Oh, who am I kidding? There are too many.
Well, you're in good company. Nobody here likes any of those films.

A nightmare even!

*gasp*
I know it! Psycho not suspenseful? I don't even know what to say to that. Well, except: try it again, and keep in mind that because of the fame and reputation that precedes the film, you probably already knew what was going to happen.

Are you serious?? Since when does long = bad? That makes no sense whatsoever...

Yo She Bi*ch, lets go.
I've walked out on a few movies myself.

Spy Kids 3-D game over- The first one was "OK" the second I have not seen yet, the third was a joke. It sucked in all ways possible. Bad acting, bad story, poor view on what video games are like.

The Forgotten- I did not exactly walk out on this one, but I was about too.

The Never Ending Story III: return to fantasia- I did not walk away from this one. I just turned the VCR off.

STOMP FREAKIN' TASTIC!
Got about half way through Suicide Club and turned it off. I usually like this sort of movie but for some reason just couldn't get into it.

Be Cool



the only movie that i have ever started watching and then stopped before halfway was enternal sunshine of the spotless mind



Uh, Irreversible.. it was 1.00 AM, it took ten minutes to make me sick and i went to bed a bit disturbed (i read somewhere they used ultrasounds we humans can't hear but that make us sick).. sick.



Some may disagree with me here- but i turned off Resevoir Dogs in the first 10 minutes. Seeing Quentin trying to act in that diner- oh my god- it was disgusting. Eventually a friend of mine got me to watch it again, although i skipped the beginning. Its a shame that some of the acting was actually good, but i had to be basically strapped down to finish it.

Yeah, i think that's true. Great film though. Was 10 minutes enough to see the guys face smashed apart?

I loved Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind! I suggest you give it another shot. Oh and I stopped watching the original version of Game of Death. It was horrible and I wouldn't wish a viewing of it upon my enemies.



Eating you Since 1984
I'll second: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Don’t worry, Cassidy. There are plenty of slobbering fans of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind here at MoFo. Personally…it’s one of my five favorite romance films.

I did see a lot of people get up and leave the advance screening I went to. It was a packed house in an auditorium that housed over a thousand. There were also plenty of disappointed Dumb & Dumber - Carrey fans complaining outside after the show.

Same thing happened when I went to see Soderbergh’s Solaris, and all the peeved fans of action sci-fi left an hour into it. Adam Sandler - Waterboy fans split a half hour into Punch-Drunk Love, which is also a favorite romance flick of mine. Most recently, it was Sin City that split a theater audience.

I kinda like it when that happens and I’m on the winning side by enjoying the picture. Especially when I fall in love with it like I did Eternal Sunshine, Punch-Drunk Love, and Sin City. I feel…privileged.
