Wow, was it really neccesary to devote an entire web page to this tiny piece. You guys waste so much web space on your site.

Yeah because there's so little space on the web ... Better act fast, the Internet might fill up. Welcome to the world wide web of advertising click throughs .....

Jer, Men in Black is more than worthy to be mentioned in a Scifi news page. There is nothing more Scifi than Men Black. And I, for one, am very happy about this. I LOVE The Men in Black movies. Most people don't notice it but The Men in Black movies make subtle references to one of my favourite obscure Science fiction writers, Walter Tevis. Tevis wrote The man who fell To Earth. His hero was named Newton. A character named Newton appears in Men in Black 2, as does a reference to some of Tevis' short stories (the scene where K pokes that little world). Tevis's short story 'The Big bounce' is referenced in the first Men in Black. I used to think I was one of the only people in the world who read Walter Tevis until I saw The men in Black movies. I hope to see more subtle homages to obscure Science fiction literature.

I thought the other MIB movies really sucked. They had zero momentum for what were supposed to be fun adventures. Maybe this has a chance of being good if Sonnenfeld isn't directing but if he is, beware the stench, money or no.

Sorry guys, I have to agree with Mandy. I thought the MIB films were great, almost classic. If Jones and Smith are in it, I'll pay for it even if it turns out to be crap. :)

The question is not whether or not they should make an MiB3, but if Will and Tommy Lee will come back. No J and K, no movie, dangit!

I believe the funniest parts in MIB were due to Will being the newb and Tommy Lee Jones (TLJ) being the expert. In MIB2, they reversed that, with somewhat less than perfect results. If TLJ is back as the older veteran, I foresee a possibly very funny movie. The weirder events that can transpire and be treated as humdrum daily events, the funnier this one could be. I'll line up to see it if those two come back.
Excited to see Ghostbusters 3. Done right, it could be another classic. Make sure all the original cast is on board though!
And as always, another Spiderman would be fun. Just make sure he isn't TOO neurotic, folks.
