    1acv09: Hell is Other Robots

    [Opening Credits. Caption: Condemned By The Space Pope.]

    [Scene: Madison Cube Garden. Fry, Leela and Bender sit waiting for a Beastie Boys gig to begin.]

    Fry: This is awesome! I've been waiting a thousand years to see a Beastie Boys show.

    Bender: Can I get anybody a beer?

    Fry: Sure!

    [Bender opens his chest cabinet and uses his antenna to pump some beer into a cup. He hands it to Fry and Fry takes a gulp.]

    Announcer: [on loudspeaker] Ladies and gentlemen, here to lay down some old, old, incredibly old school beats: The Beastie Boys!

    [A man wheels the Beastie Boys' heads in jars onto the stage. The crowd cheers. Some guys in black suits grab the jars and dance around. The Beastie Boys perform Intergalactic.]

    Beastie Boys: (singing) Well now don't you tell to smile,
    You stick around,,
    I'll make it worth your while
    Got numbers beyond what you can dial,
    Maybe it's because I'm so versatile,
    Style profile I said,
    It always brings me back when I hear Wu Child...

    [Leela looks at her wrist machine.]

    Leela: Impressive. They're busting mad rhymes with an 80% success rate.

    Bender: I believe that qualifies as ill. At least from a technical standpoint.

    [Fry is standing away from them.]

    Fry: Will you guys shut up! I'm trying to look cool.

    [He attempts to dance.]

    Beastie Boys: (singing) ...known for the Flintstone Flop
    Tammy D gettin' biz on the crop,
    Beastie Boys know to let the beat...

    Mike: Drop! [His dancer drops him and his head flies off the stage. The crowd pass him over them.] Ow! How's it going? [They pass him again.] Enjoying the show? Ow! [They pass him again and he disappears into the crowd.] (shouting) Don't forget to pick up a T-shirt!

    Fry: Wow! An old-fashioned mosh pit! Come on, guys. Tonight we're gonna party like its 1999 ... again.

    [The Beastie Boys perform Super Disco Breakin.]

    Beastie Boys: (singing) Well it's 50 cups of coffee and you know it's on
    I move the crowd to the break of break of dawn...

    [Fry and Bender get into the mosh pit. Leela gets bumped around.]

    Leela: Ow! Hey, watch it!

    [She elbows someone in the face, kicks someone else, punches someone else the does a full circle flying kick and knocks everyone around her over.]

    [Time Lapse. The crowd are back in their seats.]

    Fry: Man, these guys rock harder than ever!

    [The Beastie Boys sing Sabotage a cappella.]

    Mike: (singing) Oh, my...

    MCA: (singing) It's a mirage...

    Ad-Rock: (singing) Tellin' you all it's a...

    Beastie Boys (singing) Sabotage!

    Ad-Rock: (singing) Sabotage, yeah!

    Mike: Peace, we out!

    [The crowd cheers and the Beastie Boys are wheeled out. Fry cheers. A Fender amplifier recognises Bender.]

    Fender: Hey, Bender!

    Bender: Hey, Fender! Man, I haven't seen you since high school. You still workin' at Jack In The Box?

    Fender: Not anymore, baby. I'm with the band!

    [Scene: Backstage. The Beastie Boys get head massages.]

    Mike: Aw! Oh, yeah!

    [Enter Fender, Bender, Fry and Leela.]

    Fender: Hey, fellas, hey. I want you to meet my friends, Bender, Fry and Leela.

    Ad-Rock: Y'know, we're really not that interested in meeting them.

    Fry: Wow! I love you guys! Back in the 20th century, I had all five of your albums.

    Ad-Rock: That was a thousand years ago. Now we got seven.

    Fry: Cool! Can I borrow the new ones? And a couple of blank tapes?

    [Fender turns his volume down and turns to Bender.]

    Fender: (whispering) Hey, Bender, why don't we ditch these organ sacks and hit the real party?

    Bender: Count me in! I'm gonna drink till I reboot!

    [Scene: Room. Fender presses a button, a door slides open and in the room are three robots hooked up to a machine which discharges electricity. It shocks them and they groan.]

    Bender: Hey, what kinda party is this? There's no booze and only one hooker.

    Fender: Don't be a drag, man. We're jacking on! [He plugs himself into the machine and shocks himself.] Aw, yeah! [He takes the plug out and offers it to Bender.] Wanna jolt?

    Bender: Uh, hey, I'm no square but isn't that counter-indicated by my operations manual?

    [The other robots laugh.]

