Futurama

Good News Everyone!

Guys, Futurama is Coming Back Tonight, And Here’s a Hand-Made Live Action Opening Sequence to Prove It

by Susana Polo | 10:30 am, June 20th, 2012

I know, I know, Futurama is perpetually coming back, what with the creators admitting that they’ve written three different episodes at three different times to serve as series finales. But hey, Futurama is coming back, and this video is pretty darn amazing.

Monday Cute: Bender’s Baby (No, Not Like When He Adopted Kids. No, Not Like When He Was a Baby)

by Susana Polo | 9:34 am, June 11th, 2012

At this point in Futurama’s history, we’ve got a lot of back history to draw on, and while it might not be on the level of “The Simpsons Did It” (an episode of South Park where the B plot is entirely founded on the number of crazy plots that have appeared on the show), there’s still things to think about here. In an episode where Bender and a vending machine have a robot baby (and now that I think about it some more I’m not sure why I felt the need to specify that it was a robot…) what are the odds that there will be any references made to that time that Bender adopted twelve orphans in order to collect the cumulative $1,200 a week government stipend, or the time that Bender and Amy lead the robosexual revolution. Or that time that we saw Bender himself as a baby. Or that time that the whole crew were babies.

Well, either way, I’m counting this bucktoothéd be-diapered half bending robot half vending machine who I hope is named Vender as today’s Monday Cute. I mean, look at it playing with blocks:

Bender, Inked

by Jamie Frevele | 2:28 pm, June 3rd, 2012

Lauren Davis at io9 came up with a great story about Bender from Futurama going to prison and coming out with a bunch of tattoos. I like to believe that one day, he got sick of collecting souvenir spoons from all over the universe and decided to start getting inked instead. Because they tell stories! And Bender can always get his parts replaced or painted over. Whatever you choose to believe, we invite you to check out the various styles of tattoos on Bender designed by Nicolas Le Borgne (aka Odö) after the jump.

Things We Saw Today: Avengers Themed Cocktails

by Susana Polo | 4:57 pm, May 22nd, 2012

Perhaps this would go better in a Friday Things We Saw Today, but I’d totally drink almost all of the cocktails in this set created by The More I Arty, because I like drinks where you can’t tell that they’re alcohol and I’m not afraid to admit it. I’d also get full-on Hulk smashed, because I am a lightweight. (Flavorwire)

If They Mated: The Characters of Futurama

by Jamie Frevele | 3:31 pm, May 21st, 2012

Becca Jones put a ton of ideas into the heads of Futurama shippers when she came up with the children that the show’s characters would have together. And as it turns out, she never stopped drawing them! She has a new collection of potential spawns of the employees of Planet Express — and the results are, as you’d expect, pretty adorable. (Pictured above, Leela and Fry’s kids with Uncle Bender.)

Remembering Adam “MCA” Yauch: “Intergalactic” by The Beastie Boys [Video]

by Jamie Frevele | 6:00 pm, May 5th, 2012

Yesterday, Adam “MCA” Yauch, founding member of the Beastie Boys, passed away at age 47 after a three-year battle with cancer. It was sad news for many, especially those of us who grew up on MTV back when it was about music and featured the Beasties’ videos, like the geek-tastic “Intergalactic.” We urge you to enjoy this classic and remember the many contributions to hip-hop and music in general that Yauch left behind. The trio were notoriously geek-friendly, and after the jump, watch all three Boys in their appearance on Futurama. You will be missed, MCA.

The Hunger Games and The Simpsons Mashed Up, Setting the Stage For Cameos That Probably Won’t Happen

by Jamie Frevele | 1:15 pm, March 20th, 2012

Some creative people over at Next Movie thought it might be a good idea to imagine the characters from The Hunger Games in the style of The Simpsons. But you know what I think? I think it’s ripe for a really wicked Futurama crossover. More after the jump.
