"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I saw it, there is so much to unpack, even 2 screenings were not enough to understand everything happening.

People loved it or hated it, typical of a Nolan film.

it made tons of money apparently
Suspension of Disbelief is what we need right now, it was the greatest release it could of faced in my opinion... Was probably doomed if released alongside Star Wars or something.

I agree. While I love Nolan's films, I think this one may have been too much for the main stream public to digest.

It's interesting that he had the idea over 10 years ago framing it all together and then it took him 5 years to write the screenplay. Lot of thought process went into this just like many of his other films.

Inception is my all time favorite movie. :up:
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I watched Inception in the cinema in 2010, but Christopher Nolan came into the map for me, as a director, after Interstellar (2014) and I've also viewed Dunkirk (2017). Prior to these movies I didn't notice this director, however, I did see Insomnia (2002), and Inception (2010) in cinema without knowing much about this director or caring his name was on the movie.

I'm sort of looking forward to the release of Tenat on a streaming platform which will probably be in December. It is not like Dunkirk, where I had a sustained interest in viewing this even after a month it was released and was itching to see it, and eventually viewed it on IMAX. This one feels more blah hype-wise and the idea and don't feel as inspired to want to go out of my way to watch this. For a pandemic movie to really work, it has to outrank his other movies, not sit in the middle somewhere.

This is one case where they should have had a digital release along side the cinema release or just soon after, and if it's great, I'd go and want to watch it on IMAX once I clicked with the story if I wanted that type of experience.

Honestly i loved his other films like Batman,Interstellar,Inception and even Dunkirk.

Tenet just didn't do it for me, the plot didn't really interest me and I felt like this wasn't up there with Nolans other movies.
