?? Stargate: SGU-1
Wait a second. Does this mean the show’s real name is “Stargate: Stargate Universe-1”? Fantabulous.
? Dante’s Inferno
The anime of the videogame based on the classic work of literature in that a character is called Dante and it takes place in hell. I’ll pass, thanks.
? The Guild Season 3
Felicia Day and pals continue to have wacky hijinks in and out of the World of Warcraft. I think. Probably. I haven’t watched it.
? Bushido: The Cruel Code of the Samurai
Apparently this is a classic Japanese movie about several generations of a samurai family that won some awards. Sounds kind of cool.
? XIII: The Conspiracy
All I know about XIII is that it’s a French spy comic, and the only reason I know that is because of that PS2 game from a few years ago. I didn’t know there had been a movie starring Val Kilmer until I got on Amazon about 20 minutes ago.

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.
