"A person is smart... People are dumb panicky animals." One of my all-time favorite quotes.
Always stuck with me.
"dumb, panicky dangerous animals" - We clearly saw this illustrated in early/mid 2020, where we witnessed, supposedly civilized, people breaking out into actual fist-fights in stores over... Toilet paper.
we all saw that first hand in the past 2-3 years
Reminiscent of “madness is rare in individuals but the rule in crowds” -Friedrich Nietzsche shortly before going mad himself
@@lucasmelee We are seeing it first hand today and everyday
I gotta say, the guy who plays Edgar played his role AMAZINGLY well - throughout the whole movie, I 100% believed that he wasn't human and was a giant alien bug shoved in human skin. Most of that was just from good acting and practical effects, with minimal CGI. Bravo!!
You mean Vincent D'Onofrio? How do you not know his name??? Great actor, but at least know his name. lol
This guy is messing with you, his name is Gomer Pyle.
His current name is Wilson Fisk.
He won Best Supporting Actor at the Saturn Awards (sci-fi awards show) for MiB
Yeah, superb acting, he really convinced me.
The thing with the little girl is, her holding the Quantum Physics books, is ACTUALLY a huge tell that something is wrong. It mirrors how K picked out Mikey in the truck full of Spanish-speaking foreigners. The alien was just mimicking what it thought would hide it without any knowledge or context; similarly, an alien disguising itself as a little girl carrying books that no child would have, in the middle of the night, all by herself in the ghetto is something that it WOULD conceivably do.
i love the little thing everybody misses where J is drinking the awful lemonade, its horrible because the bug took all the sugar, so it was just sour lemonade
I know it gets thrown around a lot, but this is my favorite movie and I never noticed that. My mind is blown
Lol i have seen this movie at least 20 times and I can't say I ever thought of that either
Never made that connection. Good catch!
Interesting thought. I just figured she was shit at making lemonade. After all Edgar's bitching about her cooking when we first meet them. Haha
Dude I never realized that about the lemonade missing sugar 😂 and I must’ve watch this movie over a dozen times on a slow weekend
Regarding K neuralyzing J after they leave the pawn shop: K has to be sure J can handle the information. He got to do a test run with him in the field, after which J can move on to the next step of the “interview process”. But only once a prospect is going to be offered the job can they retain the knowledge.
As well as them having to acknowledge that J may not show up to the interview. In that scenario, they couldn't let him have the memories of what he saw.
@@aceldamia9114 exactly. You can't just let him wander around after that.
Though they only *really* get to keep the knowledge after they accepted the job, see the "eye test". You only get to retain the *offer*, not anything before that.
Of course, you can deneu… oops, sorry, almost spoiled a (minor) point of the sequel. :D
Also, Zappy is time based. Don’t want to erase his other interactions between field test and interview, in case he failed.
He needs to see J's natural instincts in the interview.
10:52 "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
I've always loved that line and these past few years, it's never been truer.
You mean democrats?
Trump supporters are walking Idiocracy.
@@erikjohnson3859in the last week Biden traded the merchant of death for a whiny unpatriotic basketball player I am apolitical and think both sides are very flawed but recently I’ve seen the left drop the ball more often than the right
That's what covid masks were for, to prevent panic even though it was a useless article of protection, for controlling the masses
10:02 Actually he's right. He's the only one who didn't just shoot aliens because they were aliens or because they looked like monsters. He applied a lot more analytical thinking than everyone else there. Which I think was the test. His conclusion may or may not have been bs, but the rest of them just shot a bunch of potentially innocent aliens because they looked scary.
Shoot the little girl... because she is smart and lives in a bad neighbourhood.
His conclusion was correct, as confirmed by the film novelization
@@TheKyrix82 Also confirmed by the actual movie. Cause Zed had an impressed smile when he gave his reasoning.
I honestly thought it was a BS excuse but he showed restraint to not shoot at anything and everything.
