The Greatest G.I. Joe Movie Footage You’ll Ever See
I’ve given Rise of Cobra enough crap. Hopefully since the film opens tomorrow, there won’t be as many Joe-related news and parodies to post, and we can have a little moratorium before actually see the thing over the weekend and post my review on Monday. That said, this remake of the trailer using the Hasbro figures makes me genuinely happy — so much so that I wonder if I’d forgive all the Accelerator Suits and Marlon Wayans and Crunchberry Commanders if the movie had actually been shot with toys. I hope you guys, pre-haters and apologists alike, enjoy it as well. Yo Joe for these guys.

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.
