Never Trust John Connor to Save the Future
Why? Well, first of all, despite three movies and a (doomed) TV series, neither he nor his family have done anything to stop the evil robot revolution. The proof is in this Japanese trailer for Terminator: Salvation, which shows the future is chock full of evil robots, evil robot motorcycles, and evil robot giants (which you’d think the evil robots would have decided to send into the past to kill li’l Connor after the first Terminator or two failed). But Connor’s biggest problem is that he thinks he’s going to win the war tonight; sorry, dickweed, Christian Bale signed up for three more Terminator films, so you’re going to fuck tonight up too, obviously.
And for those of you who are sad because my final post of the day is actually mildly informative instead of something goofy, please go see the Teenage Mutant Ninja Poodle and pray for his owner’s horrible, painful death. That is all. (Clip via Filmdrunk)

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.
