I have just watched it, and it was brilliant.

I'm at Jamesoff's for the weekend, mainly for the housewarming but I have a shrinkwrapped copy of this for us to watch.

Oh so much watching will there be.

I preferred Bender's Big Score, as in the second one certain plot developments go against the established nature of many of the characters involved. And that irritated me.

That was good - Stephen Hawkins was fucking excellent.
"You should have."
"Ooh!"

I am not sure of these plot developments that you speak of.

Yeah I thought that, too. Still entertaining though, and very very funny. Funnier than most of season 4, anyway.

NOT THIS. Season 4 of Futurama has some of the best bits. "I can't believe everyone is just adlibbing?" Fry drinking 100 cups of coffee? "I'll dig up his corpse and keep it under my bed. That'll prove I'm not insane!" "A badger with a troubled past and nothing left to lose!" And the last two minutes of Jurassic Bark.

Not as good as Benders Big Score, but had some great moments.

I thought all of those episodes were season 3?

*checks*

Yeah, I meant the sub-par-compared-to-the-rest-but-still-better-than-any-other-adult-cartoon-season 3, not season 4.

Either way, it was extremely funny. And all of my Futurama DVDs are mixed up to buggery.

It's odd... I'm a massive Futurama fan, but for some reason have seen neither of these specials. Probably because they seem expensive, but if I acquire it via Sam Torrence and watch it on the 'puter then the feyonce will be mad. I shall wait until they are cheaper, or until Xmas or something.

But Time keeps on Slippin' is in season 3, and it's completely fantastic! Although also a pile of rubbish episodes too. And Parasites Lost! That one's brilliant!

They're not really though. They're film length and the price of a film.

The billion backs DVD also has the game footage edited into a lost episode, which is good if you never completed it.

I might get this, though I found most days, by cunning switching between two Sky channels I seem to be able to watch up to four Futurama episodes in a row between 4:30 and 6:30pm

I don't buy full price DVD movies either.

I just can't seem to enjoy these film-length cartoons. I find I just switch off partway through them.

Futurama, Family Guy, The Simpsons, South Park. All of them. I just can't pay attention to a cartoon for 90 minutes for some reason. Strangely, I can quite happily watch three single episodes in a row.

But the South Park movie was one of the funniest films of that decade!

[edit]Can you watch Manga films?

So I'm told, and I watched it, but I just ended up mentally switching off. I think I'm broken.

And god no. I can't watch Manga/Animé or anything of that ilk for any length of time.

Yes, but

Leela in particular changed her opinion of the matter in such a snap decision that frankly it was insulting to the viewer. Poorly plotted, poorly explained and frankly insulting to the viewer.

This bit I didn't mind at all. Odd Couple shenanigans are always fun.

The film was excellent, and I didn't manage to give Duds food poisoning.





Sorry everyone.
