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.
Saw tenet for the second time glad I did!!!

"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.

People loved it or hated it, typical of a Nolan film.

Suspension of Disbelief is what we need right now, it was the greatest release it could of faced in my opinion... Was probably doomed if released alongside Star Wars or something.
I agree. While I love Nolan's films, I think this one may have been too much for the main stream public to digest.
It's interesting that he had the idea over 10 years ago framing it all together and then it took him 5 years to write the screenplay. Lot of thought process went into this just like many of his other films.
Inception is my all time favorite movie.
"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'm sort of looking forward to the release of Tenat on a streaming platform which will probably be in December. It is not like Dunkirk, where I had a sustained interest in viewing this even after a month it was released and was itching to see it, and eventually viewed it on IMAX. This one feels more blah hype-wise and the idea and don't feel as inspired to want to go out of my way to watch this. For a pandemic movie to really work, it has to outrank his other movies, not sit in the middle somewhere.
This is one case where they should have had a digital release along side the cinema release or just soon after, and if it's great, I'd go and want to watch it on IMAX once I clicked with the story if I wanted that type of experience.

Tenet just didn't do it for me, the plot didn't really interest me and I felt like this wasn't up there with Nolans other movies.
