NEW YORK — The mid-movie dash to the rest room can turn us into track-star wannabes: Ah, this looks like a lull — time to dash.
When we return to our seats, we pray the answer to “What did I miss?” isn’t “Darth Vader is Luke’s father” or “the girlfriend is a guy.” The website can help with such guesswork.
The site provides recommended opportunities to race to the restroom. It tells you when the action or romance wanes, and gives you a cue (“Baby O.J. is taken from Bruno”) for your exit.
The site tells you how long you have and even summarizes what you missed. Since early July, is available as an iPhone app, too.
Launched last August, RunPee took off earlier this summer. It has been one of the season’s runaway hits — a clever idea that has spawned a lot of word-of-mouth from moviegoers.
“Helping your bladder enjoy going to the movies as much as you do,” the site boasts.
