"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
I'm going to save you some time: James Bond Movie
- Thread starter backbreaker
- Start date
"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 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.
"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.

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.
