Am I allowed to shoot my wife?

After running around like a chicken with it's head cut off, trying to deal with Embassy rules, application forms, bank statements, shipping agents, etc., ...... now she says we should wait six more months before we move. All the visa paperwork and documents have to be 'within three months' so I have to do it ALL over again in six months.
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!!

Yes; maybe a portrait or close-up lens could be used. Telephoto would mean you were some distance from her, and probably, she might get lost in the background.

I called and asked. They said the season is closed right now. I have to wait.

Doesn't have the required 'thwak.'

I am walking around with steam coming out of my ears. On the other hand, she is walking around on egg shells. Not sure which is worse...

I hadn't until you brought it to my attention. What did you think?

For me, all my fears are realised - Tom Cruise just isn't Jack Reacher. It looks like my kind of movie, just not what I would have hoped for in this case. The scene near the end of the trailer where he is surrounded by a group of thugs sums it up. He's smaller than all of them, and there is no sense of menace coming from him.

I'll still go see it, of course .

quite disappointing i'm not sure if i'll go and see the movie. i want good eye candy there's also quite a bit of creative angles and uhm...i thought it was rather cheesy, and i know the series is like that...but well, i can't explain it, but it's a feeling of, "i don't mind reading cheesy plotlines as long as i don't say it out loud"...kind of thing?

and lately, i just haven't been watching films at all. i think it's because i'm rather disappointed that they keep doing these "movie adaptations" (that said, i'm still excited for the samurai x/rurouni kenshin live action movie. trailer was amazing!) from books and such. there's hardly any point anymore. it's like ..if you don't care to read, just go and watch the movie...sort of thing. i'm not sure if that's good or bad, or if it says anything about laziness. *shrug*

Tom Cruise can NOT play Jack Reacher. Period.
If they change the character names, I could probably enjoy a good Tom Cruise movie, but not if my mind is saying 'this is Jack Reacher?'

If Tom Cruise is Jack Reacher, I'm 007.

Maybe the powers that be in Hollywood wanted to destroy the Jack Reacher books the way they destroyed the Mission Impossible mythos.
