Yep like they said, it makes better sense that he always knew. I mean J was a bit of a clown as a young Cop, but he had potential and K knew his Father was a good Man who passed his skills and sense of duty on to J. He was looking out for him all this time. My pet theory is that he never wanted this life for J, but he knew he was capable of being a great Agent. I think that's why he was content to let J live his own life. But then as we all recall, fate sort of intervened with the Bug and all and I think he then realized J was always meant to be an Agent.
Remember that quote he says in men and black 1 there’s always a mother ship or asteroid or alien death ray that’s about to wipe out this tiny miserable little planet what a great final scene to reference that by the end of-course it also references Boris attack on earth in the original future at the beginning he tried to alter for it to happen.
Yeah, I don't think International can top this. Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson are great but they ain't Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith. At the end of the day it wasn't fighting aliens, cool gadgets or a overarching conspiracy aspect that made MIB movies iconic and classics though they helped, it was these two guys and their chemistry that did that
@@andrewcheng1998 she was not like J. J was a stranger to MIB and was trying to get to know all the gadgets and stuff and aliens. While this gal is like. I now know every species and know it all. Like come on guys.
The point of these films have always been about connection and relationships. Not about overarching plots and great alien enemies, but how we're a small part of a bigger picture. Maybe there is a grand scheme or maybe there isn't, but the universe is so expansive and marvelous that we'll never get to see it all, but we should focus on this life and this world. I'm 50/50 on the philosophy, but I like how this ends in line with the past movie's endings where hey the universe is big, scary, and it can kill us. Hell, some are playing with it like a game of marbles, but we got each other, and more importantly even if we don't know it, we've got the Men In Black.
This is why MiB International wasn't good, it focused on the half-baked plot and all the different aliens and what they can do instead of building up characters and the world around them
@@shaunbenge8319 Have to 100% agree. It just goes to show, what people are after in the midst of extragavanza special effects films are stories with heart and soul. MIB International felt soulless. It didn't even end like traditional MIB movies.
Even with the new MiB movie coming out, i think this was a really sweet and perfect way to say goodbye to this duo. Its perfect closure. Also I just noticed that small detail at the beginning. K was singing to that song due to the influence J had on him on the past, which made him appreciate a few genres outside of just country.
K knew the entire time who he was. He couldn't tell him what would happen because it could mess things up so he kept it to himself, watching over J and waiting for the right time. When J put the watch down K knew he finally saw what happened.
So in other words... Ong😮 Jay had always time traveled back to help K with the moon launch!!! K knew this would happen in the future is more why he recruited J and why Zed asked if he was sure about him. It truly is full circle and beautiful to see that.
@@richd2457 J didnt go back the first time. the timeline he returns to is a different one from the timeline at the start of the movie. K didn't know who J would become in the future in the original timeline, only when J went back in time and told K about everything, did K know who kid J would become.
@@JSheerXeno54 In other words in the original timeline K arrested Boris the Animal but since "where there is death there is always death" Boris kills J's dad. In the 2nd timeline K is the one to die so we can assume J's dad doesn't die as the film made it clear K was gonna get killed by 2012 Boris while his foot was stuck if not for J. Changing J's personality enough that he would stand being partners to someone like AA. In the 3rd timeline both Boris' are killed, but because the '69' Boris is killed in the same way due to J not being next to K, he kills J's dad, also replacing K as the dead one, thus "where there is death there is always death".
He knew them the entire time. But to be a great teacher, father, leader. You must set the example. He didn’t slip up a bit with J. The consequences of him raising him poorly destroys the earth.
Before he had the specter of Boris returning sitting on his conscience. Finally just ground him down to being not that fun. This time around, he was able to enjoy the finer things, like a good slice of pie and a good song.
@Fri lac Basically with Boris definitevly dead, K got to relax a touch. Appreciate the now rather than sticking to the old and familiar 100% of the time.
@@smash3r01 I still don't understand the part with J and changed future. Wouldn't his memorie have changed? Or does it have to do with chocolate and some sort of connection with the timelines? Why did K shoot himself?
@@ginopippofrebooter-ilrinne2881 From what I can gather, J remembers because he was there when time was split. It's not elaborated upon, just something mentioned when he's talking to the pawn shop guy. When did K shoot himself?
