One underrated part of this excellent movie for me is Vincent D'Onofrio's physicality. Every single time he's onscreen, he absolutely looks and sounds like a monstrous alien wearing an ill-fitting human suit. He had no reason to go that hard for a light-hearted comedy but by God he did and I love him for it.
Reminds me of Frank Langella who played Skeletor in Masters of the Universe (1987). He went hard for a relatively low budget, silly movie, but it was awesome
Mark if a true professional. He came to the acting job to act. And he went all in. No phoning it in. Full metal Jacket, Adventures in Babysitting(as "Thor"-yet another marvel tie in besides this movie), and of course the Marvel character Kingpin in the Daredevil series(among other appearances). Entirely different characters you are still talking about after you're done watching.
Vincent D'onofrio did an amazing job acting as Edgar the Bug. The movement, the mannerisms... all of it. Props to the makeup department as well for making him look as though he (the skin suit) is decomposing more and more as time goes on.
I remember getting this movie on VHS as a kid. I was in the hospital for a surgery, and when I woke up from the general anesthesia my parents gave me this movie and an ice cream cone as a treat. I'm pretty sure I wore the VHS out.
Random fun fact. When K goes to get coffee near the beginning of the movie, the language spoken by the little wormy aliens is Huttese, the same language spoken by Jabba the Hutt in Star Wars
Hm... The worms are not only far, far away from home, they are also time travellers. Because Star Wars are playin' in the far past, around the time the dinosaur were eliminated from earth surface...
Hello Whimsory. Just wanna say that you always do such a great job keeping us entertained and I really enjoy watching your reactions. Keep up the great work.
I can't tell which is more adorable, the freeze fame on the sneeze face, or the sound that followed. 🙃 "but he was so cute and naked." PMSL this is why we love Whimsory.
Yup; great observation. 😊 My own experience differs only slightly: I wasn't watching it. And then I was watching it and then I wasn't watching it. And then I was _rewatching_ it and then I wasn't watching it. And then I was rewatching it _again_ and then I wasn't watching it. And then... (You get the idea.)
0:34 Surprisingly, "Rip Torn" isn't a stage name. Torn is his actual surname, and "Rip" is a nickname that's traditional in his extended family (for obvious reasons).
here's the popcorn joke you wanted: One day, a man is strolling through an open-air market place. He stops at one of the live animal stalls and buys a chicken thinking that he will take it home, wring its neck, clean it and make a nice chicken stew for dinner. On his way home he passes a theater that is showing a movie that he has been wanting to see and he decides to go in. But when the woman at the box office sees the chicken she tells him, "Sir, animals are not allowed in the theater. You'll have to come back some other time." Well, now, this guy really wants to see the movie so he goes around the corner, stuffs the chicken down his pants then returns to the theater and buys his ticket. After he has taken a seat and the movie starts, the chicken starts to get restless, so the man unzips his pants to let the chicken get some air. The woman sitting next to him leans over to her husband and whispers, "Honey, the man next to me has his pants open!" Her husband tells her, "Just ignore him!" "But Honey! His thing is sticking out!" Again her husband says, "Ignore it! You've seen one before!" "But Honey!," she finally says, "This one's eating my popcorn!"
I went to see this film with friends the night it opened in 1997, back home where I used to live in Queens, NYC. Biggest roar of laughter for the whole movie was when J comments, "So the 1964 World's Fair was a cover for an alien landing?" and K responds, "Of course. Why else hold it in Queens?"
"Let her go sh*t eater" Cockroaches are coprophages, meaning ... well what K said. Moreover; this might be a reference to the 1996 _X Files_ episode "War of the Coprophages" _Men in Black_ was released in 1997, so it's possible.
00:20 Wow, that was the very sweetest sneeze I've ever seen. Please definately watch part 2 and 3, you gonna love it and your audience (incl. me) gonna love watching you watching it. Part 3 is my favourite. The 4th movie is a complete different ball game. I personally like it, even if it's a little over the top.
You know Whimsory there's nothing stopping you keeping a full watch along as a Patreon exclusive - no long outro, no YT edit. Lots of reactors do that for less popular films
Another solid reaction. Your reactions are always worth waiting for because of how thorough your outtro is. Keep up the great work and I'll be looking forward to your next post. 👍🤙😊
Something I didn't understand, until several re-watches is why J spat out the lemonaid. It was because there was no sugar in it as the alien ate all the sugar.
Hiya Whims, your reactions are on spot everytime... 00:20 that was the cutiest sneeze ever 🥰 28:23 no, I'm too attached to my family, I couldn't do it 😐 32:08 yes, both MiB2 and MiB3 are enjoyable movies......avoid at all cost the fourth.
