Blue Is The Warmest Color is a sexy, romantic little tale of two lesbian French girls

Be warned: It gets a bit hot and sexay at some points...bring a 'friend'

reply

It's a family movie. Invite everyone over. That fapping sound you hear is just the popcorn rubbing against the butter. Don't worry about it. Don't pause the movie.

reply

Was that one French girl named Popcorn and the other one called 'Butter' because they certainly did rub against each other and themselves several times!

I'm no movie critic but I give this one a hundred ⭐️s out of five!

Just a hundred? Those are rookie numbers. Got pump 'em up.

Pump, pump, pump!

A TV series is the best way to spin out sexual tension, a good TV show can spin out the wait and increasing tension for years!

Of course the fans are always disappointed when it actually happens, particularly if the tension has been building for several seasons.

reply

That can get pretty annoying though...it just starts to drag on for way too long, guys and girls just eventually wind up fooling around, it's not a big deal

Did Mulder and Skully get it on down to Chinatown?
I can't even remember anymore

This may have been an 80s-90s thing, I remember "Cheers" and "Moonlighting" spinning out the sexual tension for several seasons, and the fans being let down when the characters got down.

I never watched "X-Files", can't help you there, but I still maintain that TV shows are the best way to play long-term sexual tension. They made a TV show out of Horatio Hornblower, right? Well, I never saw the show, but the books set some kind of record for delayed romance, where both the main characters were in love but had to wait for both their spouses to die natural deaths. That would have been ridiculous in a movie, in fact it was ridiculous in the 1950s movie with Gregory Peck, but it could easily be done in a long-running TV show.

reply

I do remember Moonlighting (which was a fine show!) going straight downhill after the leads hooked up...That might be a good lesson for our fellow poster/writer types here lol!

reply

Black Swan was pretty tense on the saucy side, (plus most Dracula adaptions).

reply

Black Swan was a great example of sexual (imagined?) tension between Portman and Kunis
🔥🔥🔥!

I think all of the sexy stuff was in Portman's head but yep, that was some hot and tense stuff

reply

Agreed completely- it doesn’t help that I have a massive girl crush on both actresses but barring that it’s a brilliant movie choc full of symbolism.

reply

Oh yes, it was a great horror-thriller it was brilliant!

Plus, as a Hetero/average guy Portman and Kunis were super hot as LAVA!

Great movie, you can't go wrong with Cassel or Ryder either!

reply

Anatomy of a Murder, I always felt Jimmy Stewart could have screwed Lee Remick when he took her out of the bar and brought her home to the trailer despite her denials concerning adultery.
