I fell asleep at home during Blade Runner. I guessed the twist ending about 10m in.

However the making-of doc for BR was fascinating

What Movies Have You Walked Out On
A long forgotten movie with the promising but ultimately unfulfilled title of Full Frontal.

I walked out on it. Unfortunately I had come to the theater w/a friend, in his car. So I simply stood in the lobby until the movie ended and he came out. I had to show someone or something, even if it was only the unseen being in charge of the cosmos, that this movie was an unwatchable piece of shite.

The same guy I saw FF with claims another Soderbergh film, Schizopolis (which I haven't seen) is even worse.

I shudder at the mere thought...

I "walked out" on Slacker, but fortunately this was at somebody's house and I had my car.

Freddy Got Fingered is so bad that it makes Islamic Jihadists seem sympathetic by comparison. A dubbed musical featuring Jeffrey Dahmer would have entertained more people.

It was Clint Eastwood and bridges. I thought Clint was going to blow up some bridges. I was so so wrong.


I laughed.

I never walked out of a movie theater.

My wife and I watched the first 10 minutes of Saw IV and stopped the streaming.

We probably didn't get 10 minutes into that Phillip Morris movie, either.

We regretted watching all of Babylon.

I regretted watching all of 2001 Space Odyssey (and regretted having children when my son wanted to watch it about 25 years later with me).

House with the clock in the walls and Miss Perigens Home for Peculiar Children (got too freaky for kids)
The Hot Chick (went with friends in college and it was too stupid for even me at that time.)
Bullet Train (was a bit too over the top for my wife. I went back and watched it by myself and love it.)

The Lobster was OK and quirky but Sacred Deer really bothered me. I thought it would get a bit better with the Favourite but bailed on him forever after that.

The next 3 all gave me the ick vibes and never gave a chance.

Dude’s got issues.

Max Payne & don’t mess with the Zohar or whatever.

Oh and the one super hero movie that has the blue guys with the giant dick.

You walked out on Watchmen? That's one of the best super hero movies ever made.

Phone booth. It was just a guy in a phone booth cussing up a storm.

I never have but wish I would have walked out of Batman vs Superman after the first 5 minutes.

I read the book, watched the movie on cable. Movie wasn’t very good, even with DDL as lead.

Yeah, was only 28 then and didn't have much tolerance for "art" films.

Looking back at the cast, it was pretty solid.

DDL - I don't think he was very well known at that time. I didn't even remember he was in it until I looked it up on Wiki.

I think I had a thing for Lena Olin, which is why I even bothered going to see it.

Stellen Skarsgard was also in it.

'The Jerk' (Steve Martin.)

Went with the GF and another couple and couple take it.

Wound up watching the first Star Trek movie at an adjacent theater of the multiplex -- only seats left were in the front row. Great decision.

Midnight Express. It won all kinds of awards and was nominated for Best Picture, so I'm sure it was good. But I was 16 and my boyfriend (Later husband) wanted to see it. Lots of rough prison scenes and lots of torture in the Turkish prison. I spent about half the movie in the lobby. It was definitely for mature audiences only and I wasn't.
