    Reading the first Jack Reacher novel (Killing Floor). Pretty solid action.

    I’m surprised they made the movie with Tom Cruise, as he has nothing in common with Reacher physically.

    They should have called it “Jack Reacharound.”

    I have a question for my fellow cat/pet parents. I have 2 15 year old male tabbies. Last week I adopted a 9 month old male tabbie. I have kept him away all this week while allowing them to smell each other through the door as well as bringing in a blanket the older cats sleep in. Was thinking of introducing them tomorrow. Any tips you old hands may have for me? I was thinking of doing the vanilla scent trick but I would really appreciate any other suggestions. I want this new kitty to be well accepted since he is a sweetie and already adored by the humans in the house.

    A younger Liam Neesn would have worked. He’s done “Taken” though, which is about the same sort of thing. Chris Hemsworth works physically, but I am not sure he has the gravitas. I just can’t think of any very big, blonde guys who can carry the role.

    I want someone to see this travesty of a movie and tell about it here in comments. What a bad choice for Reacher. One of Reacher’s hands is larger that Cruise. Can’t understand Lee Child going along with this.

    He’s written like 16 Reacher books and this is his first movie. They could have put Betty White in that role and he would have gone along with it.

    @Maude: Donald Hamilton did the same thing and went along with Dean Martin as Matt Helm (big, tough Swedish-American) way back when. Either the authors have no control or they want the money and don’t care how it’s filmed. Seems strange to me.

    Cruise wanted to do the flicks. I agree, terrible choice to play Reacher.

    I read my first one recently too (“Nothing To Lose”). Regular dime novel stuff (which is not a bad thing to me), but enjoyed the way it ragged on the evangelist/small town feudal lord villain and the entire belief system that goes with it. With the “ex-military/lone cowboy” profile, I expected something from the other side of the aisle, if anything. Serves me right for profiling.

    @Maude:

    My friend, novelist,former screenwriter and all around awesome babe Alexandra Sokoloff puts it this way:

    The height thing aside (and height in Hollywood is relative), there’s a whole hell of a lot more to playing a role like Reacher than acting. We are talking about a mega-million dollar movie that is supposed to turn into a multi-billion dollar franchise. You don’t just need an actor for Reacher, you need a movie star. You need more than a star – you need someone who can carry the movie. And not just carry the movie, but carry the franchise…

    Carrying this movie is going to be ten million times more important than size. I can think of a couple of actors, good actors, who seem to me physically perfect for Reacher, who in fact work just fine as Reacher in those random Reacher fantasies, you know the ones I mean – but who I wouldn’t want to gamble on being able to carry this film.

    Tom Cruise has been carrying movies consistently since he was 21 years old. Ironically, what all these size-obsessed complainers don’t seem to realize is that Tom Cruise is one of the only actors on the planet BIG enough to carry a franchise that big.

    And as for why Lee Child would let this happen, well…while we’re not close, I know Lee Child. I’ve had dinner with him several times, drinks more times than I can count, and one of my best friends married his younger brother. Lee loves writing, he loves telling stories, he loves being the larger than life figure that is “Lee Child” (not his real name BTW, even if it is what everyone calls him), but he also likes making a shit-ton of money, as who wouldn’t? He got into the writing game after getting fired from his job at (IIRC) Thames television in England over a union dispute (yes, he’s a Brit), decided that he was going to make a living writing thriller novels, and very rationally looked at the type of thing he thought would sell. And sell it did. I have no idea whether he “agreed” for Cruise to play Reacher, but that’s very rarely, in fact almost never, up to the novelist anyway. I do know he got a damn nice sum of money for it, and it couldn’t have happened to a better guy. Unless, of course, it happens to me.

    Does this mean he’s a hack? I’d say not…he’s thought longer and more deeply about why people like some kinds of stories and what deep seated psychological needs people have for those than anyone I’ve met. He’s really a fascinaiting guy to listen to.

    EDIT: Oh, and he’s also incredibly generous, in a lot of ways.

