While partying the Planet Express crew's return to the air, Hermes, the company's resident beaurecrat, is challenged to a limbo contest, and ends up being beheaded. When Hermes is sent to the hospital, Hermes' wife leaves him because his body can't be salvaged in time, and takes their child, Dwight Conrad, with her. Meanwhile, Leela meets the handsome Lars, who works at the hospital feeding heads. Leela finds Lars charming, as does Lars, but Fry is jealous of Leela's infatuation with Lars.
They then must make an emergency delivery to the Nude Beach Planet. They all have naked fun (though you never do get to see the nudity) as many nudist INternet scammers ask for their e-mail adresses posing as organizations looking for petition signers. When the crew returns to Earth, they find they recieve spam, which all they fall to prey. Bender is downloaded the "iObey" virus, which causes him to obey the scammers every demand, and the company is signed over to the Internet scammers.
The Internet scammers hatch a plan to scam all of Earth. While sreaching for more information, such as social security cards, they come across the time-travel code. On Fry's ass.
They force Bender to steal a doomsday device the Professor (Hubert J. Farnsworth) created.
They use the code to have Bender travel back in time, steal history's most prized treasures and Bender return to the year 3007 and gives the scammers the precious jewels and such. Meanwhile, Lars and Leela begin to fall madly in love with each other, as Fry feels the jealousy oercoming him. Hermes also asks Bender to go back into the past and retrieve a time-copy of his body, though time-copies are always doomed. Dr. Zoidberg then tries to put Hermes' head back on his body, but puts it on backwards.

Once the Internet scammers have all they need, they order Bender to kill Fry and erase the code from his memory. Fry runs and repeats the time code and returns to the year 2000, 30 minutes after he was frozen. Bender also returns, two minutes before Fry returns. Bender drinks cheap beer, and needs to go to the bathroom. He repeats the code, and goes back in time 9 seconds earlier, and goes to the bathroom. The other Bender attempts to kill Fry, but Fry puts him in a cryogenics freezer for 1 million years. He then heads back to Pannucci's Pizza to relive his life in the year 2000.
Bender searches for twelve years for Fry, still trying to kill him. Finally, he finds him in an apartment above Panucci's Pizza, and blows up the place, assuming Fry is dead. He then feels guilty for killing his best friend.
He returns to the future, the virus is cured and the time code is erased.
A funeral is held for Fry's return to the past. Bender tells the Planet Express crew what he did to Fry, but then Fry comes back.
After he returned to Panucci's Pizza in 2000, he asked for some pizza, but only had future money to pay for it, which he was of course, not able to use. He goes back the Cyrogenics Lab for the pizza left there, but it was cold as ice. He uses the time code to back in time and eat the same pizza from 30 minutes ago, which was warm. He then begins to miss the future, so he crawl into his chamber, (there is three Frys at this point, FYI) and freezes himself till the year 2999, and then freezes himself 7 years more.

Meanwhile, the story of Fry's time copy is told to the viewers through clips back into the past. Fry #2 is unpacking in his new apartment above Panucci's Pizza (in the year 2000), he comes across a new bulletin about Leelu, a sea mammal who won't eat. Fry fills out for a job trying to get Leelu to eat. Then, in 2010, Leelu is released back into the wild, and Fry #2 seeks out Leelu, to bring her back to his apartment. When realizing Leelu was better in the wild, he releases her, and returns to Old New York.

