FUCK THE SUMMER BLOCKBUSTERS: NEW FUTURAMA HITS ON JUNE 24th!!!

The second of the post-network FUTURAMA features arrives on June 24th, and I can't wait to see it. I know it's not for all tastes, but it's definitely my favorite of the FOX-spawned animated stuff and any new installments are as welcome as a nude Monica Belucci with a couple of six packs and a Godzilla movie. There's an early review of THE BEAST WITH A BILLION BACKS here and it sounds pretty good, so mark your calendar and get ready for another excursion into sci-fi insanity with the Planet Express crew. And I'll go out on a limb and say it: of the sci-fi comedies that have surfaced over the decades, FUTURAMA is by far the best of the lot, leaving even the vaunted RED DWARF parsecs behind. And as for this new movie, the use of the classic cheesy, 1950's-style horny, bodice-ripping alien on the box art bodes well for sheer ridiculousness. Plus, the art's really good in a pinup kind of way.

I can't wait!
