Us too, Will.
At long last, it’s the trailer for the movie you’ve all been waiting for– oops, hold on, looks like I read this wrong, it’s actually the trailer for Men in Black 3. Sorry about that, my mistake. Anyway, after a series of delays, the film once set to open Memorial Day 2011 is now set for the same date in 2012 (probably couldn’t get Will Smith’s trailer ready in time). It comes from director Barry Sonnenfeld, whose only film since Men in Black 2 was the Robin Williams classic RV, and four credited screenwriters, including two who worked on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Yay, they get to keep working! And people complain about illegal aliens. Anyway, given its pedigree, it doesn’t look half bad!
I used to like Will Smith, but it seems like somewhere around the time he started using his children as walking billboards for himself he lost the ability to enjoyably chew scenery. Though I do like the idea of J-Broles doing a Tommy Lee Jones impression for the entire movie. It’d be better if it was just Josh Brolin and Tommy Lee Jones with one of them doing a Will Smith impression, but oh well. As a consolation, I only hope that at least once, Will Smith shouts at an alien, “Hey! I welcomed you ta Earff, and I can kick you off it!”
Get it? Because he told an alien “WELCOME DA EARFF!” that one time? That was cool. Though I think it was mostly because he kicked it square in the face right afterwards. If you punctuate it with a kick to the dome, saying “Welcome to” anything is awesome. It could be “WELCOME DA IHOP!” and if you kicked an old lady right in the head afterwards, people would think it was the most gangsta thing ever. “WELCOME TO COMMUNION!” “WELCOME TO SQUARE DANCE!”

The time travel theme is pretty perfect, because you’d have to travel back in time about 10 years to find an enthusiastic audience.
I hope they come out with a sweet new line of sunglasses. I want to pretend to be Will Smith, because the difference is that he makes this look good.
I’m looking most forward to the scene when we finally see Turnbull put that branding iron to Josh Brolin’s face, then Will Smiff pops out & slugs him after saying “Welcome ta Earff, Uncle Phil!” while Tommy Lee Jones & Jim Carrey plot another scheme to finally stop The Batman
In the fourth installment we find out these were all just Rip Torn’s dreams.
( in reality beautiful things which may one day be harnessed to fuel actual time travel and the electric car)
Josh Brolin isn’t white enough to do a Will Smith impression.
Actually Vince, Will Smith punched the alien in the dome BEFORE he said “WELCOME TA EARFF!”
*takes long puff of inhaler*
If you’re looking to see an old lady get kicked in the face after being welcomed to a breakfast-serving restaurant, you should spend more time at Waffle House.
He goes back to 1969? So now he has to tackle aliens and racism? If there isn’t a “Civil rights? Civil WRONGS!” line, I’m asking for the money I won’t spend to not see this back.
You maniacs! You did it! You finally turned Josh Brolin in to Tommy Lee Jones! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!
“Men in Negroes” was a joke I was going to write about traveling back to 1969 but now I’m too busy drafting a script to a time traveling porn movie.
@dickimaa, on that note, I will hand my soul over to Xenu if there isn’t a joke in this movie along the lines of “You’re not a Man In Black, you’re just a black man!”
God, please tell me that when Will Smith jumps off the Chrysler building he lands in a hot tub.
While the first movie rated a 9.5 on the weird-shit-o-meter, the sequels have barely been able to crack a 5.3
Now this is the story all about how
My career halted, and got slowed down
And I’d like to take a minute just sit right there
I’ll tell you how I returned to a franchise that’s been dead for years
High budget blockbusters are my stage
But I picked Seven Pounds out of a pile of screenplays
Requested a two story trailer, with a pool
To shoot some crap, cause studios take moviegoers for fools
But when the reviews came out, they were no good
Started making trouble all over Hollywood
I had one weak opening and my agent scared
And said it’s Michael Bay or aliens for your next film, you hear?
I called Martin Lawrence and when he came near
He said he said stuck doing a Big Mama movie this year
At least I never fat cross dressed, for black actors that’s rare
And I thought Bad Boys? Forget it; I’ve got another franchise here
I signed off for gross percent of seven or eight
And to my Oscar hopes, yo holmes smell you later
It could be worse to be honest and fair
Look at Carleton’s career after Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
So, will there be a giant, mechanical spider, the weapon system for which includes a customized cross-hair with the silhouette of Planet Earff on it?
@Dean
He also pronounces “Earth” correctly too.
It’s just funnier to think he says “Earff.” You know, black jokes and whatnot.
Is it just me, or does Tommy Lee Jones look like he’s wearing a Tommy Lee Jones mask?
Jesus Christ on a stick could you imagine been his daughter?
