I’ll second an earlier poster’s opinion about Batman and Robin. Just awful. My friend and I went out for a smoke after about a half hour, and never went back in.
I also walked out of The Blair Witch Project. It was quickly apparent that the “story” could not possibly be worth putting myself through those nauseating shaky handi-cam shots.
I don’t think I’ve ever walked out of a movie before it ended, unless you count that time at The Pink Pussycat, when I left, not because the movie was so bad, but because I was basically fin–
Max Dugan walks out on his wife and daughter when she’s a litle girl. Several years ppass, during which time his daughter has become an English teaching single mom in East L. A., who’s like half a paycheck from utter financial ruin.
Max returns from Las Vegas with a huge suitcase full of cash, some rationalizations for having stolen it from the Mob, inoperable cancer, and a desire to live out the last six monhs of his life with his daughter and grandson.
I saw it for free on TV instead of paying for it, but I liked it.
Reign of Fire. Or at least, I would have walked out had we been at a theater. As it was I just fell asleep. This movie SHOULD have been good;it has dragons, lots of things blowing up and some of the hottest men in hollywood. It ended up being just craptastic though.
I wanted to like this movie. I liked the characters and the premise. The problem was that there was about 45 minutes of plot, some of which required some serious suspension of disbelief, stretched out over a very long period. I got up, walked to the snack booth, chatted up the pretty clerk with a friend of mine, got a drink, munched a bit, went back in and missed nothing.
Not Another Teen Movie (during the s**t storm)
Nightmare Before Christmas
My Dinner with Andre (along with another 10 or so people)
Lost in Translation (not walked out, but fell asleep twice)
Chicago (the musical) (fell asleep)
In 1963 Warhol made a movie that lasted for hours. It was called “sleep”. It was hours of someone sleeping. Nobody stayed for the whole thing.
It was better than “Ishtar”.
Wow, no lie? Loved that movie…have it on DVD in fact and watch it from time to time. Great white hunters? Well, they had the guns etc. but Val flinches. And the repetition isn’t nearly as bad as described.
