"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.

Just saw the trailer. Really enjoyed the book. Not sure how they're going to put all that in two hours.

Anybody who read the books have any thoughts on the movie?

"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.

I read the book and loved it. But the book to me had a more documentary like feel and was epic on a grand scale. You go from this crazy general in India, to Israel, to the spread of the virus through illegal organs from China, to freezing zombies in Canada, the huge battle Americans lost, South African genocidal schizoprenics and so many things. I would have preferred World War Z to be more like a TV show where each episode would focus on one or a part of one story from WWZ.

The trailer makes the movie seem more action oriented, and the zombie animation looks bad for some reason.

Didnt read the book but the movies looks interesting, really hope that the "family thing" wont drag too much drama in it, Im fine with talking parts as long as their are not drama or b1tching.

Regarding the mass of zombies they remind me the spanish men in pamplona running away from the running bulls.
