Dear Hollywood: Battleship

It has been over a month since this feature made its debut, so just for a refresher, check out the letters that circled J. Edgar. Basically, if you know those columns with the 'agony aunts' that go:
Dear Agony Aunt,
I'm always cold. What do I do?
From I. C. Colde.
...then you'll know what I'm on about here. But we're putting it in the context of a movie, and Hollywood will be replying to the sender. In the hotseat tonight we have Battleship.

Dear Hollywood,

It would seem that we have run out of ideas for movies. Someone has already adapted The Hunger Games, Twilight and Harry Potter, and to make it worse, they've split the last book into two films so they don't have the problemm of thinking up new ideas. Cheaters. The only thing that young cinema-goers love more than adaptations of their favourite books are explosions. Now, I think we've run out of superheroes to have running away from explosions. Unless we reboot the Batman franchise so we can release it a week after The Dark Knight Rises. We don't know where else we can get ideas from so we can have movies filled with explosions. I mean, where do you get inspiration for that kinda stuff from? Like, you need a story to go with the explosions to keep it interesting. Like in Transformers, there was a story about a guy with a stutter who ended up going out with a really hot girl. And there were lots of explosions. That turned out okay, didn't it?

Yours sincerely,
Peter Berg,
Explosion Story Department,
Michael Bay's Henchmen Inc.
