Futurama – Ghost In The Machines

From Comedy Central:

Ghost in the Machines (619)
When Bender dies, his disembodied software begins haunting the Planet Express building.

In “Lethal Inspection” it was revealed that Bender does not have a backup unit. In “Ghost In The Machines” Bender dies and turns into a ghost, robot ghost.

There’s Robot Devil, voiced by Dan Castellaneta from Homer Simpson fame.

Bender is in trouble.

New episode of Futurama is coming this Thursday June 30th, 2011.

Ghost in the Machines (619)
When Bender dies, his disembodied software begins haunting the Planet Express building.

Bender was last seen being mauled by a giant kitten.

Twentieth Century Fox, apparently you missed one there.

Family Guy: It’s A Trap! is now officially released despite of some early leaks somewhere on the inter-tubes. Prior to the release of the DVD, a person who definitely did not attend the meeting between Seth McFarlane and John Jacobs informed us about a little joke within the movie. Similar to Futurama: Bender’s Big Score with mentions of ILoveBender.com, Family Guy: It’s A Trap! mentions hanjobs.org as part of a joke. Twentieth Century Fox registered the domain name hanjobs.org in advance of the release of the DVD.

Upon watching the actual movie, I found three other domain names within the jokes. They are:

  • www.makemoneysuperfast.org
  • www.getcashfaster.org
  • www.getrichquick.org

Twentieth Century Fox for sure secured the domain names before the release of the DVD, didn’t they?

makemoneysuperfast.org

getcashfaster.org

Unfortunately Twentieth Century fox missed one domain name, getrichquicker.org record was created back in November 18th, 2009 by somebody else.

getrichquicker.org

Ah well, I’m going to watch the special features from Futurama Volume 5 DVD.

Futurama pokes fun at Apple with eyePhone.

In the third episode of the new season, Futurama pokes fun at Apple with the eyePhone. Mimicking real life, the episode “Attack of The Killer App” shows:

  • People are lining up to buy the eyePhone.
  • People don’t care if it costs a lot of money.
  • People don’t care if there’s no Carrier choice.
  • People don’t care if the battery doesn’t hold charges.

By the way, Planet Express Crews also figured out that the eyePhone also makes calls.

Other tidbits from the episode:

  • The Real Housewives of Sim City
  • Mentos
  • Twit-worm
  • Spybot
  • Susan Boils that sings show-tunes.

Futurama is Back, Baby!

June 24th, 2010

What a glorious day! We’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time. Well, while some of you were still recovering from waiting in line outside the Apple Store, I’m enjoying new episodes of Futurama! By the way, I cancelled my iPhone 4 order that I supposed to pick up on the 24th.

Two new Futurama episodes air on Comedy Central and I am complaining that they feel too short. I want more!

Anyway, the Premiere Episode of the new season picked up where it left off in “Into The Wild Green Yonder” movie.

Despite of my disapproval of Comedy Central’s handling of South Park episode 200 and 201, I am watching Futurama.

In the meantime, you can collect Futurama DVD’s:

What are you waiting for? You know where to watch Futurama!
