So there's a Neuromancer trailer out and it's exactly the necrophiliac snore you'd expect it to be. I already watched this show when it was called Altered Carbon, and it sucked. Nobody listens to me, but the only way to make this work was to have gone full Lisa Frankenstein. How is Jared Leto not in this? It has that Leto Stink on it. We could have had a second season of The Peripheral instead of this. https://jwz.org/b/yk92

@jwz@mastodon.social If I’m ever alone in a room with the person responsible for cancelling The Peripheral I’m gonna do something morally questionable.

@jwz@mastodon.social omg that trailer feels so sad. I couldn't even bring myself to sully the altered carbon book with the TV show. guess I'm going to be bringing the same energy to neuromancer

@jwz@mastodon.social Mh. I was excited for both Altered Carbon and The Peripheral, and disappointed by both. i still believe Johnny Mnemonic to be the best version of it all, just because of its weirdness.

@jwz@mastodon.social It’s a pity we never got the Chris Cunningham Neuromancer that was floated in the 90s

@jwz@mastodon.social Terrible trailer. Leto would indeed fit right in, but at least they somehow found a Christian Slater look-alike for the lead, we need to give them that.

@jwz@mastodon.social Well shit… I don’t watch trailers, so haven’t seen this, but was hoping for the same quality as The Peripheral. Neuromancer has been optioned for so long I guess I can at least be happy Gibson is finally getting a payday.
