Still waiting for someone to option "Footfall", by Niven and Pournelle. Everyone should nuke Kansas, at least once in their lives.

The government is trying to mainstream the concept into our minds so that we can be better prepared for what they already know but have yet to tell us - the aliens are coming!!!!

In military SF, I think that I'd prefer the Dorsai series, by Dickson.

Now that the SAC base in Wichita has been replaced by a refueling wing and the Titan II ICBM's scattered about the countryside have been shipped out, there is precious little here in Kansas left to nuke. :lmao:

from what i understand, they have been making this one for 3 years. Fox got wind of it and decided to scrap some (also) high budget special effects heavy version together very quickly and release it (skyline) months prior. The problem is that supposedly skyline is a huge joke in hollywood and was made with basically no script or story.
battle LA should be epic.

Already started my preemptive invasion stockpile - wither it be aliens, Koreans, zombies, etc...
I just don't understand all the real big hush hush secrecy. Are we going to all die? Be slaves? Kill them all in a gloriously epic battle won by weapons and not just sneezing on them? Are they even real or all the photos military testing? I'd LIKE to know/believe some truth, but without some kind of proof, I'll just keep to my own opinion.

I think we got a last starfighter kinda twist going on here. The aliens are incapable of violence so they sent cod black ops down to train their new proxy army

Oh my guess was it's our government secretly training us to pilot remote robot soldiers who are on the front lines via the movie "Toys".

The more that I think about it, the more I think that a movie based on the Palladium Games "Rifts" roleplaying game might work. Name a genre and it's there. Inter-dimensional or otherworldly aliens? Yup. Vampires and zombies? You got it. Totalitarian states fighting for survival? Check. Giant robots slugging it out? Oodles. Mostly naked blind Ninja chicks that can rip your head off without breaking a sweat? Oh yeah.

LOL i know exactly what you speak of, but never played.
I did play robotech though, and i think a really well done, super high budget "Mech" film would be so badass.

Skyline = waste of time and money
Good effects. Absolutely no story. A couple of plot elements thrown in to try and fool you into thinking that there's a story. Plays like a 2 hour long blood-letting, scripted by H.P. Lovecraft.
Don't waste your money. Seriously. I went to a noon show and there were six people, including me, in the theatre. I looked around after about 45 minutes and I was the only one there.

Ever read anything by Lovecraft? Of course people get eaten. Still, it ain't worth the money.

Been meaning to but haven't quite got around to it
I agree, I watched Skyline tonight. Utter piece of garbage. Some of the same guys that worked on it, did Battle LA. It's probably going to be a big fat stinking piece of shit too.
I liked EXO Squad and had the toys, probably still have them in storage. If you go back and watch it now, it's nothing but a politically correct cartoon to teach kids about how bad slavery was.

except we didnt get to shoot the slaves afterwards. i always saw it as a cautionary tale about genetic engineering

The slaves also didn't enslave us and we have to fight back.
