HibbeeBoy:
This explain why Minority Report was such a crap film.

xyle_one:
minority report was a well done "film noir", just moderinized. i loved it for that. it was also filmed real well, and the bleached effect on the film was fantastic. as were the effects. but i really do not care for effects that much.

Wow, "Stuff I've Seen" sounds soooo useful... the day they release 100EB hard disks... Will they come free with it?
