Ever Left Mid-Movie?

Have you ever disliked a movie so much that you walked out of a theater without seeing the whole thing?

I've never done this. Though, I did fall asleep once during a movie. I disliked Dune so intensely that I just couldn't stay awake.

I've never done it, either; however, when I went to watch Dracula 2000, I desperately wanted to stand up and walk out of the theater. The only reason why I did not do that was that I had a company.

Imagine that you paid your precious money to watch the movie at the movie theater ...

It has happened to me sometimes. I tend to just leave. I value my time and since i'm a bit of a hedonist I cannt be kept seeing something I don't enjoy. and since I use my PC now for watching TV and some movies too, it's so simple to get the remote controller and spend soem quality time here instead of warching the movie Smile

I have never walked out of a film and don;t think I will, my philosiphy is that "I have paid my money, so it will hopefully get better" Razz

Heh. At least you put an optimistic spin on it. My philosophy is, "I paid, so I must watch it even if it sucks." Razz

Nowadays I have barely got time to live: I have 2 jobs, I spend some time on my PC for the sites I run, I develop other sites for money, I have to spend some small time with my BF ... days are too short for me. I don't even sleep enough and I don;t know how much I can handle this.

I haven;t been to the cinema for 2 years now, although i was in love with it once. I have no time Sad

I've ony walked out of 2 movies. One was a religious movie. After 45 minutes my friend thought it was going to get better. I offered to give him his money back if we could just leave.

The other movie was Leonard Part VI One of the worst movies ever. I remember Bill Cosby being too embarrassed to promote the film.

It wasn't The Apostle, by chance, was it? I rented that. I made it through a half hour before I turned it off.

I did watch the entire movie(video), but I can kind of understand why many people feel that the movie is slow.
