Movie Trifecta: Hobo With a Shotgun, Transformers 3, Sucker Punch
There’s a new redband trailer for Hobo with a Shotgun, and it’s ready to welcome you to Fuck Town! Population: 2. (Specifically, one hobo, one shotgun.)
? Leonard Nimoy will voice Optimus Prime’s brother Sentinel Prime in Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon. Since 1) It’s Nimoy and 2) Nimoy already has Transformers voicing cred, I was a little happy, but then I realized Sentinel’s going to say “Fo’ shizzle” or something equally awful at some point, and then I got sad. Dark waters, my friends.
? The first six minutes of Sucker Punch are now available to watch legally on the infonetmentsupernetway, in a desperate attempt to get people to watch the whole movie in theaters. Feel free to check it out here, if you’re so inclined.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.

Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
