Aw, crap. ReseRvoir Dogs. I s’pose if I am going to bitch about something, I should at least spell it right. My apologies.
On with the show!

I know this probably isn’t going to be a popular opinion, but what the hell. I made it about a half hour into Blade Runner before I had to turn it off, because nothing interesting was happening. Ugh…don’t get me wrong, the effects were great, but I just really hated the movie.
That’s the only one I can think of offhand, though…

This is strange, but the only movie that I have ever walked out on was the Disney movie, “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”. And, this was at the request of my 5 year old son. He was so bored!
The only movie that I can remember turning off was “The Blair Witch Project.” It just did nothing for me.
Maybe, I do not have good movie tastes, but I loved the South Park movie and Baseketball. I just love mindless humor! 
What matters most is how you see yourself.
Hoop Dreams, paid half price, couldn’t hang.
Assignment: Life.
It was an anti-abortion movie shown to my senior-year high school Government class. The teacher claimed he didn’t know it was anti-abortion, but considering it was being shown to our class by a minister, I don’t believe him.
The only movie that I’ve ever walked out on because it was horrible was Color of Night starring (if you could call it that) Bruce Willis and Jane March. I left after about 40-45 minutes when I realized they were building up to a surprise ending that seemed to me to be completely obvious.
I left in the middle of Pacific Heights as well, but that was because the suspense was killing me. At least it felt that way. I was gripping the arms of my chair, my pulse was racing, and the last thing I wanted to do was see what creepy thing was gonna happen next. So, I left. I think I must have just caught it on a bad day. I plan to rent it sometime.
God is my co-pilot. Blame Him.
I’ve been kicking around the idea of registering, and when I saw this topic it made my mind up for me. No offense to any of the other great topics, but I have something to say here.
I love movies, and I’ll stick it out and watch an entire movie even if its bad… I’ve never fallen asleep during a movie, and I never walk out on them.
That being said, there are two movies I have seen that were so bad I would have walked out on them if I didnt have to wait for the other people I was with.
The Big Hit, and Cruel Intentions are the two worst movies ever made and I feel sorry for the film they were recorded on. Do not see these movies unless you want a really good reason to get drunk and cant come up with one (as impossible as that sounds).

