RunPee!

Ron found this earlier on Lifehacker, and I thought it was quality enough for blog type sharing. First of all, these guys get points for the term "runpee" for what you do during lulls in a three hour movie after drinking a $5 large soda. Second, it actually looks useful.

Runpee.com is an online database of pee break intervals in movies that are currently playing. They also give you summaries (initially scrambled up as nonsense to avoid unwanted spoilers) of what you'll miss if you choose that moment to pee. I know for a fact that I would not have survived Return of the King if it hadn't gliched right in the middle and created an unintended intermission, so this seems like a good alternative to just not drinking anything before or during a movie.

time for a runpee

(I searched for images of "fountain drink" and this came up. Awesome. hehe)

the idea for runpee is brilliant, but the spoliers seem to be inivitable, even if you dont know what your missing, you know its not much if the runpee guide is telling you its expendable. its still funny as hell.

now as for the sheep drinking water from a fountain, thats the funniest shit ever! the pic brings the rest of the post to the next level.

I usually just guess when a lull is coming in the movie and run to the bathroom. i've been pretty lucky with my guesses, but if i know that a movie is going to be long i might just use this site to plan before i go.

And the sheep has now tainted water fountains for me forever. I'll never look at another water fountain the same again. i'll be thinking "maybe someone put their sheep up there!" I can't drink sheep water. I just can't. hehe
