I forwent popcorn and soda for Avengers Endgame cause I didn't wanna get up to go to the bathroom. Just took tiny sips of water when my mouth got dry. Worked like a charm.

Unless your body is already quite dehydrated, this strategy will be hit-or-miss on it's own. Improvenent is possibe by combining the above with relieving yourself immediately before the performance begins. If you relieve immediately beforehand and can't hold it for 90 minutes, there is likely a medical issue (e.g. old man, pregnant, etc).

Avengers Endgame is 3 hours and 1 minute long.

Some of that is credits, and maybe you should be able to hold it for 3 hours anyway, but some people do have medical problems. They should still be allowed to enjoy movies.

I never understand statements like this. You're replying to someone who already mentioned the former statement, and didn't say anything about the latter.

I wonder why the theaters won't incorporate a 5 minute intermission break for movies longer than 2h:20m (140 minutes, on the higher end for typical films).

Random but this app was founded by ex-NFL quarterback Carson Palmer's brother Jordan. Also still requires you to check your phone during a movie which should be immediate jail time across the board.

A live sports version of this app, predicated on the likelihood of a big play coming up, would be fun.

This makes me sad. Thor: Ragnorak was hysterical and probably my favorite Marvel movie so far. Maybe the old adage about the third movie being better than the second will hold true.

L&T is the fourth Thor movie. Definitely the worst according to Lucas logic.

Really? I thought TPM was the strongest of the prequels; AotC was by far the worst.
