If you saw Skyline late last year, most likely you said something afterward to the effect of, “What was that crap I just wasted my money on?” Now, I am one of those people that is really forgiving when it comes to movies I was excited to see but ended up not enjoying at first. After all, sometimes one’s initial opinion can change after one dwells upon it and lets it sink in over time. With Skyline, however, I had no choice but to feel like I just wasted $8.00 and two hours of my life that I can’t ever get back. My opinion never changed (of course, now that I’ve said this, people will probably rent it and think it wasn’t all that bad).

Hopefully, with Battle: Los Angeles, we’ll get the alien invasion movie we all hoped Skyline would be. It sure looks like it will be! Check out the full trailer below!

According to a Tweet by LOST co-creator Damon Lindelof, 9,078 people played the New York Mega Millions Lottery last night, using LOST character Hugo “Hurley” Reyes’s (Jorge Garcia) “lucky” numbers from the TV series. Those numbers, being 4 8 15 16 23 42, won each person $150 since the winning numbers were 4-8-15-25-47 with a mega ball of 42!

Hurley’s numbers played a significant role on the series, both in bringing him extreme wealth ($156 million as a matter of fact) as well as extremely unlucky circumstances. They show up time and time again throughout the course of the series and end up tying in to the destinies of certain characters on “The Island.” Looks like 9,078 people – albeit a small, indirect way – have also partaken in this phenomenon.

I knew it! “The Island” is real!