The expression on K’s face when he realizes that the question about J’s father, why he recruited J, the “things that the universe doesn’t know” that he has been hiding and avoiding to answer all these 14 years, has finally been solved. He got no worry, no regret toward J anymore
At first he didn’t know what he was talking about but I think that after J shows him the pocket watch K puts together that he’s talking about his father and how K looked after him and recruited him after that, and him saying “It’s been my privilege” wasn’t just talking about him being an agent, but also being able to help a lost kid who never knew what happened to his dad
Congrats, you figured out the very obvious plot-line that is near impossible to miss! Yay! You did it! I hope you're, at least more than barely, figuring other things out a year later.
Hmm I don't think so cause in his past, Jay already said he is K's partner from the future, about a number of year K recruits him etc. So K already knows from the start who he was, he was just relieved that those secrets he kept so long has finally revealed
Lol chill guys. It's more impressive that K knew J would time travel to help him with the moon launch is why Zed asked him to be sure while being his guardian from a distance his whole life😊
"I´s been my privilege."- The way Tommy Lee Jones delivered this line always gets me. He even got choked up a little bit. Amazing acting, if you ask me. These two guys made the franchise. Too bad they had to ruin it all by making that MIB International bs.
They wrote this so beautifully. One of the best story lines through out a trilogy ever. “Did you ever use one of those neuralizer thingies on me?” (Very first movie) 3rd movie: we find out that K used it on him as a kid to erase his dads death. That line has so much power now. Amazing writing
*FLASH* whatever you just saw for the past hour was just a parody made by a youtuber with the purpose to raise fund for the orphans. The cinema commitee would like o thank u all for participating in this event
"Last night was a long, long time ago" is such a beautiful line that can be applied to any situation where you fall out with someone and end up regretting it, one of my favourites.
This honestly makes me tear up a bit. J comes in and his previously dead partner is just sitting on a stool jamming out to some diner music like nothing ever happened. Stuff like that in movies and TV shows always hit me in the feels.
For anyone trying to think about it. He sees all possibilities at the same time, and the timeliness where K forgot to leave a tip was also the one hit by an asteroid. The two have nothing to do with each other directly, merely correspondence.
Please just let the series end here. Im so tired of series ending on good notes just to be brought back later in a bastardized fashion to catch nostalgia.
I have some problems with the second movie, but I love the first and this one. Really solid trilogy, you don't see that nowadays too much (outside of the MCU).
In common sense, young K didn't forget that J traveled in time and everything he lived with him, that's why he realized everything when J shows that watch..... I think
@@calowenby1654 And man, come on, if J could travel back in time to save K, he could travel back to meet his father and prevent his death.... But it's a movie so ....
Please Men in Black filmmakers, re-watch this movie and re-consider that stupid crossover idea between Men in Black and 22 Jump Street. This is how Men in Black should end.
The idea is good if done right if they don’t have J and K show up and just have Jenko and Schmidt join MIB to stop drug dealing aliens that way it doesn’t mess with this ending and just makes it a side project something that happened in the MIB universe that J and K had nothing to do with
Yep it was supposed to be secret between the 2 of them cus K didnt want J to find out the truth cus if he did J would ask wat happened and well that plot line would change differently then wat we have here in this movie where we see J finding out everything on his own
"How many times you flashy thinged that poor woman?" "A couple...." "Hey, K! Have you ever flashy thinged me?" "No." "I'm not playing! Have you ever flashy thinged me?" "No."
Just such a great ending, no huge dramatic send-off necessary, just the duo back to work, cause the reveal of J’s father was enough, the reconciliation of these two was enough.2 was a loud, overblown, dumb mess, but this film had so much heart and thought put in, of course there’s the go-to question of “K said J wasn’t alive in 1968, J’s birthdate was 1975 in the montage in the first film” but i don’t really think it matters. Cause in a sea of evil bug creatures, terraformers, all assorted big bads and nasties we’ll always have the men in black. Good thing there were zero films after thing
Dude.. hes "Living" in more dimensions. In Theory that means.. hes everywhere and everyone. He sees and knows everything. Time is nonsens for him, hes living on the outside of a space where he'd bound to our space and time. Hes not god, you could kill him. But thats like having a 2D being trying to fight your 3D body... well...
they can see into the future and possibility, doesn't mean they can change the future. They can manipulate reality into their desired outcome, but not every time. especially not against a whole species of boris
What about when K got neuralyzed in the first movie? Didn't that erase all his memories with the M.I.B prior? So technically speaking, K would never know that J helped him.
