Atrocious.

Yes that is her, as Renee Walker in 24 season 8.

I can honestly say I've never seen anyone hating on Will Smith. Maybe one of his movie roles (people calling Hancock terrible or whatever) but nobody seems to hate on Smith himself. He's the most bankable actor in Hollywood and also seems very down to earth. Even just the other day when the media tried to create a controversy with the "Will Smith Attacks Reporter" stuff, everyone was on his side.

MIB2 had Lara Flynn Boyle looking pretty hot. I forgive it.

Amazon had both the previous films on blu ray for $13 so I bit. Been probably a decade since I've seen either film. Don't think I ever saw MiB 2 after the theaters.

Thats the job of a parent. We can't blame him for that.

Constantine is another one /runs

I just re-watched both of them the other day and I thought they were good as well. I'm definitely down to see this movie, if only as payment for having freeloaded on the first 2 a dozen times on TV while I was younger.

I haven't either. I need to buy it one day and watch it again.

Was totally essential to the story that MiB HQ had a Sprint Store.

From the other thread - all that surgery caught up to her. I think her face is not solid anymore.

PowderedToast · (05-21-2012, 01:59 AM)

yo anyone remember that ps1 mib game? was shit hard. like a fucking enigma when i was a kid, sorta like resi or some shit

ZeroGravity · (05-21-2012, 02:03 AM)

The movie's plot is basically a ripoff of an episode from the Men in Black animated series. I doubt it'll be nearly as good though.

friskykillface · (05-21-2012, 02:14 AM)

Will watch for the end scene, those were always the best parts of the first two movies, made me go D: 0_o

Smh if they don't have one for this one.

JdFoX187 · (05-21-2012, 02:16 AM)

I never did understand the ending of the first one with the marbles.

Wowsers.

Don't do plastic surgery, kids.

RatskyWatsky · (05-21-2012, 02:32 AM)

I wish they would have just left Tommy Lee Jones' character alone. Let him live happily ever after with his wife ffs. MiB 2 should have been Will Smith and the morgue woman going on adventures instead of whatever the fuck it was about.

And the PS2 DualShock controller in the flying car. Sony is the absolute worst when it comes to product placement.

Also, I just read a brief synopsis for the MiB comic books, and it kinda sounds like a faithful adaptation of it would be pretty cool. I love the idea of the MiB being a nefarious rogue government group that wants to control the world.

Yeah I thought K was too old for this shit and wanted to retire in peace, 15 years later hes still on board?

Yeah I read in Empire's review that TMJ seems like he doesn't want to be in the movie at all. Very tired, drab performance. Then again, apparently he's only in the entire movie for about 15 minutes

Chick from the first film didn't want to reprise her role.

TLJ hated her. HATED. Farentino had a horrible rep though. Kevin Smith hated working with her on Dogma.

She was so fine in MIB though...

Synth_floyd · (05-21-2012, 03:09 AM)

So it's getting good reviews? That's surprising since they basically wrote Tommy Lee Jones out of the film by having it set in the past.

Well thank God for that. We don't need anymore 66 year old action heroes.

Cypher · (05-21-2012, 03:13 AM)

Aside from her rep, Linda Fiorentino was pretty hot back in the day....

What's so bad about her rep?

Kevin Smith is one of the easiest Directors to get along with. If he hates working with you, then you must be a genuine asshole. His Bruce Willis stories are fucking great.

Where could I see/read those? And I'm also very interested in hearing why Fiorentino is so reviled? I really liked her in both MIB and Dogma, and then *poof* she was off the radar completely.

Ford could still hang in there. Stallone doesn't look too bad either, or didn't in The Expendables. Arnold looks like shit though.

artist · (05-21-2012, 03:35 AM)

Lets focus on this movie.

JdFoX187 · (05-21-2012, 03:37 AM)

I hope she brings more to this role than she did in The Raven. God she was so terrible in that. Her movie choice is humorous as of late since she dropped out of X-Men First Class due to a poor script.

Real life photo, after filming Expendables 2 they both had to get surgery on their shoulder and ended up in the same hospital room.

That's a good look on Arnold. Better than how he looked in the Expendables 2 trailer.

Yes, The Tomb.

The worst part about Jones being brought back for the sequel is that it undid the poignant ending of the first movie.

Just like the galaxy in MiB was small enough to fit on the cat's collar, ours was just a marble along with other galaxies on an alien world.

BertramCooper · (05-21-2012, 08:11 PM)

So is this one going to be longer than MiB2, which was like 80 minutes long?

It wasn't horirble to me, but definitely phoned in. On the bright side, in addition to Boyle, Rosario was at her cutest. Seriously she was adorable. I'm an eye man.

Quote:

MiB 3 does justice to the fun and whimsy of the original, and gives you a surprisingly emotional insight into the characters - it travelled back in time to save this franchise from dying.

reviewer agrees with RT overall rating 90 % of the time.

Most of the big names haven't spoken up though. I imagine most are going to fall on the side of Empire's take.

johnsmith · (05-22-2012, 02:01 AM)

They got a 44 year old man to play Tommy Lee Jones in his 20s. Seriously?
