Was he right?
Was he right?
yes and no
Yes that’s why he got the job
>quantum ""physics""
>""relativity""
yes
He was right not to shoot most of the aliens that were minding their own business, but "bitch got text books she tryinna learn shit she gotta die" wasn't justification for lethal enforcement.
Nigger doesn't know what a prodigy is
leave it to incels to somehow make this a point against women two decades after the movie
Yes. He was a dick about it but his logic and observation was all sound.
>Then I figure, he's just working out, you know. I wouldn't want someone coming in the gym and bustin' a cap in my ass while I'm on a treadmill.
This line always cracks me up.
No, but that wasn't the point of the test. He was able to quickly discern something that is different from the rest.
All these anons and only these anons are correct.
>he
>posts a picture of a girl
???
no. You always shoot center of mass, especially when dealing with something with unknown biology
No not really, I think it was more a test too see if they would shoot the aliens without asking any questions. He got the job more on the fact that K wanted him, than that he didnt shoot the aliens.
What?
yes, but you wouldn't be able to get away with this today
>shoting the woman that was trying to learn science
Its only after all this time that I have realized J was a muslim.
I don’t think that was the point of the test, but the fact that he noticed that was part of the reason K pushed to hire him.
He's asking if Will Smith's character was right to shoot the little girl Target in Men in Black, retard.
I mean they purposely put a tissue in the monster target's hand. That he stopped to assess what he was shooting at instead of just firing at every scary looking monster mindlessly was showing more than the other "best of the best" did. They don't need marksmen, they need agents.
Not necessarily, that might have just been a girl that just happened to be holding that book. The whole point was that he didn't instinctively shoot the aliens like everyone else.
imagine if it were 2019 and he shot a little black girl target?
SCCCRRRREEEEAAAAARRRRRRRCCCCGGHHH
YO THIS NIGGA CHASED DOWN A CEPHALAPOID!
Will Smith got the MIB interview in the first place because he chased down an alien disguised as a human. He picks up on the theme of the test.
Regardless, it was a pretty good shot
Well he's among the best of the best of the best.
Was this the test?
Maybe.
The MIB actually wanted someone to move this table but couldnt be bothered themselves, thats why they put up this test
How would a cartoon reboot work?
>when you ask to many questions about smiths connection to scientology
It's tiny but when he immediately breaks his pencil just trying to open the test papers always makes me laugh.
This is pretty much it. Everyone else shot without a second thought. At least J debated about what he was shooting before he did it.
Like Zed sarcastically said later "youre everything we've come to expect from years of Governement training"
MiB >>>> MiB3 >>>> Wild Wild West >>>> Utter shit >>>> MiB2
100%. Look if you live in a city in a shitty part and you see some 10 year old white girl in the middle of an alley the last thing you will ever do is walk down that alley.
Why did Tommy Lee Jones was ok with Will Smith buffoonery but not with Jim Carrey Buffoonery? Was because Jim is canadian?
>tfw when MiB: International is even worse than 2
Don't think he likes slapstick heavy humor.
Who was in the wrong here?
J for touching without asking first, but also the MIB for leaving such a dangerous object out in the open like that.
I dont think the little girl was suppose to get shot but it proved hes observant and can notice minor things that might show someone isnt what they seem. This also showed he wouldn't shoot aliens on sight for simply being "scary" looking. both of these qualities were necessary for an MIB agent, so I dont think the "right" thing to do in that scenario was shoot the little girl but regardless by doing so and explaining his thought process he showed he had the kinds of skills they were looking for.
>Agent M, why did you molest that little boy?
How to immediately identify yourself as underage
Yes, the real purpose of the test is initiative and problem solving
jesus remember watching this on pirate vhs
You have thin paper to write on, a chair with no surfaces, and there's a table in the middle of the room. If you're too afraid of drawing attention to use the obvious solution you're no use to them as an agent.
Hello uncle user!
what did she mean by this
Wild Wild West is an underrated flick. And despite its goofy tone, it’s one of the few movies I’ve seen that seems to get Reconstruction and the Grant administration.
