What movies have you walked out on? - Page 2

Sun Tzu · 07-12-2010, 12:59 PM

Funny...the majority of the guys I know in the army (and the marines come to think of it) rank SPR as one of their top 3 favorite movies. Right up there with...

Blackhawk Down

It's a funny thing, what makes people want to enlist.

As far as whether I wanted to enlist...I assure you nothing on this earth would ever convince me to join an organization whose sole purpose is to kill.

johnnyshaka · 07-12-2010, 01:13 PM

Favorite movies and reasons for joining the military are two very, very different things. Band of Brothers, SPR, Blackhawk Down, etc...are all on my "watch them whenever they are one" list but that doesn't mean I want to run out and enlist...they are great movies.

If those movies were indeed their motivation...yikes...then I guess it does take all kinds to make the world go 'round...good on them for doing it, regardless.

My dad was in the military but refuses to watch any of those movies because he says he already knows what being in the military is about...he doesn't need Hollywood to tell him what they "think" it's like.

ISiddiqui · 07-12-2010, 01:13 PM

I haven't walked out on a movie in a theater (if I've paid $8-10 for it, I'm damn well going to enjoy the massive screen and sound at least).

I also enjoyed The Thin Red Line, but yes, it's more of a philosophical view on war rather than your traditional war movie. But that expectation will make some people hate it.

Oh, and I really like Vicky Christina Barcelona, but I'm a Woody Allen fan, so...

Maybe if they set it up to show 150 different waves of infantry getting mowed down...then it would make people shy away from war.

The only drama in the movie is when the hell are they going to find him. It is an action movie though for sure. The one character I couldn't stand was the Colonel or Major (can't remember his rank) that is in just about any WWII movie these days and is always a military adviser to the movie he's in. As for the length of that scene, you have to compress time or the whole movie would have to be called, "We Didn't Know About Having to Save Private Ryan Because We Never Got Off the Beach".

I do have to respectfully disagree with you on opening scene at Normandy. I think it showed the brutality of that campaign and that the people that did make it were not only surprised that they made it, but, felt extremely lucky that they weren't one of the dead on the beach. Tom Sizemore's character being an example of that when he scooped up the dirt and put it in a jar/can and Tom Hanks' character with his hands that won't stop shaking. I'll have to watch it again, but, I just don't recall too much rah-rah or gung ho-ness to it like you would see in a John Wayne movie.

I enlisted because I wanted to get a hold of some of that Arcturian poon tang.

Well...more than one of them have specifically told me they were all-the more motivated to join because of those movies.

My grandfather was drafted into the Navy during WWII, and as a Jew nonetheless. It effectively ended his bid to become a professional baseball player (he had very recently signed a minor league deal with the Reds) as a pitcher. He wasn't big on war movies either.

You know what, now that I've looked it up on IMDB, it can't be the movie. I seemed to some how attach that movie title to whatever movie I'm confusing it with. The movie I saw had to come out in late 1990 or early 1991 and A River Runs Through It came out in 1992. All I remember is the first 10 minutes of two dudes running through the woods, with nothing or no one chasing them. I left, so I don't know what happened after that.

SteveMax58 · 07-12-2010, 01:31 PM

I havent ever walked out on a movie. Probably because I have never made movie theaters a regular occurrence.

The closest I got was when I went to watch "No Holds Barred" as a kid. Being a huge wrestling fan at the time, it probably wouldnt have taken much for me to enjoy it...that said, that movie was a botched abortion.

Any thought that militarism doesn't exist for the purpose of killing is stemmed in some serious brainwashing.

Could it be A River Wild, with Kevin Bacon Meryl Streep? I've gotten the titles of these movies confused before.

I will look that up. Really just depends on what year and part of that year it was released.

EDIT: Nope. Just looked it up. That came out in 94. The movie I'm thinking of had to come out the last half of 90 or early 91.

45 minutes into Highlander II I came to the startling realization that there was no reason whatsoever that I had to waste one more minute of my life watching that absolute garbage. Even though I'd seen some stinkers before, none had ever been so bad that walking out had even occurred to me.

You chose wisely.

"Highlander II" remains the worst movie I have ever seen in a theater.

Never walked out on a movie, but the worst I've seen in a theater is Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.

I'm going to guess that you're referring to Dale Dye.

I've never been much on his acting but enjoyed his early writing like Run Between the Raindrops, which is what the second half of Full Metal Jacket should have been.

I have never really walked out of a movie....

I had a smoke break in the middle of Titanic (I never do that). I ended up spending 30 minutes outside playing with my palm pilot.

I fell asleep during The Dark Knight, but that was mainly because I had not slept in 30 hours. It was a mistake going to see it. My dad was in town and that is what he wanted to do. The ironic thing is that The Dark Knight is now one of my favorite movies.

