that's a huge percentage of puke! humans are disgusting. i saw way too many scenes of men peeing in public restrooms last year. i hate those scenes and they always come up! there was one i didn't mind so much but it was smart and 'classy' if that's possible...julianne moore, pierce brosnan...some other man...where she walks in to talk to him in 'laws of attraction' (silly/cute romantic comedy filmed in ny and eire)-- still...my LEAST favorite of movie scenes. i'm not fond of women's bathroom scenes either, but don't recall any recent ones. i don't keep statistics but those dang peeing scenes are too abundant and detestable!

Dang it, I wish you'd suggested bathroom scenes for 2012's weird stat. I might put it in retroactive. Seen six movies already, four of which are docs, so right now I'm 0-6.

I should toss out the 60 docs I saw for the % of films w/ puke in it. If I do that, the % rises from 9 to nearly 14%! That's too much puking.

I'm going to keep track of scenes in the toilet just for you HS. Should it be just any scene in a toilet? Even if people are just talking? Or, do they have to be officially doing their "business"? Your call.

wow, i get a choice in your stats! i think i'll go with toilet scenes that involve characters doing their business. ones in and around toilets that don't aren't nearly so offensive! unless you feel like breaking it down. have fun keeping your grose "P" stats...puking and peeing...ugh!

Okay, you asked for it. I'll keep it: people urinating in films will be the new bodily function stat of 2012. Ha. So far I'm 0-6 but four of those six are docs, so really 0-2.

i was thinking about the toilet scenes and realized that these scenes certainly are all written by men! i mean...do men really have conversations while doing their business? i know it's not film...but think i recall quite a few toilet scenes in 'party down'...including one with george takei and martin starr. while i get that the idea is sorta funny of these characters coming together in an awkward situation...i just don't want to see it! no thanks. i need to forget about your P stats for a bit, ha.
