hanging out in the toy aisle again, B?
Actually ... I was in the toy aisle, but the conversation was happening over at the electronics counter.

Does any navy in the world currently field a ship properly classfiied as a battleship? The US retired the last Iowa class battleship in 1991 after shortly reactivating it for the gulf. The only other likely contenders are what, the Ruskies and...?

Well, it's pretty clear now that retiring our fleet was a pretty big fucking mistake!

There were people at the Avengers showing I was at that were in disbelief there was a Battleship movie coming. I was confused as to how someone would be excited about seeing Avengers but somehow missed the commercials/trailers for Battleship. There's enough overlap in the two targeted audiences that the advertising would bleed through, no matter how patricular you are. Just seemed strange.

How long will it take for the phrase "You sunk my Battleship" to be said in this movie? 30 Minutes?
I'm not going to bother spoilering this:

The aliens themselves arrive because we try to contact distant planets and actually succeed (nice going Earth). The initial pacing of their arrival is handled pretty well and there are some pretty smart allusions to the board game, such as a defined field, enemy missiles tube-like in appearance and pin-pointing certain parts of the ships and later something a lot more obvious to the point of parody. It unfortunately has to be said however, that given the ridiculous premise of the film, the line 'you sunk my battleship' which is worth the price of admission alone, is not mentioned.
