Battleship

This looks really bad. But, maybe something can come out of it. Hey, perhaps the aliens just like to hold these deadly tornaments, like naval Predators.

The oddest thing about the trailer is that given the only thing we can expect is decent naval battles, it takes a surprising amount of time to do gratuitous fanservice and establishing a character we have no reason to care about yet.

That's a interesting idea.

I'm sure I've heard that there's a Monopoly movie in the works.

There was a line in the trailer that was something like "Sir, the radar's out". Why the aliens would be firing blind too is anyone's guess.

Yeah there's a Monopoly movie coming.

Honnestly, this is going to be the new Snakes On A Plane, and I'm OK with that.

The trailer left a lot of unanswered questions for me.

Probably the biggest of all was why anyone thought it was a good idea.

Because Hasbro has got to have money.

Seeing the trailer in the theater broke my brain.

I can't even demand an explanation.

I've got two guns pointed west and a broken compass.

I think I'll wait until someone posts the "You sunk my battleship!" scene on youtube. Saves time and money.

How long until Hungry Hungry Hippos comes out?

A year after Rock'em Sock'em Robots. Which, now that I think about it, I would probably pay money to see...

Isn't J.J. Abrams doing that one?

I would pay for that.

I wonder how bad Monopoly will be?

This will be awesomely bad.

Well look at that.[1]

Saw the trailer for the second time...in the theater, before Cowboys and Aliens. My dad was somewhat intrigued as it was going along, because he's not up on news pertaining to ridiculous pop culture things, and I somehow never mentioned it to him in this past week or whatever. I recognized it as soon as it started, and went "Oh my god, it's this!" and he was like "What?..." and I said "You'll see."

Sometime before it was not quite over, his best guess was "They're making another Transformers movie?"

"Nope."

[Title comes up at the end] [No response from my dad] (I think the possibility was so foreign it never even crossed his mind.)

"Y'know, like the game?"

"...What?!"

Yeah. It was pretty funny. I think that whole theater (those that hadn't heard of it, that is) was kind of like "lolwut?", but I wouldn't be surprised if it still went over some people's heads.

Flora Segunda | World Made By Hand | Monster Blood Tattoo ^You should read these series.

I'm amused.

I'm waiting for the Buckaroo and Farmville movies. The latter has a proven audience, right?

WAIT, wait, wait, wait.... that trailer is based off a short story by some guy, Richard Matheson, not Rock-Em Sock-Em robots.

Really? Not bad. Still it's way too close for comfort...

Lol i just got the 'my radar is out' bit.

Congratulations. You've managed to pique my interest.

That's Feo . . . He's a disgusting, mysoginistic, paedophilic asshat who moonlights as a shitty writer—Something Awful

Yeah, between this, Real Steel*

, and Rise of the Planet of the Apes, I'm not all that endeared to Hollywood at the moment.

That said, I'm in the camp that believes the utterance of "You sunk my battleship" by Liam Neeson would justify this film's existance.

This isn't going to be a good movie, but I love the fact that it's being made. The very idea is so stupid it's awesome. I'm assuming that's the reason for Liam Neeson's involvement.

Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember them, you are not alone.

I'm gonna play the devil's advocate here and say this looks like a stupid, fun popcorn action film with lots of naval ship porn and I'd really like to see it. My friend put it best, it looks like a Bay movie but without all the shitty comic relief characters, and that is enough to get me in the door.

These are the words that shall come from my mouth. I shall be known for speaking them.

I'll enjoy this movie for the silliness of it all.

Unrelated: I really hate people saying Real Steel is Rock'em Sock'em Robots.

The trailer didn't look terrible. The action scenes looked like they'd be filmed more clearly than Transformers, which is something.

I've got two guns pointed west and a broken compass.

I mean if it just manages to be a vapid action film like Battle Los Angeles, I'd be happy. Since I'm bit of a military fanboy I'd love to see those ships in action.

These are the words that shall come from my mouth. I shall be known for speaking them.

Yes, absolutely. Whether I'll be motivated to see is another matter, though.

Also, is the Asteroids movie still threatening to exist?

This... should be interesting, one way or another.
