Author Topic: Movie's you've walked out of... Aldo Baez Master Film Handler Posts: 266 From: USA Registered: Mar 2001 posted 11-27-2003 01:42 PM                    I don't walk out on movies either. I only go to watch what I want to watch which is hardly ever. I walked out once ever on David Cronenburgs (sp?) Spider and I was only in there because All the Real Girls was cancelled that day and I had traveled far.  |  IP: Logged John Lasher Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Newark, DE Registered: Aug 2001 posted 11-27-2003 02:40 PM                        "Gosford Park" -- fell asleep AND walked out. "LOTR:TFOTR" -- guess it doesn't really count as a walkout, but I was so bored that midway through the film I walked out of the theater, used the restroom, bought a bag of Reeses Pieces and a soda, and after consuming the former, re-entered the theater.  |  IP: Logged Zac Lister Film Handler Posts: 4 From: Sacramento, Ca.

I suppose I shouldn't try to watch anything with Vinny as the "big star" of the movie. Yep that's what I'm gonna do, boycott Vinny.  |  IP: Logged Carl Martin Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1424 From: Oakland, CA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-27-2003 11:08 PM                        this doesn't exactly fit the bill, but.... i went to see 8 women after undergoing a medical test that left me with a high level of toxins in my system. i had been told to go straight home, but disregarded that advice. as the film wore on my bladder filled up, and i got more and more desperate. i was dripping with sweat. eventually i felt like i had bolts of electricity shooting out of my extremities. as soon as it was revealed whodunnit, i bolted for the bathroom. i waited out the remaining minutes in the lobby, asking the staff about why reel 4 was so trashed and so forth (not their fault, apparently). i later caught the very end at another theater. carl  |  IP: Logged Dennis M Dow Jr Expert Film Handler Posts: 141 From: Bloomfield NJ USA Registered: Oct 2003 posted 11-28-2003 05:38 PM                       Walked out of Jason X MVP Movies I wanted to but couldn't(opening techs or road shows) Ishtar Miracle on 34th St (remake) Babies Day out Battlefield Earth Wolf I'm sure there are more that I can't think of now but will post when I remember  |  IP: Logged Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 12-02-2003 06:05 PM                     I wanted to walk out of Little Nicky but didn't have the gumption to do so. I did fall asleep in The Age of Innocence.  |  IP: Logged Chris Trainor Expert Film Handler Posts: 161 From: Greenville, RI, USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-04-2003 04:12 AM                        I walked out of the Scarlet Letter... only flick I ever have too... stayed in the theater for over an hour... just couldn't take it anymore... even with Demi Moore. --Chris  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 12-04-2003 09:02 PM                     The only one that I can SO close to walking out was the original cut release version of "Heaven's Gate". Not even in 70MM 6-Track Dolby Stereo and one of my favorite theatres to see movie helped. But I stayed to the bitter end. Later I saw the longer version it was Ok. The original cut version was such a waste of 70MM Stock.  |  IP: Logged Jennifer Pan THE JEN!

(If i had to listen to Demi Moore cry for thirty minutes more I swear I would have run out screaming my head off!!!)

I thought I was just in a bad mood the first time, after hearing all the glowing comments. Tried it the second time, and nope. 45 minutes and was outta there.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-14-2004 07:04 PM                  LOTR!?!?! No way! That was cool! My walkout was that highy overrated POS about the ship that sank...Ummmm what was it called? Oh yes: "Titanic". Followed by "Lawnmower Man" and "2001". YUK! And double YUK! >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Matt Hale Expert Film Handler Posts: 123 From: Vancouver, Canada Registered: Dec 2002 posted 01-14-2004 07:21 PM                        I try very hard not to walk out of movies, if only as a professional courtesy to those who have worked on them. Even if its a giant pile of somebody put in long hours on it. However there are two that I really, really wanted to leave. The first was The Guru and the other was Freddy Got Fingered. In fact Freddy was so bad that I went and stood by the door so I could leave the very instant it ended. I would have broken my rule if I did not know a couple of the crew members personally. I will admit to falling asleep during Winged Migration but that was not entirely the fault of the movie...  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Producer recut and shot more film and it became "Willie's Revenge" made a few bucks with the change. More recent, "Blair Witch" which made me barf and enduring five press screenings of "Titanic"  |  IP: Logged