In the future, the planet Earth is facing a financial depression, living in the streets, with nothing to live for. Leela and Lars become engaged, and plan a wedding. At the wedding, Hermes body is destroyed, and Lars becomes outraged and cancels the wedding.
President Nixon, thinking he's signing a deal to get Earth back, hands over the remaining parts of Earth to the scammers, leaving all of Earth owned by the Internet scammers, who forces all Earthicans to evacuate Earth.
The Planet Express serves as the ship to Jupiter, where Santa is stationed. They convince Nizon to finance a war on the scammers, which Santa, Hanukkah Zombie, and Kwanza-Bot, Al Gore, Cubert Farnsworth and Dwight Slim (he changed his name to his new father's, Barbados Slim) and many others fight in, and the commander is none other Zapp Brannigan.
The war begins. Once it would seem all of the Death Stars, owned by the Internet scammers, are gone, there is the scammers' ship, and reveals they have the doomsday device.
Bender goes into an apology, while secretly showing everyone that he, instead, scammed the scammers and has the doomsday device. He slips it down their ejacuation vent, which Leela "accidentally" pushes, and the scammers, are dead.
At the party celebrating the return of Earth to its rightful owners, Fry sees Leela is still upset about Lars leaving her at the altar. Fry tries to put them back together. The reunion is cut short by Nudar, the lead scammer, who has survived the doomsday device. He can still feel the time code, though Nibbler destroyed it. Nudar claims the code is on Lars, and Lars tricked Nudar over to a cyrogenic tube, with Bender #2 in it, who is still on overload, and explodes, killing Bender #2, Nudar and Lars. It is revealed that Lars did in fact have the time code.
Meanwhile, we see what happened when Bender blew up Panucci's Pizza. Instead of Fry dying, all of his hair falls of and his larynx is injured, revealing that he is Lars Fillmore. When realizing this, he runs to the Cyrogenics Lab to freeze himself (in his ex-girlfriend, Michelle's tube) so he can be with Leela.
Lars video will reveals this at his funeral. Bender then rips off the time code on Lars, travels back in time to put it on the Fry in the freeze chamber. While doing this, he convinces his other time copies (who are stealing things for the scammers), to come back to the Planet Express building, altogether. Since time copies are always doomed, this causes a rip in the universe.

My verdict: This movie is hilarious, I'd give it an A. It would recieve an A+, but there were a two things I found wrong with it.
First, I think the opening theme song should've been placed earlier.
Second, it would be hard for someone who does not watch the series to understand the movie. To fully understand the movie, you would've had to see the following episodes:
"Space Pilot 3000"
"Xmas Story"
"The Cryonic Woman"
"The Day the Earth Stood Stupid"
Other than that, it is a great movie. It is definetely not a family movie, seeing as children could not understand the concept of Internet scammers, and you see a lot of ass, and contains a lot of language.
If you are a fan of Futurama, and looking for a movie to lighten life's load, I recommend Bender's Big Score.

---

Psst...if you do not want to waste the time watching the recommended episodes, at least go here so you can fully understand what is going on here.

I give you the top songs by each year I have lived, starting with the year I was born, 1993.

Dear Blender magazine,

I know many consider you a "music magazine", but I found your comparison between the Jonas Brothers and the Beatles very upsetting and un-music-magazine-like at all.

Though you post pictures of naked girls unrelated to music, I would've even considered Playboy more tasteful than to compare a legendary, inspiring band such as the Beatles to Tiger Beat's flavor of the month, the Jonas Brothers. I had some faith in you, but after that article (and I haven't even read it yet!), I have lost all faith in you.

First, I would like to show a part of some lyrics behind one of their songs (and one of my personal favorites, ever), the song "Let It Be"
"And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Yeah
There will be an answer, let it be."
This song is an inspirational, beautiful song that was about their break-up (correct me if I'm mistaken) that sounds more than lovely and awfully beautiful, so beatiful, I couldn't think of any other adjectives to describe this song.

Now for a song by the Jonas Brothers. This is a snippet from the song, "S.O.S.".
"I told you I made dinner plans
For you and me and no one else
That don't include your crazy friends
Well I'm done
With awkward situations, empty conversations

Oooo this is an S.O.S.
Don't wanna second guess
This is the bottom line it's true
I gave my all for you
Now my hearts in two
And I can't find the other half
It's like I'm walkin on broken glass
Better believe I bled
It's a call I'll never get"
First off, I know of no girl or guy that would invite their friends on a dinner date, unless it was a DOUBLE DATE! Understand the meaning of double date Jonas Brothers?
Second, the video is ridiculous. Do you really think a girl would ignore a guy her own age for a pint-sized rich twelve year-old? No.
Thridly, the rhyming in here is so desperate. Like when I used to write songs that HAD to rhyme, they were so shitty, even Heidi Montag wouldn't record them.
And finally, we get it. You're done with the relationship. You don't have to repeat it five-hundred times to make your point clear.

