The official Sucker Punch website released five new trailers for the movie, and when I say trailers, I mean 10-second spots of basically a 13-year-old boy’s brain vomiting into your eyeballs. It’s all hot chicks and dragons and robot samurai and crashing blimps and shooting robots and all the other nonsense packed into the movie showcased in rapid succession. I’m only showing of them, but you get the idea. Basically, it’s awesome, but I’m far too grumpy today to appreciate much of anything. God I can’t wait for this day to be over.
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.
