Signature Kiss Comments on Jun 6

[*Delicious series of comments re the possible development of a 'signature' on-screen RA kiss besides the eternally classic one in N&S.  We'll definitely need to add visual evidence for some of these scintillating descriptions.  Excuse me for compacting paragraphs ladies...trying to conserve space for yummy pix]

Enrich2 said... There's never been a film kiss to surpass the utter perfection of the North and South kiss, so if that's Richard's signature kiss, he's king of the kisses! All his characters are very tender lovers.
There really wasn't enough love for John Porter in Strike Back. And I hope Lucas is allowed some tender loving before dire secrets are revealed!

RiCrAr said... Enrich, the scene w/Sarah, in Lucas' apt after the Russian left, was not exactly tender. Altho' she was up for it and gave him a strong shove back. Then in frustration he started throwing chairs around.
Didn't Richard mention during an interview that a female from Lucas' past makes a reappearance for S9, w/romantic overtones?...will be closely watching the kisses...haha..as if I didn't already.

Enrich2 said... Sarah just doesn't count as love, a passing addiction perhaps, but certainly not love! I understand why he wasn't tender with her. Lucas deserves some good loving after Sarah and Elizaveta and before anything drastic happens to him (Richard's hints)!
[*I know he's not kissing anyone in the following pic...there's just something about it I really like...can't explain - well, I could but then my keyboard would get totally messy from all the drool:^]

RiCrAr said... IMHO, Sarah might not have been everyone's preference as a love partner for Lucas, but he certainly exhibited the classic signs of a smitten male. Yes, he was thinking w/something other than his brain, but that's true for the vast majority of men. If it wasn't for the powerful hold basic human instincts have over the male of the species, there would rarely be a need for wedding dresses, etc;)
Be grateful ladies - if wisdom was the dominant drive steering a man's libido, we'd truly be powerless in matters of the heart. LOL When asked, the majority replying to the "do you believe in love at first sight?" poll responded that it should be called "lust at first sight". We'd like to think the spark of love was ignited by our keen intelligence or their discriminating taste, but it's usually a simple matter of mother nature lighting the fire w/the usual time-tested erotic kindling.
As for Lucas & Sarah in particular, he appeared to grieve as deeply as someone who had lost a loved one. And, why did he mutter "take me with you" to her after he learned she was one of the rogue intelligence officers? Apparently he still felt a deep attachment even at that point.

fitzg said... Lucas & Sarah? Weird script-writing? Or after accepting Elisaveta is forever lost, and being "away" a long time, probably a sitting duck for even stringy blond hair (not a great decision for the make-up dept. Or was it..?)

[*Stringy blond hair pic on the way...LOL...some men just have a thing for blondes in the same way we do for TDH greek gods;) Personal story on that topic...walking through a busy shopping street in Dublin w/my younger sister, who has long, blonde hair slightly darker than Sarah's but definitely not dry--very soft w/a lovely sheen.  I'm walking behind her...it's raining and I notice a man her age walking towards us with his eyes focused on her hair - he didn't look anywhere else until he was almost past her, when he realized I was watching him w/a smile on my face.  He sheepishly lowered his eyes and picked up his gait.  It was a vivid example of the effect blonde hair can have on some men]
[*Alona in BTS received quite a few hot kisses.  Perhaps one of the reasons Paul is holding his own in the early roles poll]

Sue said... I had studied his kissing technique. I notice that he tends to cup a woman's face in his hands and guide his lips to hers (phew!!!) probably to make it easier to keep his nose out of the way of hers. It does seem to cause a problem of where the lucky female rests her hands while his arms/hands are around her face. (I.E. Ultimate Force, VOD) as normally a woman would reach up to a man's neck but with his arms in the way she usually has to make a grab for his elbow, making it a little awkward. (I could think of better places!)Dawn French kissing him on her wedding day is a prime example of this.

[*making a list - kisses from UF, VOD*  back asap w/examples for the viewing audience;]
[*Laura of Ultimate Force is another female who turned down an RA character's marriage proposal, in order to stay w/a traumatized husband who tried to kill her in his sleep--stretches credibility to the limit:]

This was a delicious start to a rainy Friday morning. At least there is plenty of loving depicted here!

I still tingle every time I see pictures or videos of the North and South kiss. I like the John Porter pic, too. Richard looks wistfully beautiful as he leans in for the kiss with Danni. Oh to be in Alona/Julie's position, having Paul/RA gazing at you as you approach for a kiss! The Sarah kisses leave me cold. How can you not sizzle when being kissed by Lucas?