Now, for the final reason why the Jonas Brothers could never be the Beatles.
Almost 38 years after they're break-up (in 1970), they still leave an impact on music.
In 20 years, they will most likely leave no impact on music. When I have children, and I mention the Jonas Brothers, they will likely say "Who the fuck are they?". The only impact they will leave is on third grade girls who's male classmates think they have "cooties".

Shalom,
Brittany

We see women and men on television, sneaking into the evil villain's lair, to stop him from taking over the world.
We are told that is what courage is.
Though that does take courage to stop an evil villain, I would like to share what REAL courage is.

"Courage is knowin' you're gonna get a lickin' when you start, but you stick through 'till the very end." Atticus told his son, Jem, in To Kill A Mockingbird.
Though all those characters were fictional, Atticus was spot on on his definition of courage.
Courage is when you do something that could have very awful consequences, but you do it because you know it's right.
In To Kill A Mockingbird, Atticus defends Tom Robinson, a black man, for being accused of raping Mayella Ewell, a white girl. In that time of the setting, Tom stood no chance against an all-white male jury who saw Tom as a black man, so he must've been a rapist. Atticus knew he wouldn't win. But Atticus knew it was the right thing to do.

Billie Holliday, a black woman, was a jazz singer in the 30s and 40s. She was given a song entitled "Strange Fruit", a song about lynching.
In case you didn't know, lynching was an awful sport, you could call it, where a white mob would take a black person, who they thought committed a crime, and hang him, or even drag them by the back of a car. During that time, it was considered a sport, a picnic event. Men, women and even children all gathered to watch this event, as if it were a picnic.
Billie, first performed this song in front of an intergrated club. She was quite scared to perform it, afraid of retaliation. In her time, many didn't consider women or blacks intelligent, or courageous.
She stood on the stage, listened to her courage, and sang that song. There was silence afterward, until one person clapped. Then, the room was filled with applause.

Nellie Bly, a journalist for the New York World, was a female during a time when women were considered good for housework and raising children.
Nellie accepted a challenge for an undercover report about the conditions at Blackwell Island Insane Asylum. She faked insanity, by checking into a boardinghouse and refusing to go to bed, faking amnesia in a courtroom, and even appealed crazy to doctors at Bellevue Hospital.
She found the food served inedible, and the nurses to be abusive. She was released from Blackwell from the request of the New York World. Her story was published in the newspaper, and launched an investigation by a grand jury, with Nellie's assisstance.

And the most recent case, Hayden Panettiere.
On Halloween of 2007, as Japan began their annual dolphin hunt, Hayden and five other Australia and American surfers paddled out to a pod of dolphins, attempting to release them. This lasted for ten minutes until they were asked to return to the beach. They drove back to Osaka and boarded an international flight to escape arrest.
Though she does have a warrant arrest in Japan, she felt it was right, and tried to free the dolphins.

ikkyg, a user on Buzznet, has started a new project where she sings songs she wrote herself on video.
That takes a lot of courage to sing a song on video, let alone your heart and soul.
omgparamore, another Buzznet user, will soon be going into surgery, and is facing it with a smile.
And everyone's favorite panasonicyouth, is more than proud to admit he is gay, in a one-minded society.

Courage is more than lurking to stop an evil villain.

Thank you.
Shalom.

Here is my testimony on sexual abuse. A warning: it may start to get graphic.

---

I was in sixth grade when I met JT*. He was sitting behind me in Mrs. Trochim's class on the first day of school. He had his schedule taped on the front of his binder. As a joke, I read aloud his schedule. He immediately slammed his binder down, to hide it from me. I asked, jokingly, if he liked me, to which he replied "Maybe".
After that, we didn't talk to each other or acknowledge existences until seventh grade.

