Men In Black 3 (5 Stars)


I've always liked girls with big guns. Unfortunately, Lilly Poison doesn't get very far. She's betrayed by the man she loves after freeing him from prison. There must be a motto to that. It's worth watching the film twice in one week just to see the brief appearance of Nicole Scherzinger in her only film role so far. I hope there will be many more.


Last time I watched the film I neglected to mention Griffin, a five-dimensional alien being who can see all possible futures. He's a cool character who wears a woolly hat whatever the temperature. He doesn't wear a black suit, but he still does his bit to save the world.


There's a scene which briefly shows a newspaper with an article about the launch of Apollo 11 on 16th June 1969. Supposedly. The headline is about the mission, and it's a photo of Buzz Aldrin, but what's the article about. You can click on the picture to enlarge it, but here's a transcript to help you.

(Paragraph 1) Future plans will, of necessity, have great bearing on the situation as it now stands. Decisions will have to be made of the actual planning of the project will take considerable time but it is felt that these steps are very important.

(Paragraph 2) The facts regarding the situation remain the same, state the authorities. Details concerning the action have been given a preliminary investigation but it is felt that only by a more detailed study will the true facts become known.

(Paragraph 3) Thus at this conference all our governments found themselves in unanimous agreement regarding this undertaking. Arrangements for dealing with questions and disputes between the republics were further improved.

(Paragraph 2 repeated)

(Paragraph 3 repeated)

(Paragraph 4) Of no less importance was the common recognition shown of the fact that any menace from without to the peace of our continents concerns all of us and therefore property is a subject for consultation and cooperation. This was reflected in the instruments adopted by the conference.

(Paragraph 5) A suggestion that public hearings on applications be limited to one every six months was taken under advisement by the commission.

(Paragraph 2 repeated)

(Paragraph 6) Many persons feel at this stage that some legal action is forthcoming but it now becomes common knowledge that there is pressure from the inside which will materially change the aspect of the case.

(Paragraph 3 repeated)

(Paragraph 4 repeated)

(Paragraph 5 repeated)

(Paragraph 2 repeated)

(Paragraph 6 repeated)

(Paragraph 4 repeated)

(Paragraph 7) An immediate investigation is assured and indications are that some new light will be shed on the situation in the near future. Available facts seem vague but authorities feel that time will disclose some means of arriving at a solution.

(Paragraph 1 repeated)



To sum up: the article has nothing to do with Apollo 11, and even the incorrect text is repeated ad nauseam. That's sloppy.
