    I aspire to the level of Suburban Brain Excellence required to start a physical fight with Jack Reacher because you perceive him to be in violation of HOA bylaws. www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ma...

    I had a dream that Hollywood stole my idea for a movie about Jack Reacher vs Gray Aliens, and only Reacher could fight them because they had such long arms that he was the only one who can Reach them. And the climax of the movie is the aliens show up with a grabber claw that reaches even further

    Casting a brown skinned woman as Snow White will never not be silly. It's similar to Jack Reacher, it's made very clear in the books he's a tall, physically intimidating person. And they cast Tom Cruise to play him.

    If only there was an army that swore to uphold the constitution, that would come and help us.. The next Jack Reacher Movie, will be about rescuing the President and the cabinet from mobs demanding fair elections and flying them safely back to Russia with their stolen bitcoin.

    Movie idea: Reacher and the Hendersons. After the titular family hits Jack Reacher with a car, they take him home, where the hulking creature becomes a beloved part of their family. When hunters target him, however, he ruthlessly executes them one by one

    It's such a strange experience. Tom Cruise, for all his faults, is legitimately a really good actor who knows how to hold a gun. The Jack Reacher movie is very well made, with a compelling story and visually impressive action sequences. It just happens to be completely wrong.

    I was watching Jack Reacher: Never Go Back (Netflix) and one of the characters says she'll grab the villain by his hair plugs. Given how people are chanting "we're not going back" at Harris rallies and the title of the movie is "Never Go Back," this meme seemed appropriate.

    Henry Cavill & the giant that plays Jack Reacher, quite possibly the 2 giga-ist chads, just recently made a movie about gleefully taking out SO MANY nazis. We should probably make that movie required watching in all high school history classes to catch any kids on the edge of the manosphere.

    The first Jack Reacher movie is so funny because it's got the exact same beats and energy as the show but anytime Cruise does Reacher lines he's off-putting and weird! Just listen to him talking to Rosamund Pike about why he drifts around! Feels like he's about to offer her a copy of Dianetics.

    I haven’t read any Reacher novels so JACK REACHER was just a film to me and Tom Cruise was fantastic in it. I think his height added an extra dimension to the character: everyone underestimated him and assumed they could beat him.

    Rewatching Reacher Season 2 with the wife and caught a reference to the storyline from the Jack Reacher movie. So if you’re a continuity buff, watch that between S1 and 2 of the tv series. No one should have any problem imagining Tom Cruise and Alan Ritchson as the same person. Right?

    The reason Jack Reacher is such a good show is that every good action show or movie needs to be a little cheesy and funny. Not just endless macho serious scenes, but scenes where some tough guy holds a tiny kitten and looks uncomfortable holding something so fragile and then say 'wanna see my puss?'
