Walking out of movies
 

Anybody ever done it? I haven't. It's never even occurred to me before. I wanted to walk out of "The Grudge" but couldn't because I had my sister and cousin with me.

And anyway, I have a sick fascination with bad movies because it's so interesting to see what went wrong. I feel like I get my money's worth in knowledge and experience anyway. I've seen that "Jonah Hex" has gotten really evil reviews and it makes me want to see it, just to see how bad the damage really is.

Usually films that have bad reviews are ones I liked. That's the case with Jonah Hex. Yeah it bombed in the box office (opening in 8th! Yeowch!) but I liked it. Mostly cuz Im into the civil war era. It would have probably done alot better if it hadn't opened oposite Toy Story 3.

I wanted to walk out on Ghost Rider, but Voltron was the one who drove me, so I couldn't.

I walked out of Batman Begins only because there were some dumb teens yelling in the back. I figured might as well get my money back and see it another time when I can actually enjoy it. The manager gave me my money back and said next time it was on us. Cool guy.

I wanted to walk out of underworld movie, but i stuck 'til the end.

I choose carefully what movie to see since the ticket is helluva expensive

I've fallen asleep during a bad movie.....

I lost my drink when some guy could't get off the phone while movie was on.

it just slipped out of my hands and wacked his head

I've never done such a thing on the premise that I'll always be curious as to what I missed. That will drive me to spend more money on seeing it again even though I'm only vaguely interested. Just because a movie doesn't start out well doesn't always mean that it won't redeem itself by the end. Plus, I paid good money to see it, so I just choose my battles wisely.

When I thought about walking out of "The Grudge" I had just had a ruptured appendix and had very nearly died slowly in real life so I wasn't inclined to watch other people snuff it and just looked away through the whole movie. Also I was hopped up on Vicoden and that didn't really help either.

I guess I always figured that no movie is so bad that it's worth walking out on. Except "Alone in the Dark." If I'd seen that in the theater I may have walked out.

I never walked out, but I remember seeing people walk out.

It was during Jackass: Number Two, the skit with Steve-O, Chris Pontius and the horse... :|

I've watched a lot of people walk out of Saw movies. Watched three couples walk out of Kick-Ass when the girlfriend realized she had been misled by the dude about the context of the movie (basically, when they start pouring the gasoline). Never walked out myself.

Dude, any movie with Nicholas Cage is 'out of context'. :P

saw some parents walking out with their 6-10 old children on passion of the Christ under the torture scene

My brother wanted to walk out of Transformers 2 and even though I agreed that it was the worst film I had ever seen on the big screen, I thought I should endure it.

I think I fell asleep for 15 minutes, woke up and realised that I didn't miss a thing as the robots/explosions sequence at the pyramids was still going on.

The only time I left a cinema was during "A Walk to Remember", mainly because it induced one of the worst migraines I've ever experienced.

My fu*king cousin made me see "Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector" with him... I wanted to walk out so bad but I was fourteen so I couldn't have driven home.

Also wanted to leave Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (picked by a friend). But after seeing the most ridiculous sex scene in cinema history I just had to stick around.

Two times for me, once was Transporter 3 and the other was Bad Moon (or something of the sort).

I've actually never walked out of a movie, then again I try to go to ones that don't look obviously bad and will make me want to. Although I went to the third Pirates Of The Caribbean movie with my girlfriend and her sister, their choice and it was like torture, it was horrible, but I fell asleep, so I guess that's kind of an insult to it.

Also looking back, I could have walked out on the Death Proof part of Grindhouse.

New Moon? I'm so glad I didn't pay money to see that movie, nor the first one

and I still feel cheated

Only once for me. It was called 28 days. NOT 28 DAYS LATER. 28 days is the one with Sandra Bullock about alcohol rehab. Wow, so so so bad. I watched the first 40 mins or so and decided I had had enough.

napoleon dynamite was the movie I wanted to walk out of so bad. I think I must have purposely gone to the bathroom about three times because it was such torture to sit through. My friend of the time dragged me to see it against my will even though I thought it was stupid even from the trailer.

edit: my younger sister told me just how stupid this line was.

