certainly can't do any worse than the simpsons movie...
then again, futurama is a different humour.

Agreed.
Going to be interesting, but the great thing about Futurama is that it can pull off the wacky shit more easily due to the setting.
agreed.
the boundaries are a lot wider too which really helps. anything is possible.
Yeah... popularity is a funny thing. Never mind that the Futurama bests the Simpsons on every level... character design, storylines, jokes, animation. This is all due to the fact that there are less limits of course, as you said. I would have been a happy man if the Simpsons were cancelled in order to keep Futurama going. And I really like the Simpsons! But Futurama was before it's time I guess. Pun-tastic!
It was about 45 mins too long!
Def weak though. Compared to prev Eps.
It seems to cop quite a bit of hate, but I'm with you, I really enjoyed it.
I remember reading the movies were sliced up into parts for serialisation, that's probably what Ten's getting...
That was Fox's original intention for the movies after initial DVD release, so you're right...
wooo im right!!
Fuck yes! Definitely the best character in the series. Like an intergalactic Lionel Hutz. The spirit of Phil Hartman is alive and well!
This Zapp Brannigan btw.
what about when fry is defending earth from the invaders (ala space invaders), and the leader of the invaders tactic is always 'go down, opposite direction, more speed!'
then when he wins, 'you should have shot where I was going to be instead of where i was'

the more i watch it, the more i really like it. The humour(as someone stated) is definately different to the Simpsons, a lot dryer

Definitely the best animated series around. Fucking awesome show. The Harlem Globetrotters time fucking episode was a definite highlight for me!

Bender thinking he's a penguin.. classic!
I always ask people, if futurama was around first, do you think it would be more popular/as popular as the simpsons?
Similar humor but less boundaries. I'm heartbroken there isn't more of it... oh well, there is now

finally got around to watching the futurama movie on the weekend and i have to say i was a bit disappointed. it had its moments but i found it kinda weak and nowhere near as funny as the rest of the previous episodes.

Have to admit the cliff-hanger ending disappointed me. I'm not used to not having closure, fuck it!!!

I thought both movies were quite bad.
There is a reason why they are only on for half an hour each night.

the new movie is ok, love the series though
my fav character would have to be Zac Brannigan (sp?), the fat captain who is always up himself and always trying to score with Lela
couple highlights,
1 - after he sleeps with Lela he says this to her the next morning
"you are now my woman, i can't say i don't envy you'
2 - when Lela is forced to go on a date with him he is trying to negotiate more dates
'5 dates'
'1'
'3 dates'
'1'
'1/2 a date'
'deal! we'l go out for part of dinner and half a movie'
3 - when some hippie runs on stage to point out that what is supposed to be Lela is really a monkey in disguise
'shut your bong hole hippie! you'd sacrifice a beautiful woman to save a moderately attractive monkey? you must have smoked some bad grenola!'
