"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.

Okay after only getting two hours of sleep last night, what did I today to fix my sleeping pattern? You guessed it, go to the movies/mall and watch Thor, Love and Thunder.

They start off where they left off in End Game. They bring out the usual elements that makes these marvel movies pretty good. It's what you'd expect, tons of CGI work, Plenty of cool action and witty humor.

If you're not into the feminist part of it such as Natalie Portman getting Thor's super powers that's one draw back for you. But the other aspects of this movie make up for it.

Last but not least, I'd have to say Christian Bale's performance as an antagonist was great in this flick. He looked like he did his daily preparation and lost some pounds in this one.

My suggestion- if you're a dad or a big brother or uncle, take your kids out to watch this one. I give this film an A.
 

"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.

I saw someone trying to sell the movie because of the gay stuff they managed to stuff into it. Namely, Korg's race is all male so he has two daddies (or something like that), Valkyrie is lesbian or bisexual (I forget which, shows how much I care), and then there are all the rainbow exhaust systems (which are actually a reference to Bifrost, the rainbow bridge. Wow, even the name "Bi" frost. Apparently the Norse foresaw Pride month).

Watched about 30 minutes of it before getting disgusted with the low quality level and watched another movie. Constantly interrupted plot by cgi, humor, and nonsense. Just the usual recent sequel that doesn’t come anywhere close to it’s predecessors on storyline, production quality, and content.

Yeah, I will probably wait until it hits Disney plus. Dr Strange Multiverse was dropped and even that sounds more interesting, plus I have to see the latest Spiderman. I wan to rewatch Black Widow as it had some awesome CGI with the floating red room. As Disney plua has dropped.other movies as well that were recentlt out, I am backlogged (Death On the Nile, Kingsman 2022, Nighmare Alley, etc...). New movies coming out are so so since the good oned are on streaming...except Top Gun Maverick.

I have zero interest in watching this.

Even people I work with who are the type who will like all marvel and star wars movies without any kind of critical thinking thought that it was really stupid.

That's a huge no for me. It was trending on Twitter today how dude ate vegan in preparation for kissing her.

Bunch of woke bs

The bi- in bisexual is a Latin prefix, basically meaning two. The bi in Bifrost comes from either bil or bifa in Old Norse and doesn't refer to the number two at all. So the "connection" here is entirely coincidental.
 

"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.

The entire MCU gradually went straight to sh!t after the peak of Endgame.

I was just making a joke, but it's always nice to get a lesson in Old Norse.

Not a bad movie at all, I saw it and I was a fan. The Guns and Roses theme went well with it and the ending set up nicely for what is to come in the Marvel Universe. I am excited for Secret Wars.
 

"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.