I walked out on ‘Anaconda’ when Jon Voight’s eaten corpse winked at Jennifer Lopez!
Wanted to walk out on ‘Ghost dog: Way of the Samuri’. I was sorry I didn’t.
From Dusk Till Dawn, was just a terrible movie! I left my friends in the auditorium and snuck into a the equally terrible Father Of The Bride 2. It was just bad, not offensive. I left Dusk Till Dawn after they killed the bank teller. My buddys informed me afterward it had something to do with vampires. What a waste of George Clooney. Has he ever made a decent movie? He should go back to E.R. where he belongs, just keep cashing his checks, and stop wasting his audiences brain cells and theater owners screen space. :eek:
I generally will not walk out of a movie even if it bores me because I will just tune it out and start thinking about my own stuff (like how much I am going to enjoy what comes after the movie). But…
the only movie I did walk out was Depardieu’s Columbus because not only was it stupid and badly made but it was so LOUD it was giving me a headache.
Unfortunately I was with a bunch of people I did not know well so I tried to stick it out but finally, not half way into the movie, I got up pretending I was going to the rest rooms and I just waited outside for the movie to finish and my friends to come out. the movie was THAT bad.
A long time ago, I went with a friend to see A Sterile Cuckoo. Lousy, rotten, dog shit of a flic.
That’s the only movie that has aggravated me enough to actually make me angry. I still hold a grudge against Liza Minelli.
I tried to walk out on the Boring Mr. Ripley this morning, but Delta Airlines has a policy of not letting passengers off of the plane in mid-flight. I did ditch the headphones.
Agreed. I felt the exact same way. I just pretended like I had somewhere to go so as not to offend my roommate.
<raising shields> Also, I must admit that I wanted to poke my eyes out in Titanic. It was like a supermodel, pretty to look at, but that’s about it.
Did y’all know there was a Laurel and Hardy movie made in South Africa? Did you know it was made last year? And it was produced by Larry Harmon, better known as Bozo the Clown?
It starred Bronson Pinchot as Stan Laurel’s nephew and some unknown as Oliver Hardy’s nephew. It also featured F. Murray Abraham, who I guess needed the work. Abraham plays an Egyptologist who recently received a mummy that comes to life and threatens to take over the world! Only Laurel and Hardy’s nephews can save the day!
The film was set in Florida; there were a lot of references to Florida in the dialogue and all the cars had Florida plates. But in a harbor sequence, mountains were clearly visible in the background! (The tallest mountain in Florida is Big Thunder Mountain at Walt Disney World! :D)
I am not making this up. They’re showing this… thing on Starz, which has to be the cheapest cable movie channel ever created. Or maybe it’s Encore…?
Oh, and another really BAD flick has to be King Kong Lives! starring Linda Hamilton. They drag Kong’s body from the World Trade Center and replace his heart with an artificial one the size of a Volkswagen. They also find Queen Kong in Borneo! Then the King and Queen have a Prince!
I’d heard this movie was REALLY bad, and that’s why I saw it! I had to see just how bad a big-budget movie could be!
Frankly, I’m surprised Linda Hamiltion’s career survived this disaster.
The Big Lebowski I wanted to walk out, but I promised my flatmate I’d watch it, as he thought it was the best movie he’d seen in ages. Well it isn’t, it’s wall to wall pointless miserable crap.
The English Patient I’ve never seen a prettier, more pointless, irritating waste of time. And I only stayed because my date was someone whose side I didn’t want to leave. (She adored it, it was her third time, and she expected me to cry during the soppy bits - instead I was going ‘what?? what?? what the fuck??’ in my head)
2001: A Space Oddysey Turned it off very early on, because, as is usual in a Kubrick movie, nothing was happening!!! (how do you spell ‘Oddysey’?)
Pulp Fiction I have seen the first fifteen minutes. When they started killing people like Mark Wahlberg and laughing about it, I gave up. That kind of behaviour, extremely typical with that mad bastard Tarantino, repulses me to the depths of my very being, and I can’t bear it.

Aw, man! Cruel Intentions was terrible! A friend of mines has a mad crush on the guy in the movie (Ryan SillyLastName) and made me rent it with him once. I can’t believe how awful it was. The only movie I ever walked out of was Dumb and Dumber (yeah, yeah, what was I expecting?). I really didn’t think it would be that gross. I almost walked out of End of the Affair, which is a bad movie. Pretty as hell movie, prettier than Talented Mr. Ripley, but boring as hell.

I agree, y’all are missing some great flicks.
I don’t recall ever walking out of a theatre. Not too long ago, though, my girlfriend came home with “The Other Sister”, also known as “Juliette Lewis and That One Guy Play Retarted People Doing Cute Things”. It was so bad, after about fifteen minutes I got up to go study.
“From Dusk Till Dawn” really hurt me, because I was enjoying the first half so much. I really dig Clooney and Keitel, and I thought it had promise. Then, about halfway through, it becomes a B-horror movie. I told a lot of people to go see it, and when the girl starts dancing on the table, just get up and leave and imagine your own ending.

I waited, wisely, until it came on television. I love science fiction but this sucked, bit and blew big time. I wasted 3/4 of the movie watching boring political infighting scenes and crappy ‘poor me’ episodes by Jodie Foster before they finally get to the special effects – and they were over!
Star Wars. I liked the first ones some because of the comedy effect of Harrison Ford but, being a big Sci-fi buff, I find it hard to believe that an advanced race with energy swords, star drive, intelligent robots and such would run around in middle eastern robes, live in such crappy cities and harp on an already worn out good guy Vs bad ruler theme. I have not watched The Phantom Menace.
Some mornings, it’s just not worth chewing through the leather straps.
