In my mind, the only true winner is the one of the little superhero, who costars with Australian moviestar, Kurt Lazarus. Kirsten Dunst and Tobey MaG sort of changed the whole meaning of movie kisses. They spawned countless imitations (including a supremely sexy one between Seth and Summer, second season of TheOC), and showed how fab an anonymous makeout sesh can be. I actually have no recollection of any other MTV kisses ever. Because maybe they are totally unmemorable.
Ah, but TV kisses, that's another story. Veronica and Logan, first season, after they battle my second grade crush, JTT, ah now that is passion. And the following few episodes just keep getting better. Ryan and Marissa on the ferris wheel. Ryan and Marissa over and over again. Just youtube best kisses, and you will see for sure, that TV, for some reason, expresses much better kissy passion than movies. Maybe because movies can show sex, so they don't put as much pressure on the power of some lip action, as non-HBO/Showtime channels do. Ross and Rachel outside the coffeeshop anyone? How about Rory and Jess at Suki's wedding? Okay, some movies can do it (we have all seen Titanic, I get it), but unless you are Zac and Vanessa, or in a cartoon, TV has the category topped.
I can see your point about TV kissing being more passionate, but sometimes TV kisses leave me blue ballin', so I always feel that that has to be taken into consideration. Also, movies are all about the types of grand-gestured kissing, like when Colin Firth kisses anyone in any movie. The kiss that you've been waiting the entire movie for. Sometimes TV has this, but half the time they break up in the next episode and just angers me. In movies they always stay together, or at least imply that they're going to stay together forever because they don't have to fuck up relationships to garner new story lines. Also, I feel like movies have more "kiss me in the middle of talking" kisses, and those are some of my faves. So, um, TIE.
ReplyDeleteFair point. Kiss me in the middle of talking kisses are very passionate. And the whole happily ever after or waiting until the end of the movie do up the impact of kisses. But sometimes it feels good to see how the relationships pan out, a la tv or When Harry Met Sally. But seriously, shouldn't MTV have a Best TV Kiss category?
