    They went through all the trouble of getting finding this woman and dragging her down to the studio and they couldn't take a little extra effort above and beyond a kid in a paper hat?! Like maybe, actually find a sailor (which shouldn't be that hard considering its Veteran's Day and the reopening the Intrepid a few blocks over is literally stuffed full of sailors)!

    the original is a bit frightening... the sailor PRETTY MUCH has the nurse in a half nelson.

    I mean, nothing against New Year's Eve/New Year's Day romances, but shouldn't they maybe have sorta gone with a li'l old man to grope her? Or, perhaps, at least a li'l man?

    Uncomfortable. Maybe they shouldn't have chosen an intern who was 17 first of all. Second of all, maybe don't do it.

    @Richard:

    Meh. I've never really liked it. It's more like "violent face-smashing" to me than "romantic old-people kissing." His claws are digging into her hip skin and his arm is almost choking her. They're not even kissing, it's more like a lip-slam.


    Reminds me of some dates I've been on.

    @misssgolightly:


    I think the awkwardness of the pose is actually what makes it. The kiss isn't something normal that most of us are used to, it's something entirely different. It's desperate, it's jubilant, it's thankful the bad times are over...


    And that concludes my pretentiousness for the hour.

    My understanding is that they didn't even know one another... he just grabbed her and kissed her. And I don't know that they were ever in touch again.

    I don't know, the original looks just as creepy-awkward to me. Although Tyra might like the angles I guess.


    Also: is that what's known as Cupid's Chokehold?
