I actually think that runpee's recommendation is likely going to be: watch the first 30 minutes, go to the bathroom at any point before the last 30 minutes.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

It's kind of sad not to have an automatic "Oh, there's Arwen, I can go pee now" signal.
edit: I have honestly never seen some of her scenes.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
they have the technology to do it. I use an app called Into Now which when you point your phone at the TV, it can identify the tv program (show and episode) you are watching!
RunPee can do this with movies, easy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Except that pointing your cameraphone at the screen in a movie theater will generally get you kicked out.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I think the RunPee app has a thing where you press a button when the movie starts, and if you have your phone on vibrate, it will go off at the designated pee moments.
(I haven't tried it, but I feel like I read something about it.)

jessica,
good point, but I only need to make sure sound gets to the phone, so I don't really need to point it at the tv at home. I can use Into Now if the tv is loud enough.
you'd probably need to turn the phone's screen brightness down though.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He really needed to do something small and speedy after LOTR and so far he hasn't.
Why? What does this do?
And yes, runpee does what Steph says--vibrate goes on (there are still viewers who will be disturbed by this--I got a guy pretty angry when I saw a movie while on call) and then you can read what happened before you come back to your seat.

IMO (and this is only my opinion) it would be a good antidote against bloat and pretension.

Is there a pattern of that?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I have never seen Phantom, because my hatred of Sarah Brightman poisoned the show. Also, I am not sure it was a very good show.
Scooby Doo (and Shaggy) do not belong solving mysteries. They are dumb and annoying. I was a very serious child, and I loved mysteries, and I really could not understand why Velma and Daphne and Fred hung
