More news about our favorite movie-to-come-based-on-a-board-game, "Battleship." It just gets better and better:

Tom Arnold! Well, they're going to make that $200 million back on day one. I am curious to see two things:

1. Since it's a movie about an alien invasion, it'll be interesting to see how we manage to defeat a technologically advanced civilization with enormous mortar rounds. We know how earthlings defeated the bad guys in "Independence Day" - simply upload a virus into their computers using a Mac laptop (all civilizations in the galaxy use TCP/IP, I guess.) Or, in "War of the Worlds," wait for the aliens to think "hey, did we enable the biofilters when we came to an alien world, or have we been sucking back straight unpurified atmosphere since we got here? Oh crap." This will also be an issue with "Skyline," which looks pretty cool.

2. Someone has to say "You sunk my Battleship," right? But since the movie is about a Battleship, it seems unlikely one will actually be sunk. If the line's spoken, it will be in jest. And we know just who will say it now, don't we. Tom Arnold: you're the proud owner of a 37-year-old catchphrase. Use it wisely.

Here's the trailer for "Skyline," by the way.
