More Pics and Reporting From The Set of MEN IN BLACK 2
Hey folks, Harry here with a second report from Fourmyle of Ceres... and this time he's including pictures of his own!!! You add these reports to the earlier Spy Reports and well... it's adding up to something to read... I wasn't a big fan of the Original MEN IN BLACK... I thought it was O.K., but nothing particularly grand... Here's the news on the latest incarnation...
Harry,
Fourmyle of Ceres here again, with some photos of the diner to go with my
story from yesterday. There are two angles of the diner with the saucer and a
mediocre shot of Smith (would've been better, but there was this taxi coming,
and well...) Smith's the tiny face and tie to the right of the guy in the
light blue shirt.
You can see how the diner was lit last night (Tuesday 6/12), with the trusses
on the roof supporting lights aimed down and into the front diner windows from
the outside. It was for an interior shot, with extras walking back and forth
along the sidewalk outside the front window.
There was a crane 20 or 30 feet up over the next corner (to the left, as
you're looking at the diner) loaded with spotlights aimed back toward the
diner. It was creating an unexpected effect--since the spot below the crane
was the best illuminated piece of street for miles, people were standing under
it for better visibility while hailing taxis. Hysterical. And very
effective.
This afternoon, Wednesday, they were removing the trusses and lights from on
top of the diner, so if there's to be any business with the saucer, it may be
tonight. Forecast is for hot and muggy here through tomorrow.
Also, parked on the street last night were two cars being kept under
car-covers. Neither outline looked like the Town Car, both were smaller, and
one looked to be painted white. I didn't hang out too late, so I don't know
what happened with them. The crowd of onlookers Tuesday night was larger
(several hundred), and for a while included Debbie Harry, who lives in a
nearby apartment building.
In a completely unrelated and unexpected celebrity spotting, this afternoon
Leonard Nimoy was on the C train, frowning at the posted subway map as he was
headed downtown. Some people were staring, but all respected his privacy in
that special tender way only New Yorkers on a subway have--that's why New York
is just the friendliest darn city there is.
Enjoying my visit,
Fourmyle of Ceres

"Yup, sure, would you please look at this ligth?" --** FLASH **-- "It's a comunication satellite, indeed, that comunicates with AICN about a movie that started shooting three days ago". Is this going to continue till the opening of the film, by winter 2002? Oh, please, give us a break!

I STILL WONDER WHY THEY ARE MAKING MIB2 LEONARD NIMOY ON THE C T

It's a little amusing. I wonder if the diner they show in the film will have all those cameras dangling off of it.
-
How many friggin' pictures do we have of that now? 5? Can we see something else PLEASE? I am not really looking forward to this. Is Tommy Lee Jones even in it?
-
Though that still may be a bad thing... for Tommy at least.

All you Star Wars geeks should shut up! Mib was one of the funniest films of the last five years. Way funnier than Something about Mary, American Pie, or Scary Movie. It could actually make you laugh with using penis of fart jokes. I' m all for a sequel. Any movie that uses the talent of make-up god Rick Baker, super-composer Danny Elfmen, and great art director Bo Welch is a must see in my book!

It's not great, but there's nothing else quite like it, and it's inspired quite a lot in the past four years. And the game/ride at Universal Studios Orlando is awesome! I enjoyed the movie itself quite a lot, being Executive Produced by Spielberg, it kind of fits into the word of Close Encounters and E.T., and of course X-Files, but from the point of view of the mysterious agents who cover the aliens up. Jones and Smith were a really good team, the music kicked ass, the production design was funky, and the humor was clever. Add in cool special effects and you've got yourself a blockbuster. MIB 2 is not a movie I'm slobbering to see, but I'll definetly check it out opening day, and I hope it'll be better (although I won't get my hopes up). Barry Sonnefeld is just not one of the greats. He's just a competent "pretty good" with a semi-unique approch to comedy. Get Shorty was a good book, Scott Frank did a good adaption, they got a good cast, and Sonnefeld didn't screw it up. Now, Wild Wild West, on the other hand...oh well. Maybe we can blame Jon Peters.

Aliens in New York City...great idea. A lot of the ideas were cool. The Coffee midgets, the World's Fair Spaceships, The Tabloids being right, the nueralyzer, Frank the pug, etc. Rip Torn and Vincent D'Onofrio. Linda Fiorentino...it's a nifty movie.
