"Battleship: The Movie" or "Yes, this is a real thing"

By Milton Bradley. And Liam Neeson.

Quick summary for those of you not in a position to see the trailer:

The main character (a hot-blooded navy prodigy) is dating the daughter of Liam Neeson (no-nonsense admiral). Some shit goes down, main character gets CHEWED OUT, and then right before he gets fired or something, they find - oh shit - ALIENS.

The humans can only shoot one target at a time because, y'know, alien shields. The alien projectiles are colored pegs. I shit you not.

Rihanna's gonna be in it too apparently.

MOVIE OF THE YEAR

As many of my friends would say, "I'd sink my battleship into that."

The more I think about just how utterly ridiculous this movie is, the more excited I get about it.

Like it seems to be trying too hard to be one of those "So bad it's good" movies, but at the same time the attempt at trying too hard is more hialrious than anything else.

I'm pretty sure I made a post about how such a movie would go a long time ago.
If they stole my idea I'm gonna have to press charges.

Still prefer the Colbert version.

Huh.

Maybe there's hope for that Minesweeper movie after all.

Candyland, starring Vin Deisal as Gloppy the Molasses Monster, Salma Hayek as Queen Frostine , and Nicholas Cage as the Duke of Swirl. 2013.

I'd much rather have some Japanese animation company (maybe A-1, I dunno) do a cutesy interpretation in the same vein as the Animal Crossing movie.

There will be no minesweeper movie! No movie could possibly capture the depth and elegance of minesweeper in two hours!

Dudes. This is Milton Bradley. Making a movie. I'm watching it.

I take it none of you guys've ever seen Clue?

Best. Board-game. Movie. Ever.

Much better than some other movie I could mention based on a board game. I give it even odds.

*No, I'm not confusing Milton Bradley with Parker Brothers. Milton Bradley has a FAR superior track record to another game company: Wizards of the Coast. None is, in fact, far better than anything WotC has officially published.

Pretty sure that is already one of his titles.

It's awesome! (The rest of the site's really cool, too!) I have a small announcement to make. And another!
