DVD Day: March 13th, 2012

?? The Adventures of Tintin
You know, I should really be a lot more excited about a movie co-written by Edgar Wright and Stephen Moffat and co-directed by Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg.
? The Three Musketeers
Meanwhile, I actually am kind of excited to this this assuredly godawful Milla Jovovich vehicle from Paul W.S. Anderson. I understand this is a problem, and I am ashamed.
? Doctor Who: Tomb of the Cybermen, The Robots of Death and The Three Doctors Special Editions
All special editions, so all packed with extras.
? Doctor Who: The Face of Evil
The non-special edition of story 79 with Tom Baker.
? One Piece Collection 5
Please buy this so I can finally get the Water Seven/Enies Lobby and Thriller Bark arcs on DVD. Pretty please?
? Wizards: 35th Anniversary Edition
This Blu-ray comes with a little booklet and a Bakshi commentary (which might have been on the DVD release, for all I know).
? Neverland
A Syfy prequel to Peter Pan where Captain Hook’s crocodile is a giant dinosaur thing-y, because of course it is.
? Wallace and Gromit: World of Invention
A six-episode series where Wallace and Gromit show off other people’s ridiculous — but apparently real — inventions. Enh, call me when Feathers McGraw gets released.
About The Author
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.