@@Joe-ss9is More interesting is that K knew he would work with J, so also knew the neuralyzer wasn't permanent. I see it as K's way of taking a vacation :)
I want to believe that k knew it when he shows up his watch, I really want to believe that he still remember the adventure he had with him 40 years ago.
@@Arts11234 That makes sense but the fact that the meteor shatters into the satellite basically the moment he pays his bill makes me think otherwise but that’s just me.
@@doctorneotech7011in the film, griff makes it a point that millions of seemingly unrelated events can result in what seems like a miracle. K leaving a tip doesnt seem like it would correlate to the meteor, but it does and the reason why it does is known only to griff.
0:06 i love when J see K sitting there waiting. The way i see it. It’s almost like seeing an old friend after not seeing them in years. Warms the heart
I love the Men in Black series. It's like the great fictional stories that teach great life lessons. The Men in Black serve to protect the world and expect the world to not know about it (Men in Black 1). These people are human, and they desire to be known/loved. But they understand their role, and through sacrifice, offer their love to save the world again (Men in Black 2). And, in this movie, remembering the past and what made it all special - while still sacrificing to save the world without desire of recognition, is real. Add that to all the other subplots and emotional pinnings, you have a fantastic series that could be watched for years and you'd learn something new each time - including the real chance that many of us could relate to a job that is very needed and underappreciated (MiB 1), a love lost for a greater cause (MiB 2), and learning a story that we never thought possible, but shaped our life to what it is today (MiB 3).
The most powerful moment in all of film I have ever seen.....was the moment after J pulled out that watch and you can count the number of seconds K was just STARING at J for a long LONG time. Amazing acting. Just imagine what was going on in K's mind. He's having flashbacks. He's thinking, "THIS was my old OLD friend from long long ago, the man I respected. Here he is before me right now". Up until this very moment, J was the distant son he raised out of guilt and regret. AFTER this moment, J was no longer this child he mentored- now he was his equal, a friend, and potentially even someone K looked up to (because K was young back then - similar age to J currently, and their relationship in the past wasn't a mentor-mentee thing). It all came flooding back and he could do nothing else but stare in disbelief until he accepted it. This man is the SAME man from decades past but to him, he was talking to my past self hours prior and to me, it was a long long time ago.
Note all the subtleties at 0:50-0:52 for the facial expressions. The tiniest quirk of an eyebrow. Huge Props to TLJ and director Sonnenfeld. Would love to have been there while they shot this scene.
I've done that once or twice. Especially if I'm running late for work and my food order took long to get to my table and I only had time to eat 3-4 bites before I had to leave in a hurry.
Fun fact: in scenes with large quantities of food like at the table during thanksgiving in a movie or a small scene such as this they dont always use real food Theyre just fake sponges made to look like food and such
Tommy Lee Jones reminds me alot of my step dad. He is an army veteran and he's been in my life since I was 5 years old. Sadly him and my mama broke up in 2009. But he never stopped being my step dad. I've told him many times that no matter what happens and no matter what anyone says, he will always be my dad. He is the prime example that blood doesn't make you family
TimeTravelinc butterfly of doom: oh look at that you forgot the tip!? Meteor: Here comes death bitchs! K: oh wait forgot the tip here. Meteor: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! BOOM!

Am I the only one who thinks Griffin looks a lot like Quentin Tarantino?
Griff is apparently a 5th dimensional being as I've read the comments I nearly forgot about this guy kinda thought he was weird till they took off his lil hat there and I saw the antenna and I'm like "nvm he just an alien" but he was a rather cheerful fellow
I think this is the perfect ending for mib and even tho mib international exists it doesnt ruin it for me because j and k story is completed and they werent even cameos in international so i am still happy with this
I like how the K and J arc concluded. No heartfelt goodbyes, no mourning each others loss, just two elite partners having a wholesome moment and then right back to roasting each other as they're off to their next assignment. Feels reminiscent of how Star Trek TNG ended. We might not get another MiB movie involving these two, but in our hearts, the adventures of K and J continue.
I don't know why, but this scene reminds me of the ending for Days of Future Past when Wolverines wakes up and tells Professor X that he doesnt remember history the same way
no he was just using it as a tell to see wether they were in that reality or not. The asteroid hits in one of the realities and it just so happens to coincide with the time he forgets to tip.
I just rewatched the trilogy in adulthood, as a kid I never heard anyone talk about how good Will and Tommy were together, 3 movies of flawless acting between the 2.
