on the title to order - huge discounts Futurama:
Bender's Big Score
Fresh from the success of The Simpsons Movie comes a feature length Futurama, the first of 4 planned. I enjoyed watching Futurama for a time, the retro 1960's comic book look of the series was very effective and the scripts were generally amusing. All of the original voice actors return for this film, it's one of the best cast of actors any show ever had, but just as Futurama never came close to the quality of The Simpson, Matt Groening's other cartoon creation, this film falls far short of brilliant. Bender's Big Score seems to be aiming at a younger audience than the series, at least that's how it looked to me. It's mildly funny at times but it didn't really trip my trigger. Judging from the rave reviews on Amazon.com, I'm in the minority. Cameos include Sarah Silverman, Mark Hammill, Kwaanza-bot (Coolio), Zapp Brannigan and Al Gore, who seems to be everywhere lately. What I enjoyed much more than the film were the extras, easily worth the price of this DVD alone. The film's revealing commentary track features Groening and writers Ken Keeler and David X. Cohen, director Dwayne Carey-Hill, and cast members Billy West (Fry), Phil LaMarr (Hermes), and John DiMaggio (Bender); they offer takes on every aspect of the production. Other bonus features include a live comic book reading, shorts "A Terrifying Message from Al Gore" and "Bite My Shiny Metal X," a bizarrely random show called Everybody Loves Hypnotoad (unless you're really stoned, I defy you to get through it all) along with deleted scenes, character design & models, and more. Al Gore even provides a humorous video commentary track for the very funny spoof of Inconvenient Truth. FUTURAMA Synopsis: As Xmas 3007 approaches, the “Futurama” crew must fight to save Earth in an epic battle against nudist alien Internet scammers. When the evil naked aliens launch a cyber-attack on Planet Express, they make a shocking discovery: the secret of time travel, mysteriously tattooed on Fry's buttocks. Using their devious nudist software to control Bender, they repeatedly send the beer-fueled robot back in time to loot Earth of its greatest treasures. Bender's rampage through history has shocking repercussions when he encounters, Al Gore (guest-starring as himself) during the 2000 Presidential recount. Meanwhile, Leela finds true love, a beloved crew member suffers an embarrassing decapitation, and Fry learns deep secrets about his destiny and his buttocks. Number of discs: 1
