Sex & Movies

Now, I'll tell you right up from, I'm an 80s child. I was raised in the big hair, wild clothes, parachute pants era where male rock bands had longer hair than the women and wore spandex.

It was also a time where just about ANY movie (unless it was a Disney movie) had a love scene in it. You were guaranteed a steamy kiss and a love scene that ranged from mild to nearly pornographic. Let's face it, even in PG13 movies you were likely to see a woman topless.

Then came the 90s.

Not sure what happened in the 90s until recently. As a romantic a heart, I love for the guy to get the girl in the end, and it just isn't a movie if they don't at least kiss. For instance, we just watched a movie where the guy and girl wanted each other. There was pretty decent attraction there and in the end they even said they loved each other...but not once did they kiss. How wrong is that?

Then Underworld Evolution came along. Now, I'm not one to like to be grossed out, and the gore was nearly too much for me, but when we're talking vampires and Lycans, you kinda expect gore. But what had me nearly giddy with delight was that it brought me back to the 80s with the love scene was that smoking hot! It also helped that I loved the first movie and forked out money to hire a babysitter to see this movie, so you know its something I really like.

Now, I realize that the US was founded by the Puritans that were kicked out of England, but come one folks. Have you ever seen the commericals they have in Europe? Billboards? Can't we find a happy medium here?

Here's hoping that the romantics out there get the love scenes and steamy kisses we dream about for weeks afterwards to return. :)