But about 90% of their job when interacting with civilians, they need to improvise and BS to a plausible story, so I took it as "Ok, this guy can think on his feet"
Plus Zed's backhanded compliment of Government training
My theory with the tests was always that he failed all of them as presented, but passed them in unexpected ways.
Before the written test, he calls out Z's non-explanation of why they're there.
During the written test, he is the only one who uses the environment to his advantage.
During the shooting test he shows restraint and good accuracy.
After the shooting test, he demonstrates an eye for details, as well as an ability to come up with a semi-plausible story on the fly (important for using the neuraliser).
Vincent D’Onofrio 1000% deserved an Oscar nomination for his performance in this and he probably should have won.
@@andreshernandez1180 yes it is
@@andreshernandez1180 Yes 💫💕
@@andreshernandez1180 Yes
Research shows the known aliens are:
Steven Spielberg, Tony Robbins, Chloe Sonnenfeld (director's daughter)
Newt Gingrich, Sylvester Stallone, Al Roker, George Lucas
Isaac Mizrahi, Danny DeVito, Dionne Warwick
"Do I look NORMAL to you?"
Danny Devito, "Twins"
I loved the physical acting of Edgar the Bug, especially when he was in the van outside the jewelry store, trying to 'act natural.'
He really sells the character.
Yes, it was well played by Vincent D'Onofrio.
Fun little prop fact, when Will was stepping on the roaches he was actually stepping on mustard packets.
Vincent D’Onofrio is absolutely amazing in this film. I’ve probably seen MIB dozens of times and I’m still always blown away by the physicality in his role of Edgar.
I got six-pack abs at age 10, from laughing at Edgar's acting.
@@bcn1gh7h4wk 🤔 your comment only brings the word stupid to mind.
@@ltme4134 that must be a very limited mind, if that's the only word it can think of.
Never knew it was Vincent D'Onofrio until today. Watched Men in Black when it came out so I was 13 years old and Edgar was so so good and creepy. Evas a teen I thought it looked so cool.
Hadn't seen the movie in at least a decade and I'm kinda blown away how well this holds up. Also pretty funny still.
According to D'Onofrio; he channeled Edgar's movements for Kingpin in Daredevil, as Kingpin "tries" to be Human or have a shred of humanity
The little "De-Atomizer" handgun that K has in this movie is one of my favorite sci-fi weapons. Because in the behind the scenes for the movie they really did their homework for that weapon.
Its a miniature microwave radiation focuser. If you look whenever its fired, there is no flash or laser because radiation is invisible!
Its also why aliens "pop" when being shot by it, because they are being hit by the equivalent of being trapped in a microwave for too long...I can only imagine what it does to humans 😬
You can see what happens in the first Kick Ass film 😃
By the way, the dog loved it. Performing dogs are trained not only to obey commands, but also to like certain actions in order to get them to provide material for the editor. (Although it works, it does produce a lot of tail-wagging that then has to be dealt with. Thus all the pre-CGI happiness displayed by "murderous wolves" who were having a really fun time.) The pug in this sequence loves to be grabbed and shaken around, and the shots were intercut with Jones looking very angry, so the shaking could go on for a while without giving away the fact that the dog isn't hurt or upset at all.
Just because this distrubed me I looked it up, most of the violent shaking was cgi and a stuffed dog, but there was a real pug he only shook a little bit and they gave him a treat after every shake so he's associating being shaken with happy treats. There's a moment in the scene where Tommy Lee breaks character because he plays with the dog off camera and they didn't fully cut it
I remember when the movie was being made... Entertainment Tonight had a news piece saying something along the lines of 'animal abuse on the set?' with footage showing the dog being shook with the film crew filming, and at the time when i saw it i was like 'why the hell are they letting them do that'... but yeah, wasnt as bad as it looked, but it did kinda sour me to the film prior to seeing it back in the day lol.
I loved the original when it came out. Super out there concept and super funny at the time, but surprisingly still holds up well after a few decades.
They made a pretty good animated series too.
@@Avenger85438 Never saw that. I’ll have to check that out.
