Because it's completely unrelated...they're making a movie of game Battleship. And it's going to be about aliens.
How in hell is that a movie about Battleship? Or was I playing the wrong version as a kid?
None of it means a damn thing.

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.

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 was baffled about that. Upon reading the synopsis, it makes a vague, tiny amount of sense.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

The vamps don't change their appearance.
7 months ago I did not know any of this.

That's not true - the vamps eyes turn red, I think.

All the way to wolf. That explains the lack of imagery. No wonder that fangirl who wrote the letter about Wolfman was so traumatised by their imagery.
It's probably the fault of movies that werewolves are so often wolf-like men, what with wolves not being good at learning lines and hitting marks. I wonder if improving CGI will change that, or shallowness will reduce that.
Even reading the Battleship synopsis at IO9 doesn't help me. It's a set piece? That's it?

I'm guessing the aliens have some EMP or other anti-electronics technology, forcing us to use old-fashioned technology, like big guns on a battleship. (Then again, maybe the filmmakers have put less thought than this into it.
But why the aliens just land their spaceship in the water and sit there is beyond me....

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
At least they did research on the water content of our planet.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I spent the first half of the movie why Jessica didn't like it,
The dialogue. Clunky doesn't even begin to describe it.
they're making a movie of game Battleship. And it's going to be about aliens.
From what I can tell reading about it, they are making a movie called Battleship. It seems to be based on the box rather than the actual game inside.
