I kinda like it if it is meant to be a spoof. We have so many of those “name a movie where someone does \_\_\_\_\_” threads. They’re begging to get made fun of.

No, it’s a thread with the most completely unhelpful and uninformative topic line and text I’ve seen in a LONG time.

…

Oh, you mean the thread in the _link_! Ehh, maybe.

I’m waiting for:

Movies with titles that have no capital letters

Movies that have a protagonist that never swears

Movies that have cats but don’t \*feature \*cats

and Movies that DO feature cats but don’t actually have cats in them

If it is a Whoosh, then I admit I have been whooshed, because I took it as a serious thread- and wracked my brain trying to think of movies where the people brushed… and then scrolled down to see that all my answers were given. =(

Stranger than Fiction\* for the win though- I do love that movie!

Well, when I saw the thread I immediately rented as many movies I could and reviewed them to find any instance of a character brushing his or her teeth…

Because this is such an interesting and important aspect to film that I’ve completely overlooked for so much time.

I just considered it a bit of mental exercise.

Certainly trivial, but still several notches above anything on freep.

+1  
And I now see that viewing movies through the lens of toothpaste foam adds so much to my understanding of cinema. Truly, a hallmark of excellence within the industry.
