Have You Ever Walked Out Of A Cinema Film?

[Prudie]

Some of the answers on piggynose's cinema thread have got me thinking, have you ever walked out/left in the middle of a film at the cinema and if so why? I did it once, will tell you why in a bit.

[Redhelen72]

Yes a Madonna movie where she got pregnant by her gay bestie
Terrible movie

[Zacs-Master]

Does it have to be exactly in the middle?

[bednobs]

sky captain and the world of tomorrow

[maggiebee]

Walked out of "Cats" - bored stiff.

[Prudie]

ZM I already pondered every word before I posted...you know what I mean, no not necessarily exactly in the middle.

[piggynose]

not sure what the name of the film was, but it was my 1st date with a new GF, and it turned out to be a soft porn cartoon!! I think it was loosely based on Tarzan! We looked at each other and after about 15mins or so we upped and left. I´m sure we werent the only ones to leave!

Not walked out, but I have fallen asleep

[rowanwitch]

Yes, a film that at the time the critics were raving about... End of watch, hand held camera work was nausea inducing and it was a constant stream of gratuitous obscenities.

[Barsel]

Yes I did. I thought it was Dr Zhivago but I'm not sure now as I watched it recently on the TV and didn't see the scene I walked out on.
I remember there was snow and people fighting on horseback and a lot of blood in the snow. Any ideas?

I haven't, but know of a couple who are religious, who went to see The Titanic. When the sex scenes came on between Jack and Rose, they walked out! :-))

[ToraToraTora]

No, never walked out, I generally only go if know something about the film anyway.

[MissTerious2]

That's my favourite film, Barsel. I think it may be the reason I married a Russian! I was going to call my daughter Larissa, but I had a boy. I was smitten by that film.

[Barsel]

Lottie was the scene in it as I thought? I didn't see that scene on TV.

[Toorak]

I haven’t but like MissT I have fallen asleep. It was following a curry lunch (to get us in the mood) and I missed most of Gandhi.

[ToraToraTora]

17:35, sounds like "jungle burger" piggy.

[Prudie]

Mine is a bit pathetic. I was newly single and a bit weepy but grown-up woman of the 90s and all that I thought I'd go to the local multi-screen on my own to see a Hugh Grant film. Better than sitting in alone hoping for a phone call that wouldn't come. When I got to the ticket kiosk they apologised that the screenings in the local paper were wrong and the Hugh Grant movie wasn't showing, why don't you see the new film Braveheart he said. Mel Gibson I thought, can't be too bad.
I had to walk out, his lover getting her throat cut was the start but the battle scenes and the horses falling finished me off. I had to leave in floods :-(

[MissTerious2]

Probably Barsel.

[MissTerious2]

I can watch films where people get killed by guns , but not with knives. I have a dreadful fear of knives. I can't watch films with animals in in case the animals get hurt or killed, or even just die.

[anneasquith]

Prudie, a particularly gruesome part of the film .

I once fell asleep during a late Saturday night showing and, because i didn't stand for the National Anthem, an officer took my number, rank and name, and the following Monday morning, i was up in front of my Battery Commander (think magistrates court) who didn't accept my excuse that i'd had a few bevvies prior to going to the Garrison cinema. I was fined £20. That was back in the mid 70s but i don't recall the film.
