"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Does Optimus Prime have the same voice as the animated series? God he had a sexy voice....
Yeah, if its not him its pretty similar.

Loved it, but whoever said its a guy movie I dont fully agree, I took my chick and she loved it.

Awesome fight scenes but too choppy and fast styles of action (next gen camera work wank, I wanna see more, not 2 seconds douches)

Few gripes, the overacting boy hero was as annoying as fvck. That brunette chick was too hot and momentarily distracted me from the total awesomeness of the transformers, and as if she would know that much about cars, by default shes too hot for car knowledge (crim dad or not).

That cutesy little decepticon cd player was sh!t house aswell.

Too much comic relief.

But the fight scenes, special effects and revisit of the coolest kick ass toys that cant even be matched 20 plus years later was definately worth it.
 

"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.

The voice of Optimus Prime is the same in the film as in the 80's original series, Peter Cullen.

I LOVED this picture! It was a bit hokey but I expected that from Michael Bay. The only thing I found perturbing was no Soundwave and Starscream was not the voice of his cartoon counterpart, Chris Latta who was also the voice of my 2nd favorite villain Cobra Commander.

Uhh... sorry to burst your bubble, but I believe that he's dead.
 

"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.

Saw the movie and thought it was great escapism/eye-candy. Just what a summer movie should be! Optimus Prime is still my favorite, and Bumblebee is a very close second. I remember Megatron (in the cartoon series) being much more sneaky and plotting, in the movie he's like a mindless, raging freight train with none of the cool evilness a good arch-villian should have.

I agree with the fact that the girl was "too hot", she's not believable as a High School student. (A Brazilian super-model, yes, but not High School)

It's NOT a boring movie and I think I got my $7.00 worth.

I thought it was a good movie but my only gripe was the lack of character development for the Decepticons. As WaterTiger said, Megatron is a clever, manipulative schemer rather than some mindless man man, but this didn't show. His voice sounded nearly the same as Optimus Prime's. I loved the orignal Megatron voice. And Starscream being the backstabber and plotting against Megatron's leadership didn't come through at all. Devastator was completely different from the cartoon and who the hell was that Decepticon police car robot? But overall, it was a good movie and perhaps as a big fan of the original cartoons and comics I was expecting it to be closer to the original.

The brunette was too hot for high school. And you had not one but two nods to "post feminist girl power" (expect that from Bay and Spielberg). The brunette could fix cars and the other one was the hot leader of a bunch of dorky male science/hacker types.
I would say most of the human characters were cardboard cliche characters but this is Bay and Spielberg we're talking about and I did go into this movie anticipating that the humans may get a lot of screen time unlike the animated shows.

But it was worth it just for seeing our autobots and decepticons. Good job considering they had to leave a lot of important autobots and decepticons out of this movie. Maybe next time we'll get Soundwave and Shockwave. And of course more Megatron and Starscream.

LOL I never thought to myself, that someone was to HOT for anything. thats just pathetic.

what really stands out though is..
the stupidity of Sam trying to pawn off valuable items that should have been in a museum just so he can buy a $2000 car is RETARDED and the fact that he plays himself in highschool having the entire class mock him, and he still continues to act like moron without any self esteem issues is EXTREMELY UNBELIEVABLE.

Why would 20 ft transforming cars with missiles and guns care about being discovered by some stupid kids parents and play a pathetic game of hide and seek.

why would michael bay include cheesy elevator music throughout the entire movie..and try to make me feel sad and sentimental about a transforming car ??

why is optimus prime a HUGE PUSSY !! why is optimus prime the only pansy ass robot that feels the need to protect humans ?

why do the autobots make obnoxious immature cheesy comments ?

why is everyones acting a complete joke ??

what was the point of the incredibly BAD humor in the movie ?

the only reason to go see transformers is the special FX and blurry action scenes.

and for the record steven spielberg is GENIUS !!! not to be put into the same category as michael bay.
 

"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 back, a little disappointed but straight after I thought it was pretty immense.

I would have liked to have seen more fighting and less emphasis on the humans.

I watched a torrent version because it's not out in the UK yet (I will be going once it hits the cinemas) but it appeared to me that Optimus was getting owned by Megatron before THE LITTLE BOY defeated him with the energon cube.

Tell me it was just the poor quality of the video and that Optimus beat Megatron himself.

Just not enough emphasis on the actual Transformers.

I much preferred the cartoon film which I watched hundreds of times as a nipper.

They got Peter Cullen for Prime which couldn't be better. But don't the filmmakers know that Frank Welker (Megatron) is still alive? Or did they make him audition (like they did Peter Cullen) for the role he made and then reject him. I would think they would offer the role to them, not even consider anyone else unless they declined.

Never sad they couldn't be hot,skilled, and smart but in the movies it's almost always the chicks. Guys who are smart and skilled are usually plain looking, unattractive, or unsexy.

If Spielberg is such a genius, they why did AI and his War of The Worlds both suck?

Uhh . . . sorry to burst YOUR bubble, but do your research before you blather on. Peter Cullen is not dead you fvck.
 

"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.
