    Yeah, it's supposed to be good. But I haven't met one person so far that really liked it.

      I've left cinemas a few times. It takes me about five minutes to work up the courage, but it is so liberating to be free from what could have been a further hour of mind numbing cliche ridden tedium. I now don't go to the movies - save money that way.

      I once had a completionist ethic - and grimly finished every book, game, show and film I started, but since I'm not immortal, I've realised I don't have time to waste on crap. Brain pollution.

        Would you shut it off or endure it to the end?

        Ever walk out of a movie in the theatre? I'm too cheap...
        I'll change channels, yank the movie, walk out of the theater. Life is way too short to spend any of it miserable.

              The worst movie I ever sat through was Nothing But Trouble. I kept watching, thinking, "It has to get better. Chevy Chase and Dan Akroyd won't let me down." It didn't. They did.

                LOL they've had lots of bad films. Bout the only thing I like Chevy Chase in is the first few National Lampoon films. That was the role he was born into.

                  Exactly what I was expecting, and they didn't deliver.

                    On TV - I'd change the channel as soon as I knew I didn't like it

                    Rental - I might give it a little longer than a free program, but I wouldn't finish watching a bad movie.

                    Theater - If I was by myself, I would walk out. But if I'm with somebody else who wants to watch it, I would take the opportunity to get a little sleep until the movie ends.

                      On TV - read a book

                      Rental - turn it off and let Josie play with the DVD... in her sandbox

                      Theater - keep watching and make fun of the events in the film, loudly, and with much laughter



                      When I was in college a few friends and I went to see a double feature of The Island of Dr. Maroe (SP?) and The Crow 2... we had an awesome time, and only because both movies sucked.
