OT: speaking of movies, do you ever Walk Out?

[eddief]

I went to see Atonement today with a good friend. I sat through about the first twenty minutes and found it to be slow, visually iritating, and BORING. We had driven separate cars to the theater so I asked her if she'd mind if I made my exit. I think she understood. But I got to thinking there have been a number of times when I have gone to the movies alone and said to myself -- this stinks -- and then walked out. I asked my neigbor and my exgirlfriend if they ever do/have ever done this, and both thought I was nuts.

We walked out of that Wittgenstein movie in the 1990's. It was not good. My mom and a friend of hers who is a nun walked out of No Country Old Men - the person at the box office told them it was a murder mystery but they were expecting something more Hitchcock.

The movie Borat was pretty painful to watch through to the end. We stayed since we had committed $18.00 to that nonsense already!

I love Jewish funnymen. Seriously that movie was funny!

I missed the Wittgenstein movie. A pic about a deeply neurotic Austrian, living in denial, abroad, and obsessed with developing a theory of meaning, and then deciding it was krap, and then developing sort of another one ... and it wasn't good? Did they screw the chase seen?

Haven't walked out but have fallen asleep twice - does that count?

[capybaras]

A friend was hypnotized by Zentropa and had to see it a second time because she remembered nothing. Then she fell asleep

fortunately that was only from my living room to my kitchen without the $9 ticket booth in between.

I walked out of Miss Saigon in London...
The seats were horrible - couldn't see over the people in front of us, and without a view it wasn't worth the agony as the seats themselves were left over from the inquisition and now are banned by the Geneva Convention.

Not a movie but doesn't a play count?

saw it in high school, skipped out early because it sucked. My date went with me...we made out in the parking lot instead...classy.

I, too, walked out on Borat. Would have walked out on Jack@ss too, but saw most of it on DVD at home.

It's not that the content is offensive to me, it's just really stupid and my stupid tolerance wears out in about 45 minutes or less.

Yes, precisely!
