Skyline is a Mulligan of a movie. Even if it’s worse than Stigkata* it’s no big deal. No one knew it was coming until a few months ago and it’s a movie about gigantic space jerks hauling ass to Earth in gigantic alien rides. Even if it’s a SyFy movie with top dog FX work [and the Bros. Strauss are indeed top FX dogs and I bet they tell good Nursery Rhymes too], we win.
When your leading men are Eric Balfour and Donald Faison there had better be some Galaxy Soggoths in tow.
The new second trailer features more of the destruction and beastly mayhem that so engaged Comic Con crowds, and it also showcases a few moments that have Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Cloverfield, War of the Worlds, and Dead Heat (in my dreams) vibes. It looks interesting, though I fear that the spectacle will be the main enjoyment for folks who are more discerning. That said, this independently made and then studio bought flick will definitely have high school dudes shouting ‘Dude’ when they see hundreds of lazy bodies being sucked into the sky.
Either way… giant alien assholes + the destruction of places I love = free press screening invite TAKEN.
* manifesting the exact wounds as Kurt Thomas’ career.

Sorry I ruined your relationship with Devin. But, look on the bright side: he's an utter turd and you're well rid of him.
Thanks for the laugh and the tip, Nick. And the Google-defying arcane references, of course.
The first trailer looked like another boring SyFy dud, but this one is wonderfully silly enough to get me to see this.
LOL at the Dead Heat reference. Also…is Frankie R. Faison well known outside of the Faison household, even without being related to Donald Faison?
Does anyone remember who wrote the piece about Eric Balfour being any film's kiss of death?
Remember when the ID4 aliens looked badass until the Fresh Prince floored one with a single punch? Nice to see that the Skyline aliens are a bit more formidable.
Couldn't happen to a nicer species.
Nick, folks have been telling you for years that Devin was a dismissive, name-calling, temper tantrum throwing bully. Now that you're on the receiving end, how does it feel? One's reputation is incredibly important in any industry, let alone one as dominated by "word of mouth" as the entertainment profession. Someone you've defended against countless detractors for over a decade, and who you paid a decent living to when nobody else would, just called you a "deadbeat," said you weren't a good businessman, weren't worth calling over an unpaid debt, and that you couldn't be trusted to keep your word. Do you realize just how incredibly bad all of that comes across? You want people to trust you with valuable intellectual properties and partner with you on ventures, and the ex-face of your site just basically said you aren't worth working with. The contempt for you is palpably dripping from his posts.
wait? what? i thought devin left on amicable terms. did i miss something?
Wow, the Troll Jism is positively flying in here. What, are Nick and Devin the cool couple in high school who have the big break up and you're the social nobodies trying to insinuate yourselves into the drama? Just read the article, click the link and move the fuck on. Movie looks like it might be fun at least.
