Ghastly: Does the navy even use battleships anymore? I thought they were long since obsolete.

Obsolete? Battleships? Never.

/Bunch of flyboys in their new carriers ruined the navy.
//And those submarines...
///Not sure if serious

So this is basically Morning Dump meets Beer shiats 3, right?

nmrsnr: It'd be boring, half the movie would just be armies mustering in Indonesia.

Also, "where's the Captain?"
"He's dead"
"So who's in charge"
"You are, sir."

How incompetent do you have to be to not know the chain of command?

They confirmed that the top of the chain is gone, not the links between the top and the person asking the question. Assuming that the questioner isn't the second in command, it's a perfectly reasonable question.

/movie looks like late night terrible netflix fodder at best

Or somethng!!

The dub over of the girl talking about her father warning her "they are out there and we have to find them before they find us" bit reminded me of Doom: Repercussions of Evil.

This is one of those cases where I have to wonder why they're even bothering to call it Battleship. Why pay the licensing fee? What does this have to do with the game? Is it just so that Liam Neeson can angrily exclaim at some point in the movie, "You sunk my Battleship," and make everyone laugh?

Careful, keep talking like that and Hollywood may offer you a job.

What the hell did I just watch?

Not sure if want. And I am pretty damn buzzed right now. Spellcheck to the rescue!

Did you ever notice how Master Chief looks like Rick Bayless, that cheesy cook on PBS who just loooooooves Mexico?

I've seen better video game previews.

BroVinny: What the hell did I just watch?

Hopefully a couple hundred million dollar flop that will ruin the careers of the studio execs that gave it the greenlight as well as spawn several memes and a good parody.

The fact that they made a Battleship movie isn't the saddest part, it's that they decided to make a $250 million Battleship movie.

But I won't be surprised when the Transformers crowd makes it a success.

I can't wait to not see this.

SOMEBODY CALL BILL PULLMAN AND GET HIM A PLANE!

Make a ruckus over it. That's exactly how the famous line got into Snakes on a Plane.

From the look of this trailer this movie was fark all to do with, well, a game that doesn't have a plot. They could just drop the battleship name and call it something generic like, "Invasion" and it'll probably make more sense.

Actually, now that I think of it, I have an idea. Take the movie as is and rename it Space Invaders.

Tarsem Singh's Parcheesi is going to blow all that other shiat away.

I know this is crazy, but, it could be good........

No! Shh! Don't give them any ideas! Don't... aw sh*t, they heard you.


THIS SUMMER, SAMUEL L. JACKSON HAS HAD IT WITH THESE MILTON BRADLEY SNAKES ON THESE MILTON BRADLEY LADDERS!

buckler: Okay, I wasn't expecting aliens. I sort of thought they'd present it as a cat-and-mouse game between two fleets of surface ships and submarines. Naive of me, I guess.

There is no way Hollywood could possibly make a movie about a game franchise that has anything to do with the premise of the game. I'm convinced that Hollywood producers view franchise movies as nothing more than a badge they can slap on any steaming pile of shiat to sell it at absurdly inflated prices. It's like they look at the fashion industry and think, "That's a business model worth imitating."

I'll watch it, and probably enjoy it.

Fine art it is not, but who cares?

I want to watch a movie about tornados hitting Normandy in June 1944 and the Allies and Nazis having to team up to fight the aliens riding dinosaurs that get spat out of them. That would be a good movie, especially the bit where Johnny Depp flying the Mosquito bomber drops the glue covered wasp's nest right between the eyes of the T-Rex. I'd pay to see that.

Looks like a good summer time popcorn flick.