We DID NOT need MiB International. It wasn't bad, it was just kind of bland. If I want action scenes with LOTS of car chases & " pew, pew, pew " I can watch the Fast & Furious, Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill.
The expression on k's face is amazing because now he knows that j is the one he met a long time ago
Plus one win
He knew anyway didnt he? Wasnt it his promise to look after J
@@Joshyboy1100 yes he always knew. The look on his face was him remembering back to it.

everyone else is moving though
Damn man! That's a good eye
No one is moving,
the black guy in the right of the screen is also a manniquin
It isn't said in so many words, but this is the original trilogy's "I have been and always shall be your friend"-moment.
yes

Wow that really brings things full circle, especially with K getting J into MIB in the first place. Makes sense now.
Nice job writers, nice job.
Dangit, there goes HBO again
Ding!
HBO loses its satellite to meteors, MTV loses theirs to military lasers. No wonder cable's a grumpy mess.

That's why we didn't see the ending of The Sopranos!
I honestly love how after their heartfelt exchange they immediately went back to how they normally act. Pretty much sums up their relationship
In common sense, young K didn't forget that J traveled in time and everything he lived with him, that's why he realized everything when J shows that watch..... I think
I think you're right.
@@calowenby1654 And man, come on, if J could travel back in time to save K, he could travel back to meet his father and prevent his death.... But it's a movie so ....
Please Men in Black filmmakers, re-watch this movie and re-consider that stupid crossover idea between Men in Black and 22 Jump Street. This is how Men in Black should end.
They should cross over 22 jump street with mall cop
???????
orbison Crossover RIPD,MIB,22jump Street
The idea is good if done right if they don’t have J and K show up and just have Jenko and Schmidt join MIB to stop drug dealing aliens that way it doesn’t mess with this ending and just makes it a side project something that happened in the MIB universe that J and K had nothing to do with
orbison how about 21st Jump st and the other guys
Its does my heart well that K has been watching J all of J's life. A life debt K felt he owed for J's Father saving K's life.
J's father saved K's life at the cost of his own.
This movie was actually really good and I regret not seeing it in theaters
i saw it in theaters with my cousin and it’s one of my favorite memories in the world

1:41 Griff breaking the fourth wall twice.
This scene was the most perfect wrap-up for a childhood experience.
Why does Griffin ending off the film with saying "That was a close one!" make me die laughing every time?
I'm not sure, but it does seem a bit out of place yet also _in_ place at the same time. But my explanation also doesn't really make sense, either.
@@101Volts Griffin is / was a great character motivated by a desire to see Earth stay safe.

Dammit! There goes my internet... Again.
That's what you get for going with satellite internet!
So that explains why in MIB 1 K told J he flashy thing him once or twice when clearly he did it once i the first movie,he was throwing hints
Yep it was supposed to be secret between the 2 of them cus K didnt want J to find out the truth cus if he did J would ask wat happened and well that plot line would change differently then wat we have here in this movie where we see J finding out everything on his own
"How many times you flashy thinged that poor woman?"
"A couple...."
"Hey, K! Have you ever flashy thinged me?"
"No."
"I'm not playing! Have you ever flashy thinged me?"
"No."
A satisfying end to the trilogy😊👍🏻😎!!! I remember watching this ending back in 2012 aswell
Zacimus Prime Well, I wouldn’t be so sure about that because MIB4 is coming out on June 14th.
@@brianrose8772 MIB International is a spinoff so it ain't part of trilogy
Just such a great ending, no huge dramatic send-off necessary, just the duo back to work, cause the reveal of J’s father was enough, the reconciliation of these two was enough.2 was a loud, overblown, dumb mess, but this film had so much heart and thought put in, of course there’s the go-to question of “K said J wasn’t alive in 1968, J’s birthdate was 1975 in the montage in the first film” but i don’t really think it matters. Cause in a sea of evil bug creatures, terraformers, all assorted big bads and nasties we’ll always have the men in black.
Good thing there were zero films after thing
MIB 1 and 3 still amongst the movies that i never tired watch it over and over again. the script, the plot the acting,.. it is just perfect
It's awesome to see that K has been there guiding and protecting the child of the man who saved his life
You go to 1:18 and you don't even see Griffin and then all of a sudden, he's there with a sandwich and everything.
he is a 5D being !!
Extra dimensional being. Or he just moved there from another seat.
