60 of 203 · most liked firstMonths after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, I was having lunch in NYC and the next table over an older guy was AGGRIEVED. “Men In Black was my favorite movie. My all time favorite! And — *long, dramatic pause* — I’ll never be able to watch it again.” I crack up every time I think about it.

positive · AI labelView post →we need to bring back the art of the movie theme song. Ghostbusters. Men in Black. where is the Nosferatu banger, is what I’m asking
neutral · AI labelView post →In the first Men in Black movie Agent K says the organization is funded by patents on alien technology which means the Men in Black canonically include a team of patent lawyers and that would make a great spin-off.
neutral · AI labelView post →Men in Black is a movie about how if you're an NYPD officer who actually and energetically pursues their subject, you're a complete outlier who deserves an invitation to a special organization that gets to hang out with aliens all day
neutral · AI labelView post →with RFK’s backing Trump has finally secured the crucial voting bloc of guys who live in blue cities and look like they could be cast as secret aliens in a Men in Black movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Mello Yello Unidentified Fizzy Object (2019-2019): A bright green, super sour, citrus-flavored soda. It was available ONLY in Freestyle machines at Zaxby's restaurants, released as promotional tie-in for the film "Men in Black: International"
neutral · AI labelView post →Very interesting that Men in Black II, a film about a government agency tasked with protecting us from evil aliens (who are explicitly as part of the joke coded as immigrants), came out the year before they launched ICE. feels like there should be more conspiracy theories about that

neutral · AI labelView post →A new ‘MEN IN BLACK’ film is in the works. Will Smith is being eyed to return with his character written into the script in the hope that he signs on (Source: Deadline)
neutral · AI labelView post →Every single movie got a cartoon show. Not even animated movies. Men in Black got a cartoon. Evolution, the 2001 creature feature action comedy, got a cartoon. Hand drawn too. They were more often than not absolute dogwater but they got made.
neutral · AI labelView post →A new 'Men in Black' film is in the works • Will Smith is being eyed to return — he won't commit to anything until reading a script • It's being written by the 'Bad Boys For Life' writer Chris Bremner (via Deadline)
neutral · AI labelView post →Men in Black and Godzilla: The Series was a late 90's one-two punch for me of "I liked the movie, but I LOVED the cartoon."
positive · AI labelView post →Ain’t no way you get to lecture us about health when every time we see you you look more and more like how Vincent D’Onofrio’s character Edgar in Men In Black was looking deeper and deeper into the film.
neutral · AI labelView post →soundtrack in this Taco Bell is novelty movie songs from the 90s; already heard “Wild Wild West” and “Men in Black” from Will Smith, now we’ve moved on to “Space Jam” and maybe I should order some more tacos or something
neutral · AI labelView post →This line from the first Men in Black film is such sharp insight, I think about it a lot It's just a film, AND YET We love to think of ourselves as higher, intelligent beings who employ logic to guide our actions, but we absolutely are not
neutral · AI labelView post →I think about that scene in the first Men in Black movie where Kay is showing Jay this super tiny disc and says something like "this is gonna replace cds soon" we went from cds to digital, to streaming then back up vinyl.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm rewatching the 1st "Men in Black" movie. In the middle of a light, fun film, Vincent D'onofrio's physical performance as the bug is astounding and terrifying.
positive · AI labelView post →INS overreach against unauthorized immigration was literally a plot point in the original Men In Black movie
neutral · AI labelView post →One of my biggest problematic faves is Men In Black. I love that movie to death but hoo boy the politics are baaaad.
neutral · AI labelView post →Hihihi. Kid and Mommy are watching Men in Black show. Karls did not know @gonzo.bsky.social was movie star.
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching Men In Black, this movie actually has astounding acting. "Yeah Megan the cast is stacked" yeah but they aren't phoning it in like it's a nothing movie Like with K first meets J and asks "did he say when" about the world ending. Real concern in the eyes
positive · AI labelView post →Men in Black is on and this movie has aged remarkably well. And D’Onofrio as Edgar is one of those elite unrecognized (by industry standards) performances of the 90s like Kilmer in Tombstone.
positive · AI labelView post →In that classic movie (😉) Men in Black, Tommy Lee Jones actually said something rather profound. “A person is smart. People are stupid.”
neutral · AI labelView post →It doesn’t get mentioned as a Halloween movie very often, but Men In Black is an annual October viewing for me, and it holds up really well. “Edgar, your skin’s hangin’ off your bones.”
positive · AI labelView post →I feel like Pete Davidson would be an alien if they made a new Men in Black movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Curtis Sliwa and the first Men in Black movie are our last cultural artifacts of pre-Giuliani New York.
neutral · AI labelView post →5 minutes into Men In Black in the theater as a 10 year old: this is a cool movie! 5 minutes into Men In Black on my couch as a 38 year old: This is a cool movie!
positive · AI labelView post →D’Onofrio is a treasure. Very underrated. His performance in Men in Black makes the whole movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →There's only one Men In Black film that's actually good, but there are four that has good aliens.
neutral · AI labelView post →For my money, Tommy Lee Jones' "just imagine what you'll know tomorrow," speech in Men In Black is the most hopeful speech in all film.
positive · AI labelView post →I was about to ask Ruze if we could make a fourth Men in Black movie and then I remembered…. I remembered….
neutral · AI labelView post →Comics to Films 📚=🎞️ The Men in Black (1990) by Lowell Cunningham & Sandy Carruthers was adapted to film in 1997. A rousing comedy element is added to the film. The film discards the paranormal threats to focus on aliens. Comparatively the comic is darker than the upbeat film. 🕶️👽⬛ #booksky #filmsky

positive · AI labelView post →Let's play a game! He is an evil hateful being with a gravelly voice who wants to destroy a group of people. His face looks loose and rubbery, like it doesn't quite fit properly on his skull anymore. He has had a bug in his brain. Am I talking about RFK Jr. or Edgar from the film MEN IN BLACK?
neutral · AI labelView post →Not me. But my dad. He watched Men in Black with no context. He thought is was a spy film until Tommy Lee Jones cut an alien out of his human disguise. Absolutely hilarious reaction.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ghostbusters, Tremors, Men In Black and Galaxy Quest are all great examples of the same genre of movie
