This is more general than what you're asking for, but I do love to analyze, so... I think for me romance on screen tends to spring from people behaving differently. When someone honest is guarded, when someone confident hesitates, when someone callous is tender, when someone glib starts stammering, when someone quiet starts babbling. It's that contrast that lets you know it's important to them. And the rest follows from that.

Strega's a very smart lady.

I watched half of Something New without sound and that's a good source, too. Plus, that dude. Who is pretty in a way I don't normally notice.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

On my resume, where do I put "Author" and how do I document that?

Like, if everything looks like:

Senior Secretary
Allyson's Workplace
June 2001 - Present

Job Duties
Special Projects
Committees
Awards and Honors

Training Coordinator
Allyson's Workplace
June 1998 - October 2000

Job Duties
Committees
Awards and Honors

How do I fit that and EMA in? It just looks wrong to me however I try to shoehorn it.

You do a different kind of resume, and put your writing experience on the top, and your dayjob work experience below and less emphasized.

Basically you have a Writer's Resume which is separate from your Regular Job Resume. So list all your popgurls and online writing stuff.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Romantic scenes: The Big Sleep - the banter between Bogie and Bacall (over horses). Also! His scene with Dorothy Maguire in the bookstore. He comes on like a nerd, and she sees its an act and she takes off her glasses and...

Xander buying Cordelia the Prom dress.

Are you ready to be strong?

Thank you, you guys!

Strega, that is such a smart point.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Along the lines of what Strega said, the scene in the diner in "The Zero Effect," when he tells her stuff that sounds an awful lot like it might actually be true, and then forgets the receipt!!!

Oh! Oh! TV: In "Coupling," Steve's speech about looking at naked bottoms at the end of "Inferno," or rather the end and the bit just after, with the realizing what he's just said. Both comical and romantic! Actually, quite a lot of Steve stuff on "Coupling."

ETA: Oh! The, um, the scene in "Truly Madly Deeply" where, uh... actually, I can't so much think of a particular scene for the romance. For the total sadness, and the heart-touching followed by comedy, but not so much the romance. Other than the scene with the Pablo Neruda poem, which, well, having brought it to mind I think I'll go off and cry now.
