Name: Barry Sonnenfeld's Intergalactic Guide to Comedy
Genre: Documentary, Short
Duration: 6 min
Rating: 4.8
Cast: Barry Fanaro, Tommy Lee Jones, Laurie MacDonald

This 6 minute featurette on how Barry Sonnenfeld approaches comedy for "Men in Black 2" can be found on the second disc of the 2-DVD special edition of the aforementioned movie. you know what? I should have put the word comedy in quotation marks, as the only thing Barry ever did that even approaches real comedy would be "Get Shorty" but that's neither here nor there. Back to the topic at hand. This short featurette includes various interviews with cast and crew about how "deadpan funny", "genious", and "great" Barry is. This feature made me ill and I couldn't wait for it to be over. And he pretends that the audience is so great for "finding" the "hidden" funny bits. Do they really hold the audience in such contempt??
