Threat #1: Bears
Now that Pixar has broken their long-running streak of critical acclaim with the apparently horrible Cars 2, maybe they can get back on track with next year’s Brave, about… a red-headed girl fighting a bear or something. At Stonehenge. It’s hard to say, but I’m getting a bit of a Princess Mononoke vibe from this, as if Pixar wants to try something that might skew a little older than its regular fare. But that might just be because that bear looks like its going to eat that girl. Admittedly, I probably shouldn’t jump to conclusions.

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.
