Ever walked out of the theater, over a bad movie? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I did, many years ago. The movie was Dune. It's still a running joke in our house. If I'm trying to think of movies to add to my Netflix que, my husband will say, "Let's watch Dune again."...or I'll say, "How about Dune?" If we watch a lousy movie, one of us might say, "That was Dune bad."

That WAS a bad movie, Janice.

I came very close to walking out of Hannibal. Violence in films usually doesn't bother me, but the "dinner" scene in that movie made me feel physically ill.

"Dinner" was pretty much the only memorable scene in that movie

I walked out of Matrix Reloaded about 30 mins into it because I was so bored and hated it and snuck into X2 instead

I only did that once. A friend and I went to see 'Blood Fist'. It was so bad, that we left 30 minutes into it. I think there were like 4 or 5 sequels to it.

I don't think I got that far, lol. I actually don't remember a single scene in that movie, only that it was comically horrible.

Exactly once, over some Australian thing my classmates dragged me to. Strangely enough, it wasn't even the worst film I'd ever had to sit through, but the plot, mixed with the company, mixed with my early-twenties... crushes... made it all a bit too much. And the funny thing is, I can't remember anything at all about the movie today. Nothing!

The Special Director's Cut is like 5 five hours long or something.

Does making out throughout a movie count as walking out on it?

well, let's just say it had something to do with a skillet and Ray Liotta's brain

I walked out on St. Elmo's Fire in 1985 and that was my last trip to a theater until The Incredibles in Decemeber, 2004 and that was against my will.

You don't see Ray with his skull cut open, nor do you see the part where Hannibal feeds him his own brain. It was a jip, because that was the money scene as far as I was concerned. The rest of the movie was horrid compared to Silence Of The Lambs.

I don't want to see that scene again.

It wasn't during Schindler's List, was it?

In case you don't get the joke, it's from an episode of Seinfeld.

I remember I did walk out of a movie but I don't think it was because it was bad. I don't even remember what movie it was. It was 1977, Star Wars was huge and I had such a crush on Mark Hamill. I went to see another movie but really wanted to go see Star Wars again. So I think I watched about 20 minutes of the first movie, left and snuck into Star Wars.
