Yeah, you’re right — Reacher is probably a libertarian. Which is fine with me.

By the way, i was real disappointed to see that Tom Cruise is going to play Reacher in the movie coming out in December. Reacher is 6’5”, Cruise barely reaches 5’7”. Reacher is 225 pounds, Cruise tips the scales at 150 soak and wet.

What the heck kind of casting is that?

Tom Cruise is going to play Reacher in the movie coming out in December . . . .

DO YOU KNOW WHICH BOOK THIS MOVIE WILL BE BASED ON?

That pi$$ed me off...Reacher gets in a lot of physical scrapes and part of the solutions is that Reacher is bigger or equal in size to the bad guys...and he kicks butt...Chuck Norris would run from Jack Reacher.

There is no way Tom Cruise can pull it off and even though I have the entire series in hardbound (love 'em), I won't go to see the movie.

Studio magic, I guess. My thought on who would make a good Reacher... Liam Neisen, Tom Selik (maybe too old), Maybe even the guy who played Aragorn in LOTR.

BUt NOT Tom Cruise!!! no way no how!

Any more thoughts???
