Aliens Vs. Avatars Is the Greatest Cinematic Triumph of Our Time
In this week’s DVD Day, I mentioned a little movie called Aliens Vs. Avatars. I only did it because the premise — so clearly stated in its title — was hilarious to me. Amazon had no other information about it, so I promptly forgot all about it.
Until Topless Roboteer denjiro showed me the trailer.
…I’m… I’m just going to lay down for a little bit, and bask in the awesomeness of what I just saw. That, and wonder if the mech/power suit was made out of cardboard. But mostly bask in the awesomeness.

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.

Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
