If Knowing Is Half the Battle, Death and Violence Is the Other Half
I’ve talked about Mark Cheng’s really, really good-looking G.I. Joe fan film Operation: Red Retrieval many times on Topless Robot in the past. I bring it up today because it’s finally finished, and now you can see the whole, 21-minute epic right here. It’s more or less like if Resolute was live-action (and filmed in a very small location, but still). There’s action, drama, death, and not a Wayans brother or a fucking speed suit in sight. Just watch.
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.