    Robot: Counter indicated!

    Fender: Come on, Bender, grab a jack. I told these guys you were cool.

    Bender: Well, if jacking on'll make strangers think I'm cool, I'll do it!

    [He takes the plug and sticks it in his head. He goes crazy and starts to hallucinate. Sitar music plays. He falls onto a circuit board. Then he flies around a molecule and eats the electrons. He eats the proton and starts giggling. He dances with an electric eel. Fender takes the plug out.]

    Fender: Easy, baby. You don't wanna get hooked on this stuff.

    Bender: Eh, no need to worry. I don't have an addictive personality.

    [He smokes a cigar, gulps down some beer and jacks on again.]

    [Scene: New New York City Street. Fry and Bender walk around a slum. Hobos sleep in the travel tubes and windows are boarded up. Bender wears shades.]

    Fry: Hey, uh, Bender? What are we doing in this bad neighbourhood?

    Bender: Shut up, square! [Bender walks off the street down into a place called Sparky's Den. His shades fall off. His eyes are blue and electrified.] I'll just be a minute!

    [Fry leans against a lamppost and whistles.]

    [Time Lapse. Three hours later Bender comes out. He groans and can't walk properly. He falls over, rolls off the pavement and lands face down in the gutter. A Preacherbot rolls by and sees him.]

    Preacherbot: Wretched sinner unit! The path to robot heaven lies here ... [He takes out a 3.5" disk.] ... in the Good Book 3.0.

    Bender: Hey! Do I preach to you when you're lying stoned in the gutter? No! So beat it!

    [The Preacherbot tuts and leaves.]

    Fry: Who was that guy?

    Bender: Your mama! Now shut up and drag me to work!

    [Fry drags Bender by his legs.]

    [Scene: Planet Express: Meeting Room. Hermes addresses the staff with a chart.]

    Hermes: Our electric bill's climbing faster than a green snake up a sugar cane. Obviously someone round been wastin' a whole heap a juice! Probably you!

    [He points at Zoidberg.]

    Zoidberg: Me?

    [Enter Fry and Bender.]

    Amy: Good morning, Bender.

    Bender: None of your business! Get off my back!

    [He runs into the restroom.]

    Amy: What's his problem?

    Leela: If I didn't know better I'd almost think he was abusing electricity.

    Fry: Bender? No way! [The lights dim.] I definitely would've noticed something.

    [Leela gets up and knocks on the restroom door.]

    Leela: Bender, why are you spending so much time in the bathroom? Are you jacking on in there?

    Bender: (from inside) No! Don't come in!

    [Enter Farnsworth with a box.]

    Farnsworth: Good news, everyone! Today you'll be delivering a crate of subpoenas to Sicily 8, the Mob Planet!

    [Bender returns.]

    Bender: Alright, let's get to work! I'll be out in a second.

    [He runs back into the bathroom.]

    [Scene: Ships Cockpit. The crew have made the delivery and are returning to Earth.]

    Fry: I know Big Vinnie said he was giving me the kiss of death but I still think he was gay.

    Leela: Did he use his tongue?

    Fry: A little. [Leela cringes. Bender sits in the corner chewing his fingers.] You OK, Bender?

    Bender: None of your business! Get off my back!

    Leela: Uh-oh. There seems to be some sort of electrical disturbance in the Coalsack Nebula.

    Bender: A what kind of disturbance?

    Leela: Electrical. Anyway, it's going to take some careful piloting to avoid it.

    [Bender sneaks out of the cockpit.]

    [Cut to: Outside Ship. Bender opens the door and steps out. He edges his way around to the engines and pushes them so the ship flies straight towards the nebula. He laughs insanely.]

    [Cut to: Ships Cockpit. Leela struggles with the controls.]

    Leela: We're out of control. We're heading straight into the electric field!

    Fry: What's happening? I-I feel weird!

    [The electricity has given him an afro.]

    [Cut to: Outside Ship. Bender stands on top of it in front of the gun turret, waving his arms.]

    Bender: Come on, universe, you big, mostly empty wuss! Gimmie all the juice you got! [Lightning strikes Bender's antenna and he jitters. Another bolt strikes him and a third. His legs melt.] Oh, mama!

    [Scene: Planet Express: Hangar. Bender sits atop the ship, melted to it. Amy drills him off with a jackhammer. He slides down the front of the ship and lands on the floor. Farnsworth, Leela and Hermes stare at him. Bender looks up at them.]

    Bender: What?

    [Scene: Planet Express: Meeting Room. Bender has been repaired and a crate of spare robot legs and thighs is next to the table.]

