As we all know by now, Futurama is coming back from cancellation, but the format of the show is going to be slightly different this time around. The new Futurama will consist of four movies (Bender's Big Score, Bender's Game, The Beast with a Billion Backs, and Into the Wild Green Yonder) that will come out on DVD (the first one, Bender's Big Score, hits the shelves on November 27), and that will air on TV as separate episodes. In other words, each movie will be divided into four parts, so that the four movies will actually be sixteen episodes on TV. If you are confused by this, follow this link and hear Matt Groening, David X. Cohen, and Ken Keeler tell you everything about it. Keeler explains how each movie more or less works as four separate episodes, and how each part of the movie might go through slight modifications to become the separate episodes. This conversation happened at last July's San Diego Comic Con (it was the Futurama panel), and a fan quickly asked if the sixteen episodes would be compiled and sold on DVD as the show's fifth season. This would mean that the movies that are released on DVD and the DVD set with the TV version might be different, and David Cohen actually asks if the guy asking the question would be willing to buy both versions (laughter ensues). What does this mean? Will we have two very similar but not exactly identical versions of the story? Were they just joking? I don't know, and there's no definite answer on the panel. However, what you can see there is Billy West, John DiMaggio and Katey Sagal reading an exclusive script live in front of the audience, bringing Fry, Leela, Bender, Dr. Zoidberg and the Professor to life in front of your convinced ears but disbelieving eyes. Absolutely worth it!

Yay and yay again!
Ha sido una verdadera delicia ver el Futurama panel de la pasada Comic Con. Gracias por el link, Fel. :D
Por desgracia, la sombra de George Lucas es alargada, y fijo que acaban sacando las dos posibles ediciones en DVD. Al menos yo esperaré un tiempo antes de ver cual de ellas comprarme.
Me alegro de que te haya gustado... y de que te lo hayas tragado entero, hahaha.
Es verdad que lo primero que pensé fue "Maldito Lucas" cuando hicieron el comentario. Esperar es una buena idea, aunque la verdad es que no sé qué haré. De momento, y como ya he escrito en otro comentario, tengo la cuarta temporada recién comprada, así que tengo Futurama para rato.
Futurama y X-Files, por supuesto.
Apuesto a que en tu casa son los DVDs y los libros los que soportan a las estanterías y no al revés, Fel.
Pues sí que lo sabes. Y hablando de estanterías, prontó tendré que comprar un par más...
Ole por groening!!!
No puedo esperar, no puedo esperaaaaar!!! ¿Que sentido tiene mi vida sino puedo decir "culo"? Digo... si no puedo ver ya los nuevos episodio-capítulos-loquesea de futurama? Tendré que volver a ver todos los dvds para hacer tiempo.
Para acabar, una gran frase de bender, para que penséis en ello:
¿Cuándo aprenderán que todos los hombres son... igualmente inferiores a los robots?
Hahaha. Ah, la sabiduría de Bender. Recordemos mis dos frases favoritas:
"Sólo porque un robot quiera matar humanos se convierte en radical."
Y
"Os recuerdo que para mí la vida humana es prescindible."
Priceless!
Pues una de las mías:
Electronic Mother's Day Card: Come, Comrade Bender, we must take to the streets.
Bender: Umm, is this the boring, peaceful kind of taking to the streets?
Electronic Mother's Day Card: No, the kind with looting. And maybe starting a few fires.
Bender: Yes! In your face, Gandhi!
:D
O la siempre recurrente:
"Está bien, pero si preguntan, eres mi programador. No quiero que piensen que somos robosexuales."
Hahaha. Ayer vi el primer episodio de la cuarta temporada, con Kif embarazado. No fue espectacular, pero bueno...
Jaajjajaja.
Mario, se te olvida uno de los mejores momentos:
"vamos a robar, todos a trincar"
Tambien me gusta:
leela: me bender, eso es chantaje.
bender: no, es extorsion, la X le da clase.
O la mitica: ah si? pues voy a hacer mi propio parque de atracciones, con casinos, y furcias!
Jejeje. La verdad es que los primeros episodios de Futurama son todos míticos.
Aunque yo sigo sin saber distinguir muy bien qué episodios son de unas temporadas y cuáles son de otras, la verdad. Ése es el problema de devorar los DVDs en cosa de unas pocas semanas.
Tienes razón, J.Fel: todas esas son citas clásicas de la serie. Y es verdad, como dice Hal, que los primeros episodios son geniales.
Otra cita/escena memorable es la del episodio sobre el final de la serie Abogada soltera, cuando Bender dice aquello de "Cámara 1... Cámara 2... Cámara 3", hahahaha.
Jajajajaja. Ése tiene que ser uno de los mejores episodios de humor de la historia de la TV mundial. O más.
Por cierto, Fel, no te pierdas el episodio Less Than Hero, que en teoría tendría que tocarte ver a la de ya. Épico. :D
Precisamente he visto Less Than Hero hoy mientras comía, y tanto ése como el anterior, Love and Rocket, me han hecho reír de lo lindo, tal vez para compensar lo soso de los dos anteriores, hehehe.
