"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

Did I not say their would be another matrix!

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

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.
 

"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.

Yes, just another fine example of today’s filmmakers having lost their way.
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.

What exactly could they have done with the Matrix plotline? Didn't NEO already end the war with man and machine?

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.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

And when it flops (which it has) it will all be the fault of transphobia because the filmmaker is trans.
 

"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.

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.

It's another example of Hollywood recycling successful film franchises to make more money. They can't make good movies anymore so they just do prequels, reboots, add-ons, etc.

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.
