Johnny Mnemonic
Directed by Robert Longo
In a dystopian 2021, Johnny is a data trafficker who has an implant that allows him to securely store data too sensitive for regular computer networks. On one delivery run, he accepts a package that not only exceeds the implant's safety limits—and will kill him if the data is not removed in time—but also contains information far more important and valuable than he had ever imagined. On a race against time, he must… From TMDB

(which came out in 1981, long before the movie) Internet also lead me to "Day of the Dolphin" (1973), but that seems like maybe coincidental, since the movie isn't very respected...

neutral · AI labelView post →The correct answer is District 9. However, I find I'm often disappointed by sequels to great movies. I feel like there are far more mediocre movies that failed to fully explore the depths of a good concept, where a sequel (perhaps in a different genre) would retroactivel make the first movie better. For that, I also choose Johnny Mnemonic. Also, In Time, Elysium, or Chappie. I also think now would be a great time for a Galaxy Quest sequel. There's a lot of fertile sci-fi tropes that…

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched the 1995 cheeseball cyberpunk flick Johnny Mnemonic. It's a cornball classic, and is sort of like Demolition Man meets the 90s Super Mario Bros. movie. Reeves' acting is... interesting lol Overall it's a fun time if you just enjoy the silliness. Made me want to play Cyberpunk 2077 again lol
positive · AI labelView post →Freejack checks all the boxes of a cyberpunk movie... but I still find it boring. On paper, Freejack sounds like the perfect cyberpunk movie. The rich have their consciousness uploaded onto a server when they die. They then pull someone's body from the past into the future so they can download their consciousness into that body and continue living. The corporations are in control, there's a massive rich/poor divide, etc. Yet in execution, I just find the movie boring. It might be due to…

neutral · AI labelView post →100% agree with this review. I watched Johnny Mnemonic again over Christmas, and it is that rare film about technology that has aged like a fine wine, not turned to vinegar. Which absolutely caught me off guard.

neutral · AI labelView post →I can’t articulate this really, beyond saying I think it would sit well next to Johnny Mnemonic (if you understand that I think Johnny Mnemonic is a good movie). I will say some of the humor isn’t to my taste but I think that’s more on me, it went over great with the crowd.
positive · AI labelView post →I unironically enjoy the movie Johnny Mnemonic. I love the 90s view of a tech-noir future and at the time it gave me what I wanted from a cyberpunk world. Chad Stahelski should direct a reboot and make it full-on cyberpunk; flying cars, run-down city, the entire shit and kaboodle.

neutral · AI labelView post →Keanu was big. Bill & Ted was iconic, after that he was in Point Break, a fairly successful action flick and Speed was massive. Yeah he did some more niche stuff like Johnny Mnemonic, but makes me think he makes more sense for something like the Matrix. Will Smith opted for Wild Wild West over Matrix, which obviously wasn't a success, but fit with the kinds of movies he was doing at the time. Makes sense for a guy to go from Speed to Johnny Mnemonic to the Matrix, and it also makes sense for…

Spoke eloquently of the inherently cyberpunk experience of transition and the disparities and parallels between the nascent genre and our present dystopia.
neutral · AI labelView post →Forgot to mention - ended up seeing JOHNNY MNEMONIC IN BLACK AND WHITE with a friend last week, followed by a Q&A with director Robert Longo afterwards. The movie holds up a hell of a lot better w/ this new visual take on it. Still not a total masterpiece, but I was blown away from start to finish.

Great soundtrack, fun cameos, several interesting ideas. - [Johnny Mnemonic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Mnemonic_(film)) (1995) - the best really bad cyberpunk movie. A very fun watch, if you're sufficiently protected from cringeing to death. Apparently there's a [2022 black and white…

positive · AI labelView post →Three Hollywood movies were released in 1995 with internet themes: Johnny Mnemonic, The Net, and Hackers. In this post I also look back at William Gibson's now extinct mid-90s website & the equally lost to time Johnny Mnemonic net.hunt. cybercultural.com/p/cyberspace... #InternetHistory #90smovies

Tonight's flick was "Johnny Mnemonic" in black and white as the director originally envisioned it, followed by a Q&A with the director himself. It was my 1st time seeing the film, which at this point feels like retrofuturism.

Not a joke, just a movie quote and words of advice from J-Bone ([Johnny Mnemonic](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113481/)).

positive · AI labelView post →Movie Night with the gang this week was Johnny Mnemonic in Black and White, which honestly DOES feel from toe to tip how the movie was always intended. The shot composition was clearly made for it and the special effects hold up much better this way. It's also just an insanely relatable film.
