Just thought you guys might enjoy this description of Tom Cruise's new movie, "Minority Report." Am I reading into this? Just sensitive? Or sharp-witted and quick on the uptake?
"In Spielberg's sci-fi mystery, Cruise stars as a seemingly stalwart cop in 2054 who heads an elite squad known as Precrime. Using a trio of psychic mutants called precogs, he can detect a murder before it happens, strap on a jet pack, then arrest the would-be perpetrator. But Anderton leads a double life, scoring a drug called NEUROIN in dark alleys, seeking oblivion after the unraveling of his family...."

Oh, well, thought you could use a laugh...

In reply to Funny reference to NEURONTIN in Cruise's new film, posted by wendy b. on June 22, 2002, at 22:51:43
Hi Wendy,
I loved the movie, simply because I'm a sci-fi junkie. It's funny though, I took neuroin as a play on heroin- perhaps a more precise form that acted on a particular neuron. But I can see how you would think neurontin, I wonder if the 'typical' movie-goer would even be familiar with neurontin. Take care, judy
