?? Star Trek: the Next Generation: The Next Level
The long-awaited Blu-ray of three classic episodes — “Encounter at Far Point,” “Sins of the Father” and “The Inner Light” — is oddly named, but it looks gorgeous. Look here if you don’t believe me.
? TF
Hey, if Michael Bay refuses to brand his 7-disc Blu-ray set/monstrosity with anything resembling Transformers then I’m sure as hell not going to do his work for him.
? The Thing
The other Thing. The Thing with Ramona Flowers, not John Carpenter’s Thing.
? One Piece: Collection 4
Fairy Tale Part 3 is outselling One Piece Collection 4. This makes me sad. Also the fact that this fourth set has Chopper on the cover instead of Usopp makes me mad. My fellow One Piece fans will understand why.
? 2-Headed Shark Attack
This little cinematic masterpiece stars Carmen Electra and Hulk Hogan’s daughter Brooke, and yet I don’t think they’re playing the heads of the shark. Weird.
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.