@@mojoshivers Here's the intro. ua-cam.com/video/6Rfd_8dPLYw/v-deo.html
@@Avenger85438 Wow, it’s very Aeon Flux in design for the characters.
@@mojoshivers Could have been the same studio.
The thing about why he shot Tiffany is *actually* The right answer. It goes to show that he's once again, thinking outside of the box. In an area where everyone else was normal, or had normal reasons to be there, she was quite literally the odd one out and highly likely the most dangerous one so J's reasoning is correct.
It also shows he has no biases, he's not going to mindless shoot at an alien for looking scary, but actually assesses the situation first.
The first film is genuinely amazing, second feels like a parody that had a lot more budget but looks incredibly cheap, and the third one was almost as good as the first but by the time it came out nobody cared about the series
Yeah, the 1st & 3rd were pretty great. The 2nd was alright, just not quite to the level of the other 2
Men in Black reminds me a lot of (the 80s) Ghostbusters. Even when the 2nd film isn't as good, the concept is so fun that its hard not to enjoy.
I like how we all agree that the series ends at 3 and International never existed.
@@The3nd187 Never seen it, and likely never will. Quite like the cast but without it having MIB in the title, you wouldn’t know it was an MIB film.
I agree that 1 and 3 are both great. I think 2 was good but not as good as 1 and 3. And what's this "mib international" you speak of? 3 is the last one. ;)
Fun fact, the alien guy at the beginning of this movie that Will Smith was chasing is actually my friends uncle.
Oh nice
The dying alien in the cockpit of the mansuit was not CGI! It was an actual moving model. It's why it looks so good even today.
Good practical effects are timeless
*Aliens:* Say "sorry" once.
*George:* "Oh god they're Canadian!"
"MIB: Deliver the galaxy or earth will be destroyed...buddy."
@johnnythewalrus "Aliens, we are not your buddy, fwiend"
i like how David Cross dies in this movie but the second MIB hes alive living with his mom lmao
What a great, fun movie! This is one I could watch over and over, and Vincent D'Onofrio was, as usual, amazing!
"Enemy of the State" (1998) is one of Will Smith's best movies. Gets to star in a movie with the legendary Gene Hackman.
When that movie came out, I saw an interview with a former government "spook" type about the surveillance technology portrayed in the movie. He said what the movie showed is two to three generations behind what the government currently has.
Highly underrated movie.
I remember when the X-Files referenced this movie. Mulder was in a hearing, and they asked him if his story wasn’t something he saw in Men in Black. He paused and said, “I never saw Men in Black”. And the inquest replied: “Too bad. It was a damn good movie”. I AGREE! This is definitely one of my favorite movies. 🔥
I'd like they reacted too to the first X-Files film (in case they haven't seen it)... They would love trying to figure out what's going on in all that universe.
It was also referenced by Doggett in season 9 episode Jump the Shark.
@@peterlenham3180
Ah yes… “Jump the shark”. I wonder how many people younger than 40 even understand that reference. It’s a reference to the “Happy Days” episode where the Fonz jumped a shark on his motorcycle. It is credited with ruining the show. Hence anything that ruins a TV show is called ‘jumping the shark’. 👍
"There's ALWAYS an Arquillian Battle Cruiser......"
This is a powerful sentiment to live by, and the thought I keep in mind, after all the bs of the last few years.
My favorite movie quote ever.
Think you can save time by turning the page to "Ignorance is bliss"
He also mentions a Corellian which is from Star Wars.
What do mean by "bs of the last few years?"
@@erikjohnson3859 2024 is an election year. What are the odds that another one of those immigrant caravan starts making its way towards the United States around August or September?
The table scraping across the floor is one of my favourite bits of physical comedy in any movie
10:49 "But why- why the big _secret?_ People are _smart._ The can _handle_ it."
"The _person_ is smart. _People_ are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you _know_ it."
Sterling words of wisdom I did _not expect_ when I saw the _trailers_ for this movie.
