So Scott Vanzo provides the lion's share of the inside information that the fans claim to hunger for, but he hasn't received one vote as a favorite commentator! So Futurama Fans, "what's up with that"? It's true that compared to the others he provides more information, but he still gives us little "hard facts" - for example, one commentary he's asked what a particular character is made out of. "Particles" he replies - that's it. He doesn't explain what particles are (I doubt few of the fans know how particles work, or what they are), how he generates them etc. etc. Another example would be when he talks about how many windows the Nimbus ship has - that's all very well, but us nerdy fans want more: how many polygons make up the Nimbus? Another reason why Scott doesn't recieve that many votes is because he isn't on many of the commentaries - whereas Matt and David are, and John D is on nearly all of them. And maybe this is a personal thing I have, but I think his voice is pretty annoying. Actually, all CGI and tech directors' voices on DVD commentaries are really annoying (I'm thinking Richard Taylor of WETA here)...is this something genetic amongst all heads of CGI / FX departments?

Particles?! Polygons?! Man, you're into some weird *hit, Nick S. But seriously, I see Scott here at work everyday trudging around the studio all pissed off. You say hi to him and if you're lucky you'll get a grumpy snarl in return. Everyone else thinks it's just his personality, but I know that he's checking the internet daily waiting for a vote to be cast for him as favorite commentator, and it's never there.
Harsh.
Put yourself in Scott's shoes...he's being beat by "Other"!
So PEELers, please, please do something nice for this guy and vote for him. Will it kill you to cast one measely vote for the guy who worked out all those cool cg effects that you love? Hell, one vote and he'll be tied with Matt Groening, for christ sake! Scott needs your help and the studio needs your help, because he/we cannot keep going on like this.
Thanks friends. r_r
p.s.-- I swear to God I am not Scott Vanzo, so burn on all you jerks itching to reply, "Stop writing about yourself in the third person, Scott. It's pathetic."

Hey Junior Member Rikki,
Why do you give so much props to the younger Vanzo brother when the real firebrand of the commentary sessions is Gregg Vanzo. I do believe that he delivers the info harder and faster than Scott ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. Particles. What the hell is that???!!

Cochino, next time you pass Scott in the hall, instead of looking down at the ground, take a good look straight into his eyes. You do that, then tell me if those aren't the eyes of a man hurtin' for some props. I mean it. Dude's seriously hurtin'.

Big deal. He should say inject more humor into his commentary.

BREAKING NEWS!!!
I knew something was up when I past by Scott this morning and he smiled and said, "Good morning!" So I hit the "web", and look at what I found:
I vote for Scott Vanzo because I thought his commentary was extremely informative.
And for no other reason at all. [cough]
An actual quote from our own RDS Message Board member Nick S. who voted for Scott on PEEL's Best of the Commentaries poll. Folks, it's like a mill stone has been lifted off of Scott's back. Nick, you are A-OK in our book, brutha! You come by Rough Draft any time and we'll take across the street to Bar FN (formerly "Duffy's") and buy ya a tall cold one. Second one's on you though.

I have another question for the fans...
Is PEELer FishyJoe as grumpy in real life as he is on the message board? And also, why does he think everything is "sexy"?

Yo Cochino, Rikki wouldn't be where he is today if he didn't have all that ass on his lips. You should cut him some slack, I'm sure your mouth don't smell like roses.

Hoo boy, this is a fine example of ye olde saying, "no good deed goes unpunished"! You try to do something nice for someone, and the next thing you know, your "friends" are ripping you to shreds -- not unlike the rousing outcome of the closeUP game that I tried to get going in the general topics. (btw - I started a game of closeUP over on the PEEL website, and we're enjoying it very much, thank you.) As far as @ss is concerned, I suggest Cochino and Jetboy pull their heads out of their own. Thank God for members like Nick S. Now that guy gets it!

Did they figure out on PEEL that the CLOSEUP pic#2 was the founder of Zima?

Post by rikki_rakko on May 4, 2004 9:58:40 GMT -7
sigh...closeUP #2 was simply a charcoal drawing of an older gentleman wearing eyegasses and a suit...but hey, Cochino, if you want to believe that he's the inventor of Zima, by all means, please don't let me stop you. However, if you're open to a little constructive advice, it would be: give it up, already. Geezuz!

I have also just crawled over from Peel, and i would just like to point out that i do not live with my mom,i do however own more than one cat and i have never had a girlfriend, mostly for the fact that i myself am a girl. Now that that is out of the way i'd like to give props to all of you that worked to make the wonder that is Futurama. Frequent Jump Cuts aside, yall did good.

Dave, I'm a character designer who used to work on the show and I can tell you first hand that "yes" Susie is as cute as she sounds but as luck would have it she's not available. It's good to know that fans enjoy the DVD extras. And you're right... this should have been in ask the animators.

Thank you Venus, I'm glad you enjoy the show and since you don't live at home it's okay for you to like girls now.

Welcome to the RDS Message Board, Dave, Venus, and da BuhriC!
Now let's address your issues one at a time.
Dave, it's not uncommon to have the feelings you're experiencing for a female animation director. This is totally natural. The worst thing you can do is to feel ashamed and try to suppress these feelings. I suggest writing letters to Susie, lots of them. Let her know how you feel...who knows, she may feel the same about you. And be persistant!
Venus, thank you for the nice compliment, I'll pass it along to everyone at the studio, except for Pete Avanzino beacause he's got that restraining order against me for writing him all those letters. (It doesn't matter, he's still my favorite director.) I'll see what we can do about those jump cuts.
And BuhriC, you are so busted.

Well, you see, one dark, stormy and wind swept night, I was walking home after having missed the bus. Whilst rounding the corner near my home, a saw a little TV show curled up in the gutter, trying to keep warm. When I caught sight of it, I thought it looked so hungrey and lonely. I said to myself, I said: "Now there, SJM, right there, is a TV show that needs your love and devotion." So I wrapped it up in my jacket and took the little fella home with me.
The vet told me that the show was a 'Futurama,' a rare breed indeed. So after having it properly immunised and neutered, it became a happy part of my household.
And so, I've come to love it's furry little writing, it's perky voices, and it's upbeat little direction, but I always feel I'm missing something... some sort of make-picture's-move thing.... but, now I realise, it's probably nothing important.
I never really wanted to be a fan, it was just sort of thrust upon me. But now, me and my show are as happy as can be.

Welcome to the RDS Message Board SlackJawedMoron!
Your words have touched this ridiculous old cynic's heart. However, I think playing the abandoned animal analogy as hard as you do does wear thin by the end of your post - in fact, the more I think about it, the whole thing sounds pretty maudlin. Nevertheless, you've helped an old fool see through the wonderful eyes of a child again...for about a nano-second.
