And While We’re On the Subject of Terminator…
…take a glance at these Terminator 4 Halloween costumes. They’re not nearly as horrible as the Watchmen costumes from last week, but since it’s only February, I feel like I should mock them just on principle (seriously, costume makers — no early than August. July, tops). From left to right, that’s the Deluxe T600 kid’s costume (back when Skynet was making portly, bald robots), the Secret Wishes Sexy Terminator Blair costume (her secret wish? For Skynet to endow her with midriff-covering shirt technology), and the regular T600 kid’s outfit. There are a few more costumes and including noted lighting enthusiast John Connor here. Thanks to Manny for the tip.

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.
