It’s Always Darkest Before the Red Dawn Remake
I don’t really have anything insightful to say about the Red Dawn remake that’s been locked in an MGM vault for a few years until Chris Hemsworth became a star with Thor and which pretends the North Koreans have the manpower to coat the entire United States interior with troops and tanks and things, except that 1) it looks like shit and 2) you don’t think of an article title that good and not run it.

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.
