      Two is kinda lame. The ending was re-written as a result of the 9/11 attacks, which isn't much of a spoiler. I blame al Qaeda. But MiB 3 more than makes up for it. It's kinda like the original Indiana Jones trilogy that way. Weak middle but solid beginning and ending films.

      Vincent D'Onofrio, who played the bug, is so underrated although he has had some quite notable roles over the years. I highly recommend the movie Dying Young where he and Campbell Scott play possible love interests of Julia Roberts'. It's an amazing story though tissues will be needed.

      Since Veronique enjoyed Tommy Lee Jones here, she definitely needs to watch this movie. There is a reason he earned an Oscar for that movie. And it‘s even more impressive when you know that he and the other Marshalls made up most of their dialog, because the script wasn‘t finished.

      Full Metal Jacket - put on enough weight to become a "disgusting lard body"
      MIB - leg braces, studied insects
      The Cell, Kingpin in Daredevil, Adventures in Babysitting, Sherlock, Mr Wonderful, Equalizer Miami Vice

    It's also interesting how many reactors don't realize what all the tests are, what is and is not a test, or that the tests are all about thinking critically, creatively, and independently.

    The first appearance I remember of the Men in Black was on an episode of The X-Files called Jose Chung's "From Outer Space". The agents were played by the late Alex Trebek of Jeopardy fame, and Jesse "the Body" Venture (who might have still been wrestling at the time - before he became governor). The weird thing is that I recall them playing themselves who happened to have the famous side-jobs.

    Before you give up on Will Smith, check him out in something more dramatic. I, Robot (2004) isn't bad if you want some science fiction. I Am Legend (2007) is pretty good for science fiction/horror. He's also done some really heavy dramatic stuff with The Pursuit of Happyness (2006) and Seven Pounds (2008). My favorite Will Smith film is Enemy of the State (1998), a conspiracy thriller with Gene Hackman.

    Also you said you like reading the movie tidbits, so mine for this one is the MiB were a real thing in the 70s and 80s, at least in the U.S.
    They were reported as always traveling in pairs, wearing the suit and the shades, being really weird, really tall, very similar to each other in build and countenance, and possibly somewhat alien-like in appearance and behavior. They were believed to show up to talk to people who reported UFO sightings or encounters, having crazy-sounding excuses for whom they worked for and the purpose of their visit, and being nonviolent, though occasionally dropping warnings about what people should or shouldn't talk about. But they were more interested in the physical evidence.
    An atypical proportion of cases where they showed up involved "missing time" in the memories of a witness.
    While they claimed to be working for human intelligence and didn't overtly claim to be alien, it was widely believed in the ufology community that the MiB were either nonhuman or were working for nonhumans. Some believed they were hybrids; some said they were wearing "human suits" as disguises, and that this accounted for their bizarre appearance, behavior, and personality. They also had extensive knowledge of unknown or nonhuman technologies or methods, a fact they seemed uniquely unconcerned about letting witnesses know.
    IIRC, some of the earliest reports of MiB visits date to the 60s or possibly even the 50s.

    It is hard to find a science fiction movie that is this funny. I consider this Will Smith's best movie. Tommy Lee Jones is a great actor. He is in the Coen brothers movie "No Country for Old Men" --a much darker movie than "Trie Grit".

      The tragic events in Baltimore yesterday reminded me of a movie that might interest you at some point. "The Mothman Prophesies". It stars Richard Gere and Laura Linney and is based on a true event that happened in West Virginia in the 1960s. There were sighting of a strange creature just before a major bridge collapse. The movie is a combination of sci-fi, mystery and ghost story. I've been to the place where it took place. There is even a museum there. Like you don't have enough movie suggestions. LOL

    I can totally see not being into Will Smith's comedy here. He's such a good actor too, it would have been interesting to see how this movie turned out if they had made J a little more straightforward even!

      The Fugitive is incredible, one of the best and most memorable movies I've watched in the last few years. I'd also like to add Double Jeopardy to the list for Tommy Lee.
      And for Ford, Air Force One is pretty killer too. Not one of HIS best roles, per se, but the film is just fantastic, suspenseful R rated fun. It's a film that respects the maturity of its audience and didn't baby-up its content to get a lighter rating.

    Tommy Lee Jones has been in 65 movies since 1970, and at the time of Men in Black's release was by far the bigger of the two stars, though Mr. Smith was already hugely popular. Mr. Jones had been in 17 movies during the preceding decade almost all of them as the star or co-star. Of the 65 movies he has appeared in a small selection are; "Coal Miner's Daughter" (1980), "The Fugitive" (1993), "The Client" (1994), "Cobb" (1994), "Volcano" (1997), "Under Siege" (1992), "Double Jeopardy" (1999), "The Hunted" (2003), "Man of the House" (2005), "No Country for Old Men" (2007), "In the Valley of Elah (2007), and "Ad Astra" (2019).
    Outside of movies Mr. Jones has appeared in 18 TV production, series, mini-series, and films, as well as on Broadway 4 times.
