Have you ever walked out on a movie?

Yep. Endless Love with Brook Shields. Even the promise of Ms Shields in her birthday suit was not enough to hold me. That movie was the absolute worst.

Should've walked out of The Rock with Nicholas Cage.
If I would walked out of Django Unchained if I saw it in a theater. But, I saw it at home and it was neat to see where it was filmed (eastern sierras) as I was living in Bishop at the time.

I haven't since I've been an adult, but on more than one occasion I should have.
If you told me that Charlie Sheen wrote "Year of the Dragon" while high on cocaine, I'd believe you without question. And I passed up that Frankenstein movie with Jennifer Beals to see that trainwreck too...
I didn't hate "The Thin Red Line" as much as my best friend from college, but then I'm not married to a Korean and don't have that level of encouragement to be enraged by overly sympathetic treatment of the WWII era Japanese. I simply found it aimless and with no meaning to speak of.
Ironically, both of these cinematic debacles were two of the most beautifully filmed movies I've ever seen. What a waste, like James Wong Howe spending $100,000,000 to do a ten minute porn loop...

I actually enjoyed that one, although it was more gory than I usually enjoy. I thought it was pretty good parody.
I vaguely recall being disappointed that they didn't use Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London" in the soundtrack. It's been so long since I saw, it I can't remember whether they actually did or not.

I've seen more than that, but I think the last new movie I went to see was "John Carter of Mars".
I'll probably go see the new "Jack Reacher" movie.
My God man, that movie had one of the greatest lines ever. "The difference between winners and losers, Losers snivel, I did my best. Winners **** the prom Queen."
Yes, the rest of the movie was trash, but Sean Connery delivering that line was worth the price of admission many times over.
As someone who returned to school at 50 + years old, I can't recount the number of times I reminded both students and staff of the above. Students just gave me a strange look, the staff, just left me alone, then gave me a passing grade.
No, but I was asked to stop snoring during Ishtar and Battlefield Earth.
I stayed awake for The English Patient because I knew Ruthie would grill me on it later.

Quick Change was the first movie I remember walking out on.
The Point Break remake was the most recent.

I walk out (of the living room) on at least 2 out of every 3 DVDs the good wife rents.

Heh, after walking about 3 miles at night-cold foggy weather-and I walked out after about 10-15 minutes. I never cared to watch any sequals either. I spent the time in the lobby speaking with some cute girl that sold me the ticket.
Now I remember Nr 2! it was: The Boogins.

SO, YOU were one of those two who paid to see it?
I remember when the trailer for that movie was being played before some movie I was to see-started.
The English Patient--dragged by a woman, but not even Marylin Monroe would be worth sitting though that abomination.

I walked out of the fist Lord of the Rings movie.
Didn't go see the rest of them.

I remember seeing the trailer for that movie too-and almost fell asleep watching the trailer.

Several over the years. Quit going to movie theaters about 10 yrs. ago, but about 5 yrs. ago went to see "World War Z" featuring Brad Pitt. The posters on the movie theater wall looked interesting. About 10 minutes after it started we looked at each other and I said, "Let's give it another 5 minutes." She agreed and we sat there for another 5 minutes. We didn't say a word to each other. We just got up and rushed out of there. I told my wife later the if that was the watermark for today's movie making, I will never watch another. .... And, I haven't...........
