And THIS Is Why I've Barely Been Blogging...

Okay, I'm coming back, but starting off with a quick one. I tweeted about this one this morning, but still can't wrap my mind around the direction in which Hollywood is heading....it just seems to get worse and worse by the millisecond.

Rihanna and that kinda hot dude Eric from "True Blood" (I can't remember his real name) are the leads in the film "Battleship", based on the freaking kids game! I wrote about this travesty of a possibility a couple years back, but figured someone must have come down from their crack high since I didn't hear about it again. Until now. Crack pipes for everyone!

Psssh. I'm still waiting on my Monopoly movie. But this sounds pretty riveting. Is he going to pick F5 or B7???

I wonder if they'll play on Rihanna's forehead...

Never under estimate the value of a good crack high. Never!

I wonder if there will be a critical point in the movie, where all looks dark and at its worst. Then someone will yell out......You sank my battleship!

oh girl i know what you mean. i am quite upset about rih-rih being in this movie. homegirl can hardly get rid of her dead eyes during her songs and now she's gonna try to "act" in a feature film? yikes! like i posted on Shadow and Act, I hope she has a great acting coach because this could be a disaster. I'd almost rather see Beyonce (cringe) in the role...almost....and can't wait for the Vonetta McGee tribute.

@blaqbird: ha! i know--who could be worse than beyonce? i think we have a winner!

i wrote about a year back about how rihanna can sing all of these different types of songs, and not ever even once change the expression on her face. she must surely be a robot, or something of the like.

Alrighty!

This would be not be a must see film for me anyway.

Welcome back!

I'll be looking forward to your tribute to some for real Black star power.

It might work.
Wasn't Jumanji a board game too?
Didn't they have some movie which revolved around an ouija board?

(By the way, I checked out Wattstax. Even bought a few copies to give to friends. I often show it on the video monitors at a club I run. Thanks for the heads-up.)

I don't see how any could actually walk into a meeting present Battleship as a movie idea. Then again Clue is one of my favorite movies.

Why not just do

1) Life the movie
2) Checkers the movie
3) Chess the prequal

Actually, I think Robot Chicken did an episode of board games that could turned into movies, like Chutes and Ladders. LOL

@msladydeborah: i hope this is not on ANYONE'S must see list!

@ubj: i've never seen jumanji, and trust, i never will. i would equate it to this....i know the one based on the ouija board was a flop, though the concept actually made more sense.

soooo glad you like wattstax! i want to show that film to everyone in the world! i'm glad you're getting it out there :-) did not know you had a club...
