When I watch movies, I always take pictures of the kissing scenes!!
Welcome to this week’s series: the awkward third.
Here is a typical awkward-third-party on the dance floor who are looking at the lusty couple. Can we take this out to the veranda?
This is the ultimate voyeur shot: the guard on the left is watching the visitation with one eye on the clock and the other on the couple.
“Hi! I’m the best friend, and also the third wheel! Gee! You guys look swell!”
This is a still from a 1920s silent (featured on Celluloid Closet) Harem scene, where the woman is being bent over a table of fruit (foreground) and disinterested guard (background).

The third is a bit hidden in this image. Someone is about to enter the room and discover the lusty smooch.
