thread_title: Image copyright problem with Image:StoneSmoking.jpg

message: * It would be great if this article a few sentences about this movie, seeing how tech-noir was the primary theme of this well known movie.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.233.96.160 (talk) 22:03, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Mention of the Terminator(Film)?

message: I haven't seen anything in this article to suggest that 'Tech noir' is anything more than a description of the art style of most cyberpunk movies. There's no real citations and the article almost boils down to a list of movies that supposedly fit into the 'tech noir' "genre". Should we merge this into cyberpunk? --68.88.253.102 (talk) 15:42, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: What is this?

message: This article is just awful, an embarrassment, really.  Is this a genre, or a style of art and set design, or simply a description of a certain "look" or "feel" shared by a certain arbitrary set of films?  The article is unclear because it lacks cites from reliable sources.  Tech noir exists, certainly, as the phrase was coined for The Terminator, but only to describe a certain style Cameron was going for.  Nothing suggests that this is a genre, or even a subgenre.  If you go through the article and remove all the speculation and unsubstantiated opinion, there would be very little left.  This would be a good idea, actually, and then what remains can be merged to the cyberpunk article, since what is described here is nearly identical. ---RepublicanJacobiteTheFortyFive 17:36, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Awful 

message: I see a lot of great data about tech noir, but no definition of it.  Does someone have a definition for Tech Noir they would like to share?

replies: text: This says: "Tech-noir films are about technology perceived as a destructive and dystopian force that threatens every aspect of our reality. They often expose the temporal nature of concepts of identity and society: rather than being fixed aspects of a permanent and indestructible 'nature,' these concepts, like nature itself, are shown as mere parts of a larger simulacrum that is subject to change, exploitation, and even annihilation."

thread_title:  CfD for [[:Category:Tech noir]] 

message: * iMDB has a "tech noir" movie list consisting of 68 titles, reinforcing the absurdity of opinions that the genre does not exist: https://www.imdb.com/search/keyword/?keywords=tech-noir
* "The Best Future Noir & Tech Noir Movies, Ranked" from the appropriately named "Ranker" domain: https://www.ranker.com/list/best-future-noir-movies-all-time/reference
** May I conjecture that "Future Noir" does not apply to "The Terminator," "T2," "T3: Judgement Day," nor any other title that takes place in the historical past? This seems a matter for mathematics, not opinions. 
* The phrase even exists in the Urban Dictionary, the dictionary "edited by anyone:" https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=tech-noir
