Vincent acting his ass off is so good. The stiffness because of rigor, the decay, the odd fit. I love it. This is such a classic childhood fave.

The job of being in MiB isn't about making money. It's about giving up your life to protect an entire planet. You never being known is a small price to pay for billions of people being safe.

The opening credits "font" is actually hand drawn - there's a specific artist who does this style of credits, which also appear in the 60's film, "Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb."

Men In Black the comics were a interesting blend, The X-Files with dark humor. Published by Aircel & Malibu comics from 1990-1991. Then Marvel Comics got the rights and kept the series standalone (non Marvel universe) with one shot stories and an comic adaptation of the first film. Barry Sonnenfeld directed 2 of The Addams Family films and the original MIB trilogy (1997-2012). Smith & Jones worked so well together. Jones is usually so serious (still is) and did have some laughs. Smith was on the rise as an movie star and proved again he could hold his own with veterans of film. No.3 film of 1997, Academy Award winner for Best Make-Up and Sony's biggest film for 5 years (until Spider-Man). The Predator 2 sunglasses by Ray-Ban wore in the film sold like crazy. The title song by Smith is his first-ever hit single as an solo artist. Later re-teaming with DJ Jazzy Jeff to record his 'Return To Rap' album, Big Willie Style (Gettin Jiggy Wit It, Just The Two of Us, Miami). The animated series ran 4 seasons (53 episodes). MIB 2 was so so and could've been better. MIB 3 was as good as the original and an worthy ending. MIB International aka MIB 4 (2019) is not as loved as the others. But you'll have to see for yourself.

At 12 minutes I heard Tony say "insensitive jerk", but remembered "insensitive prick", which is what the subtitles here say, and I've found the clip elsewhere using the latter. Weird thing to have different versions for. The prick delivery is better.

I love the worms! Their voice actor says it was just improvised jibberish, but it definitely sounds similar to huttese. I’m pretty sure George Lucas was among the secret aliens 😂 Laurel is actually in the animated show, which is a quasi-sequel, like a lot of animated shows based on movies, with details ignored and changed. Like she works in the lab rathern than as J’s partner Supposedly, Laurel’s actor (Linda Fiorentino) was difficult to work with and Tommy Lee Jones only agreed to come back if she wasn’t in it. This hasn’t apparently been confirmed by either. I would not at all be surprised if sexism was a factor. Edit: I see someone else says Harvey Weinstein probably messed with her career. That tracks. MIB2 definitely isn’t great, but I have a soft spot for it, I think it has some good bits. I wouldn’t mind you guys watching it. But 3 is definitely good and worth a watch

My understanding was that Fiorentino’s very popular character was axed because Jones & Smith refused to work with her again. Fiorentino was notoriously difficult on the shooting of several projects, which led her promising career to flame out early. A couple of years later she was a central figure in a scheme to steal FBI evidence and fix a Federal criminal trial. Yes, really. Her ex and her boyfriend faced charges and her career ended abruptly.
@fredkrissman65272 ай бұрын
wiki: "Fiorentino later had a relationship with Los Angeles private investigator Anthony Pellicano and dated former Federal Bureau of Investigation agent Mark T. Rossini. In 2009, Rossini pleaded guilty to illegally accessing FBI computers during the prosecution of Pellicano. Law enforcement officials said Fiorentino wanted to assist Pellicano's defense.[26] According to prosecutors, Fiorentino was then dating Rossini, told Rossini she was researching a screenplay based on Pellicano's case. Rossini conducted searches of government computers for information related to the case and passed the results to Fiorentino,[27] who then handed the files over to Pellicano's lawyers in a failed effort to help Pellicano avoid a 15-year prison sentence.[26]" Too bad, cuz she had a promising career...

Sadly, Linda Fiorentino not being in the sequel is also probably due to her having her career destroyed behind the scenes when she refused the advances of, you guessed it, Harvey Weinstein. She was as big up and comer in the late 90s but all her gigs dried up.

Sounds like Fiorentino wasn’t fun to work with. Tommy Lee Jones wanted her gone and Kevin Smith directed and co-starred with her in Dogma and said: “These are some serious accusations, but Ebert wasn't the only person to write about this. Not only did Tommy Lee Jones allegedly have a problem with Fiorentino, but Kevin Smith, who directed the actress in Dogma, was rather outspoken about his time with her and what it was like to work with her. Per Smith, "Linda created crisis and trauma and anguish. She created drama while we were making a comedy. She was ticked off that there were other people in the movie who were more famous than she was."

It's a shame Part 2 isn't better. I put off watching Part 3 for so long because of how disappointing 2 was. Linda Fiorentino would have been great in 2 instead of all the time wasted bringing K back. She's also very funny in Kevin Smith's Dogma.

1 Edgar/Bug = Vincent D'onofrio played Gomer Pyle in "Full Metal Jacket". 2. Tommy Lee Jones' roommate in college was Al Gore.🤮 3. Jones has claimed that he's never had a part that he didn't love and doesn't have a job. Just a hobby that pays very well.🤑🤑🤑🤑 4. "Congratulations Reggie........It' a squid".🤣 5. Having a weapon with a recoil like that defeats the purpose of a human using it. 6. Tell me this wasn't a fun movie. I dare you.

Men in Black is from UFO lore about who wear black suits. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men_in_black Vincent portrayed the best Thor in _Adventures in Babysitting_.. Linda Florentino had to go on a mission for god in _Dogma_.