    Leela: Bender, we didn't mind your drinking, or your kleptomania, or your pornography ring.

    Zoidberg: In fact, that's why we loved you.

    Leela: But this electricity abuse crossed the line. You almost killed us.

    Fry: And you made me feel like a jerk for trusting you. Just like when my friend Richie swore he wasn't taking drugs and then he sold me my mom's VCR and then later I found out he was taking drugs. You make me ashamed to be your friend.

    [Bender sighs.]

    Bender: You're right. I'm a lost cause.

    [He walks out.]

    [Scene: New New York City Street. Bender passes Sparky's Den. He hears an organ play behind him and looks across the street to the Temple of Robotology.]

    Bender: Maybe there's another way.

    [Cut to: Temple of Robotology Roof. Bender plugs himself into the neon sign and jacks on.]

    Bender: Oh, yeah, that's the good stuff. [The sign short circuits. Bender unplugs himself and cries.] (crying) What am I doing? What have I become? Huh?

    [He looks down though the roof and sees a sermon.]

    [Cut to: Temple of Robotology.]

    Preacherbot: I see a lot of fancy robots here today, made of real shiny metal. But that don't impress the Robot Devil, no, sir!

    Vergerbot: No, sir!

    Preacherbot: 'Cause if you're a sinner, he's gonna plug his infernal modem in the wall, belchin' smoke and flame. And he's gonna download you straight to Robot Hell!

    Vergerbot: Straight to hell!

    Preacherbot: So I ask you: Who will stand up and be saved? Who? Who?

    [The glass roof gives way and Bender falls through and lands in front of Preacherbot.]

    Bender: (weakly) Me.

    [Scene: Planet Express: Meeting Room. Hermes addresses the crew.]

    Hermes: And as a further cost-cutting measure, I have eliminated the salt-water cooler.

    Zoidberg: This is a witch hunt!

    [Enter Bender wearing a bow tie.]

    Bender: (singing) Oh, what a beautiful morning,
    Oh what a beautiful day!
    (talking) Greetings, friends. Don't we all look nice today?

    Fry: Great! He's whacked out on electricity again.

    Bender: No, I'm whacked out on life. My friends, I found religion.

    [The crew stare, shocked.]

    Fry: Religion? Is this another scam to get free yarmulkes?

    Leela: Give him a break, Fry. If this helps Bender clean up his act then I think we should be supportive.

    Farnsworth: (simultaneous) Yes.

    Amy: (simultaneous) Oh, yeah.

    Hermes: (simultaneous) Oh, yes!

    Zoidberg: (simultaneous) Oh, yeah.

    Bender: Wonderful. Then you'll all come to my exceedingly long, un-air-conditioned baptism ceremony!

    [The staff murmur.]

    [Scene: Temple of Robotology.]

    Preacherbot: We are gathered here today to deliver brother Bender from the cold, steel grip of the Robot Devil unto the cold, steel bosom of our congregation.

    Robot #2: Tell it, Preacher!

    Robot #3: That equals true.

    Preacherbot: Brother Bender, do you accept the principles of Robotology on pain of eternal damnation in Robot Hell?

    Bender: Yes, I do.

    Preacherbot: Then I will now baptise you. [A keyboard appear from his waist.] Press any key to continue.

    [Bender presses a button and he is lifted and baptised in a barrel of High Viscosity Baptismal Oil. Preacherbot welds the symbol of Robotology, a resistor symbol, to Bender's chest.]

    Bender: Uh, while you're at it, could you touch up this seam?

    [He raises his arm. Preacherbot welds the seam. Bender giggles.]

    [Scene: Elzar's Fine Cuisine. The crew are dressed up.]

    Leela: This is unbelievable. The old Bender never would have taken us out to dinner.

    Bender: The old Bender's gone. He won't trouble you anymore.

    Waiter: Would monsieur care to see the wine list?

    [Bender shreds the wine list and hands it back to the waiter.]

    Bender: No poison for us, thanks. I'll stick with good old mineral oil. [He drinks the oil.] Ah! Functional!

    [Time Lapse. The food arrives.]

    Hermes: Mon, I'm hungrier than a green snake in a sugar cane field!

    Bender: Friends! Friends! Surely you're not going to eat before we say Robot Grace? [The staff grumble. Bender closes his eyes.] In the name of all that is good and logical we give thanks for the chemical energy we are about to absorb. To quote the prophet Jerematic: 1000101010101...

