Ever walk out on a movie?

[Merelan]

And why? Was it the movie? The company? or what.

I walked out on Richard Pryor's Live on Sunset Strip. It had nothing to do with the film. It was the simple fact I was 17 and the only white person in the audience. The "ladies" attending were making it very clear it was going to be safer and wiser for me to leave quietly.

You know, I never have seen it. Other then that I haven't ever walked out. Though there were a few times i was tempted, and I have been known to doze off. During BIG, Dante's Peak and Chicken Run. not that I didn't like any of them but was seeing them at the end of very long, hard working days. Not a good choice for entertainment. A dark room, peace and quiet, no annoying customers...

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

See Big Again...

I couldn't stand AI...I wanted to walk, but put up with it's lousiness...I love Kubrick, and love Spielberg, but this wasn't good of their talents...I dunno', I'll have to see it again...

 

[Adoratrice]

Austin Powers , the first one..........we took the kids to see it without knowing anything about it and we must not have paid any attention to the rating. We usually see a movie then decide if they can see it.............we stayed about 15 minutes and decided it was time for an Ice cream.

There's only three times were I've walked out of movies, although I'm not sure you can count one of them. Anyways, the first one I walked out of was "Nothing to Lose". Saw it later and liked it a lot, but the first time I saw it a friend had gotten the times wrong and we got in about twenty-five minutes into the movie.

The next one was "Why Do Fools Fall In Love". Walked out of that one because it was just boring for me. Never did finish it afterwards although I've been tempted once or twice.

Walked out of Phantom Menace also. Not sure if you can count that one though, since I saw it already and WAS just planning to go this time for the Pod Race scene and the final Jedi battle. Still, that movie wasn't that great to begin with despite its good parts. And right now I'm hoping the Star Wars fanatics don't try to hunt me down or anything.

Only once.... that Stallone flick where he tried comedy...... we decided getting a hotel room would be infinitely more entertaining.

BTW the twenty minutes of it that we weathered, was enough to convince me that it was THE WORST MOVIE EVER.

So bad that I have apparently repressed the name.

 

[Siren]

Almost walked out on Scary Movie

 

[Merelan]

perchance you mean "Oscar"? Where he plays "Snaps" Provalone. A gangster trying to reform?

 

[cymbidia]

Yep.

I've walked out on a few:

1. Steve Martin's Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid cuz it was just stupid. Maybe it was my mood, or the person i was with, but it was stupid beyond belief, and not funny-stupid, either (which i maybe could have lived with) but just plain stinky stupid.

2. Pee-Wee Herman's movie - can't remember the name. It, too, committed the egregious error of being just plain stinky stupid. Besides, i DETEST that laugh of his.

3. Something foreign (and usually i love the foreign movies that make it here) along the lines of The Cook, Her Lover, His Mistress & The Butcher (... the Baker, and the Candlestick maker...). It just sat wrong on me. I've since heard it had redeeming qualities so i guess i should give it a second chance one of these years.

4. WAY more than one horror movie. I *don't* like those kinds of movies and *don't* know why i keep ending up at them (maybe i'm a masochist?? ), only to cower beneath my sweater and, finally, flee the theater to wait outside on a bench, forlorn and alone, until whomever i went with comes out, too.

I think that's it.

Bingo you get a cookie

 

[bluntforcemama]

I have never walked out of a movie. I've never felt it was THAT bad.

 

[RisiaSkye]

I wish I had...

but by the time I plunk down 8 bucks, I become very reluctant to not give it a chance. I wish like hell that I had walked out on Very Bad Things, John Carpenter's Vampires, The Talented Mr. Ripley (what a nice homophobic little film. How can that many people die without there being an actual plot?), Mystery Men (when even William H. Macy can't save a movie), Phantom Menace, Jurassic Park II.

I'm such a sucker. Get me in the theater, and I'll stay. No matter how wretched the dreck you put on screen. Feh. Big feh.

[tmuyo]

one of the worst that i couldn't put up with....

walked out on wild things....i just couldn't handle the cheesy porno plot.... if i wanted a porno plot i woulda rented one.

 

[shadowsource]

I never walk out, but

I did walk out on Lars "von" (he added it to his name) Trier's first US release, ZENTROPA. Total crap about postwar Germans and a train, it made him a cult figure and prefigured that incredibly silly bell-ringing angel scene at the end of BREAKING THE WAVES. He should be throttled.

YEAH!!!!! I did that, too. I just saw a movie, and my parents were still watching their's, so I slipped in right at that scene.

 

[nasty]

ALMOST!!!!!

I thought about walking out of "Wishmaster." DAMN, that was one of the WORST HORROR MOVIES EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Cheyenne]

Once. I don't even remember what it was about except based on the person I was with, it must have been a horror movie. We left and went to the next theater over to see one of the later Star Trek movies. Since I hadn't seen the first ones, I didn't have a clue about some of the plot. It wasn't a very good movie, either.

 

[doctor_insanus]

The Untouchables

Not because I didn't like the movie. The girl I was with got squeamish when DeNiro took the baseball bat to that guy's head!

Sheesh...

 

[Barb Dwyer]

I not only walked out of "Mr. Wrong", I demanded my money back. The theater refused to give me cash- saying they had to submit receipts to the studios and for overnight ratings. I'm convinced it grossed $477.75 worldwide. Instead they gave me a free pass for a future movie.

The only fun to be had while suffering through it was seeing how many times I could spot the boom microphone in the scene.

 

[Problem Child]

I usually only go to movies after I've read reviews and heard enough word of mouth "buzz" to make me think anything is actually worth seeing (I don't see a lot of movies in the theatre).

The one time I actually got up and walked out was during Waterworld. I had been hearing for months what a dog it was going to be, but my girlfriend begged me to go see it because it starred Kevin Costner - Whoop-De-Frickin-Doo!

What a piece of shit.

 

[Bubblegum *sugarless*]

I walked out of Cool Runnings (about the Jamacian bobsledding team). I was bored to tears about 30 minutes into it.

I have since watched it on video (after smoking a few bowls) and found it amazingly funny.

Also, walked out of Waterworld. Ughhh....that was a bad movie.

 

[Xander]

I have only walked out on a movie once.

Copycat

Whgat a piece of crap.

 

[Pyper]

I have never walked out of a movie. I have this weird thing that if I pay 8 bucks to do something, I'm going to do it no matter how much it sucks.

I wished I had walked out on Mission to Mars. It is absolutely mind-blowing to me that such an expensive movie with so many big stars could suck so hard.

I came very close to falling asleep during the film version of Les Miserables with Liam Neeson. Man that was boring. The funny thing is, I thought the book was great, and that was written a loooong time ago.
