RunPee.com tells you when it's safe to duck out of the theatre
You're sitting comfortably in your plush chair at the multiplex, when suddenly you feel a twinge in the back of your neck. A quick glance down at your 136-ounce cola and you instantly realize that nature is calling, and it's urgent.
You don't have time to wait this time, but next time you can plan ahead for your restroom breaks with RunPee.com.
The site lists spots in the movie when it's safe to disappear for a minute or two. Better still, it will scramble the spoiler if you only want to know when to duck out and how long you've got. If you want to know what you missed, just unscramble the text upon your return.
There are also loads of additional features on RunPee, like reminders and the Pee Times - a bit of reading material you can print and enjoy whilst one your break.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

I guess I can understand if you have a medical condition that causes you to go every hour (or more), but if you have a normally-functioning bladder, can't you just go to the bathroom before the movie and *not* buy the large coke?
It seems like that would require less effort than researching and memorizing specific times to take a break from a movie on this site beforehand.

Nonsense, Only the large comes with free refills. Same goes for popcorn at my local theaters/every one I have ever been to almost. If I'm going to pay that much damn money for soda and popcorn you bet your ass I'll get the large, finish it twice and get another refill on the way out for the fridge. I am one consumer who refuses to be screwed! Or at least tries to get screwed slightly less.

Nope. For starters the price difference between the 136 oz size and the 100 oz size makes the 136 oz size a huge bargain (e.g. $9.50 vs $8.50).
And secondly, it doesn't matter where I am, if I have a (Diet) Coke, it's always gonna be the mombo size.

Why would it go offline?

Don't trust the pee breaks for Star Trek. There are none. It's intense.

Pfft. Any time is a good time for a pee-break In Star Dreck.

would be better as an android/iphone app that you just start at the start of the movie and gives you a timer to ok time to pee/end of movie.

I don't know about Android, but it'd be pretty easy to set the timer in your iPhone's "Clock" application to the appropriate time beforehand, then start it counting down (with Airplane Mode turned on and the ringer off, of course) when the movie starts.
Also, @Lee: I can only speak for myself, but my bladder is just above my crotch area, not in the back of my neck. Might wanna get that checked, dude. :P

No they don't. Intel GMA 910 for example on my 2006 HP laptop wouldn't run Aero because it wasn't WDDM compliant.

Watch the logo as it animates, pretty funny.
I'd have to say that the website would be much more useful if it was mobile friendly. My blackberry's browser refuses to open the page.

Lee - was it so difficult for you to leave the first paragraph of text below the timeline in the screenshot scrambled? Not all of us have seen it yet... sheesh!

Uh...Why don't you just pee in the 164oz cup you just emptied? Theatres are dark, not like anyone's going to see you. Just place your junk against the inside wall of the cup so your pee swirls around the inside so anyone sitting close to you doesn't hear lavatory-esque sounds.

I never understood why theaters in the US did not have movie breaks. In India, all movies are split in two with about 10 min break in between to get snacks, visit the loo etc. It was really convenient.

Once upon a time, that was the case in the US.