    [Time Lapse. The staff have given up praying and anxiously wait for Bender to finish.]

    Bender: ...0010110012. Amen.

    Fry: Does that mean we can eat now?

    Bender: Yes. [The crew tuck in.] But first, since I love you all so much, I'd like to give everyone hugs. Come here, Fry!

    Fry: Oh, uh, but I don't want to.

    [Bender hugs Fry.]

    Bender: Mmm! Mmm! Fry, you're my friend! [Fry, unsure, pats Bender on the back. Bender stands up again.] Come on, everyone line up for a hug. Let's tear down some emotional walls.

    [The others edge their seats away.]

    [Scene: Planet Express: Hangar. Bender sticks something to the ship.]

    Leela: What are you doing to my ship?

    Bender: Sanctifying it! [Leela sighs. Bender has stuck on a robot version of the Ichthus.] There! That ought to convert a few tailgaters.

    Fry: Bender's stupid religion is driving me nuts.

    Leela: Amen.

    Farnsworth: If only he had joined a mainstream religion like Oprah-ism or Voodoo.

    Fry: We've got to get the old Bender back.

    Leela: And I think I know a way to do it. We have to reacquaint him with a little thing called "sleaze".

    [Scene: Atlantic City Street. The ship lands in a car park.]

    [Time Lapse. The crew have taken Nibbler with them and they walk down the street.]

    Bender: I can't believe somebody hired an interstellar spaceship to deliver a package to Atlantic City. What are we delivering anyway?

    Fry: Uh, this.

    [He pulls some mints out of his pocket.]

    Bender: Where are we delivering it to?

    Leela: Uh, here.

    [She takes the mints and puts them in a mailbox.]

    Bender: Another job well done. Now back to the office for an enjoyable evening of fasting and repentance.

    Fry: Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, Bender. So long as we're here why don't we take in some exotic dancing?

    Leela: Hey, great idea!

    [Bender turns around. He is standing outside a club called "Power Strip". He gasps.]

    Bender: But ... those girls don't wear cases. You can see their bare circuits.

    Fry: Come on, it'll be fun! Maybe we could even drink a little fortified wine.

    Bender: What? Drinking wine is a sin. Even if it is deliciously fortified.

    Leela: Hey, Bender, look at that woman's purse. It's hanging by a spaghetti strand.

    [Bender zooms in but pushes his eyes back in again.]

    Bender: Thou shalt not snatch.

    Fry: And there's Hookerbot 5000. She's got a heart of solid gold!

    Hookerbot: Hey, sailing unit!

    Bender: Stop tempting me! For once in my life I have inner peace.

    Fry: Pfft! That's for losers. C'mon, sin your heart out.

    Leela: Go nuts.

    Hookerbot: Live a little.

    Woman: Could you hold my purse for a minute?

    Fry: Go for it, Bender. You know you wanna!

    Bender: Well...

    [Scene: Power Strip. Bender dances with the Stripperbots and laughs.]

    Bender: I'm the greatest. [He opens the woman's purse and throws money into the air.] Woo-hoo!

    Fry: Look's like we got the old Bender back!

    Bender: You know it, pork pie! Except for one thing.

    [He rips the Robotology symbol off his chest and throws it over his shoulder. It sinks into a bowl of something and beeps and glows.]

    [Scene: Trump Trapezoid. Bender entertains three Fembots in the Jacuzzi of his hotel room.]

    Bender: Y'know, as a major Hollywood director, I'll be holding auditions tonight for my next movie. And even though you're all young and naive, I think you might just have what it takes. [The Fembots laugh. There is a knock at the door.] Hey! I'm trying to score here! Can't you read the "Do Not Disturb" sign? [He wraps a towel around his waist and opens the door. A red glows comes from the corridor. Bender gasps.] No! No!

    [A pitchfork comes through the door and knocks him out.]

    [Scene: Robot Hell. Bender awakens face-to-face with a large red robot with a tail and horns.]

    Robot Devil: Greetings, Bender! Welcome to Robot Hell.

    [Bender screams.]

    [Scene: Trump Trapezoid. The next day, Fry and Leela stand in Bender's room. There are scorch marks where Bender fell and he has been dragged out of the room.]

    Leela: What in hell happened to Bender?

    Fry: Well he didn't check out. The ashtray's still here. [Nibbler yelps.] Look, Nibbler's caught the scent of vodka and motor oil! Go, boy. Follow that stench.

    [The run out of the room.]

    [Scene: Robot Hell Tunnel. Bender is chained to a cart and the Robot Devil stands behind him with a whip. The cart rolls down a track.]

