Have you ever sat in a theater, needing to go to the bathroom so bad but trying to hold out for fear of missing a vital piece of the movie? Well, no more! I give you Run Pee.
This is so brilliant. Basically, you look up a movie you want to see and it gives you a little timeline with certain points marked out that are okay to run out of the theater during. Usually these are little scenes that are maybe character builders, but don’t really advance the plot in any way.
It will tell you something like, “An hour 23 into the movie, such and such a character walks into a room and says this” and then tells you, “You have 4 minutes.” So you can look through and find a suitable place to go. And here’s where it gets really brilliant, it will give you a little synopsis of the scene you are missing so you really don’t miss out on anything. But that synopsis is scrambled until you hit a button, so you can check it out without seeing any spoilers!
I heard about this a couple of weeks ago on NPR. I think it’s a great idea! I should have looked up Public Enemies before seeing it…
