G.I. Joe Resolute Is Resolutely Blowing My Goddamn Mind
Forget Terminator, forget Star Trek, and especially forget about Transformers 2 or the G.I. Joe movie, because the nerd event of the year is going to be G.I. Joe Resolute. No contest. Watch this all-too-short trailer, and tell me you disagree — I’m not even that big a Joe fan, but even just seeing Duke and Scarlett actually fire real firearms has me fanning myself like a 19th century Southern belle. (I’m also yelling “Mercy me!” but that’s neither here nor there). Remember, the full movie airs April 25th on Adult Swim the channel, but part 1 actually shows up on AdultSwim.com tomorrow! Thanks to all of you who emailed me about this — now if you excuse me, the bonnet and ball gown I’m wearing has become a little uncomfortable.
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.
