I let a buddy drag me to that, and wish I’d walked out

seemed like a can't miss blend of sci-fi plot about time shifting. Tom Cruise doesn't make bad movies, right!? Yes he does... YES he does.

This one's surprising. I thought this was a fantastic movie, and it's pretty well reviewed also.

walked out of one movie:

Battlefield Earth

Wife wanted to see it because of Travolta and she was done after 15 minutes.

just kiddin....

One of robin williams’ few stinkers

I wish I walked out of others like Avatar

We lasted 30 minutes and it was actually painful.

I believe these were right around the same time period as well...

Earth Girls are Easy
Sex, Lies and Videotape

Earth Girls are Easy was just awful, and I couldnt keep myself awake during Sex Lines and Videotape.

The Russian Roulette scenes were just too intense for me ... I still can’t watch the movie without skipping some parts... though I once read some of this was pure Hollywood.

I didnt have a problem with the Russian Roulette scene. What I did have a problem with was that LONG LONG LONG wedding scene! I seem to remember that that thing went on forever! Ive been to shorter actual weddings. I havent watched that movie in years, but if I ever see it again, pretty clear where ill be hitting the fast forward button.

You had your local paper's review section, a handful of national critics, and that was it. No way to readily access those reviews either. That's how I ended up asking my parents to take me to Howard the Duck many moons ago - it looked funny in the commercials and we had little to tell us otherwise. We didn't walk out of that one, but a bunch of people did.

I had a roommate back in my military days whose favorite movies were Howard the Duck and Spaceballs. Seriously.....and Im talking all time here....no Godfather, Jaws, ANYTHING ELSE...we used to ride him about that fact all the time but he stuck to his guns, just loved both of them.

in the first place, but it sucked.

I think we left 20 minutes in.

I even tried once more when it was released on video, couldn't get through it again.

Yeah, well, that's just, like, your opinion man.

Rocky Horror? LOL, repressed sexual issues anyone?

Ha. What does this even mean? Never thought of seeing that movie, all I know is it is a musical and the songs I do know that come from that movie are annoying as hell.

Anyone who didn't like it cannot get a boner or something?

...

I think I made it 15 minutes when my date and I agreed to salvage the night. It's the only movie I ever walked out on.

I always enjoy Chariots of Fire...good actual story

The Big Lebowski is actually a brilliant reimagining of Raymond Chandler's seminal novel The Big Sleep.

If you did not enjoy it, then I would suggest checking out Turner Classic Movies. I think they have an Errol Flynn marathon coming up soon. Did you know he was actually an expert fencer in real life?

My girlfriend at the time and I had free movie Tuesday tickets and went to see Men in Black 3 because there was nothing good out.

We walked out about 15 minutes into the movie when Will Smith looks at an Alien and says something like "You look like you from the planet damn."

I especially liked the part where a guy with no arms carried a guy with no legs on his back. And all of the rotting flesh.

Disco Duck, Barbarella, Jumanji and Braveheart

That's, ah, different

I'm almost intrigued to know more about the taste of someone who's sensibilities were offended to the point of walking out of Crouching Tiger, Big Lebowski, Lost in Translation, or Pulp Fiction. That's genuinely fascinating.

I fell asleep in the middle of Pulp Fiction.

You're a hundred, aren't you.

the 1984 version.

Watched it last night. The actor looks a lot like Elton circa 1973-ish. But the his voice is awful. Cringe-worthy.

id rather stick a qtip eye.

First off, who didn't go into Rocky Horror without having some idea of what it was?

Why would someone literally walk out? Flick is a pisser, and if you've got a good, active crowd, a unique and fun experience.

really?

and his answer surprised me.

Five Easy Pieces.

We're used to antiheroes like Bobby Dupea today, but in 1970 I imagine he was pretty shocking and upsetting to older audiences.

there was nothing left to see.

With Braveheart, when I saw it originally in the movies, I did see a few people leave when they started torturing him to death near the end. The entire tone of the movie changed at that point. Instead of draw and quarter, it should have been draw and Bitcoin.

proof that there were some measures that a young adult aged jcn wouldn't undergo to get into a woman's pants. Made it about halfway.

But for "SWAT", I kept getting interrupted by a phone call, and once the plot was figured out (it was pretty easy to figure out), I stalled before the very ending to answer it.

Walked out of District 8 for an emergency, then went to a later showing to see the end. I probably shouldn't have gone back.

Twice.

Took a date to Starship Troopers. What a mistake that was. I had loved the book, which is why we went, but the movie was complete crap. A waste of time.

The other was taking my dad to see League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Again garbage that push the suspension of disbelief too far. Another completely awful movie.

I'm sorry. Tearing Mel Gibson in two is high comedy.

I love that scene. FREEEEEEYYYYDUUUUUUMMMMMM!!!!

Same era, Rob Roy was released. Similar theme, actual good movie.

Really to which one?

Up in the Air was well-done and the acting was great, those are my two favorite actresses but the plot just didn't interest me at all. I left and went into another movie.

Bridesmaids, I do not remember much of the movie at all to be honest. I went with a group and then I think I just left for another movie that was pretty bad but I was just glad I was out of there. If I remember correctly a bunch of women getting ready for a wedding in a train like fashion is not in my wheelhouse. Sorry.

I am also not the biggest fan of Melissa McCarthy. Holy shit, I cannot stand her. The more outlandish she acts the more she sucks.

...to many, including me.

She's good, in fairly limited doses in specific roles.

thought she was very funny in Bridesmaids.

Bridesmaids might've been that movie where McCarthy was the over-the-top character where I said "welp, I'm out of here!"
