It is inevitable. All the anticipation and tension culminates in a single moment of release. And then there is that exact pause. The dialogue stops. And all the words spoken before and after cannot recreate the same amount of drama and passion as exhibited in that one instant. And nothing is ever the same.

Such is the iconic and memorable Hollywood kiss.


     Rhett Butler: Open your eyes and look at me. No, I don’t think I will kiss you, although you need kissing, badly.
                           That’s what’s wrong with you. You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how.

     Scarlett O’Hara: Oh, and I suppose you think you’re the proper person.

     Rhett Butler: I might be, if the right moment ever came. –Gone with the Wind

It doesn’t get much cooler than that.
 
HOLLYWOOD KISS
Treyan Porter

I’m going downtown, I’m gonna get
Gonna get a Hollywood kiss
Just like the one’s from the old black-and-whites
On the silver screen, they had it right
Like they were searching for another place
And now I’m looking through the crowd for your face
And then stop, you walked in
You looked at me, I fell in love again

     Now I feel like a leading man
     And you look like a leading lady
     And this could be our scene right now
     I know it might be crazy
     But let’s pretend that we’re saying goodbye
     And the music’s starting baby
     So go and place your lips on mine
     And we can have a…

          Hollywood kiss
          No, let’s not miss
          This Hollywood kiss

It could be on a subway train
Or all wet, in the middle of the rain
Or an airport, saying goodbye
Take two, give it one more try
You know the people might stop and stare
I don’t care babe, they ain’t even there
Because I’ve locked your body around mine
Close your eyes, we’ll get it right this time

     Now I feel like a leading man
     And you look like a leading lady
     And this could be our scene right now
     I know it might be crazy
     But let’s pretend that we’re saying goodbye
     And the music’s starting baby
     So go and place your lips on mine
     And we can have a…

          Hollywood kiss
          No, let’s not miss
          This Hollywood kiss

     Now I feel like a leading man
     And you look like a leading lady
     And this could be our scene right now
     I know it might be crazy
     But let’s pretend that we’re saying goodbye
     And the music’s starting baby
     So go and place your lips on mine
     And we can have a…

          Hollywood kiss
          No, let’s not miss
          This Hollywood kiss
          I’m gonna get me that kiss
