John Carter of Japan
Twitch dug up this Japan exclusive trailer for John Carter, complete with an introduction by director Andrew Stanton, and I think it’s actually the best trailer yet. It sets up John Carter’s backstory and arrival on Mars much more clearly, has a few new but equally exciting action scenes, and… well, it’s just pretty darned good, is all. And that’s the kind of hard-hitting nerd news and critical analysis you get here on Topless Robot. You’re so very welcome.
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.
