?? The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus
Terry Gilliam’s latest movie and the late Heath Ledger’s last movie. I feel bad I didn’t see it, but I almost never see Terry Gilliam movie’s in theaters. I’m not sure why. I understand this makes me part of the problem.
? Dune
On Blu-ray, so now you can see Sting’s bulging crotch with all the hi-def clarity it deserves.
? G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero Season 2
Starting the Serpentor stories. Still, it’s 33 episodes for $20 — not bad at all.
? District 13: Ultimatum
The French parkour movie sequel to that pretty good French parkour movie. By all accounts it’s not asd good as the first one, but it might be worth a rent for fans of French people gadding about and kicking things.
? Tales from the Darkside: Season 3
Yep. Season 3. Moving on.
? Megapiranha
See this video. ‘Nuff said.
? Gintama: Collection 1
You know, reading the premise of Gintama sounds like the best anime in the world to me, and then I watch an episode and I just don’t care. Should I care?
? Vamp Vixens: Vamp Bangers Go Wild!
Wait, are the vampire vixens or are they bangers? Now I’m all confused.
? Battle Planet
”
In the not-so-distant future, Captain Jordan Strider (Zach Ward,
Transformers), a Special Forces Officer in the New World
Alliance, is chosen for a top-secret mission. Sent to a desolate planet,
Terra 219, to arrest possible traitors to the Alliance, Captain Strider
must survive with only an experimental, government-issued suit as
protection. While there, he learns of a plot to destroy the human race.
Captain Strider now faces a choice; to continue as instructed on his
mission, or save the world.” Hee hee hee
About The Author

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.
