DVD Day: February 26th, 2008
Finally! A week that’s not just a plethora of anime DVDs! Anime suxx0rs!
? Justice League: The New Frontier
Based on the Silver Age-esque graphic novel by Darwyn Cooke on the founding of the Justice League.
? Beowulf
Didn’t see it, but I approve of digitizing Angelina Jolie’s body for future generations.
? The Darjeeling Limited
Didn’t see it, but I remember all that hub-bub about Natalie Portman possibly being nekkid in the short film that accompanies the flick. Anyone know for sure?
? 30 Days of Night
Based on the comic, but supposedly not as good despite starring Josh “Hot”-nett himself.
? Highlander: The Source
The hell did this come from? Apparently, even Adrian Paul is sick of this Highlander nonsense and tries to become mortal in the “movie.”
? Smurfs Season One, Volume One

About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. 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. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
