DVD Day: March 22nd, 2011

?? The Venture Bros., Season 4 Vol. 2
Speaking of Venture Bros., apparently the reason Jackson Publick had to announce the new seasons and special today is because he mentions them on this DVD set’s commentary tracks, assuming that they’d be common knowledge by the time they were released. Wacky! Oh, The Complete Season 4 is also out today, but only on Blu-ray.
? Skyline
The Cloverfield-but-with-aliens flick, in which L.A. also gets invaded. See it, if only to support celebrity nerd Donald Faison.
? Galaxina/The Crater Lake Monster Two-Pack
I believe this is your first chance to get Galaxina on Blu-ray. Why you have to get The Crater Lake Monster with it is beyond me.
? Riddick Collection
The two Riddick movies on Blu-ray, and the Dark Fury animated feature… on DVD. Gee, what a special Blu-ray collection, where one of the discs is a DVD!
? Adventures of a Teenage Dragonslayer
Some kind of direct-to-DVD CG movie designed to capitalize on How to Train Your Dragon. Instead, you should check out…
? Firebreather
The Cartoon Network movie based on the comic by Phil Hester and Andy Kuhn. I’m told both are quite good, actually. Can anyone confirm or deny?
? The Walking Dead Girls
“The Walking Dead Girls is a behind-the-scenes look into zombie culture
in the United States and the obsession into ‘Sexy Female Zombies’.
What is it about Zombie Bimbos or ‘Zimbies’ that are starting to gain
the worlds interest?” Sigh.
UPDATE:
Alert Topless Roboteer notes that Greymattersplat notes that the Warhammer 40,000 CG movie Ultramarines is out on a special edition DVD today, but only on the official website. It’s $40, FYI.
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.
