"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Did I not say their would be another matrix!

"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.

No.....not that. The movie is just.....ridiculous.
They kept referencing back to the other movies. I mean a knod here and there is fine,but they actually had clips of the original movie PLAYING in the background while the characters in this movie were speaking.
Then they had a new "Smith"...who was Neo's boss in the movie. One minute they're talking boss to employee,then the next,Smith grabs a gun and starts trying to kill Neo. I was confused....cause I didn't know WHY he started trying to shoot him.
Then Neo.....he's no longer the cool,calm bad azz he was from Reloaded. Now he's being led around like A CHILD by the blue-haired girl. Then at the end of the movie,Trinity.........now SHE can fly. Both her and Neo jump off a building,she had to carry him,cause he lost his ability to fly.
This movie made Revolutions look Oscar-worthy.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Usually typified by disconnected plots that make no sense combined with cgi action scenes too fast / involved to comprehend…
New Spiderman qualifies as another low value final product also.

That stuff is part of what I was talking about

How are Neo and trinity even alive? I haven't watched it yet but it seems like a lazy cashgrab for nostalgia, since the other movies made by the Wachowski "sisters" kept flopping.
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Is this a mis type? A and S are easy letters to switch accidentally when typing at speed.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I went to see this because tickets were free just to see how bad it was.
My girlfriend's comment while watching the credit scroll while waiting for the post-credits scene was "It took this many people to make such a bad movie?"
It's not so much bad as it is utterly boring. One of the people in the theater was snoring (movie got moved from the big screen to a smaller screen). It's utterly unoriginal and no one human dies, but at least it doesn't retcon or sh!t on the original trilogy in any way.
The post credit scene sums it up perfectly. Two beta male game developers saying "The Cat-trix. It's the Matrix, but with cats".
The Last Jedi is a far worse movie.

Personally, I'm disappointed. That's all I'm going say cause I don't want to ruin it for anybody here.
It lacks the depth of the plot if so well carried on the trilogy. But watch it and judge for yourself.

Movie was terrible and added no substance to the original trilogy. The main plot line was flimsy at best and not creative at all IMO.
They also left it open ended so they can do another film after the most current one so expect to see a 5th matrix in the future.
