Ain't spoke for a while, but then again, not much has changed. My job still sucks, I still have deep seated emotional issues, none of the drains in my house work (meaning no toilets, no baths, no shower, no nothin')...

Yeah, life ain't lookin' too shiny right about now. That and it's been cold, wet and miserable for near on a week. Leave it to me to get Seasonal Affective in the middle of gorram summer!

I know I've seen some good screen kisses, but I can't bring them to mind right now.
Kissing never looks as good as it feels anyway
My first "grown-up" kiss... Eurgh. That's an unpleasant story. Not the kiss, but the story. I was sixteen and crushed on this guy pretty hard for awhile. He finally noticed, sort of asked me out, and we had a mini makeout session in a deserted hallway. Romantic, huh? Couple days later, he decided he really wasn't all that interested in me. He was a but definitely a good kisser. The only people I've kissed who were better at it than him were ladies

I've never really considered the validity of screenkisses. Having never done such things myself, can't say I have much to compare to.

I'm not sure which is worse, all these sordid pasts, or that I got nothing to compete with em.

Can't ever get enthused by face-sucking, unless it really means something in the context of the plot. I have no interest in watching other people having fun - it's like an invasion of privacy. It really ticks me off when a film decides to just have a random 'booty shot' or whatever, for no other reason than to show skin. What I liked about Zoe and Wash was the very natural feel of their relationship.

Oddly enough, I'm better with reading than watching - I think that what goes on in someone's head is more interesting. Imponderable - I read somewhere that this is more of a female thing, engaging the brain rather than the eye. A woman can be attracted to a guy who is not conventionally good-looking, but has a sexy mind or character. Any thoughts?

I have been very attracted to people of both genders who weren't really conventionally attractive; I just adored them. On the other side of the coin, there have been a few people who were incredibly attractive until they opened their mouths, and after that I couldn't feel that attraction again. And of course sometimes I think someone is attractive and then they open their mouths and I just have to forcibley restrain myself from squeezing them.
So yes, for me, the mind is the most important thing when it comes to both attraction and sex.
Of course, someone can be very intelligent but have oposite opinions from me. I can respect their opinions a little easier, but I don't want to be around them. So it's also compatability coupled with intelligence (or whatever).
I hope that made sense

Perfect sense, PR. Gorgeous, but the personality of tofu, does not do it for me. There are some pretty people as just need a smack.

Thought husband was cute when I first met him, and then he mentioned a very obscure book that I had also read, and we kinda took off from there.

Once dated a guy who was compatible every other way, but utterly uninterested in food. It was just fuel to him. So obviously that was never gonna work...

Good morning, all!
Sorry about yesterday; I was very busy at work and didn't have too much time to post. Hopefully, today will be a bit different.

Never really been a fan of onscreen coupling. Most of them seem a bit too perfect. Heck, in real life, bits get knocked against other bits, there are the ocassional "oops, sorry" moments, and usually a lot more passion. Same goes for screen kisses. I have seen a few (no movie titles coming to mind...still too early to think) onscreen kisses that seemed "real" and convincing, but I agree with the rest of you on that part.
I have also been attracted to some SO's regardless of looks. Honestly, I would rather have an intellect than the perfect body and face. However, the two do ocassionally meet in the same package. Case in point: my wife!

Alright, off to get coffee...hopefully this thread will jump today.

If a screen kiss works, it is usually because I like the character and not just because it's a sexy kiss. For example, I think Ewan MacGregor has some incredible screen kisses. There are some others that I can think of that work for me, but I wouldn't want to give away just what a cheesy hopeless romantic I really am.

Ah, I missed one.
SpaceAnJL, you brought up the male/female eye/brain thing. I've had this discussion before IRL with friends...we have come to a few conclusions. Mind you, these are all generalizations that hold true to most of the population, but not all.
Males are much more into the "visual"; things we can observe and not really have to ponder. Females are more into interpreting things their own way; taking in information and translating using their own guides. This means men would rather curl up with the remote while women would rather curl up with a book. It's also why men can somtimes have a longer attention span; ie watching sports, hunting, etc., but are sometimes hindered when it comes to drawing obscure conclusions.
Again, this does not apply to all men or women at all times. As we are a diverse species, there is never going to be a "law" that applies to all members of a sex.
Any other observations along these lines?

Morning all-
I've seen some on screen moments that had that great realism ( David Caruso in Jade near the end ), but generally I know how awkward they are to film and I just end up wondering stuff like how contorted are they and I wonder where his left hand is...and in the case of Underworld 2 is it possible to have sex with someone's navel?

with the difference with male/female in amusng oneself...what does it say about me that I read a book and watch t.v. simultaneously ( oh yeah right that I have ADD)

I choose to rise instead of fall- U2
