Movie Stuff.

Finally got around to watching "Johhny Mnemonic". I downloaded it in a fit of boredom a while ago, and its been just sitting there ever since.

So, my observations are:

1) Its just as bad a movie as everyone said. The sad part is that the story it was based on was, IMHO, better than Neuromancer. Why does it seem that everything Gibson has written was worse than what came before?
2) I now understand all those jokes about the acting/thinking ability of Keanu Reeves. Yeesh!

But I always thought the role was perfect for Reeves. The guy is *supposed* to seem stiff and inhuman because he's had his early memories removed, and Reeves achieves the effect effortlessly.
