Useless Movie News Trifecta: The Hobbit, Ghostbusters 3, Dark Knight Rises

By Rob Bricken July 3, 2012 Miscellaneous, Movies 0 Comment

? Entertainment Weekly has a bunch of new Hobbit pics, which you can see over at First Showing because I’m too lazy to put them all up. There’s nothing really new in there, but they do look good.

? Dan Aykroyd says Ghostbusters 3 has new writers. I say I have a new, more positive outlook on life. Whether either of us are telling the truth or not, nothing will come of these things. (Via Coming Soon)

? The official Dark Knight Rises site has a bio of Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character John Blake, which is pretty unrevealing. Still, he does sound like the kind of a guy who would happily fill in for Batman if the time and opportunity presented himself. Go figure. (Via Spinoff)

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.
