Prime time for a potty break during a movie? There's an app for that.

[Baitball Blogger]

I'm at "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" the other day, cradling a drink the size of Marlon Brando, 40 corpulent ounces of sugar water priced higher than Texas crude. If this thing capsizes, I may well drown.

This 40-ounce Coke is considered a "medium." Presumably, the next size up is Lake Powell.

Why so much soft drink? It's part of my test of a quirky movie app that tells you the best time to take a bathroom break. In this age of ever-longer movies (and ever-smaller bladders), it seems the perfect fit for me.

What you do is download the app, click when the movie begins, and your phone will vibrate during predetermined slow spots, indicating restroom opportunities.

2. Cool concept...

Though I feel I've mastered the art of finding the lulls in films. I tend not to miss much. Other people will run off during the climax or other crucial points, always makes you think wtf, why didn't you go 5 mins ago?