    Bender: I'm hallucinating this, right?

    [The Robot Devil whips him.]

    Robot Devil: No, Bender. Robot Hell is quite real. Here's our brochure.

    [He hands Bender a brochure entitled Hell Is Other Robots.]

    Bender: But I don't belong here. I don't like things that are scary and painful.

    Robot Devil: Sorry, Bender, you agreed to this when you joined our religion. If you sin you go to Robot Hel, for all eternity.

    Bender: Aw, hell-- I mean "heck"!

    Robot Devil: It's alright, you can say that here.

    [Scene: Outside Reckless Ted's Funland. Fry and Leela look up at the sign.]

    Fry: Wait! I remember this place. They shut it down after all those people caught salmonella from the flume ride.

    [Nibbler leads Fry and Leela to a ride called The Inferno.]

    [Cut to: The Inferno. They open the door and look around.]

    Leela: Hmm. Look! It's the symbol of Bender's old religion.

    [Fry presses the symbol and the crazy mirror beside it slides upwards. Behind it is Robot Hell.]

    Fry: Unbelievable. It's an actual, factual Robot Hell.

    Leela: Who would've thought hell would really exist? And that it would be in New Jersey!

    Fry: Actually--

    [A trap door opens beneath them and Nibbler watches them disappear down a twisting fun slide. They scream as they fall.]

    [Scene: Robot Hell: Level 1.]

    Robot Devil: We know all your sins, Bender. And for each one we've prepared an agonising and ironic punishment. Gentlemen?

    [A band of Hellbots start to play.]

    Bender: Aw, crap, singing. Mind if I smoke?

    [He lights a cigar but the Robot Devil takes it from him and stubs it out on his chest. Two Hellbots throw him a hat and cane.]

    Robot Devil: (singing) Cigars are evil,
    You won't miss 'em,
    We'll find ways to simulate that smell,
    What a sorry fella,
    Rolled up and smoked like a panetela,
    Here on level one of Robot Hell!

    [Bender falls through a trapdoor.]

    [Cut to: Robot Hell: Level 2. He lands next to a card table. He picks the cards up and takes one from his chest cabinet.]

    Robot Devil: (singing) Gambling's wrong and so is cheating,
    So is forging phoney IOU's,
    Let's let Lady Luck decide,
    What type of torture's justified,
    I'm pit boss here on level two!

    [He spins a wheel that Bender is strapped to. Luck decides to deep-fry Bender.]

    (talking) Ooh! Deep-fried robot!

    Bender: (singing) Just tell me why.

    Robot Devil: (singing) Please read this 55-page warrant.

    Bender: (singing) There must be robots worse than I.

    Robot Devil: (singing) We've checked around, there really aren't.

    Bender: (singing) Then please let me explain,
    My crimes were merely boy-ish pranks.

    Robot Devil: (singing) You stole from boy scouts, nuns and banks!

    Bender: (singing) Ah, don't blame me,
    Blame my upbringing!

    [He steals the Robot Devil's wallet.]

    Robot Devil: (singing) Please stop sinning while I'm singing!

    [He pulls Bender's arm off and kicks him through a hole.]

    [Cut to: Robot Hell: Level 5. Bender lands in front of the Beastie Boys. The Robot Devil picks Bender up by the leg and shakes him. CDs fall out of his chest cabinet.]

    Robot Devil: (singing) Selling bootleg tapes is wrong,
    Musicians need that income to survive.

    Beastie Boys: (singing) Hey, Bender, gonna make some noise,
    With your hard drive scratched by the Beastie Boys!
    That's whatcha, whatcha, whatcha get on level five!

    [Cut to: Robot Hell Slide. Fry and Leela slide further down.]

    Fry: (singing) I don't feel well.

    Leela: (singing) It's up to us to rescue him.

    Fry: (singing) Maybe he likes it here in Hell.

    Leela: (singing) It's us who tempted him to sin.

    Fry: (singing) Maybe he's back at the motel.

    Leela: (singing) Come on, Fry, don't be scared,
    I'm sure at least one of us will be spared,
    So just sit back, enjoy the ride.

    Fry: (singing) My ass has blisters from the slide.

    [Cut to: Elevator. Bender and the Robot Devil plunge into Hell. The Robot Devil takes stuff out of Bender's chest cabinet.]

    Robot Devil: (singing) Fencing diamonds,
    Fixing cockfights,
    Publishing indecent magazines,

    [He kicks Bender out of the elevator.]