Dude.. hes "Living" in more dimensions. In Theory that means.. hes everywhere and everyone. He sees and knows everything. Time is nonsens for him, hes living on the outside of a space where he'd bound to our space and time. Hes not god, you could kill him. But thats like having a 2D being trying to fight your 3D body... well...
Kaukus Anotherone The one thing that annoyed me is how could such a powerful race get wiped out.
they can see into the future and possibility, doesn't mean they can change the future. They can manipulate reality into their desired outcome, but not every time. especially not against a whole species of boris
Leaving tips is very important. Waiters, countermen, etc., work hard and deserve that little extra gesture of appreciation.
Men in Black is a really good movie. I enjoy it very much
Same
K talking heartwarmingly is forever great
wait, if J helped K in the past, when J comes back to the future, then K must be know that J helped him right?
The concept of time in this movie is the weirdest
What about when K got neuralyzed in the first movie? Didn't that erase all his memories with the M.I.B prior? So technically speaking, K would never know that J helped him.
@It Be Like That Sometimes Ohhhhh yeah, forgot about that part, thanks.
@@Joe-ss9is More interesting is that K knew he would work with J, so also knew the neuralyzer wasn't permanent. I see it as K's way of taking a vacation :)
I think K knows J went back and time and helped, but theres no need to bring it up.
The trilogy started with K's first appearance and ends with K's last appearance....
One of the best scenes in cinematic history 👏👏
I'd say this is 1 of the best movie series endings ever.
I want to believe that k knew it when he shows up his watch, I really want to believe that he still remember the adventure he had with him 40 years ago.
I bet he does.
@@calowenby1654 The trilogy = 24 kt GOLD. MiB International = Styrofoam or RECYCLED PLASTIC.
Meteor hits the person pitching MIB4
2:11
Definitely
I love how the meteor is entirely dependent on whether or not he pays his bill.
It's not.
The timeline where K forgets meteor strikes the earth, So it is Correlation not Causation.
@@Arts11234 That makes sense but the fact that the meteor shatters into the satellite basically the moment he pays his bill makes me think otherwise but that’s just me.
@@doctorneotech7011in the film, griff makes it a point that millions of seemingly unrelated events can result in what seems like a miracle. K leaving a tip doesnt seem like it would correlate to the meteor, but it does and the reason why it does is known only to griff.
0:06 i love when J see K sitting there waiting. The way i see it. It’s almost like seeing an old friend after not seeing them in years. Warms the heart
K and J are the perfect bromance that transcends time.
I love the Men in Black series. It's like the great fictional stories that teach great life lessons. The Men in Black serve to protect the world and expect the world to not know about it (Men in Black 1). These people are human, and they desire to be known/loved. But they understand their role, and through sacrifice, offer their love to save the world again (Men in Black 2). And, in this movie, remembering the past and what made it all special - while still sacrificing to save the world without desire of recognition, is real. Add that to all the other subplots and emotional pinnings, you have a fantastic series that could be watched for years and you'd learn something new each time - including the real chance that many of us could relate to a job that is very needed and underappreciated (MiB 1), a love lost for a greater cause (MiB 2), and learning a story that we never thought possible, but shaped our life to what it is today (MiB 3).
The most powerful moment in all of film I have ever seen.....was the moment after J pulled out that watch and you can count the number of seconds K was just STARING at J for a long LONG time. Amazing acting. Just imagine what was going on in K's mind. He's having flashbacks. He's thinking, "THIS was my old OLD friend from long long ago, the man I respected. Here he is before me right now". Up until this very moment, J was the distant son he raised out of guilt and regret. AFTER this moment, J was no longer this child he mentored- now he was his equal, a friend, and potentially even someone K looked up to (because K was young back then - similar age to J currently, and their relationship in the past wasn't a mentor-mentee thing). It all came flooding back and he could do nothing else but stare in disbelief until he accepted it. This man is the SAME man from decades past but to him, he was talking to my past self hours prior and to me, it was a long long time ago.
Very well-observed, and very well-said.
@@calowenby1654 It's ART, plain & simple.
This reminds me of Sam Raimi's Spiderman trilogy a la the character development, even though they're different franchises, obviously.
Note all the subtleties at 0:50-0:52 for the facial expressions. The tiniest quirk of an eyebrow. Huge Props to TLJ and director Sonnenfeld. Would love to have been there while they shot this scene.
Always hate it when they have food, leave and never even touch it. Come on!!
It only helps stimulate the brain for thought...or rather..food for thought ;)
Have you considered the continuity problems between takes if they ate the food?