In seventh grade, he, like a lot of other kids in school, transferred back to Mt. Solo, seeing as Monticello Middle School, Mt. Solo Middle School, and Cascade Middle School, where I attended, were all done remodeling. I remained at Cascade, loathing every minute of it.

In seventh grade, my mom made me go to youth group at Calvary Community Church. I went, but was terrified for I didn't know a single soul there. But I saw him there.

Next week, I went up to talk to him. We chatted a bit.

For the rest of the year, we became good friends.

I started to get a crush on him. There were two girls, Savannah and Rickie, who asked me if I liked. I was not one to lie, especially in a church, so I confessed. The next week, they told him. I almost dumped my Coke on them.

On a church retreat, two of my cabinmates, Johnna and Kindra, found out I liked him when I asked them if they had seen him. They ran to tell him, I ran to keep it from him. Finally I confessed to him. Our friendship did not change.

Until the bus ride home, when he was snuggling with my friend, Cyndy, who had a boyfriend, and he had a girlfriend.
His girlfriend, according to her classmates, was addicted to drugs, sex, and had anorexia. I loathed not just her behavior, but who fell for her behavior like the sun revolving the Earth. Him.
The first time I had even heard of her, she had cheated on him. With the whole school.

Eigth grade, and I finally met this girl. She was skinnier than half of William Beckett, and looked like a girl from school who I hated.
The next week, she broke up with him. I had found my chance to flirt with him.

Months later, he gave me my first kiss. Words couldn't describe the high I felt.
Throughout all this time before the kiss, I had finally come to the conclusion that I loved him. I told him. He said, "A lot of other girls say the same thing."

During a church retreat, I had attempted to commit suicide (more about that in another post), partly because he wasn't speaking to me, and I felt like an outsider.
When I got out of the hospital, my mom and I agreed that I should start home-schooling.
When I called him weeks after the incident, he told me that when he'd heard I went to the hospital (he did not know of the suicide part), he cried for ten minutes. When I told him why I was sent to the hospital, he couldn't get over the fact that he could've "said something, done something to prevent it."

Nonetheless, I spent two or three months home alone, while he was at Mt. Solo, flirting up a storm with girls IQ points lower than Jessica Simpson's movie on a scale of one to ten.

During the summer entering ninth grade, we went to see The Simpsons Movie. We sat in the back row. During the middle of it, for no reason, he started holding onto me. I started holding back. I didn't find it odd, but I was glad he was finally putting moves on me.

Then, we helped decorate my sister's house. We were alone. When we were finished, we watched Date Movie. I wasn't feeling well, so I laid down in front of the TV. Minutes later, I felt him right behind me, laying against me. I just ignored it and watched the movie (which was kinda boring, by the way).
At a part when they opened to Carmen Electra's character's Maxim shoot, I imitated her, flipping the bird to the ceiling. Ever the "religious" one, he asked for me not to do that. I did it again. He put himself on top of me, shoved his tognue down my throat. I laid there, not knowing what to do. He then came up, and gave me a weird look, like I didn't like him.
"Don't flip off God" he said. Wondering what else he could possibly do, I flipped the bird again. He then jokingly got back top of me, like he was going to have sex with me. We never got anywhere close, or even spoke of the moment.

A week later, we went to see I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Towards a part of it, he told me I was giving him a boner. I shurgged it off as some stupid guy move.
I put my hand on his stomach, seeing as he took the arm rest. He grabbed my hand, and put it a bit further. I felt something slimey. I looked to see his penis, with my hand wrapped around, and his hand holding it there. Horrified, I jumped out of my seat and ran for the bathroom.
I washed my hands multiple times. I felt so scared, petrified, and confused. What was I to do?
I crawled back into the theater, hoping he wouldn't have some other surprise. Instead, he kissed me and apologized profusely. I accepted it, thinking nothing else could go worse.

