Man, Battleship's apparently gonna have a huge uptick if it's gonna surpass The Avengers somehow.

Apparently you'll watch any movie that's "Loud, overindulgent, and obnoxious.". I'd rather be a fucking snob, then.

Good on you if Hollywood can basically spit in your face and take your money.
If you havent seen the movie yet, why pass judgement?

funny the double standards in this forum..

I was just thinking to myself how The Amazing Spider-Man thread wasn't giving me enough of Dragon Tattoo's opinion.

considering you're barely out of being a fetus, I'm not surprised The Avengers is your favorite movie OF ALL TIME. Anyhoo, I'm getting bored with this... and don't you have an Occupy movement to get to?

Oh no, now you're randomly insulting my youth. How offensive.

Enjoy Battleship, dude. Perhaps only age will allow me to appreciate its subtle genius.

The movie critic at the station I work for said Battleship was a lot better than he was expecting and had a real patriotic vibe. He also gave The Avengers one of his highest ratings ever, so he's not too far off most of the time for me. I tend to agree with him more often than not.

I almost went to a midnight showing just to have something to do, but I can wait for Blu-ray. Besides, anything that keeps The Avengers on top is A-OK with me.

Holy fuck. I actually agree with Dragon Tattoo. I mean, even though he still comes across as someone who discovered the Internet last week...

You're far too young to be so jaded. I'm just sorry for you, that's all sport.

Hey man, just learn to "turn your brain off" and watch shit get blowed up. Don't you know that's what everybody is looking for in a summer film?

Summer action movies with a "patriotic vibe".... AKA as maudlin, heavy handed, flag waving, testosterone-driven escapades of idiocy.

I like the fact that neither one of us will see it in the theatre, and I will probably catch it only when it hits instant netflix.

You bet, because it's idiotic to ever show support for the country one lives in... To hell with showing service members in a good light, where's my welfare handout!
