I was watching The Ice Storm (1997), and there is one part where Eljah Wood’s character, Mikey, [sub](Everything comes back to Elijah. You have to expect that with my threads. I’m shameless.)[/sub] pulled his gum out of his mouth and stuck it behind his ear before kissing Wendy (Christina Ricci). I presume he did this to save the gum, but all I could think was “I do so hope you wash behind that ear.” I found the action totally disgusting. Do people really do that? I would imagine people would get sick from that.
FWIW, my utmost respect for and complete adoration of Elijah has not been lessened in any way, shape, or form as a result of witnessing this action. For a milisecond, I found it endearing. I need a life.