Great Performances By Will Smith & Tommy Lee Jones In This Classic Film, Cool Reaction As Always Simone & George, You Both Take Care
Vincent D’Onofrio is such a genius actor, his performance in the Edgar costume is outstanding.
18:03 - Linda Fiorentino does indeed have a sultry voice. She deserved better recognition, especially for her lead role in the brilliant but underrated thriller 'The Last Seduction'. That's a film worth reacting to.
I always thought it was a shame that she wasn't in any of the sequels, because I loved that character. Fiorentino had a reputation at the time for being "difficult to work with", which I took at face value, but now I wonder if that was code for "Wouldn't sleep with Harvey Weinstein".
Gotta see her in Gotcha! with Anthony Edwards (Top Gun's Goose).... unless you're still a weirgin 😀
This movie and dogma led to me having a huge crush on her for most of my teenage years, despite the fact that she's (as I just found out when I looked her up on IMDb again) 25 years older than me.
@@dougallen9689 Dogma! Now there's a film to react to
@@Johnny_Socko Kevin Smith is a very laid back dude with reputation for being a director actors like working with but by the end of filming Dogma with her, even he wished he'd cast Janeane Garofalo in the lead role instead.
This first movie was gold. The sequels are just ok. Some laughs but never close to the first. Will Smith in his prime was hysterical in a natural way. Instant classic.
The guy that played Edgar, the bug, was also Gomer Pyle in Full Metal Jacket.
he's also in law and order CI
2 things I loved about this movie were 1) "We're not hosting an intergalactic kegger here." and Vincent D'Onofrio's performance was excellent.
"Neither actor has had any controversies". I'm guessing this was pre-Oscars... It's kinda hard to believe that the Bug is also Gomer Pyle (Leonard Lawrence) from Full Metal Jacket!
Fun Fact: Edgar's skin suit slowly decomposes throughout the movie!
When Rip Torn died someone pointed out to me that he might be the only person whose surname is the result of the action that is his first name.
Rip Torn (RIP) was a terrific actor, and he was really funny as well. One of the movies you may have seen him in was "Dodgeball," but he's a very long time character actor.
The Beastmaster
They were very careful to comply with animal safety laws making the film. Each roach and bug was carefully accounted for after each shoot. The bug guts at the end from J's shoe was a mustard packet
District 9 would be a great movie for you guys. Especially George might appreciate how original and creative this sci-fi is.
I also liked that movie. Too much for them
@@jasonm8017Mean
"If you're strong enough" Tommy Lee Jones saying that line, gets me every time. It keeps me going when things are bad.
The worms in the break room are speaking Huttese, the same language at the Hutts from Starwars
When I was 10 yrs old watched this movie with my dad, he then said: "maybe aliens are real. We just couldn't meet them yet".
"The only thing that pulls its own weight around here is my goddamn truck!"
Funniest sci-fi joke sequence ever. I don't know if I could have counted the number of times I rewind/repeated this on the old VCR when we repeat-binged this movie as a family.
Eggar and K were the best parts of this movie.
the men in black score is done by danny elfman. the composer who works with tim burton, so it has a vey similar feel to a lot of 80s horror-ish movies. beetlejuice, batman, edward scissor hands, nightmare before christmas, darkman, tales from the crypt...
interestingly he also composes for doctor strange in the multiverse of madness, since sam raimi also worked with elfman in the past.
What I never noticed as a kid in 1997 that I did when rewatching as I got older, the Edgar suit is decomposing the whole time throughout the movie. When he's all stiff and rigid it's like the skin suit is going through rigor mortis.
18:42 'Orion's belt' is not an asteroid belt, it is part of the constellation Orion. The belt is a set of three stars that seem, when seen from Earth, to be close to each other.
The guy who Will Smith was chasing at the beginning is none other that Ray Park, aka Darth Maul.
