Sometimes, when I’m watching a movie where there’s a kissing scene (or a kissing + other stuff scene) I think: “I’m so glad I’m not in the movies. I don’t know how they do all that without it going somewhere mentally where it shouldn’t go.”
Do you get what I’m saying?
Anyway. Yeah. I’m SO glad I’m not in the movies. And I’m glad Drew’s not in the movies. Because, seriously, I don’t want either of us kissing some other person – even if there are 4 lights, 3 cameras, and a film crew standing around watching…
Thoughts?
I totally agree, but then it makes you wonder how much we as Christians should be supporting certain actions on screen. Should we be paying people to pretend to sleep with other people’s spouses??? Thanks, now I feel convicted about the movie I subjected myself to just yesterday.
Yeah, I’m with Steph (shocker!). From a male’s point of view, ain’t no way all that stuff happens without it affecting you.
Hutch: GLAD you agree with your wife on this one! You’d be in HUGE trouble if you didn’t… haha
There’s GOT to be some connection between all the jacked up marriages in Hollywood and the unhealthy behavior their jobs require of them. NO WAY the money and fame are worth it.
That would be so weird to have to do that stuff with random guys. And yeah, I can see how it would go somewhere mentally and on occasion, physically. It does seem like actors hook-up soon after doing a movie together. Isn’t that what happened with Brangelina? At the moment I can’t think of other specific couples, but maybe some will come to mind later. Let me go dig up my Enquirer mag. (HaHa, just kidding, I don’t really have one. I promise.)
Right there with you sister. These lips are for my man and little men
my first reaction was to laugh and then i thought about it and it is so so true! i would hate that. it would just be weird to watch that. and that is something so intimate and important for a couple….hmmmm…i agree with Becky in the fact that it may have a connection in the messed up marriages and how many people make out on movies.
Not married. I am free to be a world famous actor, and “suffer” through all those kissing scenes.
I do agree however being famous, with no privacy, is not a job I would ever want.
Ed – not even if Ann-Margaret fell in love with her ‘leading man’ and you were paid millions for that ‘privilege’??
Sorry – my horns are showing!

i’ve had to do stage kisses before. NO fun.
in the future, i aim to NEVER have to do one again. for respect of my husband.
Drew did some acting stuff in High school… He had some sort of a kissing scene as well. He said he couldn’t do it. He & the girl. Neither could do it. I don’t know how they got out of it, either. But it was painfully awkward for him. They just… didn’t.
i even had to kiss one of my bestie’s fiance in college.
um…
ew.
As cute as you are!? That’s a cat-fight waiting to happen!
i reiterate.
never. again.
Watched Sandra Bullock’s interview on Letterman the other week where she talked about the nude scene in The Proposal. She talked about having “modesty stickers” over the important parts. All I could think of is “no way!”. Even with the pasties, you know what’s there.
Your “nakedness” belongs to your spouse.
Going to watch that interview now. I’m dying to hear what she says about it. Stickers? Definitely insufficient. But, then again, how far do some bathing suits take us? not much farther!
I can’t find it online!
I don’t think I could ever do a kissing scene. And I appreciate your honesty – you’re right – I couldn’t do it without anything happening in my mind that wasn’t appropriate. Although, for me, kissing someone else isn’t appropriate. So yeah, how is it that we pay people to do this? And how can I possibly reconcile that thought with the fact that I love chick flicks?
Mary – let me know when you find the answers to all those questions, because I’m asking myself the SAME stuff!
