"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.

Man of Steel, worst movie of 2013?

So I'm listening to the local radio the other day and they were reviewing the worst movies of 2013. They hand the reviewing over to some woman, who I now believe is a feminazi. Among her list of "worst movies of 2013" was "Man of Steel". I then picked up the movie out of curiosity and it's a damned good movie from beginning to end. It might not be the best movie ever, but worst movie of 2013? Give me a break.

A white man saving the world must be a horror show to the feminazis, so she had to throw it in the list. Worse movie of 2013 really? I am going to file a complaint.
 

"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 don't even like Superman yet thought Man Of Steel was one of the best superhero movies ever. Maybe she was a Christian and got pissed over all the Superman=Jesus imagery..

I thought it was rather poor of script. But it was a good set up for Justice League. Which a lot of people would like made but there is not the right amount of actors to fill up the role. If it does get made be prepared for Ben Affleck.

I though it was pretty bad, especially the last 30 minutes of mindless repetitive action.
Agreed, another failed attempt to reboot Superman.

I'm curious to see Batman vs. Superman though.
You have to think most people will be rooting for Batman to put him in its place. Not only has Batman had better movies, but he has the underdog thing going for him.
 

"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.

Superman is unrealistic in that he has the powers of like 10000 men rolled into one, with only one weakness which he can even overcome. Batman is also unrealistic because it makes it seem like his smarts and preparation can somehow defeat aliens, gods, unrealistically smart enemies who have been perfecting their plan for decades or centuries.

Of course I don't mind, because superheroes are supposed to be caricatures of men. But when I hear Batman fanboys cheer him on and then talk about how Supes is so unrealistic I laugh. Batman is the same thing, but in the opposite direction. That's why you always get Superman and Batman crossover movies, they are the foils of each other.

Superman also looses to magic, like pretty badly actually.

Batman is a walking utility belt.

Which version of superman?

How about this superman, who is the normal superman, but in the far future but has developed the powers of a god, reality altering, time travel, mind control?

http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/36671/gold_superman_prime.jpg

Yes he is canon.
Any version actually. Its usually a glass cannon fight though.

Like Doctor Strange(I know he's marvel) can easily beat superman if superman doesn't detect him. If he can get off one spell superman is done, but if strange is seen then Superman's speed will win the fight.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

The only thing that disappointed me in the movie is where is the green rock... where the hell is the kryptonite?? How could they just forget about the kryptonite.

Also how could Batman ever beat Superman? Batman doesn't have super strength, he would get killed.

I personally loved Superman movie from this year. Far superior to the other superman movies that I have seen.

Probably the best action scenes of any super hero movie, while the script wasn't perfect. I thought it was better then average.

Batman is known for carrying kryptonite around in his utility belt.

Is it true that there was no kryptonite in Man of Steel (I really don't remember - forgettable movie)? If so, maybe they will have Batman be the guy to figure out his weakness in the next one.

That was one thing I liked about it. Screenwriters always seem to go back to Kryptonite because it's the one thing that weakens Superman. It gets a little old. Anyway in MoS it was unnecessary because Zod et.al. shared the same powers and weaknesses. Unfortunately it just became another rock em sock em destroy NYC (Metropolis) fight at the end. I think superhero movies have peaked creatively but as long as they keep making money....

Not sure how familiar you guys are with the old comics, but I always felt that the best villain for a Superman movie would be the Parasite. As the name implies he siphons powers and energy from other organisms including Superman. He was also kind of scary-looking.
What you think that you are going to get:

Im surprised Pacific Rim didnt get more of a backlash dude. How dare they portray an Asian woman under the command of a White male and end in romance!!! She doesn't at any time try to ursurp command or 'prove herself'. So far Pacific Rim is my movie of the year.

Not one female in command. Excellent and very realistic.
