"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
so please, come see my film, if it not success, i will be execute... BORAT [merged]

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I learned about this movie yesterday; odd that you should bring it up. It looks awesome - apparently in one scene he asks a group of feminists if "women should be allowed to do the same things as men". When they answer yes, he asks why, because "it has been scientifically proven that women have brains that are the same size as squirrel brains". They (understandably) get homicidally upset, to which he responds "It is true! The prime minister of kazakastan has declared it so!"
Another reason for watching it (that I found on the netflix user review section on the movie):

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the DVD release.

I've seen it twice at pre-screening. It is the funniest yet most ridiculous movie ever. There is going to be such a public outrage once it comes out. I've been following Sacha since his Channel 4 days in the UK, and this movie shocked the hell out of me. 10x everything in Jackass Two. Doc approved, see this movie; it's a great theatre-going experience.

"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.
Looking forward to it!!
Does anyone else remember Sasha's debut as Ali G on the 11 O'Clock Show? It also had a regular spot by Ricky Gervais, and was co-hosted by McKenzie Crook (Gareth from The Office). They've come a LOONG way since then. It seems like they've all done their best to cover it up as it was a really sh!t show!

"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.

apparantly FOX decided to be jackasses and cut the number of theaters down from 2000 to 700 about, thinking nobody knew about the movie. are they retarded? it's been publicised like hell...

they are probably just scared of showing the movie because of how controversial the movie will be.supajsilver2 said:

Borat Movie
I know it's not out yet (comes out tomorrow), but I seriously can't wait. It's not a DJ movie, sure, but I've watched all the trailers and deleted scenes on youtube, and this guy is unbelievably hilarious.
I'm probably going to end up going to it alone because most people I know think Ali G / Borat is stupid and find too many things wrong with it to find it funny. I guess some people just take some stuff too seriously.
I honestly didn't know Kazakstan was really a country before I they got angry at the whole Borat thing. Now they're doing commercials on CNN to show how much of a nice country they really are. I think the fact that they're making such a big deal of it is backfiring and makes them even funnier as a people/country.
Anyway, I'll post a short review after I see it tomorrow.
Here's some of the youtube deleted scenes / trailers by the way: http://youtube.com/watch?v=JFVN59sR4lY...this one's funnier though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvQScRuZj9s&NR

"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.

MOST HILARIOUS MOVIE THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!
The hotel scene is the best and it is the most anti-semetic film that I have ever seen (do not hijack).
Definately worth your money.

"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.