Ninth grade started, and I met with my good friend, Faith*, on orientation (nightmare, by the way). I pointed him out to her, and she thought he was cute.
They had a class together, and started talking non-stop.
I had told Faith everything that went on between JT and I.

Two weeks into the school year, I sent Faith a message over MySpace, telling her I was going to ask JT to the school dance.
"I'm kinda going out with him. We can still be friends, right?" she replied.
"Fuck no." I replied. I then pressed "Send", logged off of my computer, and screamed.
My mom asked what happened, and I told her everything.
She gave me a choice, I could either go to my cousin's son's first birthday party, or go to my sister's house. Fearing that the memories would come back, I toughed up and headed to my aunt's house.

On the way, I put in my trusty Santi. "Same Blood" came on roaring through my ears. For the first (and last) time in my life, I skipped over it, not wanting to listen to it. I did the same with the other songs, until it reached "Everything We Had". All of the sudden, I felt calmed, soothed.
"You are the only face I'd ever known". No other words could've spoken to me like that.
I gently pressed repeat, wanting the feeling to stay.
After an hour of listening to it, I felt good enough to walk into my aunt's house to wish little Gracin a happy birthday.

For that weekend, I was not at all happy about the expierence. I talked of wanting to kill both of them, of marching to her place and stabbing her in the back as she did me, and stabbing him in the heart as he did me.
My mom, knowing I was not mentally well enough, made me miss Monday to get my thoughts together.
The only time I felt safe and well through that weekend was when "Everything We Had" played through my CD player, as William gently sang my thoughts away.

After a week of almost-confrontations and tears, I finally was on the path of letting go.
My last thing to do, was write him a letter.
In it, I revealed MY side of the story of what she had told him about me, and left him one last thing. The lyrics to "Everything We Had", for him to read, and know how I felt throughout her whole lying and decieting to get a guy she only ended up dating for three weeks.
I put it in a homemade envelope, and gave it to him.

I am no longer friends with either Faith or JT. I could not be any happier. Getting rid of them was like getting rid of the toxins holding me back from a happy life.

---

*Names have been changed.

Please, do not associate "Everything We Had" with sexual abuse, because that song is meaningful to me, because I was in love with him, and we had so much, but he threw it away for a whore.

Thank you for reading my story.

Shalom.

The brother of the beloved Adam Siska, bassist of The Academy Is...
The childhood friend of the beloved William Beckett, lead vocalist of The Academy Is...
Student teacher in Illinois
And now
Survivor contestant.

Firstly, let me say "YIPEE!" More Sisky! More Sisky! More Sisky!

Next, let me hope that when Jason has to invite a friend onto the island, he invites either his brother, or William Beckett.
But hopefully, he doesn't lie about his grandmother.
Or any relative for that matter.

Thirdly, Adam and Jason look A LOT alike!
It is so weird.

So anyways, I think I might actually be watching Survivor now.

So, in my Honors English class, we are starting a unit on poetry.
Our Bell Assignment: Write on how you view poetry.
Most Answers: "Boring", "Hard to understand", "long"
Next Assignment: Write on the board on reasons why you read poetry.
One Actual Reason: "My teacher told me to."
Views on the beloved Edgar Allen Poe: "Emo"

Do you see something upsetting here?
This is an HONORS English class, and I have never been more ashamed in my life.
"Boring"? Hardly.
Edgar Allen Poe emo? If your wife died, you'd be depressed too.

And this isn't all.

In our choir class, we got two lovely pieces to sing from, "Scarborough Fair" and "The Bells" by Edgar Allen Poe.
"Scarborough" was deemed to hard and boring (though later we sang a song that was super fast, yet extremely difficult) whilst everyone said about "The Bells", "This guy must be insane."
I also talked to our pianist, and she agreed with me that these songs were lovely.

Is it just me, or is this generation damned?
In a society where we spend half our time watching a bunch of housewives banging the gardener, many deem this more entertaining the poetry (I beg to differ.)

I will admit that when I was younger (like, 6th grade younger), I did not like poetry. My 11-year-old attention span could not handle the the boring descriptions.

