"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 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.

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".
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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).

"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.

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.
