  9. After reading all 23 books I have a very strong opinions regarding both movies. One of the things that the movie does not capture is Reacher's analysis of a fight that is gonna happen.
  10. I have provided a You Tube Link to a BBC interview with Lee Child. Here are the highlights. Tom Cruise will never play Jack Reacher AGAIN !!!! They are casting for a mini series to come out next year. Fingers crossed it comes to the U.S So if your about 6' 5" 240 lbs. and ugly. You could play Reacher.
  11. One day Revell is gonna start selling quality US built 3D printers for the home. Download a Revell a 1958 Cadillac file with a bunch of options. Chop the roof, put in a Hemi, delete all the side trim, and so on and so on. One could certainly build a lot cars from one file. MY RANT. NO more Chinese million $ injection machines, tooling, factories, and warehouses. Just gonna have a R&D center proudly flying the US flag and a staff of Americans. Mike
