Trailer for "Battleship" Movie Finally Released
How bad can a film based on a Milton Bradley game, and incorporating Transformers-level CGI special effects, really be?

1. It'll probably rake 300 million it's first weekend.
I recommend this movie instead...

12. I don't know. Saw the trailer this weekend. Cracked up a partial row in front of me by saying in
....falsetto kid voice.

"You sank my battleship!"

13. LOL...that's all I could think of during the trailer.
Someone in the movie had better say it, dammit! :)

2. Didn't Liam Neeson used to make GOOD movies?
Why is he pimping himself out like this? Did he lose all professional judgement after agreeing to be in 'The Phantom Menace'?

6. From the little bit I've read, his wife died so he's staying busy. 'Taken' was very good.

There is a documentary about the game already though.

16. In one of the "Toy Story" movies..
...two of the toy were playing battleship.

One had all of this ships touching on the "ocean", and you could see on his fire control display that he had every square covered... except one 5 long, one 4 long, two 3 long, and one 2 long. :-)

17. I never saw that. That's pretty funny.
It was one of my favorite games when I was a kid. I'll probably take a pass on the motion picture version, though.

"Honey, you and Sissy do the dishes while us men play Battleship!"

18. I think it was TS 3, but I'm not positive.
It was pretty funny, though... you have to look at it, as they don't really call attention to it very much. One of those funny things for adults, I guess. :-)

20. Kind of like how I'll be seeing the new Conan movie, which looks gawdawful...
just because it has Rachel Nichols in it.

(sigh) The crap that we put up with. B-)
