Johnny Mnemonic Redux Shock!

So for my birthday we watched Minority Report and I was kind of surprised that one of its big SFX centrepieces was ripped from the terrible Keanu Reeves Johnny Mnemonic (“Johnny Moronic”) movie from a few year ago. The whole hologram manipulation via datagloves using exaggerated mime-type actions that Tom Cruise uses was done in JM by Keanu Reeves when he accessed “cyberspace”.

After that we went to Green’s for a nice meal-with-a-view (no fog!) then hung out for a while in Casanova’s.

We also baked a passable Black Forest Gateaux. Although this initially presented problems until Lisa figured out that few Americans actually know what gateaux means. It was crumbly, but the icing held it together. I intend to attempt this again sometime, this time with the full-on cream frenzy!
