    If you stand on your head for too long, when you stand up you can see the Light Bright movie played on the inside of your eyelids. Saves you $10 too.

    What's up with that box cover? Is anyone else disturbed that the mother and little girl are relegated to the kitchen to clean up while the father and son get game night?

    According to the article: "Berg called the pic "a contemporary story of an international five-ship fleet engaged in a very dynamic, violent and intense battle" -- but he would not disclose any details about the enemy force."

    I'm guessing that the only relation to the Battleship game will be the name, five ships on each side, and one side gets obliterated. Sponsored movies are the future. I'm sure scripts are being written for movies like Coca-cola, Pop Tarts, Toyota, and Coors Light too.

    If you watch the "Archive of American Television" interview with Betty White, she entertainingly describes the early days of television, back when it was only on part-time and she had the first (or one of the first, I don't remember) "syndicated" shows.

    IOW: Betty White's career encompasses the lifetime of television, so she definitely deserves an award.

    Re: Battleship.

    Why? There are no battleships left on active duty in any navy. I guess I'm so simple minded that I can't see where this movie goes. Unless it's about the time Tommy won a game by calling out G-4 and sinking Billy's battleship then Billy freaks out on Tommy who promptly beats him over the head with the red battleship set then shoves those plastic ships/ pegs up his nose and anus thus humiliating/traumatizing Billy forever and now a captain in Navy, Billy wants revenge. He'll be screaming "G-4! G-4!" as he kills the crew of his destroyer, takes control of the ship's five inch gun and destroys the billionaire Tommy's waterfront home before a SWAT team led by Shia Lebeef kills him.

    ETA: Edit is great...

    @ManchuCandidate: I think they should cross cut between a kid playing the game in the 1950s and Iraq and Afghanistan blowing up in 2003, and soldiers cursing Bush's name. Then it turns out the kid was Bush, playing with his friends. It'll be the new Julie & Julia.

    Wow, Helen Hunt...there's a blast from the past. I remember thinking she was the most beautiful woman on TV at some point, but that was like 20 years ago, so I wonder what she looks like now...

    Dirty Dancing was 22 years ago. I'm sure Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze ran into each other one or two times since then, he commiserated about her nose job, and they parted friends.
