"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I robot meets 28 days later and then meets Pitch Black with Resident Evil

"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.

You forgot to mention thats also part Castaway, with Will Smith, seemingly the only person.

Seems like it would be worth seeing. Not a lot of good stuff out there these days.

the story concept has a lot of potential - i love apocolypse stories myself. i think the reason we are seeing so many of them lately is because on a subconscious level we are realizing that we may be approaching the end of things (that 'something', who knows what, is going to bring our existence to a sudden end fairly soon).

the problem with anything involving will smith though is that at least the first 50% of the movie will involve almost no action as he engages in scenes based around his 12 patented facial expressions (hence why the first 30 minutes will be him and his kid and then him washing the dog).

will smith is the black tom cruise. their movies never suck, but are always formulaic.

now, what they should have done for this movie is use a Sin City / 300 style of filming.

Actually it seems to be more heavily ripped off from the very old movie known as "The Omega Man".
 

"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 am Legend is a 50+ Year old vampire classic. It inspired Romero's Night of the Living Dead and the vamps in the book are nothing like Dracula. Its a nice short book, I finished it in one sitting. The ending has everything to do with the book's title. But I am not going to spoil it for you guys (although I hear the movie changes the ending).

"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.

Padron Reserve maduro in hand while finishing my b
Richard Matheson is one of the most prolific writers of the 20th century. I am Legend inspired one of my student films when I was at film school in New York. Easily the best vampire book I've ever read.

Suffice it to say I was jacking off when I saw the trailer a few months back. Though the book and the film will be vastly different. I like the fact that Will Smith signed on to play Neville but for the life of me I cannot find who will be playing his nemesis Ben Cortman.
