I'm not too proud to say I enjoyed Battleship. But I just adore the trope of bringing in something considered obsolete to save the day. I got all sorts of mad tingles of delight as they put the Missouri back into action.
You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

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.

I actually did have a good time at it too, for the most part. Well, except for all the family drama that was so very out of place in Naval chain of command.

Pfft, inappropriate family drama in an action flick, we will speak no more of it.

That's a really nice Q&A. Thanks for the link!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's a different interface from "normal", LeN. The Q&A has a different formatting and questions are hidden from us but visible to the person being asked, or some weird stuff. I don't participate in those clusterfucks, myself.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
right. that's my point that they could have a functional commenting interface when they want to.

Oh certainly. They admit to deliberately choosing to umgepotching their comments. I never understood exactly how they profit from screwing up their comment system, but they claim they do or will or something.

Well, for that definition of "functional" they had one before they rolled Kinja out. It was a choice, not mandatory, for them to have what they do now. No one argued differently, did they?

NOt as far as I know. I'm just trying to figure out what the profit or potential profit is in screwing it up. Didn't they claim their motive to be a business model?
