Apparently the name Reacher came from when he was in a supermarket and someone asked him to reach a product on a high shelf, or something, and his wife said he could be a "reacher" in a supermarket if his writing career falls over. There's my fun fact for the day.

At least it wasn't because he was good at reaching around

Spectre.
This started off promisingly, but the last quarter was lame. After some of the super villains that have turned up in Casino Royale and Skyfall etc, this one was tepid as fuck - and supposed to be the king villain of them all. Whatever. And the whole link to Bond's childhood was lame, too. I dunno. It just seemed that with all that mega technology they had, the Spectre people seemed to do jack shit with it in terms of terror - that bombing they did in South Africa to get them to sign up to the Nine Eyes thing was a flicker in the background when it could have been so much more. The head of the British Intelligence Max was a paper thin villain. Also, what happened to Monica B's character after all that? Liked M and Q.
Meh. The action scenes, especially in Mexico were great, but the story was average and true menace non existent. Wonder if they will wind down the franchise now. Casino Royale was such a wonderful refresh of it, but it would take something spectacular now, and I think Daniel Craig has had enough.

It's easy to forget, but Pulp Fiction is absolute genius

@mariner4life Have you seen Siodmak's/Hemingway's The Killers? It was an influence to say the least ...
Don Siegel's version likewise. Highlight is Ronald Reagan slapping the hell out of Angie Dickinson.

Sorry @Tim i have not
But watching again tonight, it's a piece of art. The shots are brilliant, the dialogue unique, the soundtrack perfect.
Given the cinematic climate these days will we ser it's like again?
