The Naruto Fan Trailer You Have to See to Believe (It)
Thousand Pounds are the dudes who made all those awesome live-action Street Fighter super combo videos. Now they’re turning their attention to a live-action Naruto fan flick, and here’s the first trailer. I’m not a big Naruto fan, but I’m excited as hell; it’s like HBO making Game of Thrones — it’s just awesome when anyone with that much talent and resources decides to spend it doing something nerdy. The full 20-minute short will be released later this summer, and you can bet I’ll post it the minute it’s done. Believ— erg, sorry. Won’t happen again.

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.