    You'll pay for every crime,
    Knee-deep in electric slime,
    You'll suffer till the end of time,
    Enduring torture's, most of which rhyme,
    Trapped forever here in Robot Hell!

    [The music ends and the show finishes with a fireworks display.]

    (talking) Of course, that's just for starters.

    [Fry and Leela fall from the slide screaming and land behind the Robot Devil. They see him and gasp.]

    Fry: Bender, are you alright?

    Bender: No! Oh, they're tormenting me with up-tempo singing and dancing.

    Leela: Alright, Beelzebot, what'll it take to get our friend back?

    Robot Devil: Sorry, but I hold all the cards here. There's nothing I can do. Now, if you'll just sign this fiddle contest waiver.

    [Fry takes the pen but Leela stops him.]

    Leela: Wait. What fiddle contest?

    Robot Devil: The Fairness In Hell Act of 2275 requires me to inform you that if you can best me in a fiddle contest, you win back Bender's soul. As well as a solid gold fiddle.

    Fry: Wouldn't a solid gold fiddle weigh hundreds of pounds and sound crummy?

    Robot Devil: Well it's mostly for show.

    [He picks up the fiddle and it glints in the light.]

    Leela: (whispering) Do you know how to play the fiddle?

    Fry: (whispering) No. Do you?

    Leela: (whispering) No, but I used to play the drums. They're sorta similar. (talking) What happens if we lose?

    Robot Devil: You'll only win a smaller, silver fiddle. Also I guess I'll kill one of you, uh, him.

    [He points at Fry. Fry gulps.]

    Leela: We'll do it.

    Robot Devil: Very well, then. Beat this.

    [He plays a tune and uses his tail as an extra arm.]

    Bender: Well, we're boned.

    Robot Devil: Your turn. [He hands the violin to Leela. She plays awfully. Fry and Bender cringe.] Ha!

    Leela: Time for the drum solo!

    [She beats the Robot Devil over the head with the violin and he squeals like a little girl.]

    Fry: Run!

    [They do. Hellbots and flying bugbots chase them. The bugbots shoot laser rings at them. Bender pulls a pair of wings off a bugbot and flies in and grabs Fry and Leela who are swarmed by a crowd of Hellbots with pitchforks. Bender ascends and heads for small hole in the roof.]

    Robot Devil: Stop them! They cheated!

    [A bugbot shoots three laser rings at the trio. Two miss but one catches on Bender's antenna, forming a halo. The Hallelujah chorus plays and they get closer to the hole. Hellbots pull chains to close the hole.]

    Leela: Hurry, Bender!

    Bender: I could if you'd drop the stupid gold violin!

    Leela: Oh, sorry.

    [She drops it. It hits Beezlebot on the head. He squeals and Fry, Leela and Bender escape through the hole.]

    [Cut to: Outside The Inferno. They cheer.]

    Bender: Don't worry, guys, I'll never be too good or too evil again. From now on, I'll just be me.

    Leela: Uh, do you think you could be just little less evil than that.

    Bender: I don't know. Do you think you could survive a 700ft fall?

    [Fry chuckles.]

    Fry: Good old Bender!

    [Closing Credits. The Beastie Boys perform a remix of the theme over clips from the episode.]

    Beastie Boys: Yeah, yeah! This one goes out to my man, Bender,
    Sending this one out, special dedication,
    To all my peoples in the robot homeworld,
    Yeah, yeah! Big up with the Professor,
    My man, Dr. Zoidberg,
    I'd like to shout out-- a personal shout out to Leela,
    Fry! My man, Bender,
    Nibber, Nibbler, in the house,
    Big shout out to all Futurama!

  • FUTURAMA:The Beast with a Billion Backs 想说爱你并不是一件很容易的事


    06/13/08
    听到同样一个笑话,有人感觉是听天气预报,有人却会开怀大笑。不过,领略FUTURAMA的幽默却并不需要很高的英文水平,因为仅凭剧中几个活宝的表情与肢体语言你就已经被逗乐了。如果你碰巧对科幻小说与科幻影视还有那么一点点的了解与爱好,观看FUTURAMA时你可能常常露出会心的笑容。如果同样一部剧集你已经看到第三或第四遍还不觉得腻味,甚至从网上到处搜索资料,想要把每句台词和每帧画面中的包袱全都找出来时,你一定是被那些笑话背后的才情所打动,并且自动升级为铁杆粉丝了。

