Given the Thematic Stupid that is Battleship, and its SyFy alternate American Battleship, there is probably out there a script inspired by Angry Birds. Cough it up. ---

I don’t know if you’re joking or not, but Angry Birds has been optioned for a movie. > **[Angry Birds film takes off](https://www.theguardian.com/film/2011/jul/04/angry-birds-film-david-maisel)** > > Former Marvel chairman David Maisel hatches plan with Rovio to catapult Angry Birds to big screen ---

If the front line version isn’t sufficiently bonkers, the SciFi version will be awesomely stoopid. ---

> [@cerberus](#): > > Cough it up. I’ve come up with some taglines, because what use is a script without taglines and a trailer? So: “Four legs bad - two legs livid”[1] “This little piggy stayed at home - _bad mistake_” “Birds of a feather _go ballistic_ together” “What goes up - comes down _angry_” “Coming this Salmon: They’ve _Haddock_ with those Scampi Pigs!” I would be impressed if the studio uses the word “ballistic” somewhere. It’s a synonym for angry, and it describes the basic mechanism of the game. But it might be _too_ clever. Word word word _word in italics_ word. “Those pigs is gonna squeal like pigs, which is what they are - weeee!” [1] It’s a tagline, it’s supposed to be stupid. Remember “Titans Will Clash”? ---

The first Angry Birds trailer I saw was [this one](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENE-YWCUyZk). Sexier. ---

As a side note - _Battleship_ may have a ridiculous-seeming premise, but as explosion-driven action movies go, it’s actually kinda cool. ---

> [@Shoeless](#): > > Can’t help you there, but I did tell my wife this weekend that I was going to get started on my screenplay for “Chutes and Ladders: The Motion Picture”. 😃 Robot Chicken beat you to it. Their version was a buddy-cop movie with Owen Wilson and Ben Stiller.
