Have you ever left a movie theater midway through the movie?

[Slug]

we went to go see the movie wedding crashers or something, and in the first 10 minutes, naked women were on screen.

i was about 9 and with my family.

what did your family expect, nudity is almost guaranteed in a 15. D:

 

[ayailla]

The film, Troy. Went and got a McDonalds... came back and Boo'd at the end.

Also, the Chinese film Dumplings was immediatly taken out of my DVD player and never watched again after a certain scene... Urgh...

 

[_Cake_]

Yes, twice.

I was actually quite ill went I went to see the film, it's a good movie, but not when you've got a stomach infection. Unfortunately the bit with the eyes just pushed me over the edge, so I had to charge out the cinema and start being sick all over the pavement. Hilarious for everyone but me.

<spoiler=The second time: The Thing> Was being reshown at my local cinema, having never seen it before I decided to go.
Then came the bit with the dogs, oh dear god the bit with the dogs. Up until that point the film was brilliant, I'm sure the rest is brilliant too, but there are some things that cannot be unseen.

THE THING?! GET BACK IN THERE! NOW!
It's one of the smartest movies ever made.

spoiler

The forms the thing takes are scare tactics to stun or freak out it's enemy (guess it would have worked on you heheh j/k). Every single move the thing makes is a tactical move to either take more hosts or just survive. There isn't really anymore gross stuff with dogs, just watch the end.

I left within ten minutes of the Wachowski Brothers' remake of Speed Racer. It was so awful, I just couldn't stomach another minute.

 

[CptCamoPants]

The 2nd Jurassic Park. My brother started crying.

 

[ConnorCool]

Oceans 12.. that film sucked so much.

 

[Fortesque]

Only ever walked out once... 28 Weeks Later. Horrible horrible movie

dude, it's not a bad movie, you just don't like zombie movies and if you think you do, then you should enjoy 28 weeks later. It was an awesome movie, althought 28 days later was better.
No I've never walked out of a movie, because I only go to the movies I want to see.

HEY! I Fucking LOVE Zombie movies. Zombies are the greatest horror movie creep ever.

HOWEVER, in 28 weeks/days later, they ARNT Zombies. The arnt already dead, just infected with some virus. And i really didnt mind 28 Days Later, thats why i went to see Weeks Later. It was just bad though, was about an hour or so to go and all that was going to happen was all the infected would die... YAY

whatever dude, I just reckon 28 weeks later is one of the better zombies movies around at the moment, I mean look at the zombie movies being made past 2007, Zombie strippers and House of the Damned. Shit like that, IMO it's ridiculous the amount of shit house zombie movies you get these days

No, no, no. Its not one of the better 'zombie' movies around. They arnt Zombies.

What makes a Zombie a Zombie
1: They are dead - They arnt
2: They eat people - They dont
3: and depending on era zombies, they are slow, clumsy and braindead - They are fast and seem to be sort of co-ordinated
4: They spread by biting, scratching etc - Granted they do that

1/4 isnt a good score, therefor, not Zombies

They're different kinds of zombies, they're viral zombies as opposed to Undead zombies that you're talking about, everyone knows that. -_- Douche. I know a person who is doing their thesis on zombies.

Thesis on Zombies?? Fair enough.

The definition of a zombie is a reanimated corpse. And the Viral Zombie is something more along the lines of Resident Evil zombies, and even then then T-Virus re-animates the dead tissue in the body. So the viral zombie is still Undead.

EDIT- Viral Zombies as apposed to traditional zombies being controlled by some supernatural force IE Voodoo

 

[Eagle Est1986]

Nah, I've never walked out mid way through, except maybe to go to the bathroom.
I did nearly fall asleep watching one of the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels though.

 

[cousto]

Never left a movie midway through, fell asleep during Harry Potter, and watched people leave during a screening of Bruno.

Way I see it is I paid for my ticket, that seat is mine until the credits roll.

 

[Pillypill]

I ran out of "faliure to launch"; terrible movie.

Zombies aren't corpses at all, if you're going to get literal. Vodou zombis are people who have been controlled by bokor using the black magic of the Loa, and aren't actually dead at all - a "corpse" is created using a deadening potion that essentially puts a person comatose until the bokor applies the antidote. Also, all zombis come from Haiti.* By this logic, Romero-esque zombies (that are actually referred to as "ghouls"), and 28-Days zombies ("Infected") both have exactly as much right to be referred to as zombies.

OT - I haven't walked out of a movie, but I did fall asleep during Die Another Day. I don't go to the cinema for films that are clearly going to be awful, so things like [Noun] Movie are right out. Also, I can't allow myself to believe that anyone would go to see Bruno and NOT think there would be a gay sex scene.

EDIT - *this may not be entirely accurate, it's been a while since I was really into this stuff. The overall point is that they're never dead though.

 

[Micklet]

Itd be like walking out of a live theatre show, and thats something id never do...plus ya gotta see how it ends, and i generally like crap movies too, you can find humour in them. Mind you, the Spirit and Watchmen tempted me beyond belief to leave.....I like comic book films, and indeed I love the Watchmen comic book, but those two films were abominations on this earth....

 

[sirdanrhodes]

Almost did during G.I. Joe, but then I realised the bus would take about another hour to get to the cinema...

I was mainly talking about the argument of movie zombies, and there are also alot of Zombie movies where they are never actually referred to as Zombies. Also, if im not mistaken. I believe they say in 28 Weeks Later " The last of the Infected died of STARVATION ". A zombie couldnt die of starvation, because they are already Dead.

However, on the Vodou and Haitian side of it. A zombi is a dead person that can be revived by a bokor, or sorcerer. Zombies remain under the control of the bokor since they have no will of their own.

 

[Jezzascmezza]

I was so damn tempted to walk out of GI Joe after the first 20 minutes.
I really should've, the movie was terrible.

 

[Nargleblarg]

Never have walked out of a movie because either it's good or so bad I can just laugh my ass off.

 

[dallan262]

all the lord of the rings
harry potter 1 2 and 3 didnt go see any after
transformers 2 ( i liked the movie... just my gf phoned up sayin she was in trouble so i had to go see what was what)
monsters vs aliens ( its an insult to animation )

 

[Sigel]

10,000 BC... I've never ever walked out on a movie before ( or after ) this... I've sat through some terrible movies, I've bought some terrible movies... but I've never been forced out of my chair like I have with that pile of garbage

Me too!!! I thought that movie was so boring, I could feel brain cells dying. I left that piece of garbage 30 minutes in and got a refund on the ticket.

That is the only movie I have ever walked out of though. I have wanted to walk out before on other movies, but I was with other people who seemed to enjoy it at the time.

 

[DarkMessiah]

Only ever done it once, me and a couple of friends walked out of The Darjeeling Limited

 

[LopezMeister]

When I went to see Men In Black there was a fire alarm half way through and everyone had to leave. We got treated to a meal paid for by the cinema at Frankie and Benny's and then got to watch the film again from the start. Pity I was quite young at the time because I probably would have enjoyed the experience on the whole much more had I been older.
