This is fee fi fo fine with me. If you happen to recall the rather fun trailer for The Troll Hunter, the Blair Witch Project-esque movie about Nowegians hunting very real trolls in modern Norway, you may be excited to know that its coming to America in limited release this June. Or maybe you’ll be content to watch this new trailer for the film, and then wait for the DVD release. I don’t really know. We don’t talk as much as we used to. (Via Twitch)
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.