If you want another good Tommy Lee Jones movie I'd recommend Space Cowboys. It's got a full cast of classic actors such as Clint Eastwood, James Garner and Donald Sutherland. Also you gotta eventually watch the second MiB. I enjoyed it just as much as the first but that's where the series kinda starts to go downhill in my opinion.
@@paulrogers4483 I liked 3 quite a bit honestly but parts of it felt like they lacked the feeling the first two gave me. I saw the first two in theaters though so that could be a major contributor to my thoughts.
Agree excellent movie full of outstanding performances by an outstanding cast.
Firebirds! One of my Fav's
Space Cowboys, yes! A great movie, and a favorite.
Or Double Jeopardy if ya liked Fugitive
Vincent D'Onofrio has been in SO MANY films. Definitely one of my favorite actors.
Also if you’re considering watching the sequels, just watch the next 2 films. Granted, the 2nd film isn’t that good, but the 3rd more than makes up for it.
Almost never the first role, but always amazing
That twist at the end really put the trilogy into perspective.
He was awesome on Law & Order C.I
Yeah, I love 3
Just wanna say that Simone's voice and laugh is the most adorable thing. I would spend 5 hours listen to an ASMR video if you did one hahaha
The soundtrack to this Men in Black movie is fucking remarkable, I legitimately can't play it while I'm driving because I gain a lead foot. 🤣
A great early Tommy Lee Jones performance is in Coal Miner’s Daughter, where he plays Doolittle Lynn, Loretta Lynn’s husband. Both he and Sissy Spacek are fantastic.
I love this movie so much. It's one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time. I loved it ever since I was a kid. MIB is a masterpiece.
Rewatching this, this movie really was amazing. They don’t make movies like this anymore
The title font is the same used for "The Addams Family" and "Addams Family Values," because it was the same directing team that made them.
Rip Torn( who played Zed) name was Elmore Torn jr., the nick name Rip is a family nickname. He's from Texas. While in my first year of college(1967) I saw that this movie, Beach Red, was playing with a person in the cast named Rip Torn. I saw the movie just see who this guy was. He was a very good character actor, died in 2019. He was also in another movie you might find interesting, The Man Who Fell to Earth. Also staring David Bowie.
Interesting trivia: The Men in Black theme sampled from and/or remixed (depends on which website you check) the 1982 song Forget Me Nots by Patrice Rushen.
Also interesting--Vincent D'Onofrio was the hunky mechanic in Adventures in Babysitting (the one Sara thought was Thor).
The joke about the red button has become a bit of a running gag with Tommy Lee Jones. It was used in Captain America
Huh ironoc sonce there was a captain america reference in this film.
The dragonfly is a parallel to the marbles at the end; they're meant to bookend the movie with the message that all our troubles are really insignificant in the grand scheme.
Each test has a motive.
1. When he asked why they were there. Curiosity
2. The written test with no easy way to write. Adaptation
3. The gun range. Objective thinking in stressful situations.
This was such a fun film and great reaction, as always. George mentioned Linda Fiorentino's sultry voice, if you want to see her REALLY get sultry, you should watch her in the film 'The Last Seduction'. A great noir film that's VERY sultry. Probably the second sexiest modern noir film after 'Body Heat'. The same director also did a film called 'Red Rock West' with Nicolas Cage and Dennis Hopper that's great.
One of the things I love about J in hindsight is how much he subverts expectations of the typical Will Smith character. What does he say to K when he joins up? Recognise him for his skill, and don't patronize him. They play it off like a gag, but J, asides from his issues with authority (mostly from working with fat slobs with shitty attitudes like the ones we see) is basically a supercop - he's in peak physical condition, thinks outside the box and shows hints of a photographic or at least exceptionally good memory. Had he never stumbled upon the MIB, he might never have reached his full potential, but he was practically born to do the job.
When K shoots Jeeves head, he instantly reacts, pulling a gun on someone who very clearly outranks him (He showed up, took care of all his issues with his boss, and takes him to work on a case outside of his precinct, while wearing a suit. Most likely he thinks hes CIA or FBI). On him to drop the gun before Jeeves body even hits the ground.
