What was the film you walked out of?

Postby Grollope » 21 Feb 2007, 21:44

For me it goes way back - 'Deady Weapons' featuring 'Chesty Morgan' following an alcohol-fuelled lunchtime.

What was yours and the reason why?

Blame it on Rio - hard to believe how bad the work Michael Caine was involved in back then. A disgrace!

Pink Floyd The Wall - Roger Water's psychotic misogyny was too much to bear. Disgusting, really.

I walked out of Volver, last year.

I almost walked out of History of Violence. I was just gathering my coat when the shit film mercifully ended.

a friend and i were forcibly walked out of a theater once. the movie... robin hood: prince of thieves, starring that historically-british tour-de-force, kevin costner.

apparently, we were laughing so hard throughout that we annoyed other patrons.

I don't think I've ever walked out of a film.

I did fall asleep during The Usual Suspects though. And that was at 4pm.

I'm usually good at picking what I will like and even if I don't love it will stay to the end so it's been awhile but A League Of Their Own and Mallrats I walked out of.

Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

I actually walked out on this:

It's supposed to be a thrill ride, but I found it unbelievably mean-spirited, revolting, racially insensitive and stereotypical, and ultimately monotonous in how ridiculously over the top it went.

The opening scene was great, but it went rapidly downhill. It's been over 20 years- I wish I could forget all about it, but the piles of insects and monkey-brain eating seem to be indelibly embedded in my brain.

I've never liked gore movies and I make a point of avoiding them at all cost but the missus wanted to see this femme-horror and said "it's not a gory movie, it'll be ok". :roll: Halfway through I stopped "watching it" and kept my eyes from the screen. Gave up 20 minutes from the end. Nooooooooooo! :shock:

As I'd feared, a load of old wardrobes. Avoid it. I watched about half an hour then walked out, into the kitchen to grab a beer. Then switched to North By North West, after all the good talk about it on here recently.

When I was a kid, I must have walked out of loads of films. Not because they were rubbish though. Back then you would get two main pictures played back to back all day at the local fleapit (in this case the Rex or the Crescent, in Leeds). My parents would drag me along, and rather than wait for the next start time, we'd just go into the cinema at whatever point the film was at. It really was the done thing in those days. So you'd watch what remained of the film, watch the next one, and then start watching the film again that you'd walked in on.

On more than one occasion, we'd get to the point where we came in first time round, my Dad would say 'this is where we came in' and we'd leave. As said, it was what a lot of people did. I distinctly remember doing it to The Longships.

We once had a showing of Pink Flamingos (at my instigation, I was on the film society) at our Uni Film Club. People were walking out all the way through, and after a while, would get a round of applause as they walked out. I'm proud to say I was one of the six - of about eighty at the start - who stuck it all the way to the dog turd eating bit.

I walked out of Caligula with Malcolm McDowell. The only one.

I've snuck in to movies, but hardly ever out of 'em.

Ahh, you don't sneak OUT of movies though. The whole point is to make sure everyone sees you leave. Maybe throw in an incoherant mumble for effect.

I believe I did too. As a you Beatlemaniac I was extremely offended!

Also, Rocky II (these were summer camp excursions).
