I saw it opening night and there was a woman behind me that only came to see it because her husband loved the show. She said it certainly wasn't Disney.

I couldn't make it through any of the following rentals. They just didn't interest me enough.
Solaris
Mostly Martha
Barb Wire
Camp
Ocean's Twelve
Solaris was so boring, the Clooney nudity was appreciated though. I kept waiting for something to happen in Mostly Martha, but nothing did. So about an hour in I quit watching. Yes, I know that everyone said that Barb Wire sucked, but I thought it might be "so bad it's good fun". It wasn't. I didn't like any of the musical numbers in Camp & I didn't think the characters were that interesting, so I quit about 40 minutes in. My sister & I bought some bootleg dvds off the street when she was visiting me a few months ago. One of them was Ocean's Twelve. We kept watching it for like an hour, but it was so uninteresting we just went to sleep. Well she fell asleep while it was on. So I turned it off. I can't really think of anything else right now. Usually I finish most movies even if I don't like them, because I did pay to rent them. But these were the exceptions.

The Fog
Bought the $10 MGM disc, tried to finish it twice, each viewing several months apart. Just couldn't do it. I own a few John Carpenter movies, but truthfully, I don't think he's a great director. I love horror / sci-fi / B-movies, but his have never really been among my favorites. However, while I can still be entertained by Vampires, Escape From New York or The Thing, this movie was just painful.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there have been movies I've watched 20-30 minutes of on HBO or Comedy Central or something and haven't finished...but it's always because I've got something else to get around to (or because I've already seen/own the film and I get distracted by another show during commercials).

Van Helsing. Got about an hour in and was so bored I found myself reading a magazine. Just turned it off and haven't felt the need to continue.

I have never bought something and never finished it. I have walked out on a movie once. It was the 90's Romeo & Juliet. I walked out after about a half hour, it was so terrible (it probably doesn't help that I don't like Shakespeare).

"Solaris" with George Clooney. I found it to be incredibly boring, and turned it off after about forty-five minutes.
Oddly enough I love the Tarkovsky version.
