Battleship the Movie? Monopoly the Movie? Remaking Clue?

Tetris: the Movie?

I think they actually did that one already.

[BuddhaRhubarb]

slightly off topic-ish... but WTF with the remake of "Death At A Funeral"? That movie is like 2 years old, and reasonably funny. Were the British accents so impenetrable to Hollywood that they had to remake it in faux Urban?

Weird thing is that they got the same midget from the original. maybe it's a sequel about a midget who tries to extort old dead closet queens?

What other reason is there to go on such a decades long voyage except to found a colony? And what are they going to do when they arrive and find their new home already occupied? Especially as such a trip would almost certainly be a one way affair.

If the aliens arrive using STL means, they will not be peaceful; your premise is flawed.

Why wouldn't they know beforehand?

If they'd known beforehand, they'd have gone someplace easier to colonise?

Besides, a race that has been both aggressive enough to achieve spaceflight and cautious enough to avoid destroying itself is not going to launch such a major effort without preparing for several possibilities.

And given our current level of technology they would not have to be all that prepared. They would have the ultimate "high ground", after all.

Exactly.  And they'll know beforehand.

Besides, a race that has been both aggressive enough to achieve spaceflight and cautious enough to avoid destroying itself is not going to launch such a major effort without preparing for several possibilities.

The thing is that they won't be all that aggressive anymore.  It will have been socialized out of them by the time they gain the ability for interstellar flight.

Objection for Battleship withdrawn

You're basing this on something written in something called the Latino Review? The Latino Review? Really?

Would you find The Mooncricket Chronicle a more reputable source?  The Tar Baby Times?  The Swamp Donkey Sun?  The Gatorbait Gazette?

[The Brain]

I saw Gator Bait 2 once. It was not very wholesome I thought, yet strangely compelling.

Maybe if it was written by Gator Country, yeah.  If they can cover Gators football, they can cover cinema.

*shrug* Spielberg and Hanks did OK with Advanced Squad Leader.

I thought that was Close Combat V: Invasion Normandy.

Sorry, not a boardgame.

And here's a trailer. Reminds me a bit of Transformers and Crysis.

That was a clever film

Man, garbon used to be right about stuff a year ago.

In theory battleship could, perhaps even should, work. A film about battleships not bogged down by history? Awesome.
This though..almost certainly won't be,

Jutland would make an awesome movie.
