One word: Thundercougarfalconbird!
by JavieR [ January 05, 2009 ]
Thundercougarfalconbird 3D by George Jumara From the episode 2ACV07, Put Your Head on my Shoulder:
 
Salesman: Spotted her the minute you walked in, didn't you, sir? She's a real beauty.
Fry: Yup, she's beautiful coffee alright.
Salesman: No, the Ford Thundercougarfalconbird! Nothing makes you feel more like a man than a Thundercougarfalconbird. So how much were you thinking of spending on this Thundercougarfalconbird?
Fry: Sorry, I'm not here to buy.
Salesman: I understand, and it's wonderful you don't care whether anyone questions your sexual orientation.
Fry: I care! I care plenty! I just don't know how to make them stop!
Salesman: One word: Thundercougarfalconbird!

That's the scene that Jumara, a new artist around here used to create two amazing 3D images featuring the Ford Thundercougarfalconbird. One featured here, and the other of the Thundercougarfalconbird hovering in the city. Also, be sure to come back for a full Flash website featuring the Thundercougarfalconbird!.

In other news, I'm having problems with my home ISP (Internet Provider), meanwhile you may not see many updates.
Happy New Year 2009!
by JavieR [ December 31, 2008 ]
Hello, and have a Happy New Year 2009!
tfp wishes you a happy new year 2009!

This has been a nice 2008 over here, with the Futurama movies and news around them. I hope you liked the updates by the fans ar for the fans and the sections I've added to the site this year.
I apologize for the small periods of time when I didn't update TFP, when I forgot to add something a fan sent, or if I didn't answer an email you sent.
BTW, I've changed the news icons at the bottom of each news entry, it looks more harmonious with the rest of the new design (that I still has to name, mmm, I'll leave that for 2009).

Leela's foot over Fry's Head by Frygirl (Yume93) I really hope you had a great xmas, I had a nice one. Today's update (that I was gonna add earlier) features two artist on the Fanart section. The first one is Maria M Salazar with 4 new images.. 2 of them featuring Fry and Leela, and the others are a Mythology parody and A Clockwork's Orange parody. The other artist is Frygirl (Yume93), and I've added 5 or her images, featuring 2 Leela and Fry shippy pics, one of Leela and the Robot Devil (a present for MissusPatches), an image of Fry and Bender and other of Zapp and Fry (two 'not usual' situations that Sofi is used to draw).
Futurama Xmas (Christmas) wallpaper
by JavieR [ December 22, 2008 ]
Futurama Xmas Trilogy (Kwanzabot, Robot Santa and the Hanukkah Zombie) Wallpaper by JavieR (javoec) Hello again. Like I said before, I've not created a Xmas Layout this year, so instead, I've created a new Xmas Wallpaper for all of you to enjoy. This background features the 3 rulers of Xmas in the next millenium, they are called, the Futurama Xmas Trilogy.

From left to right: Kwanzabot, Robot Santa (also known as Santabot) and the Hanukkah Zombie. This wallpaper was based in the first Futurama movie, Bender's Big Score, so now you can have them in your desktop for this holidays. BTW, the preview over here is a crop of the original wall, so be sure to check it out.. and who knows, maybe I will come up with the widescreen and dualscreen version, but only if I've enough time.
New design at The Futurama Point
by JavieR [ December 21, 2008 ]
You maybe noticed the change this morning, and well, it was time for a change.. the past layout (now in the Past Designs section) was great, but I wanted a fresh start in 2009 (fresh = green). Let's begin with the features I've added to this new design:
  • New slide show at the top of the site. You'll find there, the more important TFP news, info about the new movies and interesting news that need to be noticed in all the sections
  • You can choose, fixed or wide design... change it anytime with 2 small grey buttons, at the top left of the content box.
  • You can now show/hide the main sections of the site clicking over the headers (info, media, budds...) if you're short in space, or if you just don't wanna see something (the header will turn gray)
  • 3 Top Buttons for quick access to the futurama news, movies and rss sections of the site.
I've yet to change the design of the Share Item and Go to Article buttons of each news item, and I'll change the design of the guestbook very soon. If you want to suggest something about the design, colors, or if you notice any error, please let me know and I'll see what I can do.

It should be rendering fine in Firefox, IE7, IE6, Opera 9 and Safari.. please let me know if you're having issues because I've only Windows to check for those issues. The reason why the design is not in CSS only is because of IE6 and because many of the sections are very old and I've to change those ones to CSS too (and that's a lot of work right now).

Well, that's all, enjoy it, and sorry, no Xmas Layout this time.. but I'll add a new xmas wallpaper very soon, so stay tuned.

The 2nd Futurama Movie, The Beast with a Billion Backs was nominated for an Annie Award in the Best Animated Home Entertainment Production category, just like Bender's Big Score was nominated, later won that award last year. The nominees in that category are:
