What is it with movies that kisses make everything all better. Like a girl is so upset and frustrated with the boy and when he kisses her and looks in her eyes she forgets all the anger and kisses him back? If i were to go up to a girl right now and kiss her it would just be an awkward moment probably followed by a slap in the face. nothing productive comes from a swift kick in the pants I tell you that much. Other than maybe that that kick sets you in the right direction, away from the girl who obviously was having a fine day until you came and ruined it. Now don't get me wrong, I've got nothing against kisses in fact I encourage them (ahem... ladies) But what really gets my goat is the idea that a kiss can solve everything! How shallow of a world would this be if a kiss, which after being over used is just two individuals sucking each others face and basically tasting one another's spit, could solve the most tragic of all our problems. The movie ends with the kiss yes but life doesn't. what do you think happened too those two after the credits started playing? My guess is they were happy for a bit until they ended up fighting over which coffee shop to spend the next hour in then she didn't want to take the subway but he knows its the fastest way back to the apartment and the game is on and he's missing it and thats why she was mad at him in the first place because he doesn't pay enough attention to her. Oh but don't worry because they will both recognize they were both being ridiculous and kiss and make up. See how lame that is? Makes me want to go punch Nick Cassavetes in the throat. Who? oh you know the director of 'The Notebook'. I've never seen the movie so I don't even know if they kiss in the end alls I know is that girls love it and people cry and it must mean there is a happy ending and as I stated before its not the kiss that makes it that way! If some of you are confused as to why I'm ranting so hard on this, I just got home from the movie mill. I watched 'Source Code' which I highly recommend to all you mystery, suspense, semi-action lovers. The movie was fantastic and I found the plot amazing! Similar to 'Groundhog Day' but not so much comedy or Bill Murray and it involves no hick town. Anyways in the end he kisses this girl and she is swept off her feet. Back to real life. I kiss this girl. We stop kissing. we both stand there awkwardly and... SLAP! There is no symphony of strings playing as the frame zooms out to display the beautiful city. No moment where we both smile at each other and go back at it until the fade out. Because there is no fade out. Life still goes on and usually with some pain in the cheeks. The ones on your face and figurative bum from the kick in the pants that follows almost immediately after. Kisses are amazing and are special. they should be treated special and only used when they actually mean something. What I'm really getting at is I wish movies could have kisses that make me feel like what I'm doing is right. That when I kiss a girl and she doesn't look madly into my eyes with fierce passion that its still okay. That when I mess my line up that I've been practicing in my head and just waiting for the right moment to use it, I don't feel like a complete idiot. I mean when I get it right, ya it feels like the movies! But movies only last about two hours, which means I need to come up with a life times worth of one liners and I give props to the man who does that. I hope that what you get from this is don't expect your life to be like a movie. Accept the rough times. Feel alright about blowing you shot. Don't worry your life probably won't end within the next hour after that so you've got plenty of time to make up for it. A kiss won't fix everything, but it will make it better.
