What is this I don't even

I'm not even going to get into my thoughts on Megaforce because it would take me hours and all of my opinions are unpopular anyway. So fuck that, I have fandomsmash to report.

My husband, who is ridiculous and harbors an irrational enjoyment of terrible movies, decided that we were going to watch Battleship this evening. Initially I complained about this, as you do, until it was brought to my attention that John Tui is not only in the film, he actually has a decently big part. Wrap your heads around this fact, friendslist. JOHN TUI IS IN FUCKING BATTLESHIP. He of course plays a spectacular badass who is also quite useful because he seems to be the only one around capable of getting the protagonist to curb his "angsty Red Ranger"-ish qualities. And of course, his guns are ridonkulous and he looks stupid hot in a military uniform.

It is both surreal and hilarious to see Daggeron in a boat with Rihanna.

One of the other major characters in this film is played by Hamish Linklater, who no one cares about but me because I happened to see him in a Broadway play with Alan Rickman last year. I am kind of proud of both of these guys for getting into a major movie. It is a superbly crappy major movie, but it is a major movie nonetheless. So yeah. Thumbs up, guys.

(Footnote: For the purpose of keeping myself entertained and distracted from how silly the plot is, I'm keeping score on who is having a more difficult time controlling his accent, John Tui or Liam Neeson. So far, Liam Neeson is losing.)