    不少FUTURAMA的粉丝的观众在观看The Beast with a Billion Backs之初可能会和我有着同样的感觉:与第一部电影Bender's Big Score相比,这部电影有失水准,至少是低于我们的期望值。科幻迷会发现这回的故事中既没有时空旅行也没有星球大战,作为主角的外星怪物不过是脑残鼻涕虫的升级版,而霍金教授客串的出场也许找个脱口秀主持人来演绎或许会更有意思。而想看言情片的观众尤其是支持F-L恋的那一拨人,本来以为有了BBS中Lars的铺垫,Fry与Leela的感情就会有新的进展,却在看过之后产生了向主创人员兴师问罪的冲动。

    这部影片的片名一部分引用了莎士比亚经典名剧《奥赛罗》中的对白,一部分引用了五十年代B级片《千眼怪》的片名。我在网上搜索了一下这部B级片,发现其DVD封面都是模仿《千眼怪》的风格。虽然不能说这是外星怪兽版的奥赛罗,但有一点可以肯定的是,正如David X. Cohen早前在采访中说过的那样,这是一个非常未来派作风的爱情故事。而我不得不承认,解放思想果然是这个世界上说起来最容易做起来最困难的事情之一。对这种另类爱情的认可与否,极大的考验着观众对“非正常事物”的接受能力。恐怕导演与编剧也想到了这一点,所以,本片的剧情发展曾一度试图挑战甚至颠覆我们对爱情的理念与幻想,但最终还是义无反顾的向主流文化回归。

    一开始Fry与新女友Colleen陷入了热恋,接受了Colleen还有四个来自欧亚非拉的男友的事实,甚至与他们搬到一起同住推掉了研究时空裂缝的光荣任务。但六个人同时围坐在餐桌旁的那种别扭,让Fry放弃了这段感情。这个地球上的伤心人无意中穿过时空裂缝,从另一个宇宙中生活的外星怪物Yivo身上找到了答案,甚至成了Yivo所宣扬的博爱教义的代言人,并且重新接受了Colleen。Bender在找到机器人地下组织之后,虽然口口声声反人类,但心中还是割舍不下对人类的感情,危难之时总有真情流露。

    然而,当宇宙中的所有生物都信仰了Yivo的教义、在Yivo创造的极乐世界里乐不思蜀时,Fry却想起了留在地球上的老朋友Bender,而正是这种思念把大家带回了家。最终两个来自不同宇宙不同种族却有着同样另类爱情观的有情人因为Fry这个大媒人而终成眷属。不过,虽然他们因为另类的爱情观而结缘,结果却和所有普通的伴侣一样只拥有彼此。而其余的地球人变种人机器人外星人体验过大爱之后还是要回家过普通的生活,拥有平凡的感情。另类文化的倡导者与跟随者,最终都是殊途同归。

    BBS中Bender用Fry纹身中的密码随意出入各个时空造成了时空裂缝,而C-Y走到一起后时空裂缝却消失了。在裂缝从出现到消失的过程中,Fry与Bender都在其中起到了穿针引线的作用。但是,Fry屁股上的纹身从哪儿来,为什么时空裂缝会消失,目前还是谜语,也许我们只有在将来的另外两部电影中才能找到答案。
     
    影片的最后,大伙儿被撵出了Yivo的极乐世界,有点失乐园的味道。只是此时众人皆醉,而机器人独醒,这个向来没心没肺的家伙一语道出了普通人爱的真谛:爱不是能与所有人分享的,爱让人多疑,爱让人无力。爱让人担惊受怕,又让人贪得无厌。朋友们,醋坛没打翻说明爱的不够深。我爱你们!

  • 重温十二国记


    01/05/08

    这几天,突然心血来潮,一直在土豆上面看TV版。晚饭后,正好看到45集完结。

    在这个异世界的冒险故事里,我几乎回想不起什么俊男美女或是刻骨铭心的爱情。麒麟是有的,妖魔怪物也是有的。

    面具。父母面前的乖孩子,老师与同学面前的优等生。

    谁敢比我惨?至少在遇到清秀之前,大木铃一直是这么想的。

    良师益友。乐俊、尚隆、老松

  • futurama与south park


    12/13/07

    年关将至,突然觉得,我大概有近半年的时间都没怎么看过日本动漫了。

    但细想起来发现,也不是一话都没看。毕竟有阵子追过大剑,偶尔也少不了死神和海贼王。只是,看时的感受已经变味,看过以后也几乎没什么印象。身怀绝技的少年在异世界的打斗冒险故事,现在之于我,难有共鸣与回味。反而是小人物的故事,更能撼动我这日趋麻木的神经。小人物在大未来的冒险,四个小人物唱大戏,正是我的新宠。