Yes watch the next 2, lots of fun & answers some questions asked here. Favourite scenes; J's reaction to the pawn store owner's gun collection & saying he will be back to talk about the stolen goods & finding out his teacher was an alien, "I knew it".
Vincent D'Onofrio is a fantastic actor! He also played Kingpin in the "Daredevil" series on Netflix, and Pyle in Full Metal Jacket. He's the kind of guy that can do so many characters and roles that there's no way to type-cast him
Vincent D'Onofrio *main bad guy bug) was a human an alien TRYING to play a human. That's like 3 levels of acting. It's similar to the T1000 Terminator....a person playing a machine TRYING to play a person.
This is one of the most skilfully made movies in every way. Also one of the films that I like the most. And it's a movie you can watch again many times and it is still great and funny. :)
Keep doing what you’re doing! You have very expressive eyes, smile, voice & personality. Keep going on auditions and one day you’ll definitely get hired. Good luck.
I love the music video for this movie. Which so happens to include "Mikey". My favorite line IN the movie is: "This definitely rates about a 9.0 on my weird shit-o-meter."
Men in Black II & III are actually worth watching and reacting to. It's one of the few movies where the sequels actually don't suck. They may not be 'as good' as the first one, but they still manage to keep the same vibe, humor and atmosphere, which is a huge part of what made the first movie so good.
Another Sonnenfeld film franchise that made a big splash was "The Addams Family" films. You can see rhe shared DNA in the opening titles, and the fact that the guy playing the tall Arquillian also played Lurch the butler.
That movie you never heard of at 30:56, "The Full Monty", you should watch that one too. It's another comedy, so you'll probably like it. :) Only one other reactor has watched it and I really want more people to check it out.
It’s really interesting that you said “he could have given her brain damage” in your analysis and praised J for caring about that. The interesting part is that in fact it was never established that that was an actual possibility. But J’s concern about it made you feel positively towards him and therefore caused you to take that concern onboard as fact. It’s a technique that confidence tricksters like marketers, politicians and lawyers (oh and the illegal ones who just take peoples money) use all the time to influence people’s beliefs. They incept ideas and beliefs into people like that all the time.
Danny Elfman makes great movie music. I never would have though that the lead singer for Oingo Boingo would go on to have such a accomplished career scoring movies.
New to ur channel. Havent seen this one in forever...You made me remember that this film was actually a really fun watch. Thank you for the fun video. (more horror films soon 😊😊)
Practical effects were amazing in this movie! And yes! They were weird and scary sometimes! But that's how sci-fi and horror movies were back then! Every actor was unique and interesting especially the bug dude! 😂
I really enjoyed your reaction to Men in Black. I wanted to request, if you like 90s film, I recommend you check out The Matrix. It's marked one of the greatest films of all time
The, *_“MORE.”_* at 4:13 remains a common quote in my vocabulary any time someone is adding a topping or ingredient to any food. (Which just got better as soon as the Kylo Ren meme for a perfect follow-up of amplified intensity).
Man, I really like your movie reactions, Whimsory. 😊 I basically grew up in a video store. Seen so many movies. 🍿🎥 I agree about Will Smith, can’t picture anyone else doing the part justice. I won’t comment on the sequels. Only because my memory is like yours. J/k, but I can’t remember them. I just got done watching your Momento reaction. Ever seen “In Bruges”?, with Colin Farrell? Bit dark, but good. Anywho, cheers till next time.
What happened to Ivan? 😂 Omg I'm still laughing so hard at the "We Gave Him A Break!" cut, I had to pause bc !FINALLY! there is someone out there who understands my sense of humor 🤣
Thanks, Whimsory! 👽 The Greek Diner scene was shot in a (now defunct) restaurant in Manhattan called Florent. I shot a music video there and ate there a couple of times... so, it was a real treat to see it show up in this movie.
One of my favorite 90s Classics. I’m glad you enjoyed it.👌🏿😎🌴🌙 You definitely have to check out Men In Black the animated series. That was a classic, funny, adventurous series as well. 👌🏿 I think for your next movie reaction should be enemy of the state, another Will Smith, Gene Hackman film.
- so glad you dropped another reaction! You are a awesome reactor and love that you you missed these movies. Don’t make us wait so long for another watch!! Lol I know you must be busy
Vincent D'Onofrio's performance never gets enough praise. Tommy Lee Jones' dead pan delivery of lines is just brilliant.
Edgar the Bug is the most hilarious character in the movie imo
I couldn't believe he was that actor. He is amazingly versatile.
Everyone in this cast brought their A game.
wait, this is the fat guy from Full Metal Jacket!!
@@rgerber yep.

