Carl, you can almost see the stink lines.
Heh heh, better see than smell them. I remember that most of the gear used in War Hunt--wasnt even correct. Redford's acting in it was also terrible and no way to see the actor he later became.

Great line. Connery did have all the good lines in that film. For some reason I was partial to "Welcome to The Rock!" I remember annoying my friends for months afterwards with that line when answering my front door.
And the car chase through San Francisco. I know it's politically correct among movie connoisseurs to be all excited about the one in "Bullitt", but that airborne cable car was something else.
As for walking out of movies, I don't remember ever doing that. I either knew enough about the movie that the situation didn't occur, or I went to a movie that wasn't my choice with somebody else, and the somebody else was usually more important than whatever happened on the screen
.Since I'm netflixing/streaming, I peek into a lot of movies that I end up not watching, but I guess that doesn't have the gravity of walking out of one you've driven to and paid for.

The first time I saw it-I THOUGHT it was going to be a real War movie with plenty of action-boy was I wrong. Fast forward about 10 years (which was about 30 years ago) they showed it as a matinee summer movie-so my friend Sy and I went to see it. It didnt change my opinion any-and we mostly payed attention to that gallon bucket of popcorn we each had-and the candy.

I haven't, but I did start snoring during "Fool's Gold", which my wife had dragged me to.
I've always thought it interesting how one man's "worst movie ever" is another's "favorite of all time"!

I don't remember the last time I walked into a movie theatre!! I can't stand sitting there with a bunch of strangers that are busy stuffing their faces like pigs, rather than watching the movie, making all kinds of food related noises unwrapping, chewing like they have not been fed for days, talking etc... Who needs that when you can sit in your family room and watch just about anything you want in the privacy of your own home with no one bothering you and pop a cold one to boot.

Walked out of a movie about 35yrs ago.Was waiting in line to buy tickets with my now ex-wife when a young couple offered us their tickets for free.Just thought they had an emergency of some kind so never gave it any further thought.That was before multiplex theaters so you didn't have multiple choices to see something else.
At least the few minutes of agony we sat trough didn't cost anything.

The movie I wanted to walk out on was Deliverance but didn't because we were with another couple. I still consider it way up there as one of the most disgusting movies ever made.

Frank Zappa's 200 Motels. There ain't enough drugs and alcohol on the planet for that to be any good. Can't remember why I went to see it in the first place.

Not to mention that you don't have to wear pants at home. Movie theaters are very narrow minded about attire...or lack thereof.

Rocky Horror and Spinal Tap. What a waste of film.
Never walked out on one in a theater, but I have stopped watching a lot of rentals when I realized they sucked. When I was about 11 or so, my parents made me go sit in the car during Deliverance.

If it's a movie I don't like the wife will wake me when it's time to leave.
I was dating....
I was dating my present wife back when 'Thunderbolt and Lightfoot' came out. About halfway through it got so crude that we walked out. Disappointing for a Clint Flick. Things were much more proper in those days and wife wasn't used to all that.
Another one I was enjoying (I don't think it was at a theater) was 'A Fish Called Wanda', when it got to the point where the guy was threatening to eat the fish we turned it off and never finished it.
I've sat through some really awful stuff, much worse in fact and it may have bothered me , but I seldom snapped anything off so fast. I STILL don't want to see it unless somebody tells me the fish is ok.

You go to "Rocky Horror" for the AUDIENCE, not the movie.
