What the fuck is going on with the credits at the bottom of the poster?

mfunk9786 has committed suicide by slowly lowering himself into a bathtub full of hydrochloric acid. This is being posted by his next of kin.

Nuns and orange people aside I thought that was pretty good actually. I laughed heartily at least.

Occasionally movie poster art is released to the internets before credits are finalized, and they're just a bunch of gibberish. I used to collect poster images at my old job, because web ticketing was something we had a part in, and I'd encounter this every now and again.

Fer crissakes, Hollywood needs to quit beating around the bush and just give us the Brain Donors sequel the world deserves!

The haircut joke was funny and while it's cheap humor I was mildly amused when he poked the Jersey Shore girl in the eyes. Not the kind of movie I really enjoy but it looks better than most of the films made for this demographic. (Jack and Jill anyone?) It's not like the source material was particularly good either. Taking the comic sensibility of the Stooges and placing it in a contemporary setting gives it a kind of Dumb & Dumber vibe. Wouldn't be surprised if it did alright at the box office. I'm just as tired of sequels and remakes as everyone else but this one looks pretty harmless.

If you want to talk about a truly awful trailer, take a look at Mirror Mirror.

A DAY AT THE LIVERY DONORS...seems like an appropriate title.

Anyway, what happened to the Sean Penn, Jim Carrey, Robert DeNiro casting? :wink:

The best thing I can say is the impersonations seem pretty good, but on principal I am against the attempted resurrection of dead actors to star in new films. Oh yeah, and this thing makes the old Stooges' efforts look subtle by comparison.

What does one of the most expensive movies of all time look like? This, apparently

I watched the first trailer back when it was released and still had no idea Peter Berg was directing, but Riggins and Landry should have been a dead giveaway in retrospect

Well, at least you can't deny they've captured the spirit of the game.

Only in that it's going to sink whatever studio funded it

The What To Expect When You're Expecting trailer. With this and New Year's Eve, Love Actually is looking better by the minute.

All I meant was that the trouble with bringing BattleshipTM to the big screen has always been the fact that, to do it right, it would have to be the most expensive film ever made. Thankfully, Hollywood has finally amassed enough money to do just that.

Maybe that low sound throughout the trailer isn't just leftover ADR from Transformers but is actually what A-4, A-5, A-6 sounds like in real-life

The Battleship trailer was sorely lacking in Liam Neeson, upon watching his ships being destroying, saying, "You sunk my battleship."

This easily surpasses Indy IV as the most superfluous big-budget sequel ever, doesn't it? Not to mention very possibly ill-fated. The last one was 10 years ago, for crying out loud, and felt wholly unnecessary the way it was. I wouldn't be all that surprised if that ship has sailed.

Was the first one even that big of a hit? All I can remember of it is that idiotic Will Smith music video where he does the thriller dance with aliens that MTV broadcast at least twice an hour back in the late '90s. That and Sisqo's Thong Song. What horrible memories.

I for some reason saw it three times during the first two days of its opening weekend, though this may have been anomaly.

It has the uh, distinction of being the first VHS I ever bought with my allowance money. It certainly was a huge hit among area pre-teens at the time.

The first one was a huge hit, $250 million domestically. But no, in no way is a third film in the series necessary. The second film cost $50 million more than the first and made $60 million less. This one will probably cost $200 million and struggle to break $100 at the US box office.

I liked the way that the annoying heavenly choirs, explosions and metallic noises were drowned out by a tinnitus sound near to the end of the trailer, or maybe that was just me.

I did also like the "From Hasbro, the company that brought you Transformers" tagline!
