Starting a movie without a finished screenplay is one of the dumbest things you can do, especially with a director like Sonenfeld. That guy's a real-life Woodie Allen routine.

Sometimes that shit works. Troubled productions gave us Apocalypse Now, Blade Runner and Brazil. Also, Heaven's Gate, Alien 3 and apparently Green Lantern.

For the record, I didn't hate MIB 2, aside from the incredibly stupid plot stuff in the second half. The weird / awkward comedy made up to me for that, tho. I dunno why, but watching Will Smith try to fight his way off those plastic tubes for five minutes made me laugh. It just did. I've only seen it a few times, but each time I found myself wondering if that was done on purpose of if he just couldn't get the fuck off them and never broke character, thinking he was just clowning around for the crew at that point in what was obviously going to be a bad take... but then they used that take. It's also the only time I've ever laughed at that dude from the Daily Show.
