Not saying that Hollywood studios are committing blatant financial fraud or anything, but the writer of the original Men in Black being told that after 3 sequels, a hit song, a WB cartoon series and a comic book being told “this franchise has never made money” is rather shady.

Didn’t Mark Hamill say they once sent him a letter every year claiming Star Wars never made any money?

men in black still holds up so well imo the jaded old man getting partnered with an insubordinate rookie (and it works bc they’re both fucking insane). the lore. the creepy cockroach alien wearing a human as a suit & planning world domination. the kitty and his lil necklace. the wazzzzzzzzup aliens & talking pug. the special effects and pre digital haze. the quote where k says “fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the earth was the center of the universe. five hundred years ago, everybody knew the earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. imagine what you'll know tomorrow”

"You'll dress only in attire specially sanctioned by MiB special services. You'll conform to the identity we give you, eat where we tell you, live where we tell you. From now on you'll have no identifying marks of any kind. You'll not stand out in any way. Your entire image is crafted to leave no lasting memory with anyone you encounter. You're a rumor, recognizable only as deja vu and dismissed just as quickly. You don't exist; you were never even born. Anonymity is your name. Silence your native tongue. You're no longer part of the System. You're above the System. Over it. Beyond it. We're "them." We're "they." We are the Men in Black." Men in Black (1997) dir. Barry Sonnenfeld

[animatronicappreciation]

Here's one fans of aliens and insects alike will appreciate: it's the (tragically unused) animatronic Edgar bug from Men In Black! Built by Rick Baker and his team, this 12-foot-tall space roach was intended for use in the climactic final battle, which originally contained a lengthy conversation between Edgar and the agents before any action happened. The animatronic ended up unused, and Edgar was switched to a CGI rig instead, purportedly because they didn't find the animatronic expressive enough facially.

While Edgar is wonderful in any case, it's a shame this beauty didn't take to the big screen like it was meant to; I adore the cobra-like hood especially. Funnily enough, the tie-in action figure for Edgar was modeled after this design as well.

LOTS more pictures as well as information on the old auction listing for the animatronic!
