Things are a bit rough for me right now, to put it diplomatically. Thankfully, the good Lord must have seen my predicament and decided to grace me with discovering one of the greatest (and 100% real) movie posters of all time:



Thanks, God. You're a champ.

In order to get at the info that's stored in his head, Johnny needs the help of a hacker. The hacker in question is Jones, a war-trained cyborg druggie dolphin who lives in a very small tank up in the tower the LoTeks call their own.

Here's his intro text from the Gibson short story the movie was based on:
He was more than a dolphin, but from another dolphin's point of view he might have seemed like something less. I watched him swirling sluggishly in his galvanized tank. Water slopped over the side, wetting my shoes. He was surplus from the last war. A cyborg.

He rose out of the water, showing us the crusted plates along his sides, a kind of visual pun, his grace nearly lost under armor, clumsy and prehistoric. Twin deformities on either side of his skull had been engineered to house sensor units. Silver lesions gleamed on exposed sections of his gray-white hide.

Astounding! One of these days, I probably should give Gibson a go.

So theoretically we could make it a triple feature: ORCA, followed by DAY OF THE DOLPHIN, and finally, JOHNNY MNEMONIC! Break out the booze and popcorn, it sounds like a plan!

Theoretically! I think you'll like JOHNNY MNEMONIC, or at least, I think one of the adversaries will appeal to you.
