much too dark for me.DotCommunist
So many particulars. So many questions.
oh yeah, but that's different, you haven't payed for the film.
Did you know that if you leave a Cinema film while it is still running you can legitimately claim your money back?

cinema ticket is and was about a fiver. As a famous hip hop group once said 'I got five on it'. They were of course referring to the hounorable practise of pooling funds between gentleman, so as to buy a bag of weed. Needs must.

When I walked out of Battlefield Earth, I asked for and got my money back. I think they were feeling sheepish about even showing that piece of dung.

I hummus, therefore I am ...
"Human Traffic" lasted 10 minutes into that puerile load of crap.
Probably the last time I will ever go to a cinema though - I detest the whole experience.

One day the Scientologists will take their revenge on you for that
Fucked if John Travolta was going to get one cent of my money.
He got me back, though. I rented and watched Wild Hogs. He was naked in it.

'Wish You Were Here' (1987) - film with Emily Lloyd, can't remember much about it now other than it was crap so walked out with then g/f.
^^^ up yer bum!
only fillum I've ever walked out of was Dancer in the Dark- yer man Triers just kept waving the camera about willy-nilly. like you'd have a conversation between 2 people, and the camera would be hand held, and just flick between them. in short, I felt nauseous. That's not how you watch a conversation in real-life- continually flicking your head back and forth like you're watching tennis. he's a dick. He's made one fantastic fillum (the idiots), one interesting one (the 5 obstructions) and the rest just seem to be about emotionally torturing women. In my humble opinion of course
the fillum I've heard most people walk out of was Romance, directed by Catherine Breillat. Every 2 minutes, you'd hear another 2 seats pop back up into place, and the muffled sounds of a couple tramping out. "oops, there goes another one!". I don't know if they were offended by the sex, the endless feminist agit-prop or just the shit dialogue. But off they went anyway.
me and my mate stayed of course. we were hoping to see Caroline Ducey give a proper blow-job

prefer the live action stuff eh?
My friend walked out of Men In Black 2 twice.
I've noticed a lot more people walk out since the advent of the one month season tickets you can get at a lot of multiplexes. The worst offenders are OAPs at the early films. I often go to the 10:30 showing of films and many of the oldies give it a go for half an hour before deciding whether to stick with it or move on to the film starting at eleven.
The biggest walkout I have witnessed was Waltz with Bashir. The grey army walked out en masse leaving me on my own.

I didn't walk out myself, but I was a participant in a threatened walk out of Brazil, the Terry Gilliam film.
I was an extra. There were 120 of us, all having already spent a day getting hair cut in a sort of mock 50s style, and being fitted for suits. We did a couple of scenes in the morning. Then while having lunch we were told that half of us could go home. We'd been offered £120 quid for the day being kitted out and the day filming. Those of use who were selected to go home were told we would only get 60 quid as we'd only done half a day filming. We pointed out that the contract included the hours being kitted out, and thus missing half a day filming shouldn't drop more than a quarter of the fee, a third at most. Having had our (quite reasonable) response turned down we came up with a plan.
We told the extras who were staying to do more filming. They agreed to walk out with us. After half an hour of frantic faffing around the production manager came by to apologise and on behalf of Mr Gilliam agreed to pay us all the originally agreed fee in full, and a bonus of fifty quid each for those who stayed longer.
Hopefully taught him a lesson. It's no good trying to save a few hundred quid by underpaying the extras when they know perfectly well that you have three Hollywood stars on set along with a complete crew, who cost many times that per hour.

I don't go to the cinema much, personally, so have never walked out of a film.
I prefer to wait until the DVD comes out, as then I can smoke, have a whiskey, eat junk food loudly if I feel like it, fidget in my seat without being told off by the pratt sitting behind me, go and have a wizz or answer the phone if need be and so on. I'm also spared the irritation of other viewers feeling the need to do the same or, and this is much worse, unleash a fart that shakes the foundations of the entire building while simultaneously setting off the nearest chemical weapons alarm. And they usually do this during the most important scene in the film, for some reason that still escapes me.
I'm also spared the ignorant twunts who, despite the entire big screen being taken up, before the film, with a short advert saying 'Please Turn OFF Your Mobile Phones', still insist on keeping theirs ON and, not only ruining important scenes by having the fucking Cheeky Girls 'Touch My Bum' blast out unexpectedly during the denouement (public execution would be far too kind, IMHO) then proceed to, instead of going outside the cinema, have a long (and unnecessarily loud) conversation ABOUT NOTHING IN PARTICULAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Call me anti-social if you will, but I find the cinema as a social experience to be deeply over-rated.

i walked out of pirates of the carribean 3 after about 20 minutes
it wasn't incredibly bad, i usually just get some kip if the film is really bad, i was just meant to meet some friends and go, i arrived late and missed them but went in anyway then walked out cos it looked like bollocks and i was in a bad mood that i'd missed my friends

yeah, I watched it on the tellybox. all in all, it's a reasonably entertaining biopic
[/damned with faint praise]
Never walked out myself.
Had to leave Sleepy Hollow once on a date with a girl who was VERY easily scared. Needless to say that relationship did not last very long after that point.

dignity is overrated
Me and my friend walked out of 'The Lakehouse' starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock who fall in love across time periods, like one of them is in the future and one of them, well, isn't.
It really was mental bad, I was quite enjoying laughing at how shit it was tbh but my friend couldn't handle it anymore.

It was so boring, I went of to play the fruit machines while I waited for my mates.
Also had to leave Borat. Not because it was shit, but due to a row of yoots in the front laughing over loudly at everything and shouting things like "That is so dark man" at the screen. At least Bruno is an 18.
