    I haven't seen the Reacher series on Amazon yet but look forward to it. Casting Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher in the movies was sure a bad joke.

    Exactly…..anyone who read the Lee Child’s books knew Reacher wasn’t 5’7 and 150 lbs…..

    [QUOTE="Moose1958, post: 11810625, member: 54776" Oh, one more thing, that Reacher TV thing on Amazon was really good. I have all the Lee Child books that are available.

    [/QUOTE]
    I agree with you and have been a Lee Child- Jack Reacher fan of the books for a long time. Hated that the movie they cast a midget to play Reacher. However, they fixed the problem with this new Amazon Prime version.
    Amazon did well with Harry Bosch as well.

    Some are calling for him to be Ironman. Please. Just no. RDJ was iconic in the role. Cruise would destroy everything he accomplished.

    I have not done a lot of research on this situation about Tom Cruise playing Reacher. I do think based on the limited information I have that Lee Child was in a bit of a box. At first, he defended this saying he wrote his books so that it was possible. I suspect this mistake will never happen again. The Lee Child books are sold all over the world, and having Cruse well under 6' was not received well by the fans.

    We'll get you up to speed.

    All the crap about the virus has been found by the experts to be crap. The demon faucci is seeking a place to hide.

    Our president is about to get us all killed, so eat some extra bacon.

    I was on that about 2 years or so ago.......all but the bacon part

    I swear to you on my life, I told the Hazul back around March 2020, that this was all bull####.
    My reasoning was the moving targets and the arbitrary sanctions.
    "No more than 10.....why not 11, would 8 or better? Or does 8 make me good for 2 more at the next event?"
    Bars have to close at 11.
    "Because the s't don't get real until 12??"
    Get vaccinated or you will die.
    "Well, I'm not dead yet, so I guess I have something to look forward to."

    And the NUMBER 1 thing.........

    We truckers were completely exempt from all of this, despite the FACT that we were probably the most vulnerable and most likely to carry it. Because, after all, what's life without toilet paper and beer?

    F these people. The WooHan is real and it kills.... and it was developed in China....(yet we have not developed the ball strength to call them out yet).
    And God bless those and their families who have suffered.

    But this is the biggest load of BULL#### ever unloaded on the world.

    But, other than that, I'm pretty good.

    It will be nice when it's all over. But most of us have been saying that for 2 years. At this point the government knows how easy it is to feed people b.s. and who knows what the next world event is going to be.. But it most likely will start in communist China.
