silversolitaireI see to find myself in a state of... romantic disillusion. I'm really eager to read and watch romantic stuff. Not that I'm very successful with that... mind you. Anyone got fics by any chance? I'd especially like erotic fiction involving James Bond. I'll take anything, even het, provided it's not a horrible Mary Sue. I'd also like some slash involving Joaquin Phoenix characters. Or Monk-slash! OMG... does this even exist? Nice Grissom slash would do too. OMG ANYTHING but Harry Potter, LotR and Lost. Nothing against those, but I really want something fresh and new here... Rare fandoms that I happen to know... SOMEthing... *desperate*
What I'd really like... is gentle kisses. Somehow I find those the most erotic. In movies, when you can hear the kisses... and soft sighs and moans. Oh yes, I find that really erotic and arousing, so hear it when people feel pleasure. And I'm not talking about fake porn moans here, but honest sighs of heartfelt pleasure. Ah... This is one of the reasons why I really like the sex scene in Die Another Day. Because you can see how much. When Bond sleeps with Jinx it REALLY affects him. You see how it shatters him, to feel a woman close again after such a long time of being locked up and tortured. I love it how he groans and sinks into the pillow and then he pulls her close to his body again, wanting to feel her all over. I like it when men show pleasure.
Because of that romantic disillusion I have watched Pretty Woman again. Not that I need an excuse to watch it, mind you, I really love that movie. But... I just felt like watching it again. I love that scene when she kisses the sleeping Edward and he wakes up, embraces her and then they start making love... *fans cold air* Yes, that is a romance scene to my liking. Although, if I really could make a request I would make the scene longer and slightly more graphic. Not talking about anatomic shots here of course, but a little bit more of those kisses and moans and a bit more moving action. That would be the sweetest.
Anyway, upon watching it I realized once again that now that I'm grown up and no longer a simpering 12 year old I find the ending little satisfying. Sure, Edward arrives in his limousine like a knight in shining armor and sweeps her off her feet! But... what changed? I didn't see any change. Did you? She told him that she doesn't want to come with him and have him set her up with a nice condo because then she'd still feel like a whore. She'd be the kept woman and she doesn't want that. She wants more. And Edward makes it quite clear that he's not willing to give her more. Maybe he could give her more later, but not now and Vivian is unwilling to give him time. So, it's not looking good. Then we see him moping around a bit, regretting having let her go... and that's supposed to change it all? We know he has a history of losing interest in women quickly. He may express mild regret when his girlfriend tells him she's moving out but other than that he doesn't really care. What tells us that it will be different with Vivian? What tells us that he won't grow tired with her after a while too and kick her out? Certainly, the romantic in us tells us that of course it'll be the perfect happy ending and they'll live happily ever after yaddayadda and Edward would never do this! But let's be realistic, shall we? So, in gist, I feel unsatisfied with the ending of Pretty Woman. Feel free to disagree of course.
And now... I shall go find some nice fics maybe... Hahaha... *grimace* Where do you FIND fics nowadays? I'm so out of it, no more central archives, Slash Database hopelessly outdated... it's a pain in the ass. *grumbles*
