DVD Day: July 1st, 2008
I’ve got a question for you guys?do you want me to start including Blu-ray releases in DVD Day? Do you give a shit? For instance, this week, the ’60s Batman movie and Point Break are coming out on Blu-ray, for all your hi-def Burt Ward and Gary Busey needs.
? Batman: The Movie Special Edition
I don’t believe this is any more special than the last ’60s Batman movie DVD, but there you go.
? Lucky Star Vol. 2 Limited Edition
The series designed to keep Haruhi fans out of trouble until season 2 starts. With shirt and soundtrack.
? Hellboy Animated Limited Edition 2-Pack
Those two Hellboy cartoons were pretty good, as I remember. If you haven’t bought yet, this pack has a Hellboy figurine from Gentle Giant.
? Heathers 20th High School Reunion Edition
The film that made it okay for nerds to kill their classmates.
? The Legend of BraveStarr Season 1 Volume 2
The final 32 episodes. So why call it Season 1 at all? Why not just Volume 1 and Volume 2?
? Samurai Swordmanship Vol. 1
An instructional samurai video from Masayuki Shimabukuro! I don’t know why I find this awesome, but I do. It’s like a workout video for nerds! Volumes 2 and 3 are also available today, if you’re past the beginner stage.

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.