    Ted Cruz, who if he ever served in the military is keeping it a secret from the Wikipedia, think John Kerry and Chuck Hagel lack respect for the armed services. He does, in the name of fair and balanced-ness, concede that they are not actually anti-American

    “Okay, we’ve got two pending nominations, John Kerry and Chuck Hagel,” he said in responding to a question at the National Review Institute summit in Washington. “Both of whom are very prominently — ”
    Cruz took a pregnant pause. “Anti-us?” said a moderator.
    “Less than ardent fans of the U.S. military,” he continued.

    I wanna know who that National review moderator is, K-Lo? Das Pantload?

    Cruise doesn’t mean box office win.
    It stinks and that’s all there is to it. The package deal that went into putting movie together was way off the mark.
    Cruise is always Cruise. He hes has had parts that play into that.
    This doesn’t do Lee Child any good. His brand will be damaged by the movie. You know how it is, Oh, I hated that movie I’m not reading any of those books.
    Scientology has also cut down on the number of Cruise fans.

    The next mass-market-paperback action franchise I’ve been meaning to give a shot is Mack Bolan – anyone ever read those? Given how many of them there are, how long it’s been around and the subject matter, I’m kind of surprised no one in Hollywood’s tried adapting these.

    @efgoldman: Just curious as to which conservative solon went straight to “anti-us” (I’m assuming that’s “U.S.”, and not the first person plural pronoun– ETA: I guess it could be “anti us conservatives”) when discussing John Kerry and Chuck Hagel.

    Frankly, I’m not a Cruise fan either (Collateral notwithstanding). And I’m waiting for the movie to come out on Netflix (sorry, Lee, if you’re reading this).

    But as far as the brand goes…there are a lot of die hard Lee Child fans (aka Reacher Creatures). Every year at the mystery convention Bouchercon, Lee throws them a huge invitation only party, complete with open bar. They fucking adore the guy, including ones who hate the movie but still love Lee and his books. The only people I know that are more into fan service are country singers.

    I think the brand is safe.

    I’ve never been very good at introducing new kitties, though I’ve been lucky, well, for the most part. Do not let little one out of your sight, do it gradually, give Statler and Waldorf plenty of positive reinforcement, and watch the cat box like a hawk. Sometimes the territoriality manifests itself there, and your new little one may be bullied out of potty time.

    I’m sorry about that hoax, but “paying no attention to Twitter” is a supremely sensible idea for maintaining one’s intellectual and emotional health.

    But I wanted to alert you (and others here interested in the gun safety debate) that Stephen King has just published a 25-page essay, “Guns,” now available for $0.99 at Amazon’s Kindle. (A Luddite myself with no Kindle or similar device I’ll have to find some other way of reading it.)

    The Guardian describes it as a “passionate, angry essay pleading for reform…aim[ing] the expletive-peppered polemic at fellow gun owners.” One excerpt gives some flavor of King’s rhetoric:

    “Plenty of gun advocates cling to their semi-automatics the way Amy Winehouse and Michael Jackson clung to the shit that was killing them.”

    King may be one of America’s best-selling authors, but it’s unlikely that he will be appear on Dancin’ Dave’s Disco with that kind of shrillness.

With the gift of silver tongue bullshit, that stops just short of Glenn Beck, with an unholy knack for meshing the cold insanity into the right wing wurlitzer, with just a hint of meager yet emoticon triangulation with the common idiot man.

    He is batshit crazity, fer sure fer sure, but with a pin point delivery to all the nutter erroneous zones , a delivery only the devil his self could bring. And he is the freshman senator from Texas, as would be expected, with one foot in each Republic. Bobby Jindal is a clown, though now a somewhat experience clown, but a clown all the same. I could almost smell the right wing hormone storm though my XM radio at the big wingnut pow wow today. His closet will need inspection, of course, and some tutoring from Franki ‘the rat’ Luntz. Not to mention all around seasoning on the ways of DC. I could be all wet, as the corner stone, or some other oracle from the Texas neutral zone would say, but the wingnuts will rally around this nasty piece of work. I predict, for 2016.

Probably gave the most practical advice in regards to writing novels that sell.

