"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.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

I doubt he'll ever be as weird as Tom Cruise. Cruise just comes off as a natural weirdo. you have to understand the real incentive for celebrities/rich people to become Scientologists- it's a tax shelter. Then again, Smith does appear to be a rather religious person.spider_007 said:

There is an unauthorized biography of Tom Cruise coming out in a couple of weeks with some dirt. One item in particular is that Tom Cruise had Katie inseminated with L. Ron Hubbard's frozen baby batter as an ode to Scientology.Master Bates said:

I thought Smith's acting was great. He made me overlook a lot of flaws and glitches in the film.
I am interested in the book now from hearing all of you talk about it. Will the book be spoiled since I've seen the movie?

The book has a very different ending from the movie, and overall a different feel. He's just an average joe living in the suburbs and the vampires have a distinctly different presence in the book, you might say. The story is only around 130 pages I think. I'd go so far as to say the movie felt more inspired by the book than it was based on 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.

I read Fight Club after watching the movie but the movie to me was a lot better and plus the book was kinda like a less detailed and organized version of the movie. Or maybe it was just not a good book to have translated.
I see the "I am Legend" book on sale at 711 but also do have the same question as another poster in terms of how good the read would be.

I already addressed how different the book is from the movie- enough to make it worth reading and still be a new experience. But I haven't encountered anyone who's read the book and thought the movie was better. The book just has a better story, and a much better ending.
It was such a let down.
The first half had real potential and even though i have not read they book (yet) i got a feeling that it had the opportunity to say something important or relevant about mans experimentation with science.
In the end the director either lost his balls or ran out of money therefore having to rely on bad CGI.
SPOILER
Could have been called 'Ethans legacy' had Will Smith thrown the kid and the hand grenade into the zombies at the end.

I Am Legend's Original Ending:
http://www.firstshowing.net/2008/03/05/must-watch-i-am-legends-original-ending-this-is-amazing/
by Alex Billington:
"For those unaware, let me explain the concept of Richard Matheson's book to help clarify why this original ending was so amazing to finally see. Without spoiling too much (incase you want to read it), the entire purpose of the title I Am Legend is that in the book, Robert Neville actually is the last man on the planet. And he has switched places from our reality of what we perceive as legend, to actually being the legend. As in, vampires are "legendary" to us because they're a myth from fantasy. In the book, Robert Neville is "legendary" because he is that myth and goes out day after day hunting them. With the original theatrical ending, they never actually touched on that idea at all - but when you think about, that's a pretty damn cool concept."

I actually just started reading the book, and it is very good. I like the 2nd ending there alot better than the one used in the movie... but I don't like that it is a "happy" ending, either. I'm torn on which ending is better, I guess... but the film overal could have been much better in my opinion.
just so suave

Since when did bacon last 3 years in a fridge??
But I loved the film, apart from the ending. Like someone said earlier, it should have ended as the grenade exploded. Wills acting was incredible. It would be interesting to see another actor play it though.
