movies you've actually walked out of

[MrMon]

Never on a movie, but I've come close. My wife and I have walked out on a musical though, at $40/ticket.

i've been known to pull out my ipod in the middle of plays. it's a bitch not being able to walk out because you know half the cast.

I had never seen a James Bond movie, but my friends wanted to see one during the Roger Moore era, so I went with them.

I fell asleep very early on.

When I awoke near the halfway point, my three friends were also asleep.

I woke 'em up, and we got out of there.

1. What Dreams May Come: Just stfu. I hate films that presuppose a certain type of heaven for 2 hours. Pisses me off. When I found out that Cuba Gooding Jr. was Robin Williams' son, I left the theatre. It was too much melodrama for one afternoon. I snuck into Eddie Murphy's "Holy Man" instead, which was fantastically amusing shithouse comedy.

2. Bad News Bears (Linklater's 2005): Couldn't deal with it. It was such a terrible re-enactment of the original. Billy Bob Thorton could never in a thousand years reach the same level of charm that Matheau did in the original.

3. Enemy of the State: This one I probably would have stayed for today, but back in college, these extremely loud and aggressive hi tech supsense films pissed me off. Plus, it's hard to see Gene Hackman play in these one dimensional acting roles when he was perhaps the best actor of golden age American cinema.

4. Idlewild (I didn't, but): I really wanted to. My friend said "I'm staying," so I stayed. Otherwise, I'm out. The film starts off quirky and fun loving, but becomes terribly repetitive and really just a musical film by the numbers. Since I dislike musical films to begin with, I wanted the [censored] out.

Probably more, can't think of any though.

Natural Born Killers.
I usually can make it through anything but just couldn't stand this one!

Cookie's Fortune (but I doubt anyone even remembers that piece of crap)
Elizabethtown - horrible film. Walked out after 30 minutes.

I like the Crow. It is a piece of crap but an entertaining piece of crap. I think it has a coolness factor and I like the set a lot.

I have never walked out on a movie that I can remember but I fell asleep in one - the Scarlett Letter. One of the worst movies of all times.

I really really really wanted to walk on Waterworld, but I was with some friends of friends and figured they would freak out so I had to suffer through it. Been to plenty of other bad movies but I've never walked out on one. Hey, I paid so I might as well see how bad it is.

One of the beauties of Netflix is that I will stop watching movies that are just bad. I've turned off more then a few after about 30 minutes.

I have walked out of two movies in the theater.

Austin Powers - Just not funny. I actually walked out in the first fifteen minutes. I didn't get what it was parodying, and whatever it was it was done poorly.

Sky Captain - Such a beautiful film, but so deathly dull. I made it most of the way through, but I have never felt so uninterested in a group of characters. Gwyneth Paltrow in particular failed to make me feel she was doing anything but speaking her lines in front of a blue screen. It is like when you go to a museum. I may linger in front of a painting, but I don't want to be forced to stare at it for three hours.