Hit your marks...say your lines
Again
And again
And again
And again
Right!? J JUST got there! And already time to go. Smh
I've done that once or twice. Especially if I'm running late for work and my food order took long to get to my table and I only had time to eat 3-4 bites before I had to leave in a hurry.
Fun fact: in scenes with large quantities of food like at the table during thanksgiving in a movie or a small scene such as this they dont always use real food
Theyre just fake sponges made to look like food and such
"It's been my privilege". It's like K is waiting for him to find out, like a very great weight has been lifted.
I've never thought about it that way, but that's a good observation.
I loved that guy at the end. must be cool to know all that happens.
Tommy Lee Jones reminds me alot of my step dad. He is an army veteran and he's been in my life since I was 5 years old. Sadly him and my mama broke up in 2009. But he never stopped being my step dad. I've told him many times that no matter what happens and no matter what anyone says, he will always be my dad. He is the prime example that blood doesn't make you family
Overall, K's been a father figure to J and looked out for him his whole life and didn't realize it until that moment.
Last MIB by legendary actors 😔
It was & will always be an evergreen & memorable series!So many emotions!
Anyone feels like Griff is some kind of Butterfly of Doom? Anyone?
TimeTravelinc butterfly of doom: oh look at that you forgot the tip!?
Meteor: Here comes death bitchs!
K: oh wait forgot the tip here.
Meteor: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! BOOM!
Am I the only one who thinks Griffin looks a lot like Quentin Tarantino?
Griff is apparently a 5th dimensional being as I've read the comments I nearly forgot about this guy kinda thought he was weird till they took off his lil hat there and I saw the antenna and I'm like "nvm he just an alien" but he was a rather cheerful fellow
@ a mix between him and Tobey McGuire
Griffin is no doubt my favorite character in the entire franchise.
When J finally break free from his neuralizer but K know it about time that J learn about his past coincidentally.
I think this is the perfect ending for mib and even tho mib international exists it doesnt ruin it for me because j and k story is completed and they werent even cameos in international so i am still happy with this
I'd agree! I honestly think it's hard not to be happy with this.
@@calowenby1654 Griffin is a little like Marvel's Watcher character, excepting for becoming involved, no matter how indirectly.
I like how the K and J arc concluded. No heartfelt goodbyes, no mourning each others loss, just two elite partners having a wholesome moment and then right back to roasting each other as they're off to their next assignment. Feels reminiscent of how Star Trek TNG ended.
We might not get another MiB movie involving these two, but in our hearts, the adventures of K and J continue.
I don't know why, but this scene reminds me of the ending for Days of Future Past when Wolverines wakes up and tells Professor X that he doesnt remember history the same way
Yeah, love both of the movie
Griff buddy, its a good thing you haven't succumbed to depression with all the possible futures you see. Bless you.
It’s a beautiful ending to the franchise. Sadly some greedy baskets doesn’t agree and defiled such classic.
The fact that the earth being destroyed by an asteroid was somehow linked to whether or not K left a tip for the pie he didn’t eat is wild
no he was just using it as a tell to see wether they were in that reality or not. The asteroid hits in one of the realities and it just so happens to coincide with the time he forgets to tip.
I just rewatched the trilogy in adulthood, as a kid I never heard anyone talk about how good Will and Tommy were together, 3 movies of flawless acting between the 2.
So K is the world saver with his tipping power
Bro how is Men in Black 3 the only movie that consistently makes me tear up
It’s so perfectly well done
A little kindness can go a long way...and, sure enough:Earth was the recipient of yet another near-miss!
These 2 always had such great chemistry. The highlight of the trilogy for sure. I always hope I'll see them act in something else together
We DID NOT need MiB International. It wasn't bad, it was just kind of bland. If I want action scenes with LOTS of car chases & " pew, pew, pew " I can watch the Fast & Furious, Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill.
Everyone who survived 2020:
"That was a close one" 😬
See you in next years
Survived to what ?
Hopefully our society survives 2022
Are we surviving 2020? I don't think its over
And then, the Universe made Men In Black : International. That was just too sad.
Just pretending MIB Internasional is spin off.

they just scared me to believe that if I don't leave a tip at diners, I will be struck by a meteor.
Griffin's kin is literally the most precious PRECIOUS LIVING ORGANISM IN THAT DIMENSION
Moral of story: tip your server guys.
Arnold Rothstein sittin over there like a dentist with an ether
One of the best examples of the butterfly effect and most people never notice.
