J and K the Men in Black
Context
Men in Black was a popular 1997 sci-fi comedy movie with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. I took these notes not too long after release, back when the movie was still fresh in the Earthling’s consciousness.
They play with the movie’s “highest top secret” schtick, so in the end it’s mostly stats. Which might not be the best now that the movie was 20+ years ago…
