			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ah, finally! The third movie of Futurama (screenshots for the second movie The Beast With A Billion Backs are <a href="http://pretprieel.nl/blog/100/futurama-the-beast-with-a-billion-backs-screenshots/" title="Futurama: The Beast With A Billion Backs Screenshots on Pretprieel">also featured</a>). Despite the name it is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ender%27s_Game" rel="nofollow" title="Ender's Game">not</a> just about Bender. Although, everything revolves around Bender. &#8220;Bender, a turtle isn&#8217;t yourself. Why do you care about it?&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-250"></span><br />
<a href="http://pretprieel.nl/blog/wp-content/benders_game-space_ship_eating_cheese.jpg" title="The Planet Express ship eating cheese"><img src="http://pretprieel.nl/blog/wp-content/benders_game-space_ship_eating_cheese-468x256.jpg" alt="The Planet Express ship eating cheese" width="468" height="256"  /></a><br />
The movie starts with a psychedelic introduction after the ship flies into the big screen.</p>
<p><a href="http://pretprieel.nl/blog/wp-content/benders_game-yellow_space_ship.jpg" title="We all live in a yellowALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!"><img src="http://pretprieel.nl/blog/wp-content/benders_game-yellow_space_ship-468x256.jpg" alt="We all live in a yellowALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!" width="468" height="256"  /></a></p>
<p>The movie title refers to Bender&#8217;s Dungeons &#038; Dragons Game. At the end of Obsoletely Fabulous (4ACV14) Bender states: &#8220;Reality is what you make of it.&#8221; Amen. But it turns out, he has no imagination. Also, a shocking secret of Ignor (Mom&#8217;s third helper) is unveiled!</p>
<p><a href="http://pretprieel.nl/blog/wp-content/benders_game-titanius_anglesmith.jpg" title="Titanius Anglesmith, fancy man of Cornwood"><img src="http://pretprieel.nl/blog/wp-content/benders_game-titanius_anglesmith-468x256.jpg" alt="Titanius Anglesmith, fancy man of Cornwood" width="468" height="256"  /></a></p>
<p>There probably is or will be a Youtube video of the movie&#8217;s Scary Door episode, but it probably is or will be deleted soon. Besides, Youtube&#8217;s quality is crappy and you cannot enjoy it at work. So here&#8217;s a transcript of the Scary Door (War of the Worlds) from Bender&#8217;s Game.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Imagine, if you will,<br />
an announcer you can barely understand.</p>
<p>He refers to a&#8230;</p>
<p>But you&#8217;re not quite sure what he said.</p>
<p>He seems to be eating something,<br />
or perhaps he&#8217;s a little drunk.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s remotely possible that he just said something about<br />
The Scary Door.</p>
<p>- &#8220;Firing, sir!&#8221;<br />
- &#8220;It&#8217;s all over. Our guns and bombs&#8221;<br />
- &#8220;are useless against the aliens.&#8221;<br />
- &#8220;The saucers! Theys are crashing!&#8221;</p>
<p>In the end, it was not guns or bombs that defeated the aliens,</p>
<p>but that humblest of all God&#8217;s creatures&#8230;</p>
<p>the Tyrannosaurus Rex.</em></p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://pretprieel.nl/blog/wp-content/benders_game-machina_ex_deo.jpg" title="Machina ex Deo, instead of Deus ex Machina. Made me giggle."><img src="http://pretprieel.nl/blog/wp-content/benders_game-machina_ex_deo-468x256.jpg" alt="Machina ex Deo, instead of Deus ex Machina. Made me giggle." width="468" height="256"  /></a></p>
<p>To be honoust, when Bender&#8217;s Game got all fantasy (about halfway through), it became a little too obvious a parody of The Lord Of The Rings. Still, the movies are a nice addition to the Futurama realm and a nice variation to my days of rewatching all episodes.</p>
