A teen comedy with actors in their late 30s?
Looking forward to this.  Not.

Ah, Hollywood and their sequels   They never know when to quit.

The class of 1999 return to East Great Falls for their high-school reunion.

Yeah sounds like they planning to have them play teenagers...

Watched Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Surprisingly entertaining; then again, I didn't expect much of it.

They sure have queer accents in the Bay Area . . . which isn't surprising, considering that of the main cast only the lead role and John Lithgow are American, with the rest being from UK, India or Canada.

So what do you think are the odds Stifler ingests something disgusting?

On May 18, 2011, a casting call went out for the character "Kara", a role that involved "upper frontal nudity

Another of the new characters:

March 2011 Was voted Sexiest Woman Alive by Esquire

As I said, a teen comedy.  If only in spirit.

The odds are very high, as well as Jim's odds of doing something stupid, sex-wise.

*I'm not 'internet critiquing' a woman's body and saying it's not up to some modern plasticised standard.

Commie.

[Admiral Yi]

Tourist, with Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie.  All star cast, lush Venician exteriors, painfully underwritten.

The rest of Men With Brooms, gritty underdog small town curling team makes good.  Stars the same guy that was in that Mountie in Chicago show and Passaendale.  The invincible team that they have to beat to win the trophy turns out to be from...Butte, Montana.  Really guys?  A Canadian film about a Canadian sport and the bad guys have to be from the US?  Get over it already.  Find some other reason for getting up in the morning.

Most comedies are these days. Old School, Grown Ups, Role Models, The Hangover, etc.

WTF?  Peter Berg has out-Tony Scotted Michael Bay.

Disgusting.

I like The Atlantic's comment on this:

When Universal Studios released the trailer Wednesday for Battleship, the film adaptation of the classic blind-luck board game, it was almost as if they had attached a note saying, "Yep, we're officially out of ideas."

[Neil]

Did anyone really expect better though?  When you heard that they were adapting the Battleship game into a film, didn't you feel as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced?

[Tonitrus]

It cannot be worse than "Stealth".

Though, granted, no Jessica Biel booty.

I don't understand why they just don't do a Jutland movie.  Why won't they do a Jutland movie?  Or Denmark Strait (see, battleships and airpower, we could both be happy).  Whatever.  The point is, the technology is there.

It cannot be worse than "Stealth".

In fairness, that movie sort of has the skeleton of a decent premise deep inside its shittiness.  I dunno, UAVs gain sapience and hold humans hostage for electricity or gasoline or something.  Makes more sense than the Terminator films (lol, let's hook up all our nuclear weapons to a single artificial intelligence without running a single simulation of how it will react before we do!).
