So. If you’re not blowing your money on the Star Wars Blu-rays today — or, if you are and still have a little cash leftover — you might want to consider giving it to Stand Up to Cancer. The organization is determined to fund a cure, and have made this video of celebs re-enacting various Star Wars lines and dicking around (mostly dicking around). It’s not exactly a laugh riot, but it is for a very good cause. Also, it has Emma Stone in Princess Leia buns, which is incredibly captivating for some reason. Of course, she could probably triple the donations by promising to get in the metal bikini at a certain donation level, but maybe she’s saving that for next time. (Via Geeks of Doom)
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.