Once I got a Buzznet account, that changed greatly. I started looking at some content of my friends, and I find the works of a lovely Miss Sarah.

Then, when I was in home-schooling, I was assigned to read two poems by Edgar Allen Poe. "The Raven" and "Annabel Lee".

I am now a huge fan of Edgar Allen Poe, and have considered naming my future children Annabel Lee, Lenore and Poe.

Which makes me wonder why our generation is seriously more concerned about how Sandra Oh will live without (homophobic ass) Isaiaah (sp?) Washington, then what the Raven really means by "Nevermore"

Our generation is culturally damned. I do not see how we can fix this, but if you have any ideas, please let me know.

Will we ever see another day where true art shines "Nevermore"

Sorry I haven't been updating these, but here they are! Back and ready for action!

Whenever one of my favorite bands hits it big, I feel like a mother watching their child grow up.
I am proud they're going on to big and better things.
And yet, I am scared they will no longer be my "babies".
But I can let go and watch them be given the royal treatment they deserve.

Take Paramore for example.

I remember when I first heard one of their songs I fell in love with so. "My Heart". It was on clandestinegirl77's profile playlist. I listened to it, and was instantly smitten with the song.
I then trekked to my local music store, Just Music & Movies, and bought All We Know. When I got home, I put the CD into my CD player. The opening song came on, "All We Know is Falling". I was smitten. The next song, "Pressure" came on. I was in love again. Needless to say, the cycle repeated with EVERY song on the CD.
I ended up falling in love with the band, obsessing over their music, searching far and wide on Buzznet for music videos and pictures.
A few months later, Paramore announced they were making a new record. I waited many a while for the album to come out.
The day it came out, I begged my mom to take me to Just Music & Movies to get RIOT! I walked in, with $20 on hand, and luckily found it. I payed for it, and was counting down the seconds until I could listen to it. Money well spent.
Then, their third year on Warped Tour arrived. They were headliners, which earned them spots on the TRL countdown.
They countinued to earn fame from MTV, eventually becoming their Artist of the Week.
I felt a bit scared that Paramore would no longer be my band, if you know what I mean. I was scared they would gain a lot of so-so fans that would only stick with them for the platinum records.
Then I realized that it made them happy. That they loved being on MTV. And I loved them, and I wanted the best for them, so I got over their MTV exposure.

Now to the most recent example: Cobra Starship.

Many a Buzznet user has loved this band from the first line "Times are strange, we got a free upgrade for Snakes on a Plane", and I consider myself one of them. Afterwards, I didn't fall severely in love, until "Send My Love to the Dancefloor, I'll See You in Hell", and I realized, I wanted While The City Sleeps, We Rule the Streets. I searched all over Arizona, where I was vacationing, for that CD. I was not disappointed.
A couple months later, Cobra Starship announced their new album, !Viva La Cobra!, was coming out. I began concocting plans to get a copy of the CD, quite soon.
The day the album came out, I decided to take my friends out to Just Music & Movies during lunch to get my copy of Viva La Cobra. I was ecstatic to get my hands on it.
But alas, they were out of stock. I then ordered to pick it up the next day. But my friends were quite angry that I made them walk a long way to get a CD I ended up not even getting. But then we got pizza and everything was fine.
But don't fret, I did get my !Viva La Cobra!, the next day. And the sore legs and money was well spent.
They are now currently MTV's Artist of the Week.
And I couldn't be any happier for them. Gabe, Ryland, Alex, Nate and Vicky T., all deserve the fame and fortune they could possibly get. I wish them the best.
And they even said they will not change because of success.

My little babies Paramore and Cobra Starship, have grown up to MTV, and even though I'm going to miss being one of the few in my school to admire my babies, I will countinue doing stupid and drastic things to get my hands on their CDs.

If you disagree with this, please let me know. I am just expressing to many fans why it's best to sit back and watch your fave bands recieve the fame and fortune they've worked hard for and so rightfully deserve.

Thank you for reading this!
Love from,
Brittany
