Yeah, I imagined the Gherrit White stuff as similar. Those are at least as dream-like as the Infinity segments. That's an interesting way of doing it. With good editing, it could turn out really well. It would probably confuse the hell out of the audience, too. I don't think people expect stuff like that from sci-fi.
Ever seen the movie Pi? The MiB story makes me think of that. The last half of the movie was pretty stupid, actually, but it's got that similar crazy guy/noir feel to me.
: 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.
