"Battleship" Commercial

[Kenneth Morgan]

My brother Bri's reaction to the "Battleship" commercial during the Super Bowl:

Coming May 2013

John Woo presents...

CHUTES & LADDERS

You have to climb high, to take a big fall

THIS FILM HAS NOT BEEN RATED

[Mach6]

Hey Kenneth, your brother wasn't the only one who had that reaction.
Woo will try for a hard R-rating, but the studio will force him to trim it to a PG-13.

I predict Battleship will be the most cynical, soulless, & unwatchable big-budget blockbuster of 2012. I guess Hasbro had to recycle all the footage they didn’t use from their awful Transformers movies for this one. The worst part is it will probably make a s#!tload a money with Liam Neeson & Rihanna promoting it everywhere.

I’m personally waiting for Hungry Hungry Hippos “The Reckoning”. Man, was Robot Chicken ahead of the curve with the sketch about turning board games into movies.

I can't imagine this movie making any money.

Well it certainly looked LOUD. And busy. Not to mention LOUD.

[Dunnyman]

Nooo...the preview that looked the best was The Dictator. Looks like Cohen's going to blast it outta the park again.

I was disappointed, I thought this was going to be based on the venerable Japanese Manga series about the Battleship Yamato...great stuff!

They'll get to that when they do the live-action remake of "Star Blazers".

Incidentally, "Star Blazers" is my brother's choice for the best Japanamation series. I disagree; I'm going with "Speed Racer".

Robotech... all the way.

Hey, I was kidding! I had no idea they'd actually done one! I'l have to follow up on this.

I wonder if they'll explain how the Argo/Yamato could get blasted to pieces in every battle, yet look utterly brand new in the next episode.

I have a copy on Blu, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I'll post thoughts if/when I do

I would be pissed, but I've yet to hear a good thing about it.