<p><a href="http://pretprieel.nl/blog/wp-content/benders_game-frydo_leegola.jpg" title="Frydo! Saddle up that trusty steed."><img src="http://pretprieel.nl/blog/wp-content/benders_game-frydo_leegola-468x256.jpg" alt="Frydo! Saddle up that trusty steed." width="468" height="256"  /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://pretprieel.nl/blog/wp-content/benders_game-frydo_zoidberg.jpg" title="Alas, Frydo's weakness was no match for the dice's strength."><img src="http://pretprieel.nl/blog/wp-content/benders_game-frydo_zoidberg-468x256.jpg" alt="Alas, Frydo's weakness was no match for the dice's strength." width="468" height="256"  /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After seeing &#8216;The Beast With A Billion Backs&#8217; I wanted to make a Calculon fan site. One, because he is as great an actor as he is arrogant and pompous. And two, because the movie showed a fantastic design, in my opinion. During the weekend I made the page but I wasn&#8217;t sure what to do with it. There are enough Futurama fan sites already and there isn&#8217;t even enough Futurama news in general to produce periodical updates.<br />
Either way, here’s the <a href="http://pretprieel.nl/calculon/" title="The Calculon, Thespomat AND David Duchovny Fan Site">Not So Official Calculon Fan Site</a>, with some information about the acting bot, beautiful quotes a link to screenshots and more text to fill some space.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Beast With A Billion Backs is the second Futurama film of four. It&#8217;s scheduled June 24 but it&#8217;s already available through various distributive networks. Being a major fan of Futurama I couldn&#8217;t resist downloading and watching it, so here are some preview screenshots. And please buy The Beast With A Billion Backs &#8211; once it&#8217;s released &#8211; on DVD. A proper review will follow on this site, once I find the time.</p>
<p><span id="more-100"></span><br />
<a href='http://pretprieel.nl/blog/wp-content/futurama_proud_result_of_prison_labor.jpg'><img src="http://pretprieel.nl/blog/wp-content/futurama_proud_result_of_prison_labor-460x264.jpg" alt="<br />
The proud result of prison labor" title="The proud result of prison labor" width="460" height="264"  /></a><br />
Every episode starts with a different introduction slogan. This is something Matt Groening also does with The Simpsons, where Bart writes something different on the blackboard every time.</p>
<p><img src="http://pretprieel.nl/blog/wp-content/futurama_vintage_zoidberg.gif" alt="Vintage Zoidberg running on a treadmill" title="Vintage Zoidberg running on a treadmill" width="460" height="265" /><br />
The Simpsons also has a different couch gag every episode. Futurama&#8217;s introduction always ends with the Planet Express Ship flying into a large screen showing a vintage cartoon. This time it actually flies <em>into</em> the screen and we get to see what Futurama would have looked like a century ago.</p>
<p><a href='http://pretprieel.nl/blog/wp-content/futurama_zoidberg_entirely_scared.jpg'><img src="http://pretprieel.nl/blog/wp-content/futurama_zoidberg_entirely_scared-460x264.jpg" alt="'Professor, sprinkle us with wisdom from your mighty brain; How scared should we be?' 'Somewhere between not at all and entirely' 'I call entirely!'" title="'Professor, sprinkle us with wisdom from your mighty brain; How scared should we be?' 'Somewhere between not at all and entirely' 'I call entirely!'" width="460" height="264"  /></a></p>
<p>Fry&#8217;s new polygamous girlfriend Colleen is voiced by Brittany Murphy.<br />
<a href='http://pretprieel.nl/blog/wp-content/futurama_fry_and_colleen_cuddle_cab.jpg'><img src="http://pretprieel.nl/blog/wp-content/futurama_fry_and_colleen_cuddle_cab-460x264.jpg" alt="Gotta skadoodloodle, we're taking a cuddle cab to huggabunny village" title="Gotta skadoodloodle, we're taking a cuddle cab to huggabunny village" width="460" height="264"  /></a></p>
<p>All My Circuits&#8217; Calculon also makes an appearance or two in The Beast With A Billion Backs. It turns out, his fourth different personality is blackmailing himself&#8230;<br />

<p>Finally, here&#8217;s a comic with Seinfeld characters playing D&#038;D. I love Seinfeld, but this comic hits the nail on the head with character personalities and recurring phrases. <del datetime="2008-05-25T09:47:05+00:00">I couldn&#8217;t find who the artist of this piece is. I guess it&#8217;s Shmorky, judging from the style, but I could be wrong. The date of creation is <em>probably</em> May 12 of this year.</del>After some further research, I found out it&#8217;s a comic by <a rel="nofollow" href="http://fanboys-online.com/" title="Fanboys Comics">Fanboys</a>.</p>