    其实严格来说,south park应该算是旧爱。记得刚上大学那会儿,我家还没有搬。楼下影碟出租店每天锣鼓震天响,到了晚上也不得安宁。新千年的钟声敲响时,我和大多数人一样,还没有意识到互联网将要给我们的生活带来的变化。就在这个窝在床上孵小鸡的寒假里,我误打误撞地租看了这部动画片的电影版,四个满口粗话的小贱孩儿顿时把我给震住了,或者说更多地是迷惑。现在想想,这应该算是标榜言论自由的美利坚带给我的又一次文化冲击。从我记事以来,美国的卡通片就等于电视里的米老鼠与唐老鸭、猫和老鼠、麦克老狼、花生狗、忍者神龟、变形金刚、最后的恐龙、希瑞与希曼,以及大荧幕上的狮子王、反斗奇兵与花木兰,而这south park算是那门子的动画片?

    在我人生的前十八年里,一直按照老师和父母的愿望前进,主要的精力都用来好好学习天天向上,视考名牌大学为人生目标,从未接触过如此肆无忌惮地调侃政客与名流的电视节目,更别说是卡通片。但这也仅仅是一面之缘而已,仿佛惊鸿一瞥之后便是擦肩而过,不再有什么交集。

    大学期间,美其名曰为了考计算机等级证书而让家里赞助6K自己去攒了一台PC,突击了一个月应付完考试之后,彻底变成了多媒体播放器。当时拨号上网费用高而效率低,即使是本电子书都要下很久,现在真的无法想象当时用那种速度下载文件的心情。所以大多数时候,我最常做的就是去电脑城大肆采购D版的电影与动画片,而每次把买来的片子看完觉得没什么回味的时候就以质量问题退换成新片子来看。穷学生的厚脸皮碰上了小商贩的好脾气,也算是大学时代的美好回忆之一。

    快大学毕业时刚好赶上非典,课是不必上了,完成毕业论文实习之余有着大把的时间。这时我家也淘汰了拨号上网的设备,开始迎接宽带时代的到来。正巧一个高中同学也是动漫同好者,给了我一个长宽的FTP帐号,而等着我的正是日本动漫的饕餮盛宴。虽然没过一两个月这个帐号就因为流量过大而被长宽封掉,但由此受益过的人无不在内心向资源的共享者致以深深的敬意。

    而宽带的普及,让下载几百兆的文件不再是个难题。而全球化的资源共享也让我得以重新涉及美国的卡通片。想想十分有趣,小时候看得都是大英雄的传奇,大了却开始喜欢小人物的故事。也许是慢慢地开始觉得,面对一切的不如意,需要的不是大智大勇与绝世奇功,而是向前看与幽默感。

  • 可爱的大盗贼


    07/21/07

    儿时特别喜欢一部木偶剧,主人翁是个自称霍真普洛茨老爷的大盗贼。他得意之余总会唱起小曲:

    绿色的森林里 有树又有花 没有告密者 也没有警察
    我是个大盗贼 什么也不怕 生活多自在 整天乐哈哈

    有一天他手持胡椒枪,打劫了老奶奶的生日礼物——一个会唱歌咖啡磨,小机灵鬼儿卡斯帕尔和他那个迷糊的好朋友左培尔决心帮助警察找回奶奶的咖啡磨,故事从此开始

  • 激活


    06/27/07

    “又在看动画片啊,你什么时候才能长大?”每次听到这样的话,我都以笑代答。

    每个人在生活中都有想揿下Esc键的时候,随着新世纪的到来,不知不觉患上抑郁症,滥用药物、纵欲、酗酒的人渐渐多了起来。在人生最阴霾的日子里,我在动漫构筑的世界里寻求解脱之法。

    在那里,对于真实的世界并没有回避,同样也没有放弃。在最残酷的地方,仍然有最温柔的梦想。而这一切,呵呵,实在不足为外人道也。

    也许某种意义上说,我们永远也不会长大成人——只不过变得精炼而已。在每个成人的身上,都可看到童年的影子。一个真正成熟的人会与自我中的这个儿童保持着联系,偶尔还会表现一下,但又不至于幼稚。象儿童那样体验所有快感,去彻底的爱,对来自所爱的人的任何批评都忍受得了,对一切都充满好奇心和兴趣等等,具备这样的能力反而是成熟的根本要素。

    在动漫为伴的成长过程中,希望自己永远能保持一种回到童年的能力:)
