If you [can] read books, you probably aren't the target market for Hollywood.
I knew of the Jack Reacher books, but had not read them. Going in without the bias of the books, I probably enjoyed it a lot more than if I had.

Made me think of this:

As great as Peter Dinklage is, I don't think it comes off quite the same if Dinklage had been in the role.
We took my grandson (5) to see My Little Pony: The Movie.
It was actually pretty good for a young kid. Predictable story, lots of color, the bad guy gets it in the end, lots of catchy tunes, and a toe-tapping end number.
Four out of five stars.
"A Time to Kill" on Prime, had never seen it before. Plenty of great performances hampered by otherwise poor direction. Distastefully schmaltzy given the subject matter.
I started streaming Mindhunter tonight on Netflix. 2 episodes in and I am hooked.
I feel like many characters in the show are based upon PF members. Not the killers of course...
Watching Live PD right now. They are searching for armed robbers and the AR's come out as appropriate. The problems though... the Lt has no optic and left his rear sight folded down. Another deputy has a suppressor but no sling. And they keep muzzling each other. Earlier a deputy cleared a found handgun with his left hand in front of the muzzle.
Back when I was a yoot, I used to get excited when I heard that various favorite books were going to be adapted into movies.
So many painful lessons- I still haven't gotten over the hack job that was the film of "Clear and Present Danger".
Meanwhile, I keep loving "Rogue One".
Clear and Present Danger was the best IMO book Clancy ever wrote, but yes they butchered that movie. Even worse what I think they did to The Sum of all Fears. I wrote "think" because I never watched it. It's my understanding that the terror group went from a Middle Eastern origin to domestic. Once I heard that I refused to watch.
