Volpin Props - Holophoner, Futurama

Just amazing.

I'd pay a ridiculous amount of money for that.

[Reply #641 on:]

^ So would I.

Is there any chance whatsoever of those ever being sold?

[Reply #642 on:]

The maker has a FAQ on his webpage. You could probably get one, but all of his works are hand-made, so it would cost a lot of money.

[Reply #643 on:]

Magnificent work!

Every time a new season starts and pictures and videos come up of it, you all get excited.   Then when the episode aired you all either think it's okay or you hate it.

You've posted basically the same thing in every thread you've commented in.

That Holophoner is absolutely beautiful.  I loved reading about the process too. The finished product is gorgeous.

That's how it works, except that some episodes are considered good. But most episodes are due to fall in category: okay, because of normal distribution most likely applies to episode ratings.

So? Some episodes can seem like the "best idea ever" but when you see it, isn't nothing as you expected or you think "It could be better" ,also can happen the opposite. That doesn't have nothing with if I like Futurama or not, it's completely normal.

The comic con artwork just blew my mind. I'm guessing it's just for fun though, like the pin-up calender? (Because if that's actually a scene from Meanwhile . . . HOLY SHIT. Bring on September!)

Speaking of Meanwhile . . . am I the only one surprised they released so much of the episode so far ahead of time? Spoilers are one thing, but that's two thirds of the episode. I read the spoilers (I know, I curse myself) but in retrospect, I think I would have preferred another few weeks of excited ignorance. Just me? 

[Reply #649 on:]

I haven't read the spoilers, and everyone being like "ZOMG SO EPIC" is making me more determined not to, so it's as big a moment as possible. To answer your question, it is strange, but I think they just don't care as much as they used to, so don't mind fans knowing pretty much everything about an episode before they see it.

[Reply #650 on:]

"Calculon 2.0", tonight's episode of #Futurama on #ComedyCentral, is one of which I'm particularly proud. There. I said it.

Source.

[Reply #651 on:]

I'm looking forward to seeing some of Calculon's ACTING TALENT!

[Reply #652 on:]

Gotta' remember to set my alarm for 0030 to catch it tonight!

[Reply #653 on:]

I'm really looking forward to rest of the season. All the episodes seem to have potential being good/very good.

[Reply #654 on:]

Shouldn't we have a new thread for the new episode? I'm sitting here watching the episode and wishing I had someplace to react!

I was very surprised that so much was released as well; maybe Snrub is right and they simply don't care as much anymore.
I read the spoilers, too, and am now very irritated with myself for having done so. A fairly large amount of the excitement I felt about "Meanwhile" is gone since I know what's happening in 2/3 of the episode.  Of course, I'm still very much looking forward to it, but now a good deal of the suspense is gone, which kind of sucks, especially since it's entirely my own fault.

Hey Anna, based on

Show spoiler

that picture that was revealed of Fry and Leela sat on a swing made of people, it seems there is a lot of crazy stuff yet to happen in the third act.

Maybe so crazy that it might completely ruin the episode for me. I mean romantic warfest? People swing? Time Traveling?? And the first 2 acts don't involve ANY of the first 2 things. I hope they don't just cram it in there and tell us to enjoy. That really would be bad. Not trying to sound negative. Just a little concern.

[Reply #658 on:]

Time Traveling??

That's like one of the most common elements on Futurama.

[Reply #659 on:]

If that image of Fry and Leela on that swing made of people is the final shot in the episode I will be WELL pissed off. I hated that image when it was released.

My primary concern with Meanwhile is that the third act is only like, 5 minutes. That doesn't seem like enough time for the epic-ness to unfold to me :/

I'm a bit concerned about that, too, Solid Snake. I was really excited when I first heard "romantic warfest" but since there weren't even the beginnings of a warfest shown in Acts 1 or 2, I'm worried that aspect will seem shoehorned in or weak when it should be thrilling and intense. One thing I had considered, though, was that the stirrings of a warfest involving the Nibblonians will be shown in "Game of Tones" and continued in "Meanwhile."
Like Imy said, though, Act 3 alone doesn't seem like adequate time for all of those epic ideas to be thoroughly explored, so I'm a little anxious.

[Reply #661 on:]

Thanks for the extensive spoilering, everyone!  I want to be surprised by the eps and I try to stay away but can't help but drop in here from time to time

yeah and Comedy Central was apparently pissed and refused to show the animated second act in their video of the panel. I knew I should've went 😒

Hi im new here so im confused, is this all about the future of Futurama?

The rest of this season, and the show's future. Basically a general discussion. If I turn out to be wrong, sorry I'm new too.

Anything and everything about Futurama, also a thread for things that don't belong in any other type of thread and/or aren't significant enough to have a thread of their own.

[Reply #666 on:]

Thanks Danny and Cartoonlover I understand this thread now

[Reply #667 on:]

[Reply #668 on:]

Oh wow, nice! That's a lot of skill. The hair detail looks spectacular.

[Reply #669 on:]

I can't even contemplate how awesome that is.

[Reply #670 on:]

That is really cool; it must have taken a massive load of dedication and patience to complete. Thanks for sharing that, Danny. 

[Reply #671 on:]

That's really cool Danny! You should submit it to the Futurama Fanarama!

[Reply #672 on:]

the Futurama Fanarama!

The whaaaa?

Also, that image has spread all over the internet now, it's not too hard to find.

[Reply #673 on:]

That's on the futurama Comedy Central page. Someone should submit that indeed :3 so cool

[Reply #674 on:]

I know the Fry meme is easy to find. But that one is almost unique in it's own way. I mean the characters are drawn inside his hair? Pretty awesome if you ask me.

[Reply #675 on:]

No, I mean the Etch A Sketch image has spread too.

[Reply #676 on:]

Oh. But still, if you made it, right? So you still have the rights of the picture (not what's in the sketch, of course).

So you should be able to submit it to the Fanarama, however they do it. I think you can send it to them on Tumblr? I'm not 100% positive.

*Edit* 600th Post! Hurrah! 

[Reply #677 on:]

I don't think Danny made it.

[Reply #678 on:]

Oh. I had the wrong idea then, I thought he made it aha. I thought so because the signature ended with a Y, and that it spelt Danny.   


_{Man, do I feel like a dope right now.}

[Reply #679 on:]

If he had, Danny would be winning ALL THE PEELIES.
