What are you talking about? Event Horizon scared the bejesus out of me, Lost in Space was like watching a cartoon
“I’ve got more rhymes than the bible’s got psalms.”
The only movie I’ve ever actually walked out on was one of those beneath-contempt Ernest blows chunks or whatever. I’m not sure what possessed us to go see it in the first place.
I tend to keep my hopes up even beyond reason ; Stargate and Good Will Hunting are two I didn’t give up on until the end. I felt used afterwards.
If I hadn’t been with a group of friends, I would have walked out on Starship Troopers. Absolutely appalling, especially given that the “lead” (Casper Van Dien) was a childhood friend (his name used to be Rob). Painful. His drama coach must have focussed on the “pout” as his only technique. The experience of watching this movie on the big screen evoked the sensation of being clubbed on the head repeatedly.
Rental - we dubbed The Accidental Tourist “The Accidental Movie” and stuck a stickie note inside the cover warning the next person not to be fooled.

My fiends and I don’t walk out on videos, we either MST3K them, or turn down the sound and do our own (Usually better) dubbing.
I don’t normally see movies in theaters, since I have problems with loud crowds, but I wanted to walk out on Cutthroat Island, Pirate movie, should be great!! Ugh, the film should have been buried on Oak Island.

Did you see Beloved? It was on Starz the other night and I turned it off after being treated to the sight of Oprah Winfrey taking a leak. I don’t think Oprah has ever been in a good movie.
Feel free to correct me at any time. But don’t be surprised if I try to correct you.

I know exactly where you’re coming from, I felt the same way about American Beauty. Keep in mind that I didn’t claim you didn’t get it. I think you just have to be in an introspective mood or something, and if I’d seen it on a different day I may well have hated it as well.

That’s what I meant. LIS was a blatant and boring ripoff of EH.
“His eyes are as green as a fresh-pickled toad,
His hair is as dark as a blackboard,
I wish he was mine, he’s really divine,
The hero who conquered the Dark Lord.”
I’m surprised it hasn’t come up yet, but I would walk out on Wing Commander if I was on an airplane!
Also Godzilla.
Hello all - this is my first post.
The list is long, but no movie disgusted me more than Disney’s Hercules. Yeah, I know, serves me right for seeing it… I knew what waters I was wading into (Victor, Hugo, and Laverne the talking gargoyles spring painfully to mind).
I led a summer camp that year, and you can be sure I told all the kids (with their Megara luchboxes and Herc velcro sandals) the real story. I tend to be a bit of a purist when it comes to retelling classical mythology.
That said, I love Clash of the Titans. Go figure.
There’s a lot of good fish in the sea…maybe…but the vast masses seem to be mackerel or herring, and if you’re not mackerel or herring yourself, you are likely to find very few good fish in the sea. ~D.H. Lawrence, Lady Chatterly’s Lover.
Smeghead…
Ouch. Did you have to remind me of Wing Commander? Ehhhh.
And when I saw it, they didn’t even play the frigging Star Wars trailer! The agony.

Tisiphone, I’m hoping you skipped the part where Hercules murdered Megara in a rage??
Aw geez, more therapy for the little tikes.
I walked out of:
Beaches
The Rocketeer
Hannah and her Sisters
I should have walked out of:
Parenthood
Every Friday the 13th movie
Every Nightmare on Elm Street movie
Every Hellraiser movie
Every Stephen King horror movie
I used to be a real horror movie buff, but reformed and abandoned them.
As for walking out of a Bette Midler movie, hey, I was young. I rented the movie about 6 months ago and really enjoyed it. I really like Bette; is that so wrong?

sdimbert,
The more I think about it, the more difficult I find it to match up your memories of that (mice = Jews) film with anything. If the film in the next theater was Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, that would be about the right time for Wizards, but your description of the plot isn’t very close. Is it possible that you’ve mixed in memories of other films that you’ve seen since then?
there was this one surfing movie… in god’s hands that we all walked out on. that movie is just bad. i mean, we go to the movies like almost every week, and that is the first one we have walked out on.
we almost walked out on 13th warrior, but it ended before we gotta chance to.
Battle beyond the stars
Johnboy Walton being sooo intense ,the SFX were crap too.
Silence of the lambs
Young inexperienced female cop gets sicko Lecter released over the objections of her more experienced seniors? C’mon .The whole thing has no credibility whatsoever.
Gets him released? I thought Lecter broke out.
I walked out on Mickey Blue Eyes just today, right about when Hugh Grant was trying to keep his fiance from seeing that painting at the auction house.
Pulp Fiction, and I laughed my ass off!
Spice World almost made me puke. Don’t ask me why I was coerced into that one.
I went to There’s Something About Mary with a friend, and halfway through I would have been perfectly content to walk out. I talked to him afterward and discovered he felt the same way. We were both just too polite to be the first to leave.
Not merely because the movie was disgusting. It was disgusting and for the most part unfunny. (I laughed all the way through South Park, so it’s not that I hate raunchy humor.)
I loathed Notting Hill. I’m sick of seeing Hugh Grant do the same role over and over again. And don’t get me started about Julia The Teeth Roberts. Talk about overrated. I was on a plane when I watched this little masterpiece. Made me look for a parachute.
Into the West. It just bored me to tears and I left about one hour into it.
Forrest Fucking Gump!!!
I’ve been lucky, though. Most of the stuff that I’ve really hated I’ve seen either on TV or at a friend’s place on tape. Makes me feel better to know that I haven’t wasted too much of my money on crap.
Mrs Doubtfire (what the hell was I thinking?)
The Big Lebowski (big letdown after Fargo)
2001: A Space Odyssey (had to watch that one in high school. Eek.)
Valmont. Nowhere near as good as Dangerous Liaisons.
Four Rooms. Poor Tim Roth.
Legends of the Fall.
I could add more movies but I don’t want you to think that I’m difficult.
