Dyson Ain’t Got Nothing on These Aliens
Behold the trailer for Skyline, or, as I like to call it, Dan Rather’s Independence Day. It’s a movie starring Donald Faison — not as Lando, unfortunately — and others in the midst of a pretty awesome alien invasion, complete with the universe’s most powerful people vacuum. Assuming these aliens’ spaceships don’t run on a Mac OS and Randy Quaid doesn’t manage to take one of them out in a biplane, I’m going to say this looks pretty damned good.

Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
