Qt3 Movie Podcast: Battleship

Posted by on May 21, 2012 in Movie Podcasts

We watch Battleship so you don’t have to. And then Kelly Wand administers a Liam Neeson synopsis takedown. This week’s 3×3, which starts at the 46-minute mark in case you want to avoid Battleship spoilers, is our choice of movies that triumph over silly stuff like Magneto’s hat in those X-Men movies.

Next week: Chernobyl Diaries

    I think you guys have sold me on seeing this movie.

  • Broooski

    The point of Scotland is Scapa Flow, which is the home of battleships.

  • John Roberdeau

    With regard to the Paul Schrader discussion, his next project is a Brett Easton Ellis novel called Canyons that is being funded on Kickstarter. I am not too clear on the details, as they were only asking for 100k, which they have already received. I have no plans to see Battleship, and I am glad that between this and John Carter, Taylor Kitsh’s film career is probably over. I would put up “pretty much everything in Hellraiser” as my 3×3 answer for the week.

    For Kelly Wand’s Canadadote:
    Take the shortcut behind the building, thru the swamp for the mildly superior Xtreme Pita. But don’t come crying if you end up with your foot in the creek if you slip up on the wood plank bridge.

  • Kelly Wand

    ‘K, ty.  It really is the awesomest swamp to have ever ensconced an office park…  

  • Christien Murawski

    Yeah, but they’re all at the bottom, upside down, so these aliens have some pretty crappy intel.

  • Christien Murawski

    I truly believe Kelly should be getting a percentage.

    Shouldn’t it be a Canadecdote (or ‘Candecdote’)?

    A Candedote (or ‘Canadote,’ I think Kelly Wand has used both of those — I like your ‘Canadadote’ better, but I don’t think he’s used that one) always sounds to me like hipster slang for sewing a Canadian flag on your backpack to keep people from sneering at you when you travel in Europe — “Dude.  Just apply a little Canadote and you’ll have chicks following you back to the hostel every night!”

    But then I can never figure out how Kelly Wand names his synopses either.  I would have said ‘Battleshinopsys’ (or ‘Battleshopsys’) for this one.  And ‘Dark Shadopsys’ for the previous one and been wrong both times.

    What I do know is that Tom almost always flubs the “mispronounce Dingus’s name” gag.   It always comes across as “and Christian … Mmm [oh, crap, I was supposed to think of a funny pronunciation for this] erkow…opsys..ky?”

    But last week’s ‘Christian Morose-ky” was so good that all is forgiven.

    Urthman, I think I speak for all of us when I say that I love that you’re listening closely enough to notice these things. :)  I guess we’re just going to have to step up our game!
