   Johnny Mnemonic did have that degree of charm to it, and I honestly didn't   
   hate New Rose Hotel, though it tends not to get the same amount of love.   
   I more meant that the general consensus I've seen is that his full length   
   novels are widely said to be unfit to be portrayed as a cinematic work,   
   which I hope is more of a temporary limitation of our cinematography   
   methods than it is a permanent situation.   
      
   That said, if anything's gonna work out well on film I could see it being   
   his more recent work. It'll absolutely lose out on a good chunk,   
   considering the amount of internal thought he narrates, as well as his   
   painstaking descriptive writing, but personally I think that's a risk I'm   
   willing to take.