@@Eidlones I mean he did just witness a man blow another guy's head off without any indication of who this supposed person is. Blowing a guy's head off in cold blood is still a crime, whoever is doing it, and J is still a cop. He has no reason not to at that point.
@@radicaladz I know. My point was that he reacts correctly, instantly, without any thought of "this is a superior"
@@Eidlones For sure.
did you notice the pawn shop guy every time his head gets blown off it grows back a little more deformed each time
What not many people don't know Edgar played by Vincent D'Onofrio, was also Private Pyle in the hit movie, Full Metal Jacket. A very good actor.
Oh this movie is a lot of fun. And the amazing practical effects work done by the legendary Rick Baker is just awesome. Many to most of the aliens seen in this movie are done without CGI.
Hope you watch the other two films. MiB 2 has its moments but the 3rd is a great film.
Amen to that. Though, I have a soft spot for 2 since I watched the first two films backwards as a kid.
What do you talking about, the rest of the movies are trash
??? The last two completely sucked.
@@abrahamdiaz3648 The joy of opinions. Everyone is allowed to have them and you don't have to agree with them.
I haven't seen this since I was a kid and never realized Edgar was played by Vincent D'Onofrio. Crazy.
One scene that never fails to make me laugh is "Edgar"(now the Bug)hitting the wrong way on the screen door, grunting and then opening it.
My favorite exchange in the movie occurs when K is explaining the situation to J on the park bench and tells him that most of the aliens are decent folks just trying to make a living.
J: Cab drivers.
K: Not as many as you'd think.
Brilliant.
Excellent reaction as always, I keep on underestimating just how good a movie this is. Definitely recommend 2 and 3 - MiB 2 has some issues but is still plenty fun, and 3 is highly underrated. Last year's MiB International don't bother with.
Movies to see based on the actors in this movie:
Hitch - Will Smith
U.S. Marshals - Tommy Lee Jones (I've suggested this to you guys before)
The Cell - Vincent D'Onofrio
Dogma - Linda Fiorentino
Dodgeball - Rip Torn
BTW, the 1968 migration k was talking about was woodstock.
I saw this when I was a kid in the theater, first run, and it was incredible on the big screen. The 90s was a great time to be a kid. Definitely go experience it on the big screen if there’s ever an opportunity.
I highly recommend the Kevin Smith movie Dogma. It's hilarious.
For Simone asking if that's a real structure, that's the site of the Unisphere and the ships were the New York State Pavilion featured in the 1964 World's Fair. It's located in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens, New York (NYC)
Linda Florentino - - now that you have been introduced to her, you need to see her in "Vision Quest" and "Gotcha!" (Personally, I like "Gotcha!" because it came out when I was stationed in Germany, so it has some sentimental value to me.)
He was testing his intestinal fortitude for dealing with aliens. He wanted to see his reaction when he shot an alien in the head. He handled it well, so he wiped his memory and invited him to the recruiting interview.
I love all the MiB Movies, even the new ones. They are just so much fun. Thanks for watching them. Yes, you hire Tommy Lee Jones to be Tommy Lee Jones. It is rare to see him not being that character in every movie he is in, and it's a cool character.
The MAKEUP - stellar. Rick Baker is ridiculously talented. He did An American Werewolf in London (where the Oscars category for FX makeup began), basically all other John Landis films, Thriller, The Ring, RDJ in Tropic Thunder .... Love it. But Vincent can definitely transform in a role, too.
Rip Torn shares the top spot for best name ever, alongside Deep Roy.
"Hire a decorator to come in here quick cuz, damn." Is the best line of the movie or at least tied with Bleeleck and Bob.
the first time I saw a trailer for this movie in the 90's, I had just finished reading a novel regarding aliens on Earth, and the Men in Black was involved (and honestly, I had never heard of the theory of the Men in Black until then!)
