How do you judge height by checking out a rack?
Something about the square and the hypotenuse, but I might have to check.
Now where are my callipers?

I find that hands are the most precise of tools

@Crucial And there are times when we REALLY need to be precise.
Yep and I don't know of another tool that can judge weight, shape, density and size all at once.

Big fan after seeing her in Reacher and then Gone Girl. She's got quite the back catalog I'll have to look through.

@antipodean She was a Bond Girl too (Die another Day)

I haven't seen the second Reacher movie. The first one was fine as a movie on it's own merits if it's not judged as an adaption, but I agree with all those saying Cruise is too short for the role. It's not like the Jack Reacher character just happens to be tall, Lee Child goes on and on about his stature in the books. He's also pretty gnarly after fighting all around the world.

From A Wanted Man: "He was one of the largest men she had ever seen outside the NFL. He was extremely tall, and extremely broad, and long-armed, and long-legged. The lawn chair was regular size, but it looked tiny under him. It was bent and crushed out of shape. His knuckles were nearly touching the ground. His neck was thick and his hands were the size of dinner plates...A wild man. But not really. Underneath everything else seemed strangely civilized....His gaze was both wise and appealing, both friendly and bleak, both frank and utterly cynical." [41]
Reacher is described as being 6 feet 5 inches (1.96 m) tall, weighing 210–250 pounds (95–113 kg) and having a 50-inch (130 cm) chest;.[8][10] In Never Go Back, he was described as having "a six-pack like a cobbled city street, a chest like a suit of NFL armor, biceps like basketballs, and subcutaneous fat like a Kleenex tissue."
Basically he is Kaino sized whereas Cruise is smaller than DMac

Having had breakfast with Jerome Kaino , Liam Squire , Joe Moody and Damien MacKenzie I can confirm that comparison is correct.
Have you had breakfast with Tom Cruise?
A gentleman never tells...

So back to the question: Tom Cruise @jegga - breakfast or what?

'Knuckles nearly touching the ground.....'
Sounds more like this guy to me....

Finally got around to watching Star Wars The Force Awakens.
LOVED Rey. Loved Han and Chewie still being cunning, funny reprobates after all the years. Awesome. Also really liked Finn and Poe.
Would have liked more about Leia, how she went from princess to General, also more than two lines of dialogue about what happened with her and Han and their kid. No idea why Mark Hamill had a top billing in this considering he didn't say a word and was on screen for like 30 seconds.
The story was a little disjointed in places (I'm intrigued how the force is so strong in Rey and did not like it when Han was killed by fuckface) but the special effects were good.
Only thing that didn't work at all for me was Kylo Ren. He always came across as a caricature of evil. Wasn't quite so bad when he had the mask on, but as soon as he took it off, he went douchebag. Odd casting choice, in that physically be looked nothing like Han or Leia. And his worship of Darth's munted mask was also odd, considering Anakin went back to the light before he died.
3.5 Rey flying the Millennium Falcons out of 5 the Jedi stories are real.

After recently watching Antoine Fuqua's remake of "The Magnificent Seven" I decided to revisit the original 1960 film. That led to me watching:
Seven Samurai (1954)
I'd never seen this movie before but Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece was used to adapt this classic tale into the abovementioned Western. Firstly, this is a long movie at 207 mins and is B&W with English sub-titles, but that running time is one of its charms as the characters and plot can be developed. You won't find all the fast-paced action we expect from modern-day films but I could appreciate what a ground-breaking film this would have been at the time. I don't think I would bother watching the movie again though.4.5 katanas out of 5 ronins

@mariner4life I've never seen gay porn so can't comment - but it seems like you are in a position of knowledge?
