Pirates of the caribbean 3
I fell asleep during Pink Floyd: The Wall. While I didn’t physically leave, my brain walked. I have to admit, I’m really not sure that it was the movie’s fault…I was tired and wasn’t a Pink Floyd fan but that was the early 80s when I HAD TO SEE EVERY movie that was playing EVERYWHERE…
I saw Videodrome with my sister & her boyfriend. They both nodded off. I was stunned.
indiana jones and the kingdom of the whatever. worst. movie. i have. EVER. seen.
it was more disturbing than salo, would have walked out of that too if i was watching it in theaters
‘Multiplicity’ (need you ask?), Sea of Love (driven out by angry ex-attack), Tony Harrison’s ‘Prometheus’ (sheer torture), ‘Blade Runner’ (can’t remember which of the 57 versions it was: the most tedious anyhow. Evantually saw the latest and thought it was okay). Plenty more I should have but didn’t or couldn’t…
People who go with me are the ones who walk out, not me—my 20 yr old nephew walked out of Dawn of the Dead after 10 min of watching and came back to pick me up after movie was over—my date got sick at a showing of Polanski’s Macbeth and waited for me in lobby for 1+ hr until movie was over—a female colleague of mine walked out of La Grande Bouffe when Marcello Mastroianni was covered completely by shit and piss as his commode exploded. Can anyone top these walk out episodes?
Bobby, That is evidence you are a true cinephile, that you made your date wait in the lobby for over an hour.
Has anyone seen Salo in theatres? How many people remained in the theatre when the film ended?
The Spirit, I just couldn’t take anymore! Then there was Australia, didn’t walk out cause I was with family…..but I really wanted to! Lastly, there was Cloverfield in which I sat near the front and got so sick and nauseated that I got several complimentary tickets from the theater :]
I don’t recall walking out on too many. The latest one was State Of Play. I saw it for the same reason I walked out. Boredom.
Minority Report
I hate Colin Farrell
I almost walked out on The Fountain because it was just bad
BUT I DID walk out on The New World. I saw it with my parents and we were bored stiff by people running through fields…..
Allegro, the danish film. I couldn’t stand dialogues and situations. Simply I walked out
Not even Rob Zombie’s “Halloween” made me walk out on a movie. Yet.
The trick is not even showing up inside the cinema in the first place.
The Rock Right after the “they got Johnny I’m going up there” scene. Only film I ever saw Sean Connery in where he looked bored.
Fay Grim Felt I’d been winked at by Hal Hartley once too often.
“The Black Dahlia” by Brian de Palma – I left. It was so weak – too much going on – the worst acting. It felt like it was just cobbled together using some big names and a intriguing noir plot. I love the work of both Brian dePalma and James Elroy. This was a BIG disappointment. Sorry Brian and James!
The Reader, which was a piece of melodramatic, formulaic bull shit. Winslet should of lost the Oscar to Hathaway, fucking Oscar politics.
Corky Romano. Spiderman 2. Mimic (probably the first film I ever walked out on)
I loved The Fountain.
“The Cook, the Thief His wife and Lover. I made it up to the child molestation scene and that was the straw. The very name greenaway just gives me the sours to this day.”
I love this film. so shameful of your sir!
Tarsem Singh’s The Cell. Sadist crap.
The Hills Have Eyes (the recent one)
- Sorry, I don’t really want to watch a bunch of inbred psychos rape some innocent women for 10 minutes.
Street Trash
- So I guess I didn’t technically walk out of a theater for this, but I walked to my room while my roomates continued to watch. Any movie that treats the gangrape and murder of a woman as funny is not a movie I would ever want to watch.
@ Evan Calderara.
I loved The Fountain too!
Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian, I didn’t walk out, but I decided to get some shit done, so I did my taxes, called a few people, listened to some podcasts, checked my email, brought a flashlight, bought a few things off Ebay, hey, I got two hours to kill, might as well get some shit done.
Hustle and fucking Flow… damn that sh*t was bad.
Black Snake Moan…. yeah this director dude from Memphis or whatever…. he sucks bad.
Fell asleep during Atonement, literally 5 minutes into it. Girlfriend was elbowing me every 10 minutes or so cuz I was snoring kinda loud. So I might as well have walked out/not been there. Shit was boring.
But I don’t go to the theater very often, when I do, its usually a film I’m dying to see.
My bro desperately wanted us to leave during that film with the redneck cannibals who were stalking those young city kids who got broke down/trapped on that old country road…. Wrong Turn maybe?? Had that Dushku chick? Anyway, I talked him into staying… I thought that movie RULED!!
how about The Wicker Man re-make with nick cage F-ing horrible.
i walked out of The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover in the first scene, and my boyfriend was not happy aboot it.
but i thought The Ring was ok, and i enjoyed The Golden Compass.
there are lots of movies i can’t get all the way through, including Crash, V for Vendetta, Tetsuo, Hard Candy, Primer, Ginger Snaps, Johnny Mnemonic (written by Gibson himself), Lemony Snicket, Beowulf, The Holy Mountain…
I wish I had walked out on “The Fiendish Plot of Dr. Fu Mancu” and “Ruthless People.”
I perfer DVDs because if it stinks, I can just shut it off. I shut off “Starship Troopers” part II. I shut off “Seconds” starring Rock Hudson, but that was because I just could not handle it. I actually would like to watch “Seconds,” but it was the most bizaar movie I have ever seen.
Then there was this Japanese movie with subtitles. It was lying around the house, so I put it in the VCR and started watching it with two young children. I shut it off when sexual activity started occuring up in a tree! “Never mind what they were doing in that tree little girl!” It is probably on YouTube now.
The Mudge Boy.
seeing theater is an incresingly pricey endeavor so I always stay until the lights come up as to complete the “experience” BUT…one exception in all my years of film-going…
NIGHT AT THE ROXBURY! I gave it about 50 mins. :D
crash – because it was really bad
million dollar baby – because morgan freeman’s character beat up a black guy (i realize he was being a bully) to defend some stupid redneck who called him a nigger at the begining of the movie. classic morgan freeman shit.
hustle & flow – because it wasnt a good movie. predictable. and i still to this day dont get why everyone was so blindly in love with that movie. i eventually got around to watching the whole movie on dvd
16 blocks
godzilla – the one with matthew broderick
that movie where molly shannon’s dog dies and she becomes this crazy animal lover
300
dreamcatcher
*i was THIS close to walking out of death proof. a bunch of stupid women talking about NOTHING.
