It's Not All Bad News for "Futurama" Fans, Thanks To Show's So-Developer David X. Cohen

JamCity
If you are a big fan of Futurama like myself and were saddened by the news that Netflix was removing episodes from the cult-classic futuristic cartoon, then the show's co-developer David X. Cohen has come to the rescue!

Recently it's been seen on Netlflix that various seasons of Futurama have been removed (only seasons 6 and 7 remain, which are divided into 2 parts and listed on Netflix as seasons 7 to 10), and naturally Futurama fans took to social media to express their discontent...most utilizing the show's own memes to do so.

Before we go any further, I need to get this out of my system:





...There. 
(I didn't mean for all the Futurama memes to be just of Professor Farnsworth, it just happened.) 

But it's not all "bad news, everyone!" (Get it?!? Okay, I'll get back to the topic...)

During a recent Reddit AMA, the show's creator Matt Groening and head writer David X. Cohen, along with principal voice actors Billy West and John DiMaggio, talked about Futurama, during which Cohen revived hopes of new things for the show! 

Although Cohen made it clear that "no new TV episodes or movies [are] in the pipeline at the moment", he went on to say that there is a "different avenue of exciting Futurama news later this summer, no kidding." That's all we needed to hear! 

Even though David X. Cohen told fans to "keep your expectations modest", as a big Futurama fan any Futurama news are great news! While the co-developer wasn't allowed to elaborate more on what news exactly await the futuristic cartoon's franchise, Cohen does believe fans "will be pleased, possibly." Though not much information is known on what exactly are the show's summer news (as there is no information), it hasn't stopped Futurama fans like myself from speculating on what exactly Cohen was talking about. Some fans have speculated that another new Futurama app game awaits, while others believe it may come in the form of comics and other specialty collectible items - in whatever form, we are READY and here for it! 

So even though the new Futurama news don't involve new TV episodes or movies, that doesn't make me any less excited for the news nor does it take away the possibility of future Futurama TV episodes or movies - Billy West, who voices various characters on the show including Philip J. Fry and Zapp Brannigan, certainly seemed open to the possibility and voiced so in the same Reddit AMA that Cohen revived our Futurama-loving spirits!

So until we learn what exactly awaits the beloved cartoon franchise, let's hope for cool stuff and remember: 
(Unless you don't like Zoidberg, then you have the Futurama summer news to look forward to!)

Sincerely, Dora Goto who may have the Futurama theme song as her ringtone

Having Breakfast at Tiffany's is NOW OFFICIALLY a Reality

Paramount Pictures If you're a big Aubrey Hepburn fan or simply a fan of good films from the 1960's like Breakfast at Tiffany's , then you'll probably be giddy as I to find out that an actual café store has opened at the fourth floor of the iconic Tiffany & Co. store located in Fifth Avenue in New York City. The café store is called Blue Box Café (rambling a little bit here so you have time to write it down, okay that's enough), officially opened its doors today, and according to a  review by Vogue  of the café's opening, it offers a $29 breakfast menu option that includes coffee and croissant with the "choice of an avocado toast, truffled eggs, or a smoked salmon bagel with schmear." But Blue Box Café will not only offer breakfast options (* very delicious breakfast options ), as  the  Vogue  review  noted that the cafe also offers lunch options at $39 (which include a starter and main course), including the "Charles Lewis Tiffany"...
