i guess i never put this together but in 1.10 we learn that john co-owned a garage in Lawrence before the fire and mary’s death. so in 2.20 when dream!mary says that dean’s working at a garage, she’s probably talking about that same one. this is supposed to be dean’s “perfect” fantasy world, but he’s still inheriting the family business from his father.
Can we talk about how much style the first men in black had, like this was Cinematography. The greens and oranges, the blues and that pleasing hazy filter over everything.
It wasn't just like a blockbuster, and it didn't have that CGI cleaness. There was a purposeful look here, it was an unwinding, fast paced, well written conspiracy detective flick.
Like the state troopers at the start with their little uniforms getting covered in goo, the classic UFO crashing on a farm with a cow. It was acknowleding the genre of kooky alien invasion films and then world-building off of it.
It just had such a Clear premise and was able to pull it off so flawlessly cause it knew exactly what it was! And I understand why it was so popular cause it makes you want to be a part of that world, the suits, the glasses, the eye-candy weapons. It all just looks so tactile and fun,., But SO GROUNDED, it's a completely approachable film
Like not to get High Art Film Snobby😭 but can you see it, can you see the difference. It's the same place, same concept but there is such a specific signature here that has just been Stripped away
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”
