HEY, WHO’S UP FOR A MEN IN BLACK-21 JUMP STREET CROSSOVER MOVIE? Having already ruined our memories of the original Ghostbusters with its upcoming train wreck feminist remake, Sony is next set to taint all of the good will engendered by the original Men In Black movie: “The surprise may have been ruined in Sony’s hack fiasco last year, but insiders tell Variety the studio is indeed planning a ‘23 Jump Street’-‘Men in Black’ crossover movie.”

And of course:

Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum will return to reprise their roles as Jenko and Schmidt, respectively. The two are also producing. As for Agent Jay and Agent Kay, execs have already made it clear Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones will not be reprising the roles they made famous as the studio looks to use this film to relaunch the franchise with younger, fresher faces.

Not to mention cheaper faces as well, who won’t argue about how bad the script is, because they’re happy to actually be working.

As the late Robert Conquest specified in his third law of politics, “The simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies.” You almost think that the hackers really do have the inside dope on the Sony executives and are forcing them to release these horrid remakes as some sort of extortion scheme, ala Monty Python’s old “Blackmail” sketch.
