The joke in today’s comic about Skyline is kind of dependent on you having actually seeing the movie. And since the film came in 4th at the box office this weekend, I’m going to assume not a lot of you did.
That’s okay. If you watch the trailer you can pretty much get a sense of how ridiculous this movie gets with the lens flares and the blue lights. It’s like a K-Mart Blue Light Special up in here! HEY-O!
For an extra dash of ridiculousness, please enjoy this screen shoot of Eric Balfour from the trailer.
ACTING!
By the way, did anyone catch the trailer for Battle: Los Angeles that came out early last week. Looks suspiciously similar to Skyline, if you ask me. Funny how they released the trailer the same weekend Skyline hit theaters. Just sayin’…
So, like I said, no one bothered to see Skyline this weekend. I probably could have made fun of Megamind, which held on to the number one spot for a second weekend in a row. Or, at the very least, taken a shot at the Denzel Washington/Chris Pine out-of-control locomotive thriller Unstoppable. But, truthfully, Saturday Night Live got there first and did a better job of it.
I don’t want to alarm anyone, but I think I might have gone crazy with all the clip and image embedding. Fair warning.
Alright, alright. I’ll admit I don’t have anything interesting to say about Skyline. But maybe YOU do! If you happened to see this Independence Day knock-off or want to say something about it’s knock-off Battle: Los Angeles, leave your comments below. Similarly, let us know what you think if you saw Unstoppable. To me it looks like Speed except much more… linear. At least a bus with a bomb on it can run around town. There’s not much going on with that train unless you put something in front of it about 10 minutes in advance.
