The Door Test

I blogged about this wayyy back when I first joined AnD, but there's a better edited video up on youtube so I thought I'd share with again. Hey, if this video even reaches one more guy out there the world is a better place.

The video I'm about to post is The Door Test from the film A Bronx Tale. Basically the rule is this: You take a girl out, you open the door for them and let them in, then if she reaches over to unlock the door for you, she's a keeper. If she doesn't, she's one of them selfish stuckups girls who take guys opening doors for her for granted.

The sad thing is most people in HK don't drive, so we're screwed. We can't put them to the door test, suddenly it's like a box of chocolates--we don't know what we gonna get.

The best part of the video, aside from the advice, is the fact that Colagero's girl passes the test with flying colors (pun NOT intended). It's beautiful because this was an interracial relationship at a time when it was frowned upon, but he didn't give a damn, he went for it, and he got rewarded. When I saw that with my best buddies Marvin Lee (Real Laker Fan) and Victor Chi (Hollywood actor), all three of us did fistpumps and a nod, cause he won one for us.

BTW, it is UNCANNY how much the actor who plays De Niro's son look like a young De Niro.

2nd BTW, you know how we tend to overrate those who die young/tragic? Bill Simmons argued that if De Niro had died after Heat, he woulda been considered the greatest actor of all time hands down and I can definitely see that. I got the new Empire mag yesterday (great editorial direction for that mag and unique story ideas) and the feature of the month is the 1001 greatest movie scenes. I didn't count but I think De Niro was on that thing like 14 times.

Anyway, I'm babbling, it's 5am and I can't sleep as usual. Was up doing Chinese-to-English translation of La Mer women's skin cream. I lost, yes, I know. I went from writing about movies for a living to translating lines like "the miracle broth soothes fine lines and maintains moisture". And the press release was in simplified Chinese, a complete butchery of the Chinese language.

But hey, you gotta do shit you don't like, before you get to do shit you like. That's life. I can spew more cliches but I'll shut up and let you enjoy the greatness of A BRONX TALE.

So here you go THE DOOR TEST
