When we heard that "Battleship" was being made into a movie, we immediately had two questions: 1) "Why?" and 2) "Will there be pegs?"
The answer to the first question was, "Shut up," and the answer to the second was, "You bet your sweet ass there will be pegs."
Of course, when pondering the film, which features the unlikely combination of Liam Neeson and Rihanna, one inevitably comes to a third, more important query: "What's next?"
After all, if "Battleship" can be made into a movie (Will Liam Neeson say, "You sunk my battleship!" to an alien... NO, stop, don't tell us!), who is to say you can't make a Hollywood blockbuster out of Trivial Pursuit or Sorry?
With that in mind, here are our fantasies suggestions for more Hasbro-based cinema classics.
