Walking out of movies

Again. Anger issues much?

that's awesome, it's annoying when people can't turn off their phones in the cinema.

*reads posts* Cinema's need a no phone policy. Seriously.. an enforced one.

Can't say I've ever walked out of a cinema, though I think I've been tempted a time or two to turn around and whack someone.

Cinemas in Norway have a no phone policy, it's not strict but they have a short movie about it and signs in to the film room. Telling people to turn off the cellphones and don't annoy other viewers

Guess I have more restraint than you guys. The one time this bald (old?) dude kept turning on his smart phone with its brights on, I politely asked him if he could at least dim it because it was distracting. He got all stuttery like I just threatened him, and shut it off. ^_^ That was funny. And a long time ago, I went to see a movie during school/work hours, so there were only a handful of people in the theater. This tubby, black woman up at the top kept cackling. As annoying as that was, I decided to ignore it because some people can't help it if their laughter is grating. When she started yelling at the screen though, I started mimicking her laughs. I only had to do it twice to get her to shut up. There just weren't enough people to help reenact that scene from Scary Movie. I'm not taking the blame all by myself.

So do theaters here but Americans all have ADD and can't help but fiddle with their phones during movies. They also forget to turn it on silent and I've seen some people actually leave the theater to have a conversation in the middle of the movie. Being considerate isn't a trait most of my fellow countrymen seem to have. Of course most theaters now are populated with 15 year olds who know as much about how to act in public as a monkey.

Then of course there's the completely thick people who bring babies into the theater. Bringing them to a kid's movie I can maybe see but bringing them to "War Explosion 10" is a very dumb idea. The poor babies ears drums are going to get blown out and of course they're going to cry. If you can't find a babysitter then don't go to the movies. There should be a strict no baby policy. That would be easier to enforce then the phone one.

Uh....why?



Anyway, I wanted to walk out of the Spirit...But it was so tragically funny.

I wanted to walk out of Sin City, too.

When I saw "The Two Towers" there was this guy talking loudly and laughing on his phone and a guy nearby yelled at him to cut it out and turn it off because the movie had started. At that point we were hearing the Balrog and Gandalf's voice echoing mysteriously and we were zooming around Caradhras. He yelled back at the guy saying that the movie hadn't started yet and kept on talking. I thought they were going to come to blows.

Because apparently to some people there is this invisible line between opening credits and scene that separates where the movie REALLY begins. To me, as soon as the house lights go down and the production logos come up, then the movie has started and you'd better shut up.

All this hate for death proof. It's amazingly hilarious. the whole Kurt Russel "OH MY GOD WHY!!!" with the alcohol scene was awesome.
As for Jay and Silent Bob strike back, it was pretty terrible.

Madagascar. Boring as hell.

Are you people crazy? What the **** did you all expect it to be?

A full movie, not a quarter of one with the slack taken up by mostly uninspired fan-service...

That's funny I've never met a single person who didn't think Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back was hilarious. People used to come over to my house to watch it sometimes cause I was the only one of us who had it on DVD. It's pretty retarded but it has some laughs in it. Haven't seen it in awhile though.

That movie was the reason I started watching Kevin Smith films.

Show some respect!

Oh man I would have paid good money to watch that actually go down. I can not stand how the brainless drone youth of today are so addicted to their cell phones. I have never had to talk to someone so badly that I couldn't even wait for a movie to end first.

I've never walked out of a movie before (unless its to go to the bathroom). I swear that movie theaters put something in their soft drinks to make people have to piss like racehorses so that we will have to go back to see the movie again to see what all we missed the last time. That's why I try not to buy drinks anymore.

Off-topic but when I went to see TMNT in theaters, I was the only person in the entire theater. It was awesome. I took off my coat and laid it down in the aisle and watched the entire movie laying down on it. Quite comfy.

There are 3 movies that I ever remember being bored to tears with. The Rocketeer, The Avengers and Lost In Space. I was with my dad for all three of them and the movies couldn't end soon enough for me.

I walked out of a movie only once: I am legend. The movie was ok, but the sound was so incredibly loud. I have a hearing problem and even then it was too loud for me :p. My girlfriend has really sensitive hearing and she wanted to leave so I left with her.

[Luzmagica]

I´ve never walked out of a movie!!! If its boring or as bad as hell at least I can said "Its was too hoorrible for me IMO!"......(for example "Were wilds things..." I saw this movie to see the visual effects they are going to use at TMNT...and was VERY boring for me!!!)
There is one movie I almost break the rule, And my parents too (we almost leave the movie all togheter...but we resist until the end bravely!!!), Alatriste movie, THE WORST adaptation movie-from a book in history .....Actually they sum up 8 books in a movie....NOT recommended if you enjoy the books a minimun!!

I saw Austin Powers 2. Then I was going to see it again with my friend. When we got there, we were the only two people at the showing. She thought it was creepy nobody else was there, so she insisted we leave.

Another friend of mine told me that his sister walked out of 'Kill Bill Vol. 1' during the blood-filled anime scene.

[Mutated Turtle]

I seriously wanted to walk out of TMNT 07. I got bored of it after the TMNT logo showed up. That movie is the definition of a sh*tty movie. It felt so repetitive and boring. I think I even slept through it. Plus, the character design looked like SH*T.

[ooglafina]

Yeah, I was pretty unhappy that the humans all looked like Bratz dolls. I think the big problem was that all the energy went to the animation and none to the story, dialogue, etc... And I think Munroe just has a boring sense of humor. His jokes give me yawns.
