I too dislike people dashing out to go pee mid-film, disturbing the action for others in the cinema. That said, I was forced to take at least 3 toilet breaks during ‘Titanic’ – I blamed it on the volume of running water on screen, as well as the sheer mind-numbing boredom induced by the film itself.

Ahem, I believe gentlemen of the dicky prostate persuasion might actually find this quite useful, you ‘orrible younguns.

I need this: I urinate once a week … but my favorite movie is Shoah. (The talky bits are the ones to miss.)

Someone once told me of another movie-reviewing system, also involving urine. You drink a large coke as quickly as possible right at the start of the movie. If you end up enduring the discomfort rather than miss a precious two minutes of running time, that means the movie was good. Of course this guarantees that all good movies will be watched in a state of low-level panic and irritation but such are the demands of science.

I remember when films like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Lawrence of Arabia had an intermission – for pies, popcorn or a pee.

Breaking the seal just before is a bad idea, no matter how sensible it might seem. Not only are you breaking the seal, you’re acknowledging the possibility that you might need to go during the film, which puts it in the back of your subconscious like a ticking time bomb.

I had to go 30 minutes into Watchmen at the IMAX (at least i’d already seen it). That was MOIDER. If I drink beer before a long film there’s no way I’ll make it thru.
