Why the @#$% Are They Still Making Underworld Movies
Seriously. This is a trailer for Underworld… 4? 6? 5? Fuck, I don’t know, and I don’t care, not even a little bit. It’s all just the same shit photocopied out of a 1997 World of Darkness RPG sourcebook, over and over again. Listen, I’m a nerd. All my friends are nerds. I run a nerd website and thus I talk to and hear from thousands of nerds, all the time, and I don’t know a single person who has more than a mild ambivalence towards the Underworld movies. Who the fuck is watching these things? Who is actually spending their money to see this crap on opening weekend instead of waiting for it to run on FX some afternoon, the way it’s clearly meant to be seen? Who is giving these bastards permission to keep churning this shit out? GRRAAAAHHHH

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.
