(3:06:06 PM) My coworker: WHAT WHAT WHAT
(3:06:23 PM) My coworker: i didn't even know they were making a movie!!!!
(3:06:24 PM) My coworker: OMG
(3:06:35 PM) Me: You didn't know? They announced it, um
(3:06:38 PM) Me: in 1988?
(3:06:39 PM) My coworker: and to find out that they are making it with the worst imaginable actor as Case!!!!
(3:06:47 PM) My coworker: i'm pissed now
(3:06:56 PM) Me: Let's see, how old was Christiansen back then
(3:06:59 PM) My coworker: 1988 - are you fucking with me here
(3:07:24 PM) Me: That's how long this project has been "in the works"
(3:07:46 PM) Me: You might recall the (actually pretty fun) 8088* computer game called Neuromancer and based on the book!
(3:08:05 PM) My coworker: i do not recall it actually
(3:08:11 PM) Me: That product proudly claimed "soon to be a movie!" and it was being talked about.
(3:08:15 PM) My coworker: it appears that posters at imdb agree with our assesment
(3:08:18 PM) My coworker: haha
(3:08:23 PM) Me: In places other than box covers I mean.
(3:08:31 PM) Me: Yeah
(3:08:51 PM) Me: In the meantime, in a short 20 years, cyberpunk has basically gone extinct.
(3:09:03 PM) Me: so, hit while the anvil is hot or whatever

*According to this it was released for the c64, Amiga, and Apple ][. I played it on an epson equity 8088, though.
