Random: You sank my battleship!

I wasn't planning to see Battleship, but I did read this review, which explains how a lot of action films deal with narrative:

[T]here isn’t so much a script as there are two word vats, one labelled "exposition" and one labelled "one-liners", the contents of which are ladled with a cheery splat on whichever character happens to pointing at the Loud Thing Happening At The Time.

And this, children, is why the Transformers cartoons, even the cheesy '80s ones, are so much better than the movies. Roll out.