Sugar.
Give me....sugar.
...in water.
I agree with you, it was too big plot hole here.
He showed empathy towards the aliens.
Man in Black aren't soldiers, they are police and immigration agents, their job is to protect humans and aliens, maintaining law and order.
Someone in the comments from the scene on Youtube mentioned that in novelization of the movie, shooting Little Tiffany was the right decision. But I can't confirm, never read it.
The test was literally a shooting test where you shoot aliens and avoid the bystander, but K was really impressed with his ability to think critically and not being afraid to think out of the box. Same with the first written test where he drags the table.
Now, whether that first test was actually about who would pull the table or if it were literally just a written test, that's the real question I have.
The first movie is the only good one.
I liked the third. I didn't like that they used time travel to avoid using TLJ, but otherwise it was a solid fun movie.
Anybody else try sugar water after this to see how it was?
Or rather, it was not a shooting test, just looked like one. All the meatheads just grabbed a gun and started shooting.
>it’s one of the few movies I’ve seen that seems to get Reconstruction and the Grant administration.
>by barely depicting it at all and not depicting it as the US Occupation of Iraq-tier police state rife with incompetence, state sanctioned-murder, and massive corruption
You mean Kool-Aid?
No.
How was it?
It proved he could bullshit his way out of a strange situation.
SHERMAN DO IT AGAIN
Not terrible. Mixing the sugar was the hardest part since I used cold tap water so it kept just collecting at the bottom of the glass and not actually dissolving.
Will Smith’s buffoonery was sanctioned
MOOAH
MOOOARR
But that’s the thing. It actually seems to get that Reconstruction was an incredibly tense time, and that the South was teetering on the brink of turning into Iraq or Belfast, or maybe already was. Most media, regardless of political orientation, seems to think everything was hunky-dory Splash Mountain bull shit the second Appomattox happened.
oh christ the zoomers are here
I really love how that moment when the ball gets into Z's office you can caught a glimpse of his power level. Dude is the meanest motherfucka in MiB.
I don't give a fuck what anyone says, I loved WWW. If nothing else that fucking mecha spider sold me, that thing remains one of the best "monsters" of film
His real name is Rip Torn, you don't fuck with anyone played by that.
The dog owes my friend money.
dumb roastie
>I watched WWW when I was a kid and had no standards so I loved the big CG monster machine and don't realize how embarrassingly unfunny it really is
Ever notice how no one ever
"WE WUZ'd Will Smith in this role and film?
gee its almosy like racism isn't as extreme as people perceive it?
The pencil thing was unplanned and when he looks around he was actually looking at the director to see if he should keep going.
He's pretty much Fresh Prince in every comedy movie he has done.
I get the feeling this was an improv line. It feels like one.
MiB was a comedy? It's been too long but I could have swore it was more action/scifi.
Yes thank god we have you here as the only one to talk about this uninteresting shit.
Action comedy yes
neat
Like this
youtube.com
Is Rush Hour a comedy?
>this joke if done today
>I HATE WHITE MEN
>end of scene
Rip torn is a fucking unit
man this one is old as hell. Reminds me back when we had to noko our threads.
>I'm Deputy Mannheim this is Special Agent BLACK
later at the morgue
>This is Dr. WHITE
>You're the best kept secret in the universe, and I. Found. You.
>which makes me perfect for this job
What did the screenwriters mean by this? How does "finding" Men in Black make you good at galactic immigration?
Why didn't they just wipe her, or better yet wipe me so I can forget this movie and anything but the comic and first film exist.
>white male
Was it Flubber?
TLJ disliked his lines so he just wrote new ones, as a result most of Smith's dialogue is improv to keep up with the new lines.
So is Earth like some kind of Space Switzerland in the MiB universe?
Sounds like he pretty much channeled Samuel Gerard.
youtube.com
>American psycho is for intellectuals
Nice.
Yes, women trying to become smart deserves death.
