My attempts to tell straightforward stories, share observations and make cultural commentary momentarily interrupted by this extremely interesting detail that absolutely cannot be omitted.

The Bridges of Madison County...
...is a pretty good movie. Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood have good chemistry and, as always, Mr. Eastwood is a skilled and sensitive director. Just one comment: Clint is a sloppy, old-man kisser. He's mostly very sexy, but every time they go in for kiss I find myself pursing my lips, as if I can somehow instruct him to tighten up a little bit. It's just... I don't know... lippy? There's a lot of floppy lip just sort of out there, like he expects Meryl to chew on it a bit. It's weird... It's very AARP and, I don't know, it's like I can smell the halitosis and Depends coming my way.
Judge for yourselves. This is a nice scene otherwise, but the action starts at about 4 minutes into the scene. A bonus, this clip is dubbed in Spanish, for just a little Almodovar flair.
Side note: the actors that play Meryl's kids are awful and some of their scenes feel, um, incestuous? Yeah... incestuous fo' sho'.