:lol: That reminds me of like every time I tell someone about Danny Boyle's "Sunshine"... they think I'm talking about "Little Miss Sunshine".

I haven't done it in a while. Only to go to the bathroom and come back, and I haven't even done that for movies I'm actually interested. I walked out of Bruno. Saw Orphan instead.

Can't say i've ever walked out of a movie before. Fell asleep during (The Grudge remake - I was drunk; and King Kong (Peter Jackson one) - my partner at the time loved it so much we went twice - second time I dozed off, awakening just in time for them to arrive at the island).

I do recall going to see Inglorious Basterds, and clocking a rather old looking couple arriving not long after us. I thought to myself hmm, pretty cool seeing folks like that in for a film like this. Anyhoo, they walked out after the baseball bat Bear Jew scene.

I've never walked out of a movie. I choose my movies carefully. But I have had some annoying movie goers. Like when I went to see the Haunting in Connecticut, there was an annoying ass guy yelling. He kept saying F*ck this movie F*ck this movie" and "Hell naw if that was me I wouldn't even go in there." I felt like knocking him out and waking him up when the movie finishes.

Maybe I should start keeping chloroform in my purse.

Fell asleep after 15 minutes when watching Avatar (second viewing). I couldn't endure it and I pretty much know what's going to happen, so I walked out. It was so good the first time round though.

I have fallen asleep in movies, but I only walk out if it is really vulgar, disgusting, or to inappropriate for my taste. I always stay for bad movies though, I kinda like there bad qualities, best to have friends around while watching them though so you can make fun of it and laugh together.

i saw toy story on friday and the show was sold out. the movie started and 5 minutes into it group of like 8 people walked in. then they walked out becuz they couldnt sit next to each other.

Ah, I did want to walk out of 27 Dresses but I was with about 6 other girls who were really into it. At the end they asked how I liked it and I said something like it was exactly how I thought it would be.

I forgot about Disaster Movie. That name doesn't do it justice enough. I was watching with a friend who enjoyed it so much (wtf?) I was dying to go walk out of the cinema.

When I went to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall, there was an elderly couple sitting in front. When Segel says he's going to **** as many women as he can, they walked out.

The elderly need to learn that movies are rated R for a reason. When I went to see Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back (Shut-up! I'm already embarassed enough admitting it), I actually had to talk some clueless elderly out of it as they had never even heard of Jay & Silent Bob.

I've never walked out of a movie, mainly because I'm too cheap and if I paid for it, I'm gonna damn well watch it. No matter how bad it sucks.

I do remember people walking out of Blair Witch Project, though.

I think you can get a refund if you walk out of a movie.

Got begged to go to the movies by my Mom a lot. She drug me to The Grudge, SAW 3, Dumb and Dumberer, and 2 Fast 2 Furious. All were huge wastes of time and all lacked the option to leave whenever I wanted.

I fell asleep during Terminator 3 for about a half hour. I never re-watched it and never will.

One movie I had the option to walk out on and probably should have but didn't was Oliver Stone's Alexander. That movie was crap on so many levels. My Dad was with me and we both watched at the theater emptied. By the time it was over there was only 2 other people in there.

We also almost walked out on the Death Proof segment of Grindhouse. It was like watching a bad chick flick with some violent scenes spread out between a half hour of long drawn out babbling. The missing reel joke was way funnier in Planet Terror too.

Lot better than I was. I got so fed up with some bitch ass teen texting, I grabbed the phone and flung with full force towards the wall. Phone broke into a million pieces. We were both escorted out. This was the movie The Crazies. The theater made amends with me and gave me a ticket to see the movie again. The teen was removed indefinitely.

Other than that, never walked out of a movie. I have had an occasion where I didn't finish a movie on DVD, but never in theater. It's probably why I choose action flicks or thrillers, keeps my interest up even if it is a crappy film.

I went to see The Black Dhalia, and there was an elderly couple that walked out during the porno video scene. Granted, I kind of see their disgust. Here was a movie set in a vintage time, and they throw in graphic porno that really brought the movie's "classy look" down to a trashy look. I guess not every movie is going to be set up like Public Enemies.
