Can a Brother Get a Walking Broom?
I kind of hate how much I don’t mind The Sorcerer’s Apprenctice. There’s nothing about it that seems like it should be good, but this new trailer snuck out a few weeks ago, and I’ll be damned if it still don’t look far more fun than it probably should — I feel like my bastard/critic/asshole gland is on the fritz or something. But seriously, would it kill them to show a goddamned walking broom or two? Just to let us know they give a shit about the original? They don’t, though, do they? Fuck.
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.