    @efgoldman:

    Yeah, that’s the great thing about Parker. Neither he nor the author (Richard Stark aka Donald E. Westlake) make any apologies or attempt any justification for what he is. He’s not trying to clear his name. He’s not trying to right some wrong. He’s a thief, pure and simple. Sure, the people he robs are usually douchebags, but that’s not because he’s some kind of Robin Hood and they have it coming. Parker robs douchebags because they’re the ones with the money (or jewels or whatever).

  51. 51.

    Chris

    @efgoldman:

    Ohhh, I like that.

    I’ve actually been looking (not very hard I admit) for decent modern day books like that. The Robin Hood “thief-you-can-like” character is timeless but pretty satisfying to read, especially now. The last one I came across was Arsene Lupin, the anti-Sherlock Holmes (he’s French and a thief instead of British and a detective), and those are really good, especially if you like the Conan Doyle type stuff. (Don’t know if it’s ever been translated, but I would assume at least a few of them were).

    ETA: also in that category, anyone know where I can find copies of the original Saint novels (the character they got a Roger Moore TV show out of)? That’s another one I think I’d thoroughly enjoy, but the original book was, like, over a hundred dollars on Amazon.

    Lee Child has to keep getting new readers.
    Some of the Reacher books were bad. All Reacher was doing was killing people, incredibly violent. He could have lost readers on those. He changed back to the original formula.
    There is no such thing as a safe brand with books or movies. It’s always unknown if a movie will do great box office or if a book will sell.
    Also, with a long series, readers tire of it and don’t buy the books.
    Other books come along and sell better.

Any tips you old hands may have for me?

    Assuming the elderly tabbies are fixed, and hoping that the kitten is fixed as well, I’d say through him in there and wait out any hissing and scratching. Generally I’ve found that older cats accept kittens, grudgingly, but will not adapt to new older cats at all, so the best thing to do is to hurry.

    If there’s any tricks for calming them down other than ignoring them, or smacking both annoyed cats when they fight, I don’t know what it is.

    He’s written like 16 Reacher books and this is his first movie. They could have put Betty White in that role and he would have gone along with it.

    I have no idea what you guys are on about, and I don’t want to know either, but Betty White as the hero of an action flick sounds awesome.

    Westlake once observed that he wrote as Westlake on the sunny days and that Stark took over on the dark ones. Parker is a great noir character in a fine dark seies, but for a lighter–though not at all Robin Hoodish–take on crime, try Westlake’s John Dortmunder series. They are wonderfully funny and well done. I reread frequently and am only sorry that there will be no new ones.

    Wish I had gotten to this thead earlier, as I have read all the Reacher novels and am disgusted with the Tom Cruise-ification of the movie version.

    What is the point of buying a “property” to make a movie out of it and then throwing out everything except the name and a few plot points?! Okay, instead of “new generic Tom Cruise action movie” you have “Tom Cruise is Jack Reacher,” which I guess is supposed to bring in fans of the books, but once they’ve seen the awful movie—awful in the sense of not having much to do with the Reacher character or books—you’ve lost them, presumably, and what you’ve got left for a “franchise” is “series of generic Tom Cruise action movies with vaguely familiar name attached.”

    And, if Tom Cruise is so powerful that he can carry a franchise on his tiny, ripped shoulders all by himself, why not create one from scratch? Why do you need the starter material, especially if you’re going to largely ignore it?

    As for big stars who would make a more plausible Reacher, off the top of my head I come up with Viggo Mortensen. I think he’s about 6'0"—okay, IMDB says 5'11"—but he “plays” big on the screen, much more so than Cruise.

    This reminds me of Get Shorty, which was (from what I have read) about to get the Hollywooden treatment until John Travolta, to his credit, flexed his big-star muscle and made them put back in all the Elmore Leonard dialogue, etc., that made the book so good. And it turned out to be a good movie.

  126. 126.

    @General Stuck:

    I could be all wet, as the corner stone, or some other oracle from the Texas neutral zone would say, but the wingnuts will rally around this nasty piece of work. I predict, for 2016.

    By primary season in 2016, America will be in the middle of a crushing double-dip recession, populism will be making a roaring comeback, Hillary will be gearing up for a presidential run and Elizabeth Warren with Alan Grayson as her VP will be pushing old Hills much farther to the left.

    Reactionary Republican psychos from Texas won’t have a chance.
