    HeckleVision: JOHNNY MNEMONIC (West Oaks)

    The Alamo Drafthouse West Oaks presents presents HeckleVision: JOHNNY MNEMONIC.

    Unless they're the ultra-hilarious Master Pancake Theater, there's nothing more annoying than people heckling a movie. Their voices interrupt the characters, and even if their jokes are really good you end up missing some key line of dialog that would make the next joke even better.

    Enter HeckleVision - we pick some...

    The Alamo Drafthouse West Oaks presents presents HeckleVision: JOHNNY MNEMONIC.

    Unless they're the ultra-hilarious Master Pancake Theater, there's nothing more annoying than people heckling a movie. Their voices interrupt the characters, and even if their jokes are really good you end up missing some key line of dialog that would make the next joke even better.

    Enter HeckleVision - we pick some hilariously horrible movies (but movies we can't help but love anyway) and through the magic of MuVChat technology we let you text your heckles silently from your seat as they then magically appear up on the screen alongside the main action. ANYTHING goes in this all out assault on crappy cinema and you can bask in the glory of your textual genius or recoup from a whiff as you prepare your next text. When you don't have anything to contribute to the heckle conversation you can sit back and enjoy other peoples' snarky comments. So charge up those cell phones and prepare your wit because it's heckling time!

    JOHNNY MNEMONIC
    Director Robert Longo
    Year 1995
    Starring Keanu Reeves, Dolph Lundgren, Dina Meyer
    Rating R
    Run Time 106min
    More Info IMDb

    The year is 2021, and half of the Earth's population is suffering from the disease known as Nerve Attenuation Syndrome (NAS). Johnny, a mnemonic data courier, is hired to carry 320 gigabytes of crucial information to safety from the Pharmacom Corporation. Pursued by Yakuza agents and a crazed cyborg, Johnny must deliver the data or die in twenty-four hours.

    I know what you're thinking. Of all the films Keanu Reeves has made over the years, why would we choose this one for Hecklevision? The answer is quite simple, and frankly if you don't know why this movie is so awesomely bad, I pity you.

    It stars a totally wooden faced Keanu Reeves who has overloaded his brain with too much information. ("I can carry nearly eighty gigs of data in my head." ) It has crazy faced Udo Kier with a laser thumb whip. Henry Rollins pops up as a surgeon and Dolph Lundgren plays a bad-ass insane Preacher. Ice-T is in a gang that is headed by a PSYCHIC DOLPHIN.

    And not only will all these things happen on the screen in front of you, but you get to text anything that crosses your mind to appear live on screen as you watch. I knew it, you were already sold at "psychic dolphin" weren't you? (Greg Maclennan)
