Last night I decided to watch BATTLESHIP<\/a>, which is a mostly terrible movie that is full of big, stupid fun. I knew almost immediately that I was going to love hating this movie so I decided to do an impromptu live blog on App.net<\/a> of my thoughts as I watched it. I’ve reposted the results here:<\/p>\n

Awe-ful, by the way, is a\u00c2\u00a0very<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0clever portmanteau of awesome and awful, which is absolutely 100% how I would describe this movie.<\/p>\n

Fun fact: Producers originally cast Ben Affleck in the lead role before they realized that Taylor Kitsch is, quote: “prettier and younger and at least 2% better at acting”. Yes, I know that it’s redundant to type ‘quote’ when I am using quotation marks, but I liked the way it sounded in my head and it’s my blog so nyaahhhh!<\/p>\n

Seriously, though, these guys earn the award for worst park rangers ever. Their deaths were in no way unfortunate because they deserved to get grind-murdered by space-blender-death-balls. Also, how fortunate was it that the guard with the keys to the abandoned jeep wasn’t completely ground into mushy-man-pulp so that they could recover said keys?<\/p>\n

No, I didn’t misspell ‘know’. I actually meant ‘now’. Stop judging me. It sounds totally awesome when you say it wrong like that.<\/p>\n

I really, really,\u00c2\u00a0really<\/em> want to know if it’s possible to do to the USS Missouri what these guys did. Because, if so, how\u00c2\u00a0awesome<\/em> would Naval X-Games be?!<\/p>\n

I had an issue with this at the beginning of the movie but I let it go because there were so many other awe-ful things to see. But when it became a critical plot point, I could no longer hold my tongue.<\/p>\n

At one point during my rantings, fellow appnetizen Greg Mooney caught my typo and pointed it out:<\/p>\n

https:\/\/alpha.app.net\/gm\/post\/12561281<\/p>\n

As it turns out, the typo was on my “buddy cop” comment, so it fit perfectly. All-in-all, I enjoyed myself. And really, isn’t that what life is all about?<\/p>\n

P.S. I kept hoping that the Japanese captain would order the attack on Oahu so I could point out the irony of a Japanese naval officer firing on Hawaii in an attempt to save it, rather than destroy it. Sadly, I was disappointed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
