Re: Have you ever walked out of a movie?

oh yeah, and add Silence of the Lambs to that list grugmbgrumblegrugroanrurmggrrrr...

==================
edited to add, since I am on a roll, all those Night Shymalian movies. I know, I know; the buggah is brilliant. So I watch each one precisely *one* time, then I toss and turn for months/years fretting and reliving his movies over and over in my head. Crop circles, dead people and unbreakables, oh my.

I had to walk out of Batman Begins twice due to the amount of soda I was drinking that day. Lucky for me another friend wanted to go the next day, so I went just so that I can see the missed scenes.

What's his status on Will & Grace? I love that show but never seem to watch it. Is this their last season? Are they still on?

He was married to Grace during Season 4 or 5. I know that they are still on, heading into their final season (whine!!!) I catch them at 1030p....too late to be up, sure, but I love that show.

Yup, that's when I catch them, if I do, since I'm such a night owl.

I think I'll have to buy those dvd sets someday.

Re: Have you ever walked out of a movie?

what an interesting thread. yup, definitely shows how different our tastes are. a bunch of the titles mentioned are titles that i actually liked, sometimes very much: vanilla sky (strange, but i found it intriguing), the matrix (i think it's a great movie), pulp fiction (quirky, but i like it), garden state (slow but it didn't get on my nerves), silence of the lambs (i liked it; thought hopkins did a great job).

i've seen lots of movies that i didn't like but never walked out on one...

oops. forgot to mention elaine bennis's review of "the english patient" where she says, "just die already!!!"

(i actually haven't seen it yet... no special reason; just no interest.)

I walked out of Twister because I was on 24-hour-a-day on-call status working in a youth shelter and had to get going. I did see it again the next day.

I RAN out of The Blair Witch Project because I got seasick. Had to run to the bathroom to puke, then just walked around the block a few times until my friends got out of the Cinerama.

Re: Have you ever walked out of a movie?

I can't say I've ever walked out of a movie. But man Con Air and The Matrix
are among my favorite movies ...some people...hmmm

Yes, "some people" actually think The Matrix's tired, worn-out "oooh, lookie, alternate reality, drugs, what is reality? what is not reality? ooooh ... where are my shades?" is something new. Those of use who have been around a little longer know it's just recycled 1960s and '70s druggie babble (oh, and hello, Carlos Castaneda ... another crashing bore), recycled for a younger generation. But it's oh so original to anyone under 30 who hasn't checked out popular culture from previous generations. They think they invented it. <laughing>

However, the second movie did have a cool motorcycle/car chase in it. At least, I think it was the second Matrix movie. Not sure, really, because someone kiped it off the Internet and showed it to me on his computer. If the whole movie/series were made up of those scenes, I could quite easily tolerate it. Enjoy it, even. But please leave the recycled, overblown Timothy Leary lectures (with the addition of unnecessary sunglasses) out of it. <yawn>
