Okay, I really need to see the script for Battleship, because I refuse to believe "stay frosty" was included in Cmdr Stone Hopper's (ASkars') original moto speech to his destroyer crew. It was LOL-worthy.
There were gapping plot holes and silly science and an utter waste of the hotness of ASkars' biceps. But there was also a lot of shiny!pretty, including Liam Neeson, John Tui, Tadanobu Asano, and even Taylor Kitsch once he cut his hair. Plus explosions.
Peter Berg really does seem to re-use actors he likes (Riggins and Landry from FNL -- the only thing better would've been to see Coach Taylor or Matt Saracen among the crew).
How much money did the USN pay for that two hour commercial?
Lastly, spring/summer blockbuster movies are now influencing my food choices. Left the theater last week wanting shawarma and this week wanting a chicken burrito.

Unrelated shiny!pretty: Marc Lopez and Marcel Granollers won the men's doubles championship at BNL d'Italia today before the rain swept in. Ladies' singles halted in progress, men's final on hold. Clearly I'm going to get no errands run today. But I guess I have no excuse not to prep for the meetings scheduled for Monday and Tuesday.
shiny pretty stuff,
stuff to watch,
