   Standing in the dark, rainy shadows of a city alleyway, I spied the   
   Replicant SanFrancisco2019 covertly transmitting a message to renegade   
   friends in alt.fan.blade-runner.  Tracking...

   TV show "Tomorrow Calling" based on "The Gernsback Continuum".  I know   
   I read the short story (in "Burning Chrome") and I have the feeling I   
   saw the TV show when originally aired, but I can't quite grasp any   
   specific memories of that, just vague feelings - perhaps it happened   
   in an alternate reality...   
      
   FYI, as I've mentioned before, Johnny Mnemonic the game was better   
   than Johnny Mnemonic the movie.   
      
   Oh and we are aware aren't we that "Pattern Recognition" is "being   
   made" - i.e. falls into that category of I'll believe it when I see   
   it...   
      
   Neuromancer, OTOH, has actually got a director attached.  Although I   
   think when I heard who it was I was deeply unimpressed.  In short, I   
   don't think there are going to be any good films based on Gibson's   
   work out any time soon.   
      
   That does bring forward one something that I'm interested in - do you   
   like Gibson in Cyberpunk era, or, like Pattern Recognition, his "Okay   
   the future has arrived now, so I'll write about the present" stuff?   
   And which would you rather watch movies about?
