Hey, it’s a new trailer for Underworld: Awakenings, the new movie in the Not White Wolf’s World of Darkness RPGs, I Mean Yeah If You Like Those You’ll Love These Movies Because They’re All About Emo Vampires and Werewolves Shooting Each Other, But Slightly Different from World of Darkness So We Don’t Get Sued saga! I like how the trailer literally says “Kate Beckinsale… in 3-D!” Way to play to your strengths, Underworld: Awakenings. I’d have been more impressed if you’d just come out and said “Kate Beckinsale’s Ass… in 3-D!” but this is pretty good too. (Via First Showing)

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.
