Battleship: The Movie

“Remove the organs.”
“Which organs, sir?”
“All of them.”

If you watch the hilarious chain of events that lead to various sadistically gruesome deaths, the “Final Destination” series is kind of like a really grim version of Mousetrap.

Battleship looks awful.

:smiley:

You realize they are making a movie based on Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots, don’t you?

Doubly appropriate, as that is the objective of the game. I always thought it should have been called “Vivisection”.

stop giving them ideas!!! :slight_smile:

There’s another movie about fighting robots that feels like a rock 'em, sock 'em robots, but this time with a heartwarming story about a Dad and his son.

Actually, I’m sure “treacly” is a more accurate phrase, but I’m feeling generous today.

They should just combine all of these ideas into one movie, and call it Toy Movie or something like that.

Damn you…I was seriously waiting for the giant red peg to fall from the sky as the punchline to this obvious joke trailer.

All I could think at the end was “Holy crap, they’re serious”.

Real Steel I think, with Hugh Jackman. The treacly heartwarming bit looks very blah, but the underlying premise of robot boxers actually sounds pretty cool. Of course no guarantee they’ll do it any justice. And from the trailer it appears to be a underdog comes good story (for the protagonist robot).
As far as Battleship goes, I suspect I may be dragged along to it, because if I’m right in my fleeting glimpse in the trailer, it appears that Alexander Skaarsgard has a part in the movie, and my wife has the serious hots for him. (He plays Eric Northman on True Blood)

I won’t count this movie out until I see a bit more, stupid though it looks at this time. I suspect similar things were said about a movie based on a theme park ride. Doesn’t mean this’ll be another Pirates surprise, but it’s not impossible that they could make a fun movie out of this.

I am waiting for Master and Commander 2. In the meantime I’ll watch this one… twice.

What are you going to do? Sue me?

So I’m ignorant, what is wrong with this dialog?

I could use some help too. I had my Marine ass parked on the New Jersey for a bit, and we certainly did a full broadside more than once (while the Marines were having fun inside our assigned 5 inch gun).

All of them to me simply means a nice broadside. Now, if you mean that they are not including the Tomahawk missiles that the installed on the Iowa class ships later, I guess you have a point.

Huh, I guess I’m the only one who’ll be seeing this strictly based on the director: Peter Berg. I haven’t seen everything he’s done, but I’ve liked everything I’ve seen (yes, I liked Very Bad Things and Hancock, shut up). He gets a lifetime pass for Friday Night Lights alone.

I’m an optimistic movie-goer. I WANT everything to be good, so I very rarely shit on a movie in advance. Some of the times I have, I’ve turned out to be wildly wrong (see: Let Me In), so I look for things to be optimistic about, such as the fact that this movie is directed by Peter Berg.

You just never know, ok, you just never know. Rise of the Planet of the Apes would seem to be a prime target for advanced hatred and snark that it will suck, and yet now the buzz (among some critics at least) is that it’s not only the best Apes movie ever, in a different category altogether, it’s one of the best films of 2011. Seriously. I know, right?

I kind of want to go see a movie where this trailer will be shown beforehand. Then right afterward, when the theatre is dark and quiet, I shout, “Are you shitting me?”.

I imagine that it’s impossible to point all of the weapons on a ship in the same direction, and even of those that can point in the same direction, there might be problems with manpower and/or recoil if you tried to fire them all at once.

I saw a trailer for Battleship when I went to see Cowboys & Aliens, and when the title of the movie came up, I swear there was a collective groan from the audience. From me too.
