And this is why the FAQ recomends people quote a least a bit of the
post they're replying to. (For those of you just joining us, I believe
the movie in question is Demolition Man).
I suppose I'll have to pick up Demolition Man and watch it sometime...
In fact, I just watched Johnny Mnemonic this week, because it's a good
Shadowrun 'mood' film. The only problem I have with it is that since
much of shadowrun's cyberpunk is ripped off of the works of Gibson,
the movie is hauntingly familiar, yet jarringly discordant in some
places. (I get much the same effect when I compare the works of Anne
Rice to White Wolf's Vampire game.)
What films does everyone include on their list of Shadowrun films? The
top one on my list is the very first Die Hard movie. In fact, I put it
on during the character creation session if I'm introducing any
newbies to the game. The bad guys in Die Hard a good example of how
runners do what they do.
