You sunk my giant…alien…sub…what?
In their attempt to further destroy everyone's collective childhood, Universal as released a teaser trailer today that completely baffles me. And yes it's game related...sorta...
Watch this trailer then, once you stop punching things, return.
Yes, that Pearl Harbor meets Transformers (a mash-up in Michael Bay's most stimulating of dreams) piece of what is this I don't even is supposed to be Battleship. As in the board game, yes. Now please describe to me how what you saw right there has anything to do with this:
Words fail me.








It’s got Liam Neeson in it, though that probably won’t be enough to make me go see it.
I wanted a battleship movie to have two officers with boards, and red/white pegs calling shots, and then the enemy would radio “hit” or “miss”, and the boats couldn’t move, and they would have red/white markers on ‘em.
I clicked the link, read the blurb and just couldn’t bring myself to watch.
…
First of all, what the hell did I just watch? Did they just attempt to base a $200 million production… on a board game? Second, do they actually plan to stretch out that story for two whole hours? And finally, WHY IS THERE AN ALIEN SHIP!?
I can’t wait to see the director’s follow-up based on Hungry Hungry Hippos. You know, with killer hippos and aliens and what not.
What is this I don’t even….
If this wouldn’t take it itself SO seriously it would easily be confused with one of those fake-trailers like the one for Minesweeper – The Movie a few years ago.
Except I would actually watch the Minesweeper movie.
Yup…that trailer was actually pretty fuckin’ hilarious :D
I like how the guy is yelling at the kid cuz hes flying through ranks too fast.. or something.. i dont get it! made no sense.
YOU ARE THE BEST GODDAMN THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO THIS NAVY! AND I DONT KNOW WHAT MY DAUGHTER SEES IN YOU!
Then just yell back: “A better Ofiicer than you Captain Cocksuck”
Well, I can see no relationship to a board game……
BUT
Aliens & Battleships … AWESOME !! :)
Video isn’t available any more. I cant even find it anywhere
As much as you got my hopes up, it’s still there for me…

If you look at the ‘missiles’ the giant robot shoots out closely, turns out they are shaped like the pegs. pretty funny i guess. this is idiotic ~,~.
I had an idea for a fake “Battleship: The Movie” trailer about two years ago (follow the links here for my stick figure storyboard: http://yngemar.wordpress.com/2011/06/25/an-idea-for-a-movie-trailer/). Two reasons I didn’t go anywhere with it?
1) I thought the concept was so clearly a ridiculous joke that two minutes of snickering was all it deserved.
2) I didn’t have compromising pictures of Liam Neeson with which to blackmail him into starring in my imagination-bereft farce.
meh
