I thought so. Joker was good though.Better than "Joker"?
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.

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 beg to differ, although certainly the main character in both were MentalCels. Joker showed an incredible character arc from a nice but a bit kooky MentalCel to a killer, due to all the torment heaped upon him in life. Taxi Driver showed a guy that could not relate to women in a normal way - e.g., the way that he took the beautifully glamorous Cybill Shepherd on a first date to a porno movie, LOL.Joker is a terrible ripoff of Taxi Driver.

Expressing such heretical thoughts out loud seems to have earned you an excommunication. Pity. I always enjoyed our conversations, and found your thoughts intellectually stimulatingJoker is a terrible ripoff of Taxi Driver.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Me too!I'm getting a page saying payment required.
I would say The Joker was influenced by Taxi Driver, rather than a ripoff of it.
Yes, as amazing as it sounds, Phoenix did the all-time best acting job that did not require wearing a hoop dress. Very powerful movie.I haven't seen the The Joker...is Phoenix better than Heath Ledger?
Does it matter what row you're in when the plane is going down?If you're in the front row but looking back, you're in the last row.

I always hated blink 182 and their spinoffs, though i grew to appreciate blink 182 in my older ageThose fellas imparted unto the world some very deleterious lessons
Yeah, you're clearly more of a Korn guyI always hated blink 182 and their spinoffs...
I definitely went through a korn phase. That was my transition from rap to metal.Yeah, you're clearly more of a Korn guy
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.

He's funny off the cuff. He understands the male/female dynamic, which is rare in comedians.And at his feet, you've learned to "uncover" signs that the planet is going to hell in a handcart, then mistake this for insightful commentary
Yes. Back row is best.Does it matter what row you're in when the plane is going down?
