"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.
Best actors come from England and Wales

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Pacino is very good, one of the best, but I would not put Deniro in that category.Joe The Homophobe said:
BTW, are you an Eye-talian? Sounds like you are being biased only picking Italian actors?
Senchai,
I did say the "British Isles" and the United Kingdom which does include Scotland.

U.K. has a lot of good actors who are not big names like Hopkins or Brosnan but are still master of their craft. They occassionally show up in U.S. movies and their performances are always remembered. I have also noticed that U.K. actors are far more gracious with the fans of the roles they play. A lot of U.S. actors tend to be standoffish among fans, especially towards a role they hated.

Tarantino is overratted. He mostly appeals to GenX or Yers. The best films stand the test of time (and the end of adolescence).Luke!! said:

I think the reason for that is not that BAD actors don't exist there, it's that in most other film producing countries, you actually have to be GOOD to get known or get a lot of popular work. In the US, you just have to be marketable regardless of skill level. Here bad actors can still make it because of other reasons, but in the UK, bad actors end up on bad UK soaps or crappy comedy series.mahon83050 said:
"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.

Luke, stop capitalizing all your words. It's annoying as Hell, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks so. No offense.
But I think Brando is probably the greatest actor of the 20th century. De Niro and Pacino are both right up there, in my opinion. The Godfather (Parts I and II) show their best work, all three of them. It shows that Pacino can play somebody other than a Tony Montana clone, or a detective who loves to scream.

go watch Dog Day Afternoon if you think scream and go nuts is all Pacino can do.
And I think Jean Reno could beat them all anyway.

I don't get the impression that Tim Roth is or was ever pressed for work outside of Tarantino movies, if that's what you mean. Go to IMDB for some of the roles he was offered in recent years.Luke!! said:
Besides, the acting isn't what seems to draw GenX and Yers to Tarantino movies. it's the excessive style over substance of Tarantino's writing and directing.
