Talk:The Beast with a Billion Backs

From what this says, i don't think I want to see this movie.

First of all, use signature for your writings, so we can see it is you; --~~~~. Secondly, why did you write that without telling us why? It is as if you want us to ask that question. --Svip^Talk 06:26, 18 January 2008 (PST)

After release...

When the film is released, I am thinking about keeping the sneak peak somehow in the article. And I think more than just a mention in the trivia section. Maybe a section in additional info or the miscellany of The Beast with a Billion Backs - which we will create as soon as it is released. --Svip^Talk 04:37, 28 January 2008 (PST)

Yep, needs to be kept somewhere. Also linked from the special features of BBS. - Quolnok 19:37, 28 January 2008 (PST)

March 18?

I know I am the one who wrote it into the article. But I am having doubts it will even be plausible. I mean, last time we knew about the release of "Bender's Big Score" (BBS)

at least two months before it was released. And we had its box art quite early as well. And why? Because give one to two months for production, at which point they must have decided on a box art - obviously! But I have seen no box art. I have seen no official statement about the release date. And only IMDb says March 18, 2008. Even Wikipedia have dropped the date on the grounds that IMDb does not suffice. Shall we keep it till it is confirmed it is not true? Or just get rid of it now? --Svip^Talk 12:20, 9 February 2008 (PST)

In all fairness, wikipedia is run by a dumbass, and his dumbass sub-admins. I do agree that it seems suspicious, but as long as it is specifically noted as a rumor I don't see a problem with keeping it. You have to remember that there was more hype and anticipation surrounding Bender's Big Score also, given that it was the first Futurama seen in quite some time. So they may simply not be seeing a reason to release any box art yet.

As a matter of fact, there was temp box art for Bender's Big Score way more than 6 months before its release. By that same token, we'd have to remove the May release date as well.Anarchy Balsac 12:47, 9 February 2008 (PST)

The May date is "somewhat" confirmation, since it is said by David X. Cohen, as you can see from the article, we even link to the interview where he states this information. The May date is merely an interpretation of what he says. Perhaps "Around May" instead? Also, it doesn't matter who runs Wikipedia, cause it is hardly always the sysops who decides on the issues. There are simply too many articles for that. --Svip^Talk 14:59, 9 February 2008 (PST)

Mark them both rumoured, then we're covered for both dates and everything in between... I doubt it would be March, there'd have been confirmation by now. Besides, BBS is coming out in March for AU and still has no date for EU. - Quolnok 18:19, 9 February 2008 (PST)

It's sometimes jimbo the dumbass wales himself who makes the decisions, so you're right. My point about wikipedia is only that you can't rely on them as a source, not that they are never right. I can send you a boat load of links substantiating this if you want. Anyways I'm not sure about the March date myself, but in all fairness, they've said nothing at all about this since BBS was released 3 and a half months ago. They're long overdue for any update whatsoever, so just because they haven't spoken on it doesn't mean it isn't when it'll be released.Anarchy Balsac 18:25, 9 February 2008 (PST)
