Only film I've ever walked out of was Teeth. About a killer vagina IIRC. Me and my mates had already watched a film but being the young rebels we were decided to sneak into this. Lasted about 25 mins.

Most recently I turned off Donnie Darko about 40 mins in. Might have been down to tiredness so I will try and watch again

Seeing as how we're doing films we didn't finish on DVD - Seed, a film by German crapmeister Uwe Boll, but not for the obvious reason. It's about the police hunt for some kind of ubermensch super-depraved serial killer, and there's a scene early on where the cops are looking through some videotape that he's sent them. It's (presumably) shot in his basement, and (IIRC) starts off with time-lapse footage of a dead cockroach rotting. We then see a mouse scurrying around in the basement, before switching to time-lapse footage of the same mouse rotting. He's obviously starving them of food and water until they die. Same goes for a cat, then a dog. Then a crying toddler appears in the basement...

Just could not watch any further. It's amazing how having a child of your own can press buttons that you didn't even know you had :wacko:

I guess that counts as a rare win for Uwe, as it certainly had the desired effect. Incidentally, his movie Rampage is actually a good film, shockingly. He also did a competent Auschwitz re-enactment documentary thing that just a bit pointless due to the many other Holocaust docs available.

I've never walked out of the cinema as I rarely go but I often turn dvd's off if they are shite. Most recently was Spring Breakers which is all levels of pish.

I have no idea why people like that film. It's absolute dirge.

Spriiiiiiiing breaaaaaaaaaaaak.

People were actually laughing at the wee monologue bits at the cinema.

Spring Breakers was a porn movie, was it not? That's certainly how it was marketed. Would also explain its popularity

The middle-ages men who liked it would probably be better off with the seminal Girls Gone Wild series.

Edit: "middle-ages men" :lol: You know what I meant.

Tried watching Only God Forgives with Ryan Gosling in the house recently but got half an hour in and had to turn it off before I fell asleep. Perhaps I just didn't get it but it was boring me to tears.

Not just you. A fifteen minute short stretched to feature length.

Remember a lot of people walking out of From Dusk Til Dawn when the vampire scenes kicked in. I don't remember how it was marketed , but , I definitely knew it was a horror and not a tarantino heist film. Seething didn't quite do them justice.

Never walked out of one, I remember being taken to see the pokemon movie with my mate and his dad, his dad bought us treats, sat us down, told us to behave before pulling out an eye mask and earplugs before snoring his way through the movie... :lol:

I'm afraid I gave this to the end as I do with most films. It is art film at its worst.

I wish!

Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez in a porn film would've at least been worth watching.

Walked out on Lincoln (at the behest of the missus).

Back in '99 as a foreign exchange student, I went to see Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas for the first time at the student Nation (Swedish version of a student union). About half the people walked out of the movie - but not me. Loved it, then read the book and later realised the film was awful. The book is still my favourite.

I turned Fear and Loathing off also I think I got to about 20 minutes.

I'm not much of a film buff and me and the wife are choosy as to what we go to see at the cinema. I have only ever walked out of the cinema mid-film once and that was 7even. Not my choice, I hasten to add, but that of the girl I was seeing at the time, who 'felt sick' at some of the scenes and demanded (yes demanded) we leave.

No surprise that it turned out she was a control freak and a bit of a mentalist and we parted ways within a few weeks.

Smashing tits, mind.
