In Response To: Re: Movie (John Denton)

: To really be complete, it should include those Jjaro level terminal texts as
: part of the action, with the guy trying to escape from the men in black
: suits (perhaps as dreams or waking flashbacks of the marine). Now that
: would be weird.

Yeah, I would probably have the dream sequences consist entirely of those MiB stories, perhaps prefaced by some sort of voiceover of the Electric Sheep texts. Here's an interesting way of combining this with making the time travel thing a bit more obvious:

The SO is doing whatever it is he is doing at the end of a given timeline, when suddenly time stops. Everything around him freezes, and a mysterious voice speaks cryptic thoughts as the SO wanders about his surreal, frozen environment, following the voice, looking for it's source. Eventually he wanders into the environment of the MiB texts as the voice finishes, the once-waking world and the dream world blending together seamlessly, his manner of dress changing between camera shots as well (I'm assuming we'll have seen the SO's face in the movies up to this point), out of his armor and into casual clothes. He walks through the dream, and then at the end of it, closes his eyes and wakes up - back in the waking world, in another timeline, disoriented and wondering WTF just happened.

It would also be nice to involve dream sequences in the earlier movies too. Instead of reading about Gherrit White and the Eternal Champion of the KYT term, he could be resting at some break in the action and actually dream these things. Would make a nice lead-in to the stop-time dream sequences of the Infinity movie too.
