- While the mother ship is repairing itself just stand there and watch. Why bother trying to run when they are busy?
- You have been trying to stay quiet all movie so they can't find you, so when troops come go and scream on top of the roof for attention.

- Own a pistol.try not to shoot at a metal door at close range or be the bright friend that is standing there next to the idiot shooting at a metal door at close range. Bullets ricochet and flying metal become shrapnel.
- Watch Tom Cruise's War of the World and then remember that for aliens that have crossed the galaxies, aliens that have mastered interstellar travel.. that going for "the boats" is a STUPID IDEA!!! Good chance they covered the concept of sailing and water if their ships are H O V E R I N G !!!
- Know that it is time to stop listening to your boyfriend or girlfriend when their idea to get off the roof quickly and without the monster aliens seeing you is to take a scaffolding. Yep, the slowest moving predetermined destination motorized vehicle that can be found in a city Also movie reference The Untouchables. if Kevin Costner can catch Frank Nitti going over the edge of a building I am pretty sure the fast moving Aliens can.unless you have the magic shades in the apartment. Better than a Klingon cloaking device they are

I enjoyed this movie.but these threads are funny as poop

29. If aliens attack, and they want your brain, just let them take it and you will be reborn into a super-cool alien body and you can save your girlfriend
30. if you are poor, and your rich friend offers you a shot at money and famedont take it. Its better to have a gf that gets pissy about moving to LA and being loaded.
-Yes I am from Norway-
-Yes we have oil.
-No, you cant have any. -

- Be sure to get these window blinds as they are great when a nuclear device goes off in your town. There is no damage what so ever. awesome!
- If you are low on water dont go and search the other appartments where the people were sucked out of. There is no chance they have a fridge willed with food and water like normal people. If you did you might survive for months

- And dont do the same for weapons and such. its LA, everyone is packin
-Yes I am from Norway-
-Yes we have oil.
-No, you cant have any.

- Always have at least one character say: "I know you're scaredwe're all scared!"
- Make a shameless play for a sequel.
- Never forgetthe aliens are the stars, not the humans.
Norway is a beautiful country.
We know you have oiland we know where it is.
Next time Germany comes calling, we'll let you handle it alone.

- If Nuclear bombs and machine guns are ineffective against an alien, just use your fists and a cinder block.
WE'll be ok in Wales then, 99% of houses are made of breeze block and we all have plenty of spare blocks in our gardens
- If Nuclear bombs and machine guns are ineffective against an alien, just use your fists and a cinder block.

- If you're tearing open buildings to get every brain you can, knock soldiers off the roof.
- Aliens don't know which city to go to for brains.
- They are OBVIOUSLY there to steal the valuable smog.
The more I think, the more I am?

- A super advanced extra-terrestrial race will come to earth and use the brains from a race that has managed only to make it to their own moon.
- After managing to stay somewhat safe within a building, you should run out into the open to get to another building with monstars all around.

- Your girlfriend will be more angry with you for NOT telling her about the huge job offer in LA that you had no idea about than for replying with an "oh beep to her "I'm late" announcement.
- Always fight giant floating aliens head on. They won't think to use one of their 50 tentacles to sneak up behind you
- If you're the main character, your brain will unexplainably be red instead of blue like the supporting cast in your life.
- Just because aliens have giant floating indestructible self-repairing ships that are capable of traveling from places we can't even see, while transporting their entire army along with the tech to extricate human brains DOES NOT automatically mean that they have infrared or body heat signature tech like our army doestherefore you can hide behind anything from counters to bed sheets.
- Yell at your life long best friend for coming out of his own bathroom AFTER he just brought you out to his penthouse in LA on his dime, partied with you all day, and offered you the career of a lifetimehe'll just hold his head down in shame, pout his lips, and walk away looking sad.
- Go ahead and turn down the hott brunette who wants to bang you even tho you already been banging her and even took pics of it. And when you turn her down, make sure to look like you're taking the better road.
- Give your girlfriend the camera with evidence that you been cheating on her and let her look through it. Hopefully she won't notice anything suspiciouslike you kissing on her assistant's neck.
- Aliens are attacking. Let's all argue over who agrees with who. No need to sit down and construct a solid plan of survival for my pregnant girlfriend.
- Let's go out yet again and try to escape the aliens who have proven that they are everywhere. And let's leave all the kitchen knives in the kitchen, hopefully we won't need them.
- Aliens are attacking. I've been arguing with the only person who has some sense of survival. Hey, it's my turn to offer a suggestion. I know I know, let's try to make it to the boats again.
- Aliens are attacking and I'm stuck in a penthouse with some jerk, his pregged g/f and a hott blondeI know, I'll stay up and keep watch and I'll ask the jerk to have my back instead of trying to convince the hott blonde to keep watch with me so I can hopefully bang her before I die
- Keep your girlfriend or wife pregnant. Apparently that's the only thing about her that's gonna be an advantage if aliens attack.
- Women, if you ain't knocked up you're gonna be useless and die a horrible deathsorry.

- All black men regardless of their lot in life have a firearm stashed somewhere that nobody knows about.
- When the armed black man shows up to save you during an alien invasion, you should look at the gun, act startled and slightly uncomfortable and say "why do you have a gun?" instead of thanking your lucky stars that you have a weapon to fight with.
- Aliens can't hear, therefore it is perfectly safe to breathe heavily and loudly shush others while ducking behind a counter.
- Aliens will always be crude looking terrifying beasts that have no way of communicating with us despite all their advanced weaponry and tech.
- Aliens haven't learned how to blend in and be inconspicuoustherefore, there will always be a fight that they may possibly lose.
- Aliens have digestive tracts that go straight to their brainsso just make sure you have a red brain so you can take over their body when they eat it.
- When the air force attacks, you will just so happen to be in the same cityand your tv screen will have excellent footage of the entire ordeal.
- Yell "everybody get down" AFTER the nuke hitsno need to warn people beforehand.
- Nuclear fallout, radiation, and impact shock is a mythyou should be fine in seconds.
- The car you're driving can be smashed by a giant alien foot and you can be dropped out of the car from 10 ft and still have the wits and endurance to run, dodge, and roll while they attack you
- Tell your friend to get the H E double hockey sticks outta they way while you're running from an alien
- Bang the hott blonde as soon as the opportunity presents itself while you're still alive

- If you're an alien species depending on your first primary attack being people seeing your glowing blue light, attack at 4 am, I'm sure people will be awake.
- Inexplicably be awake at 4 am conveniently enough to get abducted by the worst first strike scenario ever
- Aliens are all over this roof, let's run in circles screaming
- When in doubt, use a fire axe
- Show no shame for robbing dozens of blockbuster films blind of their original creature design and integral plot points.

Thank you for the good advice; when my alien overlords come to harvest brains, I think I will advise them to go for dolphins and whales, because should they absorb the brains of the script writers of Skyline by accident - oh the inhumanity!
71. Lot's of admittedly very good effects make up for a lack of story. If only R. Emmerich knew this
72. Being exposed to an alien light source will get you possessed.
73. A brick and fists do more damage than an axe.
74. A gas explosion (stove top) is more effective than a bazooka.
