Title

There are currently two sources for the title of this episode. According to Rich Moore (supervising director of Futurama) in an interview on RottenTomatoes.com the title is "The Beast with a Million Backs" [1]. According to some guy named Nadum on TVBlogger.org the title is "The Beast with a Billion Bucks" [2]. One of these meets the WP:RS criteria and the other does not. Until other sources are found I suggest we leave the article titled "The Beast with a Million Backs". Actually my preference would have been to not create the article until more was known but until then... If any more info is found to support one title or the other please share it here or in the article. Stardust8212 12:52, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A third source states "Beast with a Billion Backs"[3] so we're up to three titles now. Stardust8212 12:54, 10 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
E! News reports this title as "The Beast With a Billion Backs" as well [4] 11 August 2007

Hi-Def?

How is the film going to be available in hi-def on DVD? Standard DVD resolution is not considered High-definition. the less reliable source says that it will be released on DVD and "Hi-def DVD," which I assume means HD-DVD or possibly, Blu-Ray. I think the reference to Hi-def should be removed unless there is a clear, reliable source. -Hemidemisemiquaver 13:26, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm almost positive this refers to a secondary release in either HD DVD or BluRay, but may still be speculation - Bender's Big Score is supposed to at some point come out in a "HD" format of some sort, so this could either be a "yeah, we're doing that with all of them" that's not properly cited, or speculation based on the fact that the first movie's going to be released that way in addition to its original normal DVD format. I don't actually suggest removing it entirely myself, since it's very possibly actually accurate, but it should definitely get a {{Fact}} tag to point out the need for a source, as is fairly common practice. :) 4.235.9.185 (talk) 06:41, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced Release Date Info

I just removed the "March 18th, 2008" release date from both this page, as well as the episode listings page. It already had a citation needed tag, but upon a great deal of searching I was unable to find a single piece of collaborating evidence on the web to support the statement, so I thought it should be removed.

Before doing that, I checked other edits from the IP that inserted the date originally. Recently, the person edited the main Futurama article to say that five new movies would be coming out, with the title of "Futurama 5" for the fifth. Either this is an insider posting what would essentially be original research or at the very least unsourcable information, or it is a vandal posting nonsense. In either case, it seemed like ample justification to remove the date. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.56.144.82 (talk) 05:42, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you citing a website which everyone cannot get access to? --Svippong 23:19, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Why has this info been re-added? You threw this Futurama fan into a panic. Removed again. Provide citation in the future. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.61.57.163 (talk) 05:52, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Omg are you serious that its not gonna be released until June 24?! Great... now I have to wait 3 more months... thanks for shattering my excitement... --66.94.154.5 (talk) 23:18, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I believe this is because Comedy Central will be running new episodes of Futurama March 18th, according to one of their commercials. --17:13, 11 March 2008 (UTC)70.189.104.223 (talk)

Plots

I noticed "Confirmed Plots" was removed, apparently because it was just "speculation". This isn't the case, there was solid proof for the plots, so why was it removed? --Roeas (talk) 10:12, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Those weren't plots, those were scattered details. --(trogga) 11:56, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Leaked?

See: Mininova, other tracker sites

Should we mention? Can we source (i mean, we could link to the torrents, but is that a legit source/is that kosher)? 66.215.20.28 (talk) 01:05, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
