Battleship. It's just such a bizarre license for a movie, and certainly one nobody ever asked for. (Well, outside Hasbro execs clearly desperate for another Transformers-level hit.)

Oddly watchable in a big dumb fun kind of way, at least. And hey, it has Jesse Plemons not playing a total sociopath, so that's neat.

Watching an Iowa-class battleship do things is always fun.

I'm still waiting for the film adaptation of Checkers.

[–] MycelialMass@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

Like the Queens Gambit but checkers would be hilarious

Hey Gemini, in the style of the 2012 movie Battleship, create a screenplay based on the board game Hungry Hungry Hippos.

All I need to know is, does anyone say, "You sank my battleship!"?

[–] Odo@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Yes, they work in the line "they're not gonna sink this battleship!". When you're committed to this absurd premise, you pretty much have to say it.

It's shit but also entertaining. I kinda wanna watch that one again.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 5 points 6 days ago

I like it. It's like junk food, you know it's bad, but it's still nice when you get the craving for something bad.

Ikr‽ That like Mike movie really painted him into a corner at an early age. His career still hasn't escaped the type casting....

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

Yeah I’m not even sure why I watched it, it looks so bad. But it’s entertaining as heck, and well worth watching again
