I wasn't suggesting that you lied about the quote. I was just wondering if the information contained within the quote was true.

Just how do they expect to take Precrime nationwide? According to the wacko doctor in the greenhouse, the three precogs in Washington are the only ones to survive. So, here's the dilemma: do they have the range to go nationwide? If they don't, where are they going to get more precogs for the rest of the country? And if they do, how have they been able to filter out predictions for the thousands of murders nationwide and only focus on D.C.?

No idea on the song. As to the nationalization of pre-crime, if I remember correctly in addition to a visual signal the precogs also delivered a time and location stream. I imagine that such reports would be thus filtered.
I really enjoyed this film. I thought it was fairly well thought out, looked fantastic and was even pretty well acted. I loved how spooky the precogs' visions were. The two wooden balls was a bit much, but I liked most everything else. Maybe Spielberg got spooked at the reviews of AI and EpII.
Scene I liked the best: "I don't hear a red ball, John." alarm sounds.

I liked the film a lot. Spielberg just keeps surprising. I don't now how to rate this to A.I., which a lot of the world hated, but they were both excellent films.

I have to agree with Veers. AI was a very good film as was Minority Report. AI could easily have been shorter though and still been good.
Oh and is it me or was there a continuity problem?The guy who changed Cruise's eyes said he'd go blind if he took the bandages off before 12 hours were up, and the spiders came to scan him before the twelve hours were gone. Surely he should have gone blind in one eye?? :S

Just been to see it! Rather good, I thought. Haven't seen AI so I can't really comment, but Minority Report was one of the better films I've seen recently; just one thing, the wooden balls thing was too like the National Lottery (or Lotto as they now insist on calling it). Actually thinking about it, that may have been intentional...

Elna-- I think the doctor meant that, if he took the banadages off and kept them off altogether, he would go blind. But since his eye was exposed for at most a few seconds, I don't think it would cause him any problem.