Sounds about right.
Space US. Mostly a shithole with a couple of nice parts.
Serious answer is that it's a space backwater that allows space refugees to hide there.
Look at these brainlets
He got the job because in all of the tests he went with a solution beyond face value. Dragging the table, looking for what stands out etc.
He was right not to shoot the other aliens but he was wrong to headshot the little girl even if he was right that she's suspicious. At the very least he was more right than anybody else in that test.
There's a reason it takes place in NYC, MiB is basically Ellis Island with guns
Mib helps literal alien invaders. It's a big joke played straight.
They're not invaders though, they're just hanging out.
A PUT MAH HANDS....
ON
UH-MAH HEAD?!
Essentially that was the way Earth managed to protect itself against a universe at large with all manner of alien civilizations and advanced technology. By offering residency to aliens including refugee aliens, Earth kind of gave itself diplomatic immunity. Compared to if had tried to stand up to alien civs independently. So instead they finagled a crafty scheme to avoid conflict while at the same time benefiting from alien presence/tech by giving all manner of aliens a place to stay if they left their problems at the door. Earth stays safe and retains sovereignty in the galaxy as well as getting alien science and tech, for the price of acting as refugee camp basically.
The first movie goes into some detail about this whole setup.
>"A practical joke by the Great Attractor... he thought it was funny as hell."
MiB got the deepest lore?
Still pissed L's character was eliminated.
>killing a white girl because she loves knowledge
Jesus fucking Christ. The elite really do want to dumb down the population.
What lovecraftian horror is this?
I actually find the idea of MiB's universe fascinating. Would make for a great RPG or something or something.
>A galactic standard week is 1 earth hour
fuck me
It's definitely a hell of a lot of fun, really creative way of having a sci-fi aliens setting on modern Earth without it being the other side of the spectrum as an alien invasion type story. MiB, here if there's a weird person, it's probably just an alien trying to fit in.
>what do you think?
>very interesting. She got a real Queen of the Undead thing goin' on.
>of the body.
>great body.
>the DEAD body.
>ever notice how this movie that came out before a meme didn't have the meme applied to it?
No fucking shit.
Isn't the real reason he got the job because of the ending of 3.
That whole beach scene.
there was a 3rd person point and click game but the combat was utterly terrible
That intro is where Kanye got the idea for his music video, right?
The time travel in 3 was a bit wonked, but I assume so?
No, because that film was made 14 years later.
>Was he right?
In the MiB cartoon a dangerous criminal alien actually disguised herself as a girl.
There are some comics that the movie was based on
There's way too long since I read them, but I'm pretty sure they're nothing like the movies. The MiB just go around killing everyone who's seen anything.
Like The Mask, the movie was better
if she can find spooks, then she can find the aliens running from space ica
>If you're too afraid of drawing attention to use the obvious solution you're no use to them as an agent.
If there's any agency that wouldn't want someone who draws attention to themselves it'd be the MiB, though. I agree it was part of the test for initiative, but they sure as hell didn't think of the drawing attention part.
no, if that girl had been an alien "she" was in disguise and wouldn't have violated any kind of law the MiB had imposed on "her" if "she" was legal
Stir it, stupid. Have you never drank Kool-Aid?
>his logic and observation was all sound.
basically this
No you moron.
The job involves keeping your cool around random fucked up aliens. He demonstrated he can see beyond the surface level and that he can think in odd ways - perfect traits for an MIB agent. Remember that they didn't tell the candidates anything, just started the simulation. Everyone else shoots at all the aliens. He keeps his cool, analyses the situation, and shoots the thing that is actually out of place against everything else; the girl.
delete
i didnt get that impression that the table had any kind of meaning to MiB. it was to show that J wasnt straightjacketed by the system
I always got the vibe that he did it intentionally to stand out. Like he sees how all the other guys are "THE BEST OF THE BEST" and probably have incredible resumes, compared to him just being a good cop.
