This is not for you

I wrote a long post about Lacan and the idea of desire as something intrinsically impossible to fulfil, and relating this to people's preference for eroticism that excludes them rather than includes them. Then lost the whole thing, illustrating my own premise. Imagine a post that you will never read. It's bound to be much better than anything I could actually write.

I finished by saying the kisses on film that I think are most hot, which I know I have posted about before, but which relate to this idea that exclusion is related to desire. My own favourites are:

- keith allen and peter richardson in 'the bullshitters'
- linus roche and robert carlyle in 'priest'
- the two lads in 'y tu mama tambien'
- vincent d'onofrio and some guy in 'the velocity of gary' (I've never seen this film, just a clip of this kiss)

and a couple of heterosexual kisses

- harrison ford kissing the android in 'blade runner'
- jude law kissing jennifer jason lee's 'data port' in 'existenz'

Notably all of these exclude the female viewer, because they are men-only, or they are non-human in some way. Got any more kisses of any kind to suggest, or any thoughts on exclusion and desire?
