Here Comes the New Men in Black 3 Trailer (To Underwhelm You)
Sony's got quite the job ahead of them selling the mega-budgeted sequel Men in Black III, due in May, if the new trailer is any indication: See Will Smith drop lines like "I don't have no problem pimp-slapping the shiznit outta Andy Warhol" and be transported to a futuristic time-traveling retro '60s that looks and sounds a lot like the one Austin Powers came from. I guess the '90s are the new '80s, but this is just lazy.
The new sequel follows alien-hunting Agent J (Smith) into the past to save Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) by teaming up with a younger version of K (Josh Brolin doing his best Tommy Lee Jones impression). Look forward to the usual broad aliens-among-us gags and that mind eraser schtick that audiences loved in 1997! Smith bemoans that he's "getting too old for this," and I'm inclined to agree. Aren't we all?
Verdict: Looks tired. Insert mind eraser joke here.

Yeah, it looks a little tired. Yeah, it looks like it's balancing on the head of a one-joke pin. But I'm really hoping to enjoy this for some reason. It's the only thing I can stand to see Will Smith in, and I thought the first two were just fine (yes, II was plenty funny so nyah nyah).
Please be better than the trailer! Please?
Until this flops, I'm going to continue to believe that Will Smith could open a film featuring only a continuous static shot of a bare ass if he wanted to. Yes, he can. Le sigh...
A reboot of "Ass", this time starring Will Smith? That's an Upgrayedd from the last version.
Haha! Love it. I want to believe you're Luke Wilson now.
They've hired Mr Garrison to make the IT for them from the South Park episode The Entity.

Seriously, what is that thing K and J are riding?
SPOT ON!
No wonder Big Willy Style is making his trademark Whoaaahhhoooaaahhh! noises.
Gender role speaking it's funny to watch the possibly closeted Will Smith threaten to open a can of whup-ass on the blithe, physically barely-there Warhol.
These movies are such pitifully conveyor belt product, and really ugly to look at.
I don't think Hollywood has been suffering more than it is right now.
