His "I WANT ROOM SERVICE!" rant is one I have * mostly * memorized and I go into it when I'm overly stressed and I know the only way out is through. It's something that even during the hardest times can give me a moment to laugh at... and when I've done it with whoever is going through that time with me generally takes us out of the moment, even if just for a moment.

[@fangsabre]

@Drew Taylor partially, Johny Silverhand is also a character from the Cyberpunk tabletop RPG that the game is based

[@artistwithouttalent]

Whoa.

[@D0cSwiss]

Funnily enough, Johnny Silverhand is the 7th character Reeves will voice who's named John. (Johnny Utah in Point Break, Jonathan Harker in the '92 adpation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, Johnny Mnemonic, John Constantine, John in Generation Um... (which is really bad, don't watch it) and John Wick are the other ones he's played) Maybe 8 if you count him playing Don John in the '93 adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing.

[@SarahSyna]

One thing I loved about Molly in Neuromancer (haven't read Johnny Mnemonic) is that she's sort of the the codifier for a trope that ended up being seen as very male, this anti-hero 'street samurai' with a tragic past and motivated by the death of a lover. I also really enjoyed how her cybernetics didn't look pretty or appealing, the lenses are actually kinda freaky.

[@shepard1175]

I've read that trope for so many women that when I see a cool samurai women I know she lost a lover

[@SarahSyna]

[@franohmsford7548]

"a trope that ended up being seen as very male, " This is actually easy to explain - Cyberpunk and Shadowrun RPG Players were overwhelmingly Male aged between 13 and 30 in an era where playing a female character was seen by many as admitting to being well you know. - So of course most played Male Characters and the Street Samurai was especially the choice of the more shall we say "Macho Wannabes". - It's just like why the Conan style Barbarian was so common amongst D&D players.

I sometimes imagine a world where Johnny Mnemonic was a good movie and it ushered in a great era of William Gibson based movies and tv shows. Unfortunately that never happened.....

[@Jikkuryuu]

Johnny's breakdown rant is one of my favourite acting moments, unironically. He's kind of a jerk for most/all of the movie, he's the guy walking though a ragged mob while wearing a tux, he's saving money to get out of the business while staying at classy hotels. When he nearly dies from a flaming car dropped on him by a couple of goofs he just loses it. Johnny howls out just how completely out of place he is in this whole life and death, save the world adventure. This has been the worst day (XX? hours) of his life and he throws an honest to goodness tantrum like the snooty, lip-curling, privileged 5% that he is. And then he's done. Like lancing a boil and letting all the ichor jet out until it's empty. Both he and the audience enter the final act of the movie scoured and ready.

[@sreckocuvalo8110]

If you can, track down the Japanese home video cut of the movie. The Japanese distributors were allowed to make their own cut of the movie and they chose to include a fair number of deleted scenes, most of them involving the Japanese actors in the movie. As a side benefit, this also alters the tone of the movie substantially and brings it more in line with Gibson and Longo's original vision. Not quite a Director's Cut, but very much worth a watch.

LOVE Johnny Mnemonic! Classic 90s film!

[@marcosantos4297]

I accidently walk onto the set of Johnny Mnemonic. I was out for a walk near Toronto's Union Station. I walked into the station to get to the subway and suddenly found myself surrounded by an epic set piece, with hospital gurneys strewn about and huge shafts of light coming in from the station's high windows. And it was completely deserted! Not a soul in sight! I walked around and checked out the details of the entire set all by myself. There was a food kiosk section in the middle of the set that was especially detailed. There was actual toast in a toaster BEHIND the counter where the camera couldn't even see it. The whole thing was gorgeous! And maybe...MAYBE...only 5% of it ended up on screen. Eventually an extra popped out from behind a wall in the distance. I asked him what was going on and he said everybody was on break (including, apparently, all the security people). The next day at my job pouring coffee, a customer mentioned to me that he was working as an extra on a film down at Union Station called Johnny Mnemonic. I freaked! I had read the story a couple of years earlier and was still a total cyberpunk junkie at the time. You can imagine my letdown at seeing the finished product.

Despite what a lot of people say, this movie was actually pretty close to the short story. Sure, names were changed, characters and situations were added, but the general idea is still very much alive in this adaptation. I'll never understand why this movie bombed in the theaters, although I still dont understand why people don't like the Super Mario Bros movie as far as it being a weird and innovative flick rather than a true adaptation, so take my opinion with a whole fist full of salt. I love this movie, enjoyed William Gibson's short story, and even liked the FMV game on PC that was an exact retelling of this story with all different actors (Issac Hayes as J-Bone was awesome). Always enjoyed your work, Dom. This is no exception. Too bad I got to it so late. Thumbs up, bro.

[@itsdantaylor]

My favorite fact I learned about William Gibson is that despite being a influential sci fi writer........he didn't have that much of a grasp of technology at the time. It is once said when he finally bought a computer he immediately took it back and complained about the noise it was making. The person at the store had to tell him 'The noise is the fan, it needs it to work'. William seemed to write his sci fi based on how he FELT technology should work rather then a extensive working knowledge which is kind of inspiring. I think that's why his work is so entertaining to read. Many approach sci fi from a place of knowledge of science of technology but Gibson seemed to approach it from a standpoint of how much he loved the IDEA of technology and science and just RAN with it.
