A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Brooklyn Decker (seriously, WTF?) says about Battleship:
"Yeah it's funny. I think Alex [Skarsgard] said something that the game was the inspiration for the movie and not necessarily the storyboard for the movie and I would be in agreement with that. It's an action/war film, so we draw inspiration from the game in that it is called 'Battleship' and Hasbro is heavily involved."
"It is a modern day war action film, which is kind of unique to most war films. This is modern day so it's exciting."
Someone (multiple someones) in the IO9 comments note that the US no longer has battleships, but whatev.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Yeah, I only want to see Battleship because I wanna see all this technology that was cutting edge in the early 1940s. The electro-mechanical analog computers they used to aim the big guns were very advanced for their day, so they were never replaced with modern computers.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I hated her as Sybilla in Kingdom of Heaven.

Because books.
I didn't mind her in the Bond movie, but her eye makeup was heavy, she always looked slightly deranged.

Thankfully the Johnny Depp love has passed me by, as will this adaptation.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I liked her quite well in The Golden Compass.
