Breaking: Watchmen Blu-Ray Makes Blu-Ray Suddenly Awesome and Necessary

By June 29, 2009 Blu-ray, Movies 0 Comment
I had decided to give Blu-ray a pass. I love movies, but I’ve just invested too much in DVDs and the jump up in quality of Blu-rays was too little for me to justify re-buying 100s of movies. But now, thanks to my pals at The Blu-ray Blog, I am fucked — witness the majesty of Watchmen‘s Maximum Movie Mode:
It’s like a director’s commentary on crack, with an extra dose of awesomeness. This is exactly what Blu-ray should be doing, and whether you loved or hated the Watchmen movie, I don’t think there’s a better way to showcase the film’s incredible attention to detail or devotion to the source material. If any of you rich Topless Robot readers want to buy me a Playstation 3, I will very generously allow it.

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.
