Broadcasting live from Putin's butthole.

I have a correction and an omission. The film wasn't necessarily set in 2022. It said the catastrophic natural disasters started in 2019, but it presumably would have been a few years to actually make Dutch Boy. So it could have been set in 2024 or 2028. I'm surprised nobody brought up the Geostorm ad that said JFK predicted it in 1961, then shows footage of his saying "We shall propose a global system of satellites for weather control." This is actually edited footage from a speech he gave at the UN in 61, in which he proposes nations work together for weather prediction and control, then later says a global system of satellites for communications.

So why is the film called Johnny Mnemonic? It makes it seem like that's his name, but at no point is he called anything other than just Johnny. Its not even a nickname or anything like that. Anyway, I think it is fascinating how he has no redeeming qualities. He just cares about money and hookers, and not all the people dying. He constantly tries to give the data to the bad guys, and even at the end he's only helping the good guys since they are the only ones who will take the data out without killing him. He's not even good at his job. If he were really such a professional, the instant he heard that it would be too much data, he would just leave and drop the job.
