"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

While calling "Constantine" the supernatual matrix is not completely acurate, its close enough. Keanu plays John Constantine, a Demonic Bounty Hunter. Dammed to hell for killing himself, he is desperately trying to rack up enough exorcisms and demon explusions so as god might change his mind. He encounter a sexy lady detective who has latent psychic powers and is trying to save her recently departed sister's soul from hell. Making various guest apperances are the Angel Gabriel, Balthazar, the son of satan, and satan himself. I guess god was too busy.

It was okay I guess. The effect looked great and the casting was good. Keanu has been pretty good about getting away from the Bill & Ted thing. Major problems though exist in the fact that the story made no sense at all. Also, for a big budget film, there were a lot of continuity errors. Gabriel's wings appear and disappear randomly throughout the film. Pacing, though is the bigest problem, with the film moving very sluggisgh at times. Despite, this, it has a cool ending.

As for DJ qualities, Keanu get to play a hellbound, Psychic, Demon Ass kicker. You know the ladies would just fall for that ****. He gets to smoke at lot and look tough too. Unfortunately, since none of that stuff actually exists, they only girls you are going to get though are crazy goth chicks. But maybe that is your thing.

In general, an okay stupid movie. I would watch it again if it was on cable.
 

"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 wings do not need to be on everytime. Most watchers would understand that you cannot always see the wings.

The story made rudimentary sense, in that the plot was easily followed.

Yeah, I figured that out. The point is why did they bother to have the wings sometimes and not others. It is really a minor point considering that the real problem with the the film is that it moved really slow at times. Personally, I liked Hellboy better. Not as cool effects or casting, but it moved well and made sense.

Exactly where I want to be.
I saw this movie last night very, very high. It was decent, I think, and the movie theater had a solid hookup in the form of a large popcorn/large soda combo for only $6.50.

I'm not sure I would have enjoyed it if I wasn't completely wrecked, but it was entertaining, I'll give it that.

Also, I don't think Keanu's character actually committed suicide, did he? I thought he tried to and failed or something. Whatever, I don't know. :)
 

"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.

If they are real, maybe he could get my ex to go away.

I like 'The Exorsist' and all the myths that surround it.

Perhaps it doesn't stack up today, but still a cracker. I like that Max Von wotsit too, he's been in some of my favourite films. 3 days of the condor for one.

True. Keanu is not as bad an actor as a lot of people say. Mostly it was before The Matrix that they were riffing him left and right (Bram Stoker's Dracula, Speed). But then again, Keanu is probably now fearing typecasting from being Neo in 3 movies.
