Did I mention how the seniors couldn't manage a half hour of Closer?

EDIT: Guess I did, on page one. Wow, old thread.

Can't say I've ever walked out of a movie. I usually know exactly what I'm walking in to see when I go to the movies. The only exception is going to the movies on a whim with friends and seeing whichever movie is starting next, but even then I have never walked out.


That being said, I did want to walk out on Desperado when I saw it with my Mom, I couldn't stand that movie!

And if I can sit through 1999's The Haunting, I think I can sit through pretty much anything!

I walked out of Jackie Chan's Twin Dragons. It's bad enough Miramax routinely cut 10-30 mins from his film and redubbed them on a regular basis, but this movie was just awful and unfunny.

Whoa crazy to see this thread revisited 4 years later. I have come close to walking out of a lot but a couple years ago I finally walked on my first one "the brothers grim" most recently walked out on "Notes on a Scandal" it was getting to my psychologically

I didn't read through all nine pages of this thread, so I don't know if this was mentioned, but my buddy and I almost both walked out of Natural Born Killers. I have nothing against Stone or any of the actors, or even the violence, but Christ that movie was just an over-the-top POS.

I've never actually walked out of a movie, but that's probably the closest it came. If I expect a film to possibly be complete crap, I'll usually wait to see it on cable instead of putting down $10 to see it in a theater, thus lowering my walkout ratio to zero-- so far.

edit: I have stopped a few DVDs and never put them back in, but that's probably for a different thread. :)

This, I hope will blow some minds.

I went and watched There Will Be Blood with a friend of mine, who ironically enough is the biggest radiohead fan I know. So idk if it's the fact that glendale az has 5 theaters on the 101 loop (consistently over 8 miles) or the fact that the movie had a bad turn out opening night (to this I really don't know).

But we're sitting in the theater, opening night, with 7 other people and we're all LOAO that this must be thought of as being the worst movie off all time, and soon enough, after it starts the 7 dwindles to 4, and then to us.

Don't get me wrong I'm not about to dog the movie, I kind of liked it really. Has a very kubrick-esque quality to it. The only reason we stayed was apparently so that at the end I could hear about this friend of mine's wanting to go out and get the soundtrack....lol.

And for the record, I've only ever walked out of the matrix sequels and alpha dog. Don't get me started.

I can't think of one movie I've walked out on. Maybe that's because I rarely go see movies so when I finally go out to see one, it is a movie I KNOW I want to watch.

I have, however, stopped a few DVDs before they reached their end. The last one I just could not finish was Southland Tales. 60 excruciating minutes into the movie, I thought there must only be thirty minutes left to this, then I turned over the DVD case and saw no, actually there was a full HOUR and TWENTY MINUTES left to this crap fest. There was no way I could carry on. The movie already took an hour of my life I will not get back.

i have my doubts you've ever seen a kubrick film. LOLZ!!@!@&!!@(*&@

Vantage Point. I saw about 7 people glaring at the screen before walking out.

I saw quite a few people walk out of "The Thin Red Line." They were probably expecting a star-studded action-packed extravaganza, but instead got a philosophical and very humanistic look at war -- which is why I liked it.

Funny Games.

It started with about 40 people in the theater. About 15 people got up and left at various points in the film. One young guy yelled out "Producers suck!" as he left. Yup. Real clever guy he was.

So you walked out of Reloaded.. and didn't finish it, not knowing how it ended. You didn't like. I can understand that.

But then why on earth would you pay money to see Revolutions, if you don't know how Reloaded left off and if you didn't like it? I don't understand the logic.

Ha! Ya, I've been here a week and I can already tell most of you sleep next to your kubrick collections at night so I shouldn't have mentioned. The still shots of characters that zoom in under that haunting 'music' reminded me of 2001, that was pretty much it.

-I got tickets to revolutions for free....well...I take that back. Someone payed to get me in after I complained like a baby all the way there. After I left I felt bad, so I bought the guy some in n' out burger later.

The one and only movie I ever walked out on was Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Kevin Smith is woefully overrated. Worst. Director. Ever.

As Michael Haneke put it:
"It’s a film you come to if you need to see it. If you don’t need this movie, you will walk out before it’s over."

I know a lot of these Oscar, Academy, Golden Globe winning and nominated films don't do well at the theatres, but, and it wasn't a horrible film by any means, "There Will Be Blood" was a major disappointment. Up until where Plainview abandoned his son, H.W. Plainview, on the train, it was interesting, but it lost a lot of steam and became pretty boring until the end.

I thought the ending was very Kubrick-esque, "A Clockwork Orange" type ending for TWBB. People who didn't think the ending was a little Kubrick-esque hasn't seen a Kubrick film before.

I haven't gone to the theatres in years, and I buy all the movies I want to see on Blu-ray or DVD, and It took me two days to get through "Cloverfield". The only person who was likable and had some charisma was T.J. Miller's character, Hudson "Hud" Platt. I liked the monster, however, and I really enjoyed the helicopter scene closer to the end. I'm a huge J.J. Abrams fan, and although this isn't "Lost", it was good theatrical showing for him.

Awww, don't be a hater. I enjoy KS's work, but even I thought JaSBSB ghad at best about 15 minutes worth of entertainment. Thing just ground to a hault once the girls showed up.

Ya I lost interest at the exact same point too. All that building up, it just seemed to ride out the same bland feeling the rest of the movie.

OH! LOL, I get it, you're using kubrick-esque as a cliche. I think I just got some double entendre pwnage.

Cloverfield is now on the list, thanks

I saw about 4 people walk out of Freddy Got Fingered in an already almost empty theater. Definitely one movie that probably deserved walking out on, but I powered through.

I just remembered a few classic walk out moments from other people.

I've had the pleasure of seeing a number of Takashi Miike films, uncut theatrically.

My first was the infamous 'Ichi the Killer;' a woman vomitted in her popcorn at the tongue scene, ran out of the theater and her party was close on her heels. A couple of people had walked out during the 'hooks' scene without incident already. The final incident occured during the nipple slicing scene: one woman started to cry and was led out by her date; another quickly rushed past and looked like she might be visibly shaking.

During 'Dead or Alive' eight people or so filed out during the 'poo pool' scene, the highlight of which, a girl standing up, slapping her date and calling him a pervert for taking her to such a film. That got a huge laugh from the crowd that was left.

Name of theater, please.

I really wanted to. Movie was an absolute piece of shit. One of the worst movies I've ever seen, and I've seen some shitty movies. I just stayed with my friends, and we made fun of the movie out loud. My friends never walk out of movies, so I've endured my share of garbage.

I recall quite a few walk-outs during Starship Troopers -- mostly parents with children because they did not anticipate the level of violence/gore.

Most: Salo -- Yes, I'm one of the few folks who actually saw this at a screening. It started with a full auditorium -- there were only three of us left (and perhaps the projectionist) by the time it ended.

Funniest walkout was at a sneak of Red Dawn -- the guy behind me started laughing and within 15 minutes was unable to contain himself. He apologized, still laughing, and left the theater.

The only movie I've walked out of was The Crow 2. I went into Tin Cup instead. Maybe the bad taste Crow 2 left in my mouth biased me, but I enjoyed it.

The only other movie I've considered walking out of was Juno. Once it ended, I wish I had.