So fuck it, how are you going to compete with all of them other than to try and intentionally do something different that will get you noticed? Hence why he looks around at the aliens, but then especially it shows him looking at the other recruits and he's like "Aw fuck, these dudes are all fucking pros... fuck it, I'll just shoot the kid otherwise I'll never stand out". Only after the fact, was it that he had the wit to come up with some justification on the spot.
I don't mean draw attention as in loudly, I mean there was an obvious solution and he was the only one with the balls to use it.
>Tfw the cartoon series was far better than the second and third film
Also had one of the greatest intros of all time
my one complaint is they didn't sound anything like TLJ or Will Smith
Pretty sure I had sugar water as a kid long before I saw this movie. I have no idea why I was stuck drinking fucking sugar water. We weren't THAT poor.
i did carbonated sugar water
>sugar water
you mean soda?
>That whole beach scene.
Soda has A.) bubbles, and 2.) some taste other than sugar.
there's definitely an element of J not taking the situation seriously but the undertones of military personnel used to using violence to solve their problems vs. a cop trying to serve their community and not too subtle racial undertones with a bunch of different colored aliens and the little white girl.
>muh nu-strawman
hahahaha
I'm not laughing at this user, I'm laughing with him at all the people that replied to him and fell for the bait. Fucking idiots
lad
Brolin did a top notch TLJ impression, though.
rent free
So this is why those films aren't memorable.
S-SHUT UP DEM SOUTHERN BOIS DINDU NUFFIN
This intro and Extreme Ghostbusters intro are pure kino. youtu.be
that fucking filename
?implying they were little boys and not hideous undercover alien killing machines who can only be killed by an injection of semen
No he didn't you absolute retard. He got the job because K had already decided he was going to get the job. He completely failed every test by showing how much he disrespects authority.
He reasoned that he would murder a little girl for carrying books his smooth black brain can't understand
It seemed like some quick BS he made up, because in all honesty he shouldn't have fired a shot at all even with his reasoning. Books above a little girls level is weird but not worth being shot over. At the very least his reasoning was good and he did not instantly shoot scary alien, which would be one of the biggest requirements for the job.
The test were simply bullshit to evaluate J though
But what if she was just visiting her big brother who's living in the bad side of town because he has been estranged from his family so she bought the books needed for his next year's curriculum to surprise him?
Why don't movies have fun creative hazing anymore?
Didn't realize until recently that Ed ate all the sugar which resulted in J saying the woman's lemonade was terrible.
You're the reason why movies have to hold viewers' hands to guide regarding basic points.
feel like they should have warned him a little about that gun, he could have fired it at close range not knowing how big a blast it would make
I assume that was the joke, how new recruits would always want the big guns
Size doesn't matter okay?
I get the rib, but he could have badly hurt someone
>a criple, black guy, womanlet and hipster
why didnt Hollywood adapted this instead of female ghostbusters?
Even better. He was alt-right.
Im honestly amazed that you were able to solve a captcha
Actually laughing at you
so....wrong
because hollwood is pro-segregation
Will Smith sells it so naturally too
Youuu SORRY LITTLE INGRATES!
soul vs (insert marvel film here) soulless
This would make for a good Skyrim transition edit
Cope.
Because people liked it on release, and that doesn't fit their victim seeking mentality
sir
Isn't that the comic where they brainwash the kid to do the UoT shooting?
this
thats amazing. to think some teenager came up with that entire conversation 16 years ago. it sounds exactly like a conversation from the movie too. something none of the writers for the other films could get right
lol wat? the animation studio for that show worked on like a half dozen others with similar styles, i doubt kanye was watching saturday morning cartoons as a teenager
exactly. the mortician was really close to finding out about them too, first thing that happened was they wiped her.
my favorite part is how small the organization is in the first one. obviously only 26 field agents, they only had 3,000 aliens living on the planet. all that support staff. the sequels pumped it up a lot. also MIB started in 1960 so MIB 3 is like almost right after the organization was founded, not that anyone involved in the sequels seemed to care
Fugg
