DVD Day: August 16th, 2011

?? Priest
Someone once wrote that Paul Bettany had clearly made a pact with the devil, because that’s the only way to explain the fact that he’s married to Jennifer Connelly and yet makes triumphantly shitty movies like Priest. Frankly, I think this theory explains quite a lot.
? The Big Lebowski
On Blu-ray, probably for the umpteenth time, but this time with a book of some sort. Hey, it’s Big Lebowski. What are you gonna do?
? Demolition Man
On Blu-ray. Maybe now we’ll get to see how the three seashells work!
? Batman: Brave and the Bold Season Two, Part One
Amazon lists this DVD set as starring “Batman” and “Booster Gold.” That’s fucking awesome.
? Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Complete Season Nine
Haven’t you guys been waiting a while for this, or am I remembering wrong? Anyways, here you go.
? The Muppets Take Manhattan
On Blu-ray. Wait a second, is Great Muppet Caper on Blu-ray yet? It’s not? NERD RAGE ACTIVATED
? Outcasts
The BBC sci-fi series that… uh… that’s all I remember about it, actually. Sorry.
? Voltron: The Legend Begins
Did you not want to buy the Voltron collector’s sets, but have been waiting to buy the show one DVD at a time? Well, today is your lucky day.

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.
