I'm excited that Takei and Gygax are back... even though Gygax is dead. :(

I was about to tell you that Gary Gygax wasn't in this movie, but the review's cast list DOES include him. He has never been mentioned as being in the movie until now. Only Takei and Little.

I was going to say the same. I'm pleasantly surprised to read that he is indeed in the movie (assuming the reviewer isn't pulling a fast one on us). I know some of us were ruing months ago that he wasn't in it.
 
I thought the first movie was perfect, while the second one not so much. It felt too much like 4 separate episodes stitched together, and the robot subplot didn't go where it felt like it was going to.
 
I don't get when people say the Robot plot didn't go anywhere. The whole reason behind it was to show Bender's feelings towards Fry when Fry keeps ditching him for being with either Colleen or Yivo. Bender turning to hate humans is a direct response to this, which, ironically, leads to Bender using the Robots to bring the humans back at the end. Will the LoR come up again in the next movie? Probably not, but that is typical of many episodes of Futurama where the characters would still be involved with something, only for it to never be mentioned again.

You hate Hedonism Bot!? But he loves life and its pleasures more than anybody here!

For the record, I liked both movies a lot and have watched them several times, but I consider Bender's Big Score a true classic episode, whereas The Beast With a Billion Backs was more of a normal episode - nothing wrong with it, but not as good. (that and once the universe started dating Yivo it all becomes rather less funny and makes even less sense than Futurama usually does.)

Surgery in an opera? How delightfully decadent!
