"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 was in time to catch the previews yesterday when i went and saw oceans 12 (good movie imo regardless of what everyone i know told me), and i was able to catch the preview for Batman Begins which will be out in June. The movie looks incredible im just wondering who else has seen the preview or is gettin pumped up for it?
 

"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.

The trailer does look good. This new movie is not directed by Joel Schumacher. I don't think that this will be as campy as the last two Batman movies.

You can view the trailer here: Batman Begins trailer

This one doesn't look anywhere as campy as the last few movies. It's about Batman's origin. It's dark like the original Batman movie which I think was the best. Really close to the old Detective comic books in which Batman began.

I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night
The whole point of this movie is to erase the memory of the last two. It's directed by Christopher Nolan, who did "Memento," and it should be in that kind of noir-ish vein. I'm beyond excited for this movie and I think it will eclipse every other superhero movie. I'm not exaggerating, either-look at this cast:

Christian Bale
Katie Holmes
Michael Caine
Morgan Freeman
Liam Neeson
Ken Watanabe
Gary Oldman
Cillian Murphy

that's a hell of an ensemble.
 

"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.

yea, I hated the last Batman movie. This new one is going to be directed by Christopher Nolan, the guy who directed MEMENTO (which I thought was pretty original)(EDIT: which ken already pointed out); so hopefully the new Batman movie will kick ass (he was always my favorite childhood superhero).

Batman kicks ass as the best superhero simply because he had no super powers.

No no, he has the best super power of them all -- money... lots of it. And yeah, he was always my favorite hero when I was a kid.

Guess I'll have to check it out after all.:)

KATIE HOLMES!!!!???????

WTF is she gonna play?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I know in pre-filming she was in talks about being Bruce's girlfriend. I haven't read any post production notes to confirm it though.
