Speed 2, but not before my friend and I pissed on the carpetted wall next to us.

I would have walked out of Battlefield Earth, too, but my GF actually LIKED it.

not yet. In my film society days the most walkouts we got was showing Audition (Odishon), an ultra-violent Japanese film. It's actually worth viewing, which was a shame.

Jenny says she came close on Monday to walking out of Children of Men.

I've not yet felt the urge to leave. I've squirmed a bit in my seat, fallen asleep (Harry Potter avec famille) but not yet wanted to leave. If i ever do, I will.

Ferris Buellers Day Off - left it and I wasn't alone in leaving.

Only You - Robert Downey Jr movie. Had to get up & go from the front row.

And the record for most walk-outs I've seen was at "Salo - 120 Days of Sodom". I sat through this one. But 75% of the theatre (and it was full when it started) up and went.

Yep put me in the "never walked out of a movie" crowd. Have walked out of at least 3 plays though.

A Day Without a Mexican. Good tagline, vapid and pointless movie. The theater manager refused to return my money too.

Yeah, right. I claim BS. Anyone with 2 posts who claims this has no credibility. Someone *** him.

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.

This is one of those movies that looked so great in preiviews, yet disappointed badly. I actually saw it in the theater, I know it's not good, yet when I see it on a TV set, I'm still drawn to it. It just somehow looks better on TV than on a big screen. Still a bad plot, dull, but damn if it isn't pretty on a small screen. It's almost the reverse of "Lost in Translation", where I hear a lot of people had trouble with it on the small screen, yet the big screen audience loved it. (And I promise never to compare "Lost in Translation" to "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" again.)

I have a feeling that when they were making Sky Captain, they never bothered to blow it up while adding the SFX, thought they had something wonderful, then put it on the big screen and said "WTF?"
