Considering all the inch columns given to adaptations of PK Dick, how 'bout some on William Gibson?
I know of 2:
Johnny Mnemonic by NY artist Robert Longo - and I think critically short-changed. The one where the anti-corporate revolution was run by a smart dolphin.
New Rose Hotel by Abel Ferrara, starring Asia Argento, and I think William Defoe.
...and a great episode of X-File which concludes with a female hacker (Esther, a homage to Esther Dyson) being uploaded to join her lover, now a disembodied AI orbiting the Earth. Almost poetry, right up there with the episode of the alien baseball player in the than Negro League play by the black guy in Law and Order. The telepathic boy that was part of the on-going arc of the series was named Gibson too, a sorta in-joke.
Anything else?
