I imagined the Chatsubo in 1984. 41 years later I opened its door. Neuromancer is in production.

@LillyHerself Wow... next shot should be the bartender with the badly made Russian cybernetic arm
@LillyHerself That was a good workout for my speakers... 😁

@LillyHerself @s_ol Bread and circuses.

/me ducks rotten fruit.

@akkartik Is there an emoji for /ducks neutron bomb? 🤔

@s_ol

@LillyHerself Holy Moley!!! I am sooooo waiting for this!!
@LillyHerself @briankrebs I feel like this could only disappoint. Hopefully it won’t be Netflix Cowboy Bebop level crash and burn.

@slyborg @LillyHerself @briankrebs

Please do not remind me about this train wreck. My son was exposed to Cowboy Bebop by this instead of the original Anime and I went "nooooooooo pleaaase give it another chance."

@michaelguntsche I think they did a pretty good job of The Peripheral.

@LillyHerself
Can we hope that Amazon is not involved this time, and won't kill it after one season like they did to The Peripheral to spite SAG/AFTRA?
@DenOfEarth Gibson himself is producing it in partnership with Apple TV.
I sure would have liked to see a few more episodes of The Peripheral, but I think the covid pandemic's peak played a role too in it getting squashed, and I have wondered about there being a transwoman character made it politically impossible in today's repressive climate in the US.

@LillyHerself
Sadly, you're not wrong.

Apple+ has been doing some good shows lately including Severance and Slow Horses so this bodes well.

Thanks for the info.

@DenOfEarth @LillyHerself And Murderbot!
@whybird @LillyHerself
I'm watching that right now!!
Also Long Way Home!
@DenOfEarth @LillyHerself
Kind of relieved they ended it. The «Matrix-mojo» adaptation was a very sad surprise for me and both the books and the audience deserved better.
@LillyHerself
If this is on the same level as the Sin City adaption, I am a happy camper.
@LillyHerself @sp1ndrift that's the deciding factor for Apple TV then!

@LillyHerself

It is happening!

Woohoo!

@astroPug They have apparently finished shooting and it's gone into post-production. W00T!
