Re: Rhianna's Battleship Dialogue

[Scott Sheriff] "You're right. That is almost as ridiculous as basing an entire movie on a 40+ year old amusement park dark ride.
Oh wait, that's been done too, at least with an amount of success."

While I agree that both are kind of dumb, risky ideas (one paid off, the other didn't so much), I would say that basing a movie off of a fun theme park attraction about swashbuckling pirates is a much better idea than basing one off a $10 board game where you place tiny pegs into crudely detailed plastic boats.

That being said, the way that the studios have dragged the Pirate franchise into the dirt with three average-to-terrible sequels... well, that's about as nauseating and offensive as just making the one Battleship movie.
