Anyone ever watch a movie and then find it so bad you stop watching it? It's probably happened to anybody.

I watched the movie "Crimes of Passion" starring Kathleen Turner and Anthony Perkins. This was the unrated and uncut version available from Netflix. My parents saw it and they said it was garbage. I wasn't too thrilled with it, either. This movie has a lot of sex and stuff. The problem is that the wrong person was cast as China Blue. Kathleen Turner wasn't very attractive, especially in that blonde wig.

I took it out of the DVD player and sent it back before it was even halfway done. I might give it a second chance someday.

There was some movie with Lance Bass that my roommate and I started watching cuz it was free on our housing channel. Wow. What a complete waste of time. He talked about presidents with some mystery girl and then couldn't find her... oh gee, I wonder how it ended

We turned it off after twenty minutes and walked to Blockbuster it was that boring.

Oh, and I did actually fall asleep during a movie for the first time in my life this summer. We were in the British Film Institute (the BFI) for class and were watching this horrible film from the seventies. I don't know what it was - some old man goes to visit his son and he's got an old girlfriend and - oh, I don't even remember. But don't tell my prof. We were not allowed to fall asleep in that class. I did, and I was in the front row

Solaris

I like Sci-fi and I like space movies, but even I couldn't stand that movie. I turned off the DVD after 20 minutes.

They were both on t.v., so I decided "why not"?

Waste of time.

I turned The Butterfly Effect off after about 35 minutes. I thought the movie was a little TOO graphic, and also I thought the plot in general was done to better effect when it was called Donnie Darko.

Thank you! I've found someone else on the planet who didn't like that movie. I actually fell asleep in the theatre during that flick.

Although, to be fair, it was a 10:30 show and I went to work that morning at 5 am to do inventory.

I loved 'The Butterfly Effect'. I thought it would be stupid but I really enjoyed it. Granted, it was nowhere near as good as 'Donnie Darko', and it had more than it's fair share of plot-holes, but it's still one of the best movies I've seen recently.

Lord, that was an AMAZING movie!! How could you hate it?

I hated Donnie Darko. God, it made me depressed for almost 2 weeks.

I think Ashton Kutcher is one of the most annoying and talentless actors in Hollywood. The movie had potential but it chose to become way too sensational in the flashbacks. I couldn't watch anymore because the stuff they showed that happened in his life was beyond horrific.

I have a conscience, watching a movie where a dog gets torched alive, kids get molested, and an infant dies in a prank gone wrong is not what I find entertaining, and I am glad I turned it off after 35 minutes, because it could only get even more disturbing from there.
