Actually, the Bug DOES have a reason to bring her over, he even says it. "It's a long trip, I'll need a snack."
-
When I was a kid and watched this on VHS I started a timer when there was 8 minutes until the destruction of earth. And yes it was actually just under 8 minutes. I thought you'd take a sin off for that. I can not remember a movie where there was time counting down and it was actually accurate. come on. sin removed!

It's explained in other material that J did actually do everything right in his tests. So he wasn't hired just for athleticism. Even if he was being a smartass the whole time, his smartassery allowed him to do everything right.
-
I don’t think Vincent D’Onofrio gets enough credit for ANYTHING he does. He’s an amazing actor.
-
Calling a shotgun a “rifle” even after already specifying that it’s a shotgun ding Sinning J for saying “the cab” when he actually said “a cab” ding
-
That line about a person being smart but people being dumb that was actually one of my favorite quotes from the movie I am so glad they took a sin off for it.
-
I think what K meant when he told Zed that J "ran down a sephalapoid on foot" is more about J being able to keep up with it and being resourceful enough to track it down without any high tech gadgets that they use.
-
1:50 "increased the visible stars by a factor of 10" - I'm guessing the speaker has never gone camping in a forest.
-
Before watching, I can already tell you: if this doesn't end with them putting on the sunglasses and wiping the memory of all the sins, that's a goddamned missed opportunity.
-
By the way at 8:53 the sign seems to be in Russian - "хорошая кухня" without the first 2 letters, which is weird. The translation is : "Good kitchen"
-
I think the little alien died because he couldn't breathe Earth's atmosphere and the vessel was compromised or something

This movie was such an important part of my childhood. I can remember every single scene of this movie almost verbatim which is super uncommon for me, even after countless viewings. My elementary school had a DARE program that held a talent show. For this talent show, I performed in a dance to Will Smiths “Men in Black” song. We made a crashed flying saucer for the stage and were dressed in cute MIB outfits and a parent played an alien. It was so much fun to be a part of. We used my dads super fancy detachable camera flash on the audience as the Neurolyzer at the end of the song. It was AWESOME!

Even after 20 years. This movie still holds up.

About Sin #82 - it is clearly explained that he took her as a "snack" for the trip,then he dropped her and decided she wasn't worth it.
-
U clearly never left the city if u think that aint real Sky lol. Stars are even brigther

I've always interpreted Jay and Kay having dinner together to be no more than a false, implanted memory. Like Kay neuralised Jay then said "we spent the evening together at a restaurant where I bored you with a bunch of crappy jokes" and then the scene we witness is Jay's memory of that.

Should be 1 sin removed for the subtle brilliance of the testing scene. First the MIB hands out a standardized exam but the real test is to see which guy in the room will think outside the box & take command of the situation by grabbing the table to use it for writing. Then on the target range, the trigger-happy soldiers all fail because they immediately shoot at any creature that looks strange. Clearly the wrong guys for an agency that deals exclusively with weird, often scary-looking aliens! J is the only one who shows patience, takes in the situation & realizes the little girl is the most suspicious figure. J is smart, decisive, observant, & he thinks with a rational, open mind. He's capable of following orders, but he's not a sheep. The military guys fail because as Z says, they're "Everything we've come to expect from years of government training". For being a goofy alien action blockbuster, this movie actually has some incredibly smart writing!

1:55 You actually can see that many stars, if not more, when you are in the desert where there's no light pollution. Sinning this video for lazy sinning. ding
-
Vincent D'Onofrio is an amazing actor. He's really underrated. He can play such a huge range of characters, convincingly. He's definitely one of the best.

For Sin#82, he actually mentions how he’d like a snack. That’s why he had her but didn’t bother to actually go after her after she broke free. He wanted a snack but didn’t need one.
