Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single
She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.
You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.
The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

"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.

I thought ... well it LOOKED like he was nailing Strawberry Fields. My bad.
I liked it a lot, I think this Bond is the best so far and while this isn't the best movie in the franchise at least he wasn't borderline homosexual like Roger Moore. This one had too much action though.

He did nail Strawberry Fields.
But, thinking back on previous Bond films, the situation with the Bond girls kind of reminds me of Licence To Kill. Where he teams up with a female agent and doesn't sleep with her, but sleeps with the secondary woman. If you haven't seen that one in a while go back and watch it, Benicio Del Torro is in it. Funny as hell.

It really felt to me more like a generic action film than a "Bond" film, although a large-scale sequence at the end reminded me of some of the "bad guy's lair" stuff we used to see in the later Connery and most of the Moore Bond films.
I like that the "rebooted" Bond has less gadgetry this time around, but "Quantum" took too much of that out. The newer films show more technology back at HQ... in the older ones (with the exception of Q's lab), it seems like most of the high-tech stuff was out in the field with Bond.
The world-wide "Quantum" plot is not entirely bad - it gives Bond a shadowy organization to find, root out, and eliminate, rather than resurrecting the Cold War or turning him loose against drug lords or terrorists. On the other hand, it seems as if these people are motivated by money, not ideology. Following the money flows, interrogating suspects and chasing the resulting leads seem like the way to dismantle this sort of worldwide enterprise - is Bond the right sort of person to do this work, rather than the FBI, CIA and Interpol?

Well, Bond is MI6 which is the British version of the CIA and he has his American counterpart Felix Leiter in the CIA.
"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.

I looked at the movie and thought it was amazing. With all James Bond films, I think you have to view it a few times for it to click and make sence. I had to view Casino Royale about three times for that movie to click (plus numerous other re-plays on the DVD of it)
My thoughts about this is that Casino Royale laid the story-line and plot foundation for this movie. That is why I rented Casino Royal and viewed it like a few times from start to finish, before watching Quantum.
Quantum ties up the loose-ends and expands on the background of the Casino Royale movie into an intense action picture -- so I don't see Quantum as being a DIFFERENT movie from Casino Royale, but more like Part Two of Casino Royale.
