I don't think I've ever taken a bathroom break during a movie. But then again, I often go an entire work day without a bathroom break. It's my (totally useless) superpower.
Except for long movies, I guess.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I wonder how Bloomberg's ban on giant sodas will affect pee breaks during long movies.

I have taken a bathroom break in every movie, ever. I remember dying during the movie Casino, and my friend kept telling me it had to be over soon. Finally I ran to the bathroom about 2 minutes before the movie ended.

Y'all, RunPee.com is your friend. It tells you the points in a movie to go to the bathroom, so that you won't miss anything crucial (example: in Captain America, during his USO tour scene).

Because books.
I had to go during Inception -- I went during the beginning of the snow level. But that was another movie I thought had ended and wound up having another hour or something. Good, but long.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can make the odd work day without peeing, but it's not fun. I'd rather want to pee at work than have to have to pee on the way home, and it's pretty clear I'm not hydrating right if I achieve it easily.
Judging by my mum's bladder, I might be okay for single movies until I retire.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Kind of appropriate to be the movie in which you gambled and lost.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'd be planning to go even if they were giving it a 9% fresh, but still, it's nice to see.
Btw. What Calli said. I am seeing this movie when it opens. Even if that notorious New York critic actually LIKES it.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
My rule of thumb: No caffeine within 1 hr of starting the movie. No sodas during the film (I take a small water bottle). Pee just before the movie. If I do that, I usually don't have to worry about bathroom break during the film.
2 hrs and 45 min is pretty frackin' long though.

Rex Reed? Ha. Yeah, we'll see.
