"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Its been a while since I went to see a movie in the theaters but I think I might go see this one. It might turn to be sh1tty but then again it got cars and airplanes tranforming into a robots killing everything in sight and they also throw in a slutty looking brunette so they might have something here.
 

"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.

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.

Everyone is saying this, but I think it looks like another mindless action movie with big effects. Hopefully I'm proven wrong.

It's a Michael Bay picture guys. Lots of action and mindless storytelling.

What sets this apart is what the studio has at stake with the Transformers legacy. There are many more eyes on this than just the studio. They'll test this thing for weeks until they get the cut right for thier target audience.
