The written test was intentionally poorly positioned. The military didnt ask questions, and just dealt with the poorly positioned chairs. J asked questions (somwthing very necessary when dealing with a diverse amount of immegrants wirh their own cultures and habits). And was creative enough to solve an issue by dragging the table over. Finally during the shooting test he only shot 1 after looking at the entire room first.

One of the sequel materials actually went into this highly-dangerous alien brood queen that actively disguises itself as a little girl, so in a lore sense J actually made the right call by the MIB

[@EyePierce]

20:28 "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals." This was/is my favorite line of the movie.

[@wilerman]

I still think of this line on occasion

[@pyronuke4768]

30:36 I fully believe that the reason old movies hold up as well as they do is because they were limited in what CGI could accomplish and they had to know how to work with the limitations to make it look good. The 90's/2000's was also the time when practical effects were at their best and CGI was starting to look more believable. Nowadays it's all "yeah, do whatever, we'll just fix it in post..." not to mention all the allogations that studios give their effects teams unrealistic deadlines and budgets now.

[@LiMe251]

So... old movies are good because they were similar to tokusatsu?

“He got stabbed in the neck, why is he hurt.” I always assumed when he got stabbed in the neck, it cut off the main power in the machine and the supplies that allow him to breath. Like he needs the machine to also breath in Earth’s atmosphere.

Probably not because we also see a stab hole in the prince's neck, or maybe it's just his anatomy. interestingly it's in the same place that his human body was stabbed.

Will Smith’s name is mentioned in connection with attending Diddy’s parties, there are no specific allegations or evidence that implicate him in any criminal or unethical behavior though

[@mobiusflammel9372]

That’s one of the areas where it gets tricky when you have a major figure like Diddy with this kind of fallout. They know, have taken pictures with, and have had events with everyone. We don’t know who actually did what yet, that takes time. But the association alone isn’t guilt.

[@thomasthigpen2976]

Exactly this. Plus it's like the whole Stephen Hawkins debacle. Just because he was there or knows that person doesn't mean they are involved in or with the criminal activities. Alot of people know Sean combs. I don't see Eminem name there or being thrown around. How much you want to bet he's in those "files" just because he knows diddy

[@VintheBandit]

@@thomasthigpen2976apparently he sold willow and Jaden to diddy, said by willow

[@kblixt]

There were some pics from Diddy’s parties that got people talking, and both guys have been known to mentor young artists. Plus, Will’s son Jaden has been spotted chilling with Diddy, which got the rumor mill going even more. It’s just a bunch of people online making stuff up and others running with it. You know how it goes - celebs can’t sneeze without someone coming up with some crazy story. It’s a perfect example of how social media can turn a whole lot of nothing into something that sounds scandalous.

[@dww7094]

From what i understand, the viral video saying those celebs had arrest warrants out has no real sources or basis in fact. BUT i wouldnt doubt at some point, if they actually go after the people they find were at those 'parties' instead of just sweeping it under the rug because Money, there would be some popular household names in there And also, just like with the epstein stuff, sometimes names come out with no context and you don't know exactly why they were there, whether they were clients or because they were one of the many victims

Yeah. A shit load of big names were in the Epstein files but almost all of it was generic buisness.

19:20 the book/comic apparently confirmed J was right here: It was a test to make sure MIB candidates think outside the box and don't jump to assumptions, both because aliens aren't nessacarily a threat just because they look scary, and because they can disguise themselves. Tiffany was the actual "bad guy" here. Note that I haven't read it myself, but this is widely stated online, and I have seen people quote some of the lines before from the book about this.

[@GoobiesFunZone]

The explanation for the change, which was originally said to be mandatory, was that these plates were easier for police (and the cameras mounted on many police cars) to read. But we all know that it was a cash grab

[@eviljbrian]

and if I recall, New York had yellow plates back in the early 80's, then went to a Statue of Liberty plate in the late 80's for at least a couple of years. I'm going off of Ghostbusters for this, since Ecto-1 had the yellow plates with blue lettering, and Ecto 1-A had the white Statue of Liberty plates.

This is one of my favorite movies ever because i remember being like 2 or 3 years old and i would have my mom play it over and over on repeat all day, not kidding. The aliens ALL look so good, it even holds up 20 years later. I love how theres tons of different alien species and its not just one kind. Will smith and tommy jones have that magical chemistry and dynamic of jaded master with a heart of gold and young, promising, hothead apprentice down perfectly. The music is great and its all just plain fun. Also, in reference to what boom says at 43:50 i was a toddler who would go around the house repeating the "dont start nothing there wont be nothin" line

So for those who haven't heard it here's the FULL Version of K's joke: a man and a woman decided to take in a movie one night, and it just so happens that on that same night a farmer has decided to sneak in one of his roosters from his farm. After getting their snacks the couple head into the darkened auditorium, which is nearly full. there are only two seats left, and they happen to be next to the farmer and the rooster which he has concealed in his pants. Midway through the movie the rooster pokes his head out of the farmer's zipper and begins to peck and eat the woman's popcorn, she notices and nudges her husband; "Honey, look what this guy's cock is doing!" Her husband replies; "Ah, don't pay it no mind, if you've seen one you've seen 'em all!" So she looks over at her husband and says; " Yeah, but Honey this one's eating my popcorn!'
