Battleship...the movie

That is truly a stupid two minutes.

Battleship Independence Alien Iron Man Day

hahahah ugh

this is one Tim Riggins movie I doubt I will turn the corner on

The trailer was on before John Carter OF MARS last night, and it looked like stupid, stupid, stupid fun. I was almost tempted.

Oh yay.

Alex interrupts him, and sends Cora to the control deck while he leads the alien out onto the deck. He gets the crap more or less beaten out of him, but he and Cora have a plan. He buys her time to aim one of the cannons point-blank at the alien's head. It turns around to see the cannon about to be fired. Rihanna quips, "Mahalo, motherfucker" — and the cannon blows the alien away.

Namaste, motherfucker

peace be with you, dickhead

Go in peace and love to serve the lord, motherfucker

So that's what a quip is these days

the movie's ... zany sense of humor

Alex tries to win her over by getting her a burrito in five minutes. Unfortunately, the convenience store next door is closed, so Alex decides to break in and get her the burrito anyway. We switch to security cam footage - complete with Pink Panther theme - to see Alex breaking into the store, getting the burrito, and subsequently wrecking most of the merchandise in his attempt to get back out. The scene ends in complete chaos, with Alex running away from - and getting tasered by — the cops, a sequence that causes multiple cars to crash into each other to avoid hitting him. But hey — he gets Brooklyn Decker the burrito, and a true love is born.

Fuck OFF!

"From Hasbro the company that brought you Transformers"

so this sounds like starship troopers done sincerely

the aliens are called "thugs"

Huzzah

"B-27!"

this would have been so awesome if it had the exact same cast but was set at a Battleship tournament

battleship the board game involved chain whips? p kinky

haha wow i hadn't heard of this till now, this is easily the most half-baked idea for a movie i've ever heard in my life

it will make back the 200 million opening weekend probably

I can't see this being anything other than a total flop, but I've been wrong many times before.

yeah I think there's little likelihood of a John Carter-esque 'you won't believe this but it's actually really fucking great' turnaround.

But then again...Tim Riggins DOES star in this also

> there is a burned doll

how'd it get burned

lol

so in all the film has nothing whatsoever to do with the board game? What is the point in paying the money, I'm assuming there was a licence cost, for the rights to use the board game name?

just to have the name attached to the movie, I think is what Hasbro wanted

i don't think there was ever much intention to make a movie OF the boardgame - more to reassociate the boardgame with something whizzbang cool so they can remarket it or something idk

they should have gone the Tron route. Some kid gets 'sucked' into a real life Batteships board game and has to play the Grid.

Or like 20 people in a giant Battleship costume

That would be some shit-head indie comedy though.

Michel Gondry/Charlie Kaufman present Tweetleship

baahaha

Father and son play battleship, then son gets pulled into a Time Bandits-esque midget alternate universe.

Ned I'm still giggling over tweetleship

How about, (and this comes from currently watching Deathrace - although I'm remembering the original movie rather than this prison variation), in the future people play real Battleships with real ships out in the ocean. Pimped up aircraft carriers and submarines! Televised annual event. etc etc

battleships transform into giant robots and do battle in the middle of the ocean

when i first saw the trailer, thats what i thought was happening for a moment.

I hoped, but alas, twere not to be

Also the "Mahalo motherfucker" line is here.

Now they should license the rights to make a board game of "Battleship: The Motion Picture" that has nothing to do with "Battleship." Like one of those myriad Monopoly versions or something.

looool

Universal Studios claims its new big budget movie "Battleship" is in jeopardy -- all thanks to a low budget straight-to-DVD knockoff that's coming out

This is what the business world calls "managing expectations."

this piece of shit was in jeopardy when they were doing reshoots for like 2 years

hey guys this movie looks really bad!

I don't have much use for this generally cretinous blogger, but he's upset.

I could call it stunningly idiotic alien-invader CG sludge for gamers but what's the point? What it is, boiled down, is yet another metaphor for the decline of civilization as it was once known and nourished by the likes of Norman Mailer, Anne Bancroft, Ernst Lubitsch, Jean Seberg, Gunter Grass, Bernardo Bertolucci, Jean Genet, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, William S. Burroughs, Francis Coppola, Sting, Gary Cooper and Jerry Lewis, et. al. Damn the ComicCon-ers for movies like this. Damn them all to hell.

If Battleship is a state-of-the-art 2012 Hollywood popcorn movie then kill me now. Stab me in the chest with a screwdriver.

Chuckled at "Sting."

He meant Sting in Dune.

I'll gladly stab him in the chest with a screwdriver. Nothing to do with hating on Battleship, mind.
