Their job is to suppress evidence of UFOs and make sure that aliens visiting Earth behave themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Boris The Animal (Jemaine Clement) is a very bad alien whom Agent K arrested long ago. He is being held in a super-super-maximum security prison on the Moon, but at the start of the movie he breaks out and goes after Agent K. More specifically he gets a time-travel device, goes back to 1969 and kills Agent K before he can arrest him.<\/p>\n<p>This leads Agent J to travel back to 1969 (a time when alien influence on our culture was at its height) in order to thwart him. There he meets the young Agent K (Josh Brolin) who seems much more voluble. And that&#8217;s pretty much it: a setup for elaborate comedic riffs on aliens, time travel and pop culture. And there&#8217;s an excellent ending which I found highly satisfying.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The main thing that you need to know about Men in Black 3 is that it is every bit as funny as the original Men in Black (1997) and much&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/bugfox.net\/fun\/2012\/05\/28\/men-in-black-3-movie-review\/\">Read more &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[515],"class_list":["post-7603","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-movies","tag-men-in-black"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugfox.net\/fun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7603","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugfox.net\/fun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugfox.net\/fun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugfox.net\/fun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugfox.net\/fun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7603"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/bugfox.net\/fun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7603\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7607,"href":"https:\/\/bugfox.net\/fun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7603\/revisions\/7607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugfox.net\/fun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7603"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugfox.net\/fun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7603"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugfox.net\/fun\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7603"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
