Giveaway: Win Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs on DVD!
By Great White Snark | June 17, 2008
The next feature-length Futurama flick, Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs, is droppping on DVD next week, and I’ve got three copies from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment to give away to you fortunate people.
In their latest extraterrestrial exploits, Bender, Fry, Leela and crew encounter a repulsive, planet-sized creature with billions of probing tentacles… and soon find themselves involved in a disturbing – yet sensuous – interplanetary love story.
I’ll have a full review forthcoming within the next week, but for now all you need to know is that it’s chock full of extras, Arrested Development’s David Cross, and Brittany Murphy’s most convincing voice work since portraying a dumb blonde on King of the Hill.
To sign up to win one of three brand-new copies of Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs on DVD:
- If you haven’t already, get an e-mail subscription to Great White Snark. It won’t cost you nuthin’.
- Leave a comment on this post. In the “Mail (will not be published)” field, enter the same e-mail address of your subscription, so I know who you are.
- In the comment, indicate your favorite killer robot.
I’ll randomly select the winners and announce them in an update to this post next Tuesday, June 24, the release date of the DVD.
UPDATE: The random number generator picked out comments 3,6, and 10. Nickolai, Paul, and Dan, congrats!

It’s gotta be Wall-E.
*SPOILER ALERT*
The second half of the movie will blow your mind.
*END SPOILER*

I’m plumping for HK-47, the murdering protocol droid from the Star Wars KOTOR II video game - die meatbags!

The “Gangster Robots!” Thanks, Cindi

Hmmmmm I think my favorite killer robot would have to be the T800s from Terminator… partially in honor of the late great Stan Winston and mostly because they fuggen rule.

Hayden Christensen in the Star Wars prequels. He’s clearly an emotionless robot, and his performances killed my inner child.

Thanks for the giveaway! I loved iRobot - so any of those bad boys would be my choice.

I’m subscribed. Loved the Futurama when it was on the telly. Anyway, favorite killer robot? Does the ball from ‘Phantasm’ count?
Probably not. Then I’ll go with bounty hunters IG-88 and 4-LOM from the Star Wars universe. They had tiny screen time, but they looked pretty killer. W00t?

HAL from Space Odyssey, for sure! (At least, I think he qualifies as a robot? He/It is a computer, right? Right? ) If it doesn’t count, then, I, too, vote for any of the Terminator robots. Thanks for the contest.

So many good choices. Most people have already said some good ones so I’ll whip out one that no one has said yet…
My favorite killer robot is Ash from Alien.
2nd place would probably go to Roberto from Futurama, because he’s STABBY!
I will say though that the Hayden Christensen comment made me chuckle. A lot.

Optimus Prime!! Actually his whole gang was pretty cool, uh, I mean bad.
