movies/tv Have you walked out of a movie before?

[Magic Note 2,748]

Have you ever went to the movies and saw a film that made you end up walking out on mid-film? I can't say that I have yet, but I did come close to walking out on Shrek the Third.

I walked out of "Final Destination 4". I don't like those sorts of gory movies, but my friends wanted to see it. Anyway, I waited outside until they were done. 

[PSP (Dizzy) 201]

Nah. A film would have to do something very discomforting for me to do that. 

[SnowBurn 17]

Yup, Scream 4 was actually that bad. I have no idea why I thought paying money to see that was a good idea....

[PROJECT: Simon 3,954]

Nope, why waste $20 just to look at a movie and leave if it's bad? I don't like that.

Well, the thing is, you've paid the money already. Staying til the end of the movie doesn't mean you'll get anything back, nor does leaving the movie halfway through cost you any more. So why stay and be miserable watching a movie you are suffering from watching?

But why, Stormfury. But why.

Yes, the movie was 'Twilight'...

Luckily I was working at the theatre at the time so the admission for me and my friend was free. But it was still terrible nonetheless.

I walked out on "How The Grinch Stole Christmas". Yikes, it was bad!

I presume you mean the Jim Carrey version?

[cuteycindyhoney 13,307]

I presume you mean the Jim Carrey version?

Yes. I liked the cartoon just fine. It may just be that I don't like Jim Carey  as an actor. I do grant that he did a wonderful job as the voice of Ebeneezer Scrooge in the Disney 2009 version of "A Christmas Carol". I think that's mainly because he wasn't allowed to ad-lib or run crazy with the dialog.

I have once walked out of a bad film, but it was so long ago I've forgotten what film it was.

This is known as the "sunk costs fallacy". You've invested a certain amount of time/money/energy into an endeavour, and even though you can't see it possibly turning out well, you continue to invest in it to justify your initial outlay.

[TheAnimationFanatic 3,596]

Only two times, one was with Chicken Little. The movie was so unfunny and mean spirited that it actually started making me feel uncomfortable. The second time was with Doogal, which got under my skin with endless pop culture references.

[LeafFerret 3,382]

I don't think I have walked out on a movie before, I mean you did pay to see that movie.

[Megas 27,630]

No I haven't, normally I'd only watch movies I know I'll enjoy.

 

That said I could see myself walking out on something like Twilight or The Last Airbender

[Ziltoid the Omniscient 286]

Nope. But I did fall asleep in the theater to Iron Man 2. But...I blame that on the pack of blunts I smoked in the parking lot before I went in

[Clawdeen 14,180]

No but some of them I wish I did. Especially Les Miserables, not only was it way too long but it got to the point where I didn't even understand what was going on.My mom didn't like it either so idk why we couldn't of left.

[NamelessHorse 59]

Well, I've walked out of every movie I've gone to eventually, as they frown on you staying much past the credits.

 

But other than that, the only time this came close to happening was the last time I went to a theater, which was to see the Simpsons movie with a friend, who had paid for my ticket.

Not yet, I've been forcibly removed from one before, but that's because i dropped a bucket of popcorn and they thought i was drunk.

yeah they don't like that, especially when your asleep at the end and wake up asking when the film will start XD, Saw two movies in one, yay free movie XD

[The Shyest One 808]

I walked out on the last Spiderman movie, mainly because it was late at night when I watched it and I was sleepy. So I left to go home, and slept.

[CC_Maud_Pie 6,431]

Nope. Never done that. I don't even exit the movie theater just to go to the bathroom or get something from the concession stand. I don't wanna miss a scene from a movie I'm seeing for the first time.

[Lisa 5,553]

Noop. Never seen a bad movie because I always hear peoples' opinions on movies I'm about to watch.

[Silver Letter 1,832]

No, I have never done that yet.

[Ink Drop 18]

Paranormal activity 4, friends made me go see it with them. I'm not a fan of horror movies anyways because I find them stupid, but oh my god that movie is bad. So I left like 20 minutes before the movie ended and got my money back for it.
