Did he direct the concert special? I thought he only directed the actual music video for "Express Yourself" (as well as "Vogue")...

He directed the performance pieces of Truth or Dare.

RunPee is an app that actually shows what movies have end credits scenes and how long the credits roll for.  Apparently, there is one after the end credits, and the credits run for 8 1/2 minutes.

 

It also has times when it's okay to take a bathroom break in the movie, and gives you a vibration when it's happening (you start a timer when it tells you too).  While you're in the bathroom, you can also read a brief summary on what's going on.

 

It's actually a really handy app.

Just downloaded it. 

 

I won't really need it all that much because movies in Portugal have an intermission but you never know!

Fuck outta here with that crap.

 

I don't see the issue with it..?

 

When I press the timer, I turn down my brightness all the way, hold my phone close to my chest, and do it so it doesn't disturb anyone.  It's only a vibration in your pocket, nothing loud or anything.  I only read the summary in the bathroom too, I don't check it as I'm leaving the theater

I guess I have the Bladder of Steel or something but I never have to go pee during movies. Even three hour ones.

It's not about it bothering anybody. Cool if you like it. I just think it's dumb for existing. Take a piss before the movie starts.

Going to see x men in half an hour. Does it have a post credit scene? Anything worth it?

Let me let you in on a secret 

 

post credit scenes are pretty much never worth it with the second one for The Winter Soldier being the only one off the top of my head that actually adds anything to the movie

[MrPink]

I drank some water and a large ass milkshake and waited all 2.5 hours + 10 minutes of power outage to take a piss, and when I pissed, I felt like Lloyd Christmas whizzing into a bottle before a cop takes a swig of it thinking it was a beer.

 

I also avoided ordering Nachos but I oh so wanted to. French Toast instead.

I do that, but I usually drink a bottle of water or so while in the theater, and for 2 hour plus movies, it can be difficult to hold in my bladder.

 

I don't use it for movies like Star Wars or Marvel movies though, if I have to go, I ignore it as best as fucking possible and try to get through.

I always pee tight before I leave to go to the theatre

Dances with Wolves lol? 

[Chewy]

if you gotta pee or take a shit then just go do it, there's no "good time to do it" unless you're just there to watch the destruction porn

[Dementeleus]

Reading a synopsis of a scene is totally the same as watching it. 

[Jack Nevada]

Wait, "times when it's okay to take a bathroom break"? What the hell does that mean? Knowing the app's audience probably "Nothing blows up for five minutes, go take a nice long shit in peace"

It usually does it during slow moments with little character or plot development, scenes where there's an unimpressive action scene, or scenes easy to sum up.

Decent for X-Men but nothing spectular. Alice is going to flop hard and make $95 million domestic.

Turn your fucking phone off in the cinema. Seriously dude it's not hard. And if you honestly think that a low-brightness phone doesn't disturb anyone then you are delusional.

 

I usually go to the loo once or twice in a film. I got no issue with anyone going to the loo. But if you need to pee just go fucking pee, don't fuck around with your phone and setting vibrations and notifications and plot summaries and shit. Jeez.
