This Resident Evil: Retribution Clip Is the Dumbest Thing I Have Ever Seen
Okay, probably not. But holy shit is it stupid. It the triumph of shitty style over the barest minimum of substance, because Paul W.S. Anderson is Michael Bay without the creativity or the budget, so we get women in skintight clothes fighting each with extendible technospears in the Arctic tundra. I don’t know if I had trouble with the Yahoo video player or what, but the dialogue didn’t come through — of course, Anderson might be at the point where he isn’t even bothering to record dialogue now, since words might distract from all the hackneyed bullshit imagery going on screen. Of course, an equally acceptable theory is that the dialogue actually killed itself in shame. (Via Blastr)

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.
