Bender's Big Score (+3 more)

As we receive more news regarding the upcoming Futurama DVD movie Bender's Big Score and some info on the three Futurama movies to follow, we'll be using this page to gather the latest information on the movies all in one place. We base this on publically available sources and exclusive information from - among others - a very trustworthy unnamed source with middle initial "X".

First off, the names of the four Futurama movies:
• Bender's Big Score
• The Beast with a Billion Backs
• Bender's Game
• Into the Wild Green Yonder

All 4 new Futurama movie DVDs are going to be released in "Glorious Widescreen" (1.78:1) with Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound and will be available in both DVD and High-Definition format. Each of the feature-length movies (approximately 88 minutes) will be cut and reconfigured to be shown as four individual episodes on Comedy Central sometime after the release on DVD (date has not yet been set). The current plan states that the TV episodes are going to be in 4:3 to match the earlier episodes. All the more reason to buy the DVDs once they are available!

  Read our in-depth review of Bender's Big Score

  Plot summary ("highlight to read"):

  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.

Heath Ledger

Wow ---
That was certainly surprising.
At first I thought - what a morbid joke, but then I read and well just read for yourself:

Windows Error Reporting

Now, honestly could this be the least helpful message ever?

I think so.

Airwick Commercial

Ok now the link in the title shows an Airwick commercial, unfortunately I could only find it in German, but that is beside the point. Anyway, the Female character is apparently an Elephant, but for some reason, she's married to a Centipede. Now let's examine this for a moment.

Elephant

Centipede


Question: WTF? This makes no sense

Wii

So as it would seem, there are NO wii's anywhere - funny and I can still remember people saying last year that no one would ever want to buy a wii or that wii sucks, but now no one can find them anywhere. As soon as they come in they are off the shelves. Nintendo is smart. I mean I can go to Wal-Mart and still see PS3s or X-Box 360s, but no a Wii in sight.

Thank God It's Christmas

So, shopping is apparently a very big thing right before Christmas. Especially on Saturday. Good thing to remember for next year. Well, that's all for now. Just an insight.

Oracle

Oracle - how I hate thee!
Oracle - You suck!
Oracle - Why can't you just accept my statements the way they are?
Oracle - Why must they conform to your standards!
Oracle - F*** You!
