Jack Reacher, Amanda Knox and the Nuge

Finally found a movie that doesn't have talking fish or superheroes in tights, so I'm fired up.

Jack Reacher is back for part two in Never Go Back. Reacher is the main character from the great Lee Childs novels I read.

Lee Child tweeted yesterday: Before the movie release on 10/21, the NEVER GO BACK tie-in paperback will hit US/CA bookstore shelves on 9/6!

Here's the trailer to the movie. Looks pretty good.

The release date on the movie is Oct. 21. It stars Tom Cruise and Cobie Smulders. It will be the one movie I see this year. Just the way I roll.

Song from the soundtrack, by Zayde Wolf, New Blood.

*** So our old pal Amanda Knox is shacking up with a dude and wrote a love letter in the local paper about the big move.
I’m reminded of how my cell in Capanne prison transformed in character with the arrival or release of even just one prisoner. While none of us was allowed much in the way of material possessions, our combined emotional baggage, when bashed together without consideration, could make an already inescapable situation insufferable, even dangerous.

*** I love some of these book titles by sci-fi writer Philip Dick.

*** Here's a clash of cultures with neither side handling things very well.

 *** Patrick Reusse on the revival of downtown St. Paul. Haven't been to this park, but it's on the list.

*** But Minneapolis has this now. Skol Vikings!

*** Public service announcement: The Nuge is at the Full Throttle in Sturgis on Aug. 9.