Vincent D'onofrio did a FANTASTIC job as Edgar/Cockroach Alien. The way he acted the part makes you think that he really thought about how his movements must have felt really uncomfortable and unnatural as an alien, walking in the skin of a man. He is the standout actor in this movie, by far.
D'Onofrio deserved an Oscar just for his body-horror/comedy. Whist sure the makeup and sfx played a role, a lot of that was just him. You want to talk about underrated actors?
The alien in "the edgar suit" is played by Vincent D'Onofrio, who is a pretty legendary actor (e.g. Full Metal Jacket, Kingpin in the Daredevil series, and much more), but this may be one of his best performances ever! And as you note, the makeup is excellent
Hope you all do the rest of the series. They're all awesome!
Also, you should look at Altered Carbon and Arcane.
You guys have to watch us marshals the sequel to the fugitive. It's worth it for the chicken suit alone.
Men In Black will be in theaters in the USA on July 3 & 4th for a special 25th Anniversary showing. Check you local theaters or Fathom Events
Pretty good timing. July 2nd (wide release) is the 25th anniversary of this movie.
Linda Fiorentino is such a babe. That voice and that ... chef's kiss.
Man, the 90s had the hottest actresses. Think of Tea Leoni in Bad Boys. Or Jennifer Connelly in Career Opportunities. Damn.
Excellent reaction video. Love the first film... the second one was fun... the third one was AMAZING (and probably my favorite of this trilogy). MIB: International just didn't work for me. Hope y'all get a chance to watch and enjoy the rest of these
I agree completely. I loved the 3rd one. The 4th was simply meh. Fun, but not as good as the others.
The makeup department won the Oscar for this film, beating out "Titanic" in one of the three categories it lost.
Michael Jackson was approached for a cameo in the "everyone on those screens is an alien" scene but didn't realise it was a joke so took offence by it. When he saw the movie he realised it was a comedy and they weren't being serious so he asked to cameo if they did a sequel
Please watch the STAR TREK movies! 🖖
Okay EEWW now the thumbnail goes too far EWW.
Anyway, Steven Spielberg AND George Lucas are both aliens on the screen thingy.
And since you're never gonna run out of movies to watch: Vincent D'Onofrio's unforgettable breakout role was in Stanley Kubrick's Vietnam war film Full Metal Jacket. Excellent film (and my second favorite war movie), but not the easiest watch emotionally.
Linda "Hello sultry voice" Fiorentino starred in some sultry thrillers in the 90s. I haven't seen The Last Seduction since then but Tarantino was a big fan of the film back in the day. (Might be too spicy for a reaction channel.)
Judging by your reaction, neither of you has seen Casablanca. Even in the 90s, it was still an oft-quoted and -spoofed movie. Lots of reaction channels have done it and loved it. Everyone seems to be surprised by how invested they are in a movie made in 1942. You guys up to the challenge?
Fun fact about Barry Sonnenfeld: he was the Coen brothers' cinematographer before he became a director. His directorial debut, The Addams Family, is a really lovable macabre twist on a cheesy family film.
'Sorry'.
They're Canadians!.
Made me chuckle 😄
Vincent D'Onofrio completely stole this - an extraordinary physical performance. So funny. Another great Barry Sonnenfeld movie. In a similar vein, his Addams Family movies are both well worth watching - the second, "Addams Family Values" is one of those rare beasts where the sequel is better than the original. Hope you give them a go!
The first time I watched, I thought the shooting test was what exactly what it looked like: a test to see if you could evaluate threats and leave the innocent alone.
It didn't occur to me until I saw your reaction it might have been a test to see how quickly you can come up with a cover up out in the field :)
I'd love to see you guys watch all four of these. The second one's not great but there's fun there. 3 is fantastic though, and I'm still really shocked and confused as to why MiB International wasn't well-received because it works shockingly well.
Let's just forget the fourth ever existed and just say there's three shall we?
One detail I like is as the movie goes on, Edgar’s skin suit that he stole from the farmer decays more and more
Glad you appreciated Vincent D'onfrio's performance and the make-up/special effects