He had no reason to go that hard for a light-hearted comedy but by God he did and I love him for it.
Right? Haven’t seen a lot of his work, but he always seems to be great. A hidden gem of his is Happy Accidents with Marissa Tomei.

“A person is smart… People are dumb panicky animals”
Should be "A person _can_ be smart"
Best line in the movie, and she chose not to have it in her RUclips reaction :O. I must say, I was surprised.
@@8967Logan I know that’s why I had to add it in the comments 👍🏽
Oh! So mobs ain't that smart?

Ok now that squeak sneeze is gonna have to be a feature of your action figure one day.
That sneeze at 0:20 was the cutest sneeze I ever heard! 🥰
Hello Whimsory. Just wanna say that you always do such a great job keeping us entertained and I really enjoy watching your reactions. Keep up the great work.

0:34 Surprisingly, "Rip Torn" isn't a stage name. Torn is his actual surname, and "Rip" is a nickname that's traditional in his extended family (for obvious reasons).
By the time this movie came out I was already a huge fan of Rip Torn from his work in The Larry Sanders Show. I loved his character Artie.
here's the popcorn joke you wanted:
One day, a man is strolling through an open-air market place. He stops at one of the live animal stalls and buys a chicken thinking that he will take it home, wring its neck, clean it and make a nice chicken stew for dinner.
On his way home he passes a theater that is showing a movie that he has been wanting to see and he decides to go in. But when the woman at the box office sees the chicken she tells him, "Sir, animals are not allowed in the theater. You'll have to come back some other time."
Well, now, this guy really wants to see the movie so he goes around the corner, stuffs the chicken down his pants then returns to the theater and buys his ticket.
After he has taken a seat and the movie starts, the chicken starts to get restless, so the man unzips his pants to let the chicken get some air.
The woman sitting next to him leans over to her husband and whispers, "Honey, the man next to me has his pants open!"
Her husband tells her, "Just ignore him!" "But Honey! His thing is sticking out!"
Again her husband says, "Ignore it! You've seen one before!" "But Honey!," she finally says, "This one's eating my popcorn!"
Just remember: the question, "Will Will Smith smith?" and its answer, "Will Smith will smith" are both grammatically correct.
"Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" is also a grammatically correct sentence.
We were so lucky with some films back in the day. Absolutel classic I can't wait to show my kids.
I went to see this film with friends the night it opened in 1997, back home where I used to live in Queens, NYC.
Biggest roar of laughter for the whole movie was when J comments, "So the 1964 World's Fair was a cover for an alien landing?" and K responds, "Of course. Why else hold it in Queens?"

_Men in Black_ was released in 1997, so it's possible.
Your outros are great to watch and the awards are always a highlight--clever and funny. Thanks for another great reaction.
Your reaction was great, and I loved your editing! My favorite part was easily the discussion afterwards. I was laughing my ass off. Thank you!
00:20 Wow, that was the very sweetest sneeze I've ever seen. Please definately watch part 2 and 3, you gonna love it and your audience (incl. me) gonna love watching you watching it.

Ikr I've never heard a sneeze like that before 😂
@@Lemon_Force Whee choo!
Her reactions are nothing to sneeze at.
Sorry.
Yeah, 2 and 3 are excellent. Personally 3 is my favorite
Fun reaction video. I watched this in the theater when I was turning 17. Time flies like this movie.
Vincent D'Onofrio is such a good actor, and I think this is one of his best performances. He steals the show for me.
You know Whimsory there's nothing stopping you keeping a full watch along as a Patreon exclusive - no long outro, no YT edit. Lots of reactors do that for less popular films

0:20 did you say "WEE-CHOO" ?! That's awesome :)
Great movie and great reaction! I liked the mix you put at the end!
Thanks!
Thank you so much!! I truly appreciate your kindness! ☺️
I like Whimsory's reactions.
7:35 They didn't give them desks. That was the test.
Something I didn't understand, until several re-watches is why J spat out the lemonaid. It was because there was no sugar in it as the alien ate all the sugar.
I always thought it was just because she made terrible lemonade! No sugar...makes sense.
@@mikejankowski6321 That's what I thought too the first times I watch. Then it hit me.
at the news stand, where to dog was introduced, the ghoulish man was Rick Baker, who did the visual effects
Hiya Whims, your reactions are on spot everytime...
00:20 that was the cutiest sneeze ever 🥰
28:23 no, I'm too attached to my family, I couldn't do it 😐

