Noun Used As A Verb, Film At Eleven

Re yuki-onna, talking about how the ending of Watchmen doesn't work for her because she's been "Neuromancered"...WTF does that even mean, exactly? I read Neuromancer, but about a million years ago, and it occurs to me that perhaps it was exactly as not-so-impressive to me, in the end, as Watchmen was to her. But seriously: There's something "innate" in a received-wisdom sense that I'm supposed to be getting from the reference about how best to end a book, right? And...I'm just not gettin' it, sorry.

I should probably be asking her, I suppose, rather than the universe at large. But I get the feeling I'd just get slapped for being dumb, and I'm not all too into that right now.

To me, that's all she was saying, that her subjective and personal reading experience of the two may have been hampered by the rip-offs. (I almost mentioned The Godfather in my original comment.)

The fact that she mentioned Neuromancer going into the riff on The Watchman, just to me, wasn't actually an attempt to connect the endings of the two.

Ah. Okay. Thanks.;)
