Well, I would either do that or ask for an autograph, because Jones is quite the actor, or at least quite the charisma who, when teamed up with Will Smith's charisma, helps in making for one fun film. At the very least, I was expecting a scene in which Agent M startles and gets blown away by an armed Agent J, not necessarily because would be mistaken for an alien, but because a sneaking Tommy Lee Jones' face would freak me out to the point of triggering fight-or-flight response too. I kept waiting for that one sequence in which a mothership touches down and releases the leader of Jones' Agent M character's race, Richard Nixon, who then proceeds to exchange with M the trademark symbol for the Nixonians, that two-finger wave thing. No, now that I think about it, I shouldn't have been confused, not just because Tommy Lee Jones is about as black as Will Smith is, but because Tommy Lee Jones must be a special figure in this agency, seeing as how he's a man in black, even though he himself is an alien, or at least looks like one. Oh no, wait, Jones is teaching Smith, I just got confused because I figured that this agency's ranking system was built around how much black was on a man, in which case, Smith would decidedly outrank Jones. Okay, now, I'm willing to buy this premise about a secret agency that combats and osbscures alien lifeforms, but really, I find it a touch hard to fully buy into a young buck like Will Smith being the one who trains an older dude like Tommy Lee Jones.
