When’s the best time to pee during an Avatar movie? The question has been asked by movie-goers since the dawn of time — and dinosaurs didn’t even have traditional bladders, so that’s saying something.

With the release of Avatar: Fire and Ash, James Cameron’s third trip to the Alpha Centaurian moon of Pandora, the problem of how a mere mortal is supposed to drink a 44-ounce Diet Coke over the course of a three-hour and 17-minute movie without missing a key beat is once again rearing its head — and even Cameron seems aware of the issue. If you find yourself crossing your legs and clenching your pelvis muscles at the two-hour mark, there is a terrible (but hilarious) moment for you in Fire and Ash.

But first: an answer to the eternal question. Or a few answers: If you want to know when to duck out of Fire and Ash for a tinkle without missing anything, you have to look inward and define “anything” for yourself. Fire and Ash, like its predecessors, is a whole lotta movie. You might be there on day one for the action. Or maybe you just want to see what wacky stuff Cameron has cooked up for his CG characters this go-round. Perhaps you have spent the last three years mourning the loss of Neteyam after the events of Avatar: The Way of Water, and need to see how Neytiri suffers through the loss. Whatever the case, there are various lanes in which to operate when it comes to pee-break........
