Andy, take note, just saw another Jack Reacher commercial, this one had a scene with a very attractive young lady wearing only a bra and panties... the movie is going to have at least one socially redeeming value.
I'll bet she's 8 inches taller than Tom Cruise. Moronic wussie.
Jack
I haven't read the books. But from what you and "Colt" are saying I shouldn't read the books first. Most of my men have been taller than I but I certainly have had crushes on less tall men, including Jack who isn't quite six foot (he's still quite attractive despite being OLD). I have mixed feeling about Tom Cruise. Until he pulls a full blown Mel Gibson on us I'll still be a bit titillated by him. One of my neighbors, the three houses around our "front 40," his father and Mel Gibson's father were best friends. I learned about the "family propensity" years before Mel "lost it."
And my neighbor is a bigot although he would never realize it. DH and he have email battles but I am the "dumb blonde" wifey who serves as diplomat. Of course I have never read any of their email exchanges over the years.
Hugs, Feisty Alice
{edit} Bigot neighbor has been able to retire quite nicely due to his brilliant, much younger wife, who went back to school, to get her bachelors, then Masters, in Physics and Math, and is teaching at University, after staying home and raising three children. She takes no ..... off of him at all!!!! They used to be loud but she's tamed him quite a bit now that she has regained her confidence.
