I’m highly skeptical. I played Battleship as a kid. A lot. I had to beg my family members to indulge me over and over. And then one day it occurred to me: this game is seriously boring. So when I hear that there’s a movie in the making based on the Hasbro game, Battleship, I’m highly skeptical.
Enter Alexander Skarsgård as a naval officer idolized by his younger brother played by Taylor Kitsch, who I know only as Gambit though I realize he’s made Cosmo girls swoon in many more places than that.
Whatever. Bring the brother on brother forbidden fantasy that we all share (don’t try to deny it), or go home with this one. There’s going to have to be major skin to make me buy a movie ticket to a game based on such riveting dialogue as “E-4…. miss…….. J-8…… miss…..”
Even for my favorite fanged 6’4″ Swedish adonis, I’m highly skeptical.

Taylor Kitsch was also good in The Covenant, with Steven Strait, if you like that kind of thing. Which I do.
P.S. When we were kids, my little brother used to cheat at Battle Ships. He'd MOVE his ships. His defense: "REAL battleships MOVE!"
Are you watching True Blood Season 3? There's a new hunk who is giving Skarsgard some competition. The actor's name is Joe Manganiello and he plays Alcide, a werewolf Eric assigns to protect Soukie. Manganiello is hot, hot, hot. Check out any of his pics on Google Images or here:http://iamatvjunkie.typepad.com/i_am_a_tv_junkie_a_blog_f/joe-manganiello/Here's hoping we'll see this stud in Neverland very soon!
Bruno, I've anxiously anticipated Joe's True Blood appearance, but I've been traveling for the past few weeks and therefore haven't been caught up on True Blood yet. I completely agree with you. I'm not sure who could stand up in a battle against this muscled behemoth, but he's got to show up in the Producer's Ring soon.http://sidelineland.blogspot.com/2010/06/taking-time-to-adjust.html
