]

THAT DVD WAS FUCKING EXPENSIVE AND I WANT THAT GODDAMN BONUS DISC.

[Reply #394 on:]

SonicPanther, you're not alone...

I SPENT AN HOUR TRAVELING TO AND FROM MY NEAREST WALMART TO PURCHASE A LOUSY, NON-EXCLUSIVE, SINGLE-DISC DVD?!?

[Reply #395 on:]

I GOTS THE EXTRA DISC FROM BEST BUY AND I DIDN'T THINK THE MOVIE WAS THAT GREAT IN THE FIRST PLACE. I THINK THE SIMPSONS MOVIE WAS BETTER. JESUS CAPLOCKS!

"lmao". That's hilarious. I went to Walmart to buy my DVD, so as to save five minutes of driving time...boy do I regret it. I had assumed the preview DVD would have been a crappy 5-second teaser that shows othing.

You should "not" go to my server because it does "not" contain a 30mb high quality rip of the TBWaBB from the Best Buy Bonus DVD.

[Reply #398 on:]

Yes, it does.
*confused*
