edit: oh oh, and it attacks you, and I'll have a great laugh if at the end of the movie the hulk gets "tamed".

Post by: JGZinv on October 30, 2011, 03:32:18 pm: I'm going to go out on a limb here... and say your average board game of Battleship has more story than this will have.

I also sense a Bruce Willis Armageddon "take care of my lil girl" moment.

Title: Re: BATTLESHIP
Post by: Bobboau on October 30, 2011, 09:30:39 pm: and now that my brain has had a chance to reboot, you know what buggs me? commercials for commercials. a movie trailer is an advertisement, why do I have to sit through an advertisement to watch an advertisement? oh, I know the reason, because they know I will.

Post by: Mongoose on October 30, 2011, 10:42:08 pm: The difference being that movie trailers are commercials that most people actually want to see. :p

Post by: Klaustrophobia on October 31, 2011, 12:20:57 am: if it exists, it will be advertised on/in/around.

i recently got an email from google wanting me to "monetize" my youtube account. to which i replied, "**** OFF, you do NOT have permission to make money from my uploaded videos." i know no one will ever see it, but it still made me feel better. at least now i understand why EVERY ****ing video on youtube has "watch/rate/subscribe PLOX" spam all over them. i thought it was just people that were THAT lonely that they liked seeing their view counts go up, but no, they are actually trying to make money from it. welp, not from my view anymore assholes, i never go to youtube without adblocker anymore.

Post by: Aardwolf on October 31, 2011, 11:49:45 am: Actually... I guess the simpler the game, the more room for creativity in a film adaptation, yeah?

Someone should make a movie about chess. With bishops, and knights, and castles!

Post by: Mefustae on October 31, 2011, 12:34:08 pm: Still not as bad as Jack and Jill (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uA48UG0gkJI).

Honestly, I'll take blatant advertisement-as-entertainment over outright brain damage any day.

The USS Iowa doesn't get hauled out of mothballs for war games. Full stop.

(This statement in no way diminishes the validity of the other complaints in this thread. It only needed to be added to the heap.)

Because that's the most believable thing in the trailer.

Post by: FireSpawn on November 01, 2011, 08:07:31 am: Apparently the film will be set with both sides getting focus. I'm intrested to see how it ends up, either way it's only £7 for a ticket from the cinema nearest to my college.

Because no matter how epic it looks, it will never be as spectacular as when the Colossus asplodes.

Post by: Marcov on November 03, 2011, 09:46:56 am: Don't you notice how that big robo-alien ship thing bears a striking resemblance to the SD Lucifer?

Now I just feel like they've just morphed a lobster in to a giant mecha-lobster transformer-thingy that's always unfriendly to humans.

Of course, big vehicles MUST be naturally hostile to humans.

Post by: BritishShivans on November 05, 2011, 10:05:51 pm: I always thought it was Crysis the Movie or somethin' when I first saw the trailer. Then I looked up and saw that it said BATTLESHIP. Stupid headaches....
