Movie Site IDs Best Time for Bathroom Breaks

Website says when to empty your bladder at the movies

Share

(Newser) – You’re in the theater, watching the latest Harry Potter flick, when suddenly nature calls. What to do? Technology finally has the answer: A website called RunPee.com identifies scenes you can stand to miss when you jog off to the bathroom, the Los Angeles Times reports. In Harry Potter, for instance, you'll be safe leaving at minute 33 when Dumbledore says, “off to bed, pip-pip.” The site, also available as an iPhone app, provides summaries of the not-much-action scenes for those who insist on catching up.

The last 2 movies I've seen this summer sucked ass. I wish I would have stayed in the bathroom for the remainder of the movies. Please let District 9 break the streak. Reply