Incredible performance by D'Onofrio in this - guy's an amazing actor.
Yeah, but a terrible Marine. ;)
@@IggyStardust1967 A good shot though...yikes.
Law ane Order: SVU always got touted but I watched every episode of Criminal Intent because of Vincent D'Onofrio!!!
The Edgar suit was also so fascinating to me. That actor played that so well
Vincent D'Onofrio is a fantastic actor! He also played Kingpin in the "Daredevil" series on Netflix, and Pyle in Full Metal Jacket. He's the kind of guy that can do so many characters and roles that there's no way to type-cast him
What an absolutely excellent reaction 🙂

Siobhan Fallon (Beatrice) spent a season as a cast member on SNL as well as playing school bus driver Dorothy in “Forrest Gump”.
You will no doubt get recommendations for the sequels and that's kind of a mixed bag. This really is the best of the best of the best.
This is one of the most skilfully made movies in every way. Also one of the films that I like the most. And it's a movie you can watch again many times and it is still great and funny. :)

Well done recommending this to our Whimsory. Knew she would like the bug.
whim's purple outfit is fire!
Great Reaction and Analysis as always Whimsory! Love each of your videos
"Don't flash her TOO many times."
Another classic/innocent quote from Whimsory.
This movie was the first movie I have ever seen on a DVD disk.And wow the picture was extremely extremely clear
I love the music video for this movie. Which so happens to include "Mikey". My favorite line IN the movie is: "This definitely rates about a 9.0 on my weird shit-o-meter."
The Full Monty is a comedy that you NEED to watch. It's about an ironworker in Ireland/Britain trying to raise money to keep his son with him.
00:34 If only there was a movie starring Pierce Brosnan, Rip Torn, and William Hurt 😂
Men in Black II & III are actually worth watching and reacting to. It's one of the few movies where the sequels actually don't suck. They may not be 'as good' as the first one, but they still manage to keep the same vibe, humor and atmosphere, which is a huge part of what made the first movie so good.
"Awkward and quirky while intelligent and thoughtful." Oh, kinda like our favorite reactor. 😉
Love your reviews and personality.
Another Sonnenfeld film franchise that made a big splash was "The Addams Family" films. You can see rhe shared DNA in the opening titles, and the fact that the guy playing the tall Arquillian also played Lurch the butler.
I couldn't place Lurch in this movie but I knew he looked familiar! Thank you!
That movie you never heard of at 30:56, "The Full Monty", you should watch that one too. It's another comedy, so you'll probably like it. :) Only one other reactor has watched it and I really want more people to check it out.
I second this. The late Tom Wilkinson amonst others in a hilarious and touching story.
"weee! choo." ha ha, the cutest sneeze ever.
I like the sneeze remix at the end. 😊
Nobody ever thinks about it but you could party all ya want off planet.

0:18 Dammit, just 20 seconds in and I had to hit the like button already, thanks for the lulz!
Very cool movie, always loved Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith's dynamic in this, they got great chemistry
I get so excited when I find a new reaction channel! Let's go!
2 & 3 managed to stay good, while 4 was less popular, it was fine. I think there was a cartoon too.
Oh, The Full Monty? Also a really good movie! You should watch.
Thanks, Whimsory! 👽 The Greek Diner scene was shot in a (now defunct) restaurant in Manhattan called Florent. I shot a music video there and ate there a couple of times... so, it was a real treat to see it show up in this movie.
Whoa, now you need to check out “The Full Monty” - a classic!
the full monty is a very good movie, so good that disney brought it back forva mini series on disney +.
You didn't let the movie play out and see our galaxy/marble was just one of many other marbles in a alien's sack !
Pause
"a aliens sack"
Hi whimsory hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
One of my favorite 90s Classics. I’m glad you enjoyed it.👌🏿😎🌴🌙
You definitely have to check out Men In Black the animated series. That was a classic, funny, adventurous series as well. 👌🏿
I think for your next movie reaction should be enemy of the state, another Will Smith, Gene Hackman film.
Out of remaining parts of "Man in Black" only "Man in Black: International" is pretty good.
Ty👍
- so glad you dropped another reaction! You are a awesome reactor and love that you you missed these movies. Don’t make us wait so long for another watch!! Lol I know you must be busy
