Have you ever walked out of the cinema because the film was so awful?

[emkana]

I did, "under siege" with Stephen Seagal in it.
It was a sneak preview, where you didn't know beforehand which film you were going to see.

I wanted to walk out of AI but having sat and watched it for like two hours you feel it has to get better. Would have walked out of Existenz (anybody else ever even heard of it?) but Jude Law did just about manage to hold my interest.

spunk in your throat acnebride? Oo-err

association of ideas carolina

but since my formative adolescent film was Another Country, I am always waiting for the male film stars I like to start shagging other men in a punt

I've not walked out of a cinema but was very tempted to walk out of Starlight Express. 3 of our party did just that, lucky beggars. Absolute shite!

Yes, several times! I've slept my way through most of the films that I take the kids to see (Shrek and Toy Story 1 & 2 being the exceptions)

i've never walked out of a movie but i did get dumped during 'big trouble in little china' when i was 16....she said it was either her or the movie cos she thought it was awful and she wanted to get the bus home....so i had the choice, get dumped or experience the sheer genius of another top john carpenter/kurt russell team up.....no contest really!

I've seen ExistenZ. Shoite. But it's a David Cronenberg film so I deserved it. I knew better.

I saw Devil Wears Prada the other night, it is utterly vacuous and lightweight and predictable but I sort of enjoyed it. However as I was leaving, i thought "God I must lose some weight" then decided the film was a bad influence on young women in all sorts of ways.

never actually done it but wanted to in AI: artificial intelligence

Agree about seven. A really unwholesome, disgusting film. As well as being utterly tedious and badly lit. Couldn't see the point of it, except to incite deranged people to go out and commit murder. Yeuch.

Walked out of Interview With A Vampire.

Professor, was NOT drunk nor had drunk anything. Same thing nearly happened with "dancer in the dark" too shaky!

I have never left a cinema, but have turned off the following on DVD:

Thin Red Line
Nightmare Before Christmas
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
Godfather 3

Alexander
God it was diabolical
I demanded and got a refund and I was not alone, huge swathes of the audience followed my lead.

I walked out of the really bloody Tarantino one (name escapes me). I love Tarantino films but this is the one where they cut someone's ear off - it was just wall to wall blood and I'd just eaten dinner and was on a first date so was a bit jittery as it was! I did actually come back in before the end though and subsequently watched it on video and was fine!

oh I know, Reservoir Dogs.

Have also seen Existenz, terrible but yes Jude Law almost makes it watchable.

I fall asleep through most films tbh. I usually last about 10 minutes, especially in the cinema as it's so dark and the seats are plush. Zzzz... Actually my falling asleep isn't a true reflection of anything other than my inability to focus on a screen at length.

I wish I had fallen asleep during or walked out of AI, Mars Attacks, Hitchiker's Guide and Saw II (for its sheer gruesome-ness). Oh and I'm the only person on the planet who can't get into Donnie Darko and am villified amongst my peers for it.

expat, ,when I went with a friend to see Love Actually, we laughed out loud all the way through at its crapness (except Bill Nighy) and got "shhhed" at rather a lot.

No-one else in the cinema seemed to find it remotely funny

turned off dvd to Brokeback Mountain as couldn't understand a bloody word they were saying, even with sound turned right up

oxocube I had the same problem with Brokeback Mountain but I got DH to translate and stuck with it and I absolutely loved it. It's a slow starter but it's cinematically excellent imho. Very moving and well executed. Love it!

Bloodyhands, I knew I had missed something special and will perservere with it another time. I just found it so bloody annoying as I'd heard such rave reviews. I made about half way through before giving up. also agree that 'Cars' was dull but was with little kids so couldn't leave!!