Yup, that's the man. Waaay too stiff of an actor and he only has one tone and volume to his voice. Now R. Lee Ermey, he can act.

remper · 07-13-2010, 10:49 AM

Only once. I walked out of "Beverly Hills Ninja", one of Farley's last movies. I think we decided to after the fifth joke consisting of Farley walking and hitting his head on an object. That was about 30 minutes in if I recall.

At least with dramas or action movies that are bad you can make fun of them and be entertained. With a bad comedy its just painful to sit through. "Year One" I made it through, but that was bordering on painful too.

I got dragged to the 3rd LOTR movie. That goddamn thing just wouldn't end. I would have walked out early from that one too, but I was with some friends who were big fans of the series.

DaddyTorgo · 07-13-2010, 10:53 AM

I walked out of one movie one time, but I can't for the life of me recall what it was. But it wasn't because of the movie, it was because I went to take my mind off some personal drama, and then couldn't get my mind off of it and just got really irritated and didn't want to be trapped there thinking about it.

Kevin · 07-13-2010, 11:08 AM

I don't go out to the movies much, but have wanted to leave several, but only left for a walk around while the missus watched them. Fell asleep in one of the Batman movies and was pissed the sound was so loud it kept waking me up. I typically only finish half of the rented movies the missus brings home. A book is a hundred times better. I have seen a car chase before, no need to see several hundred more. Ditto for gunfights. If I wanted to see gunfights, I'd buy a gaming console and twitch my thumbs at it for an hour before falling asleep. I am convinced there are only seven scripts left in Hollywood that are recycled with different actors, special effects and accents.

Not that I'm crotchedy and opinionated or anything.

Kevin,

I think what everybody is saying here is...

In regards to your sleeping, you're not normal...you're, you know...different. Have you ever considered Red Bull?

Honolulu_Blue · 07-13-2010, 12:06 PM

I think we need to back off of Kevin's sleeping situation. Perhaps it's just the cool, darkness of the movie theater that makes him sleepy. It's like some sort of trigger or something.

Same thing happens to me sometimes. Odds are that if I go into some big bookstore like a "Barnes 'n Noble" or a "Borders", I'm going to have to take a dump before I leave. It's odd, but for whatever reason that's how it goes.

These things happen. People are susceptible to certain triggers sometimes. It's no me, it's science talking.

Izulde · 07-13-2010, 12:36 PM

I don't remember the name of it now, but there was a movie some years ago I went to see that I thought looked really interesting. And it wound up being so tedious, so slow, and so boring, I walked out for about 20 minutes and only went back in so Mom and Dad wouldn't worry that something happened to me.

They were stunned, because I'd never walked out on a movie before and I haven't since.

The only details of the movie I can recall are that there was this teenage kid and his parents were divorced. He went back and forth between them and everybody seemed to hate each other. I seem to remember a scene where he was eating with his mom in a restaurant that looked pretty empty.

Back in high school I paid money and sat through all of Camp Nowhere staring Christopher Lloyd. If I can make it through that I can never walk out of a movie.

I should have known the movie was bad when the girl working the ticket booth looked at me and my friends and asked us if we were serious when we said we wanted to buy tickets for it.

I have however rented plenty of movies and stopped watching them The Thin Red Line being one.

The Dungeonmaster has shown up on my cable twice in the last 6 months....and I watched it both times. And it was TERRIBLE, except for the part with W.A.S.P.

Also, the title 'Dungeonmaster' may imply that there is some medieval-themed action to be had in this flick, but there isn't.

Perhaps it's just the cool, darkness of the movie theater that makes him sleepy. It's like some sort of trigger or something. Same thing happens to me sometimes. Odds are that if I go into some big bookstore like a "Barnes 'n Noble" or a "Borders", I'm going to have to take a dump before I leave. It's odd, but for whatever reason that's how it goes. These things happen. People are susceptible to certain triggers sometimes. It's no me, it's science talking. __________________ *Steve Yzerman*: 1,755 points in 1,514 regular season games. 185 points in 196 postseason games.

And it wound up being so tedious, so slow, and so boring, I walked out for about 20 minutes and only went back in so Mom and Dad wouldn't worry that something happened to me. They were stunned, because I'd never walked out on a movie before and I haven't since. The only details of the movie I can recall are that there was this teenage kid and his parents were divorced. He went back and forth between them and everybody seemed to hate each other. I seem to remember a scene where he was eating with his mom in a restaurant that looked pretty empty. __________________ 2006 Golden Scribe Nominee 2006 Golden Scribe Winner Best Non-Sport Dynasty: May Our Reign Be Green and Golden (CK Dynasty) Rookie Writer of the Year Dynasty of the Year: May Our Reign Be Green and Golden (CK Dynasty)

If I can make it through that I can never walk out of a movie. I should have known the movie was bad when the girl working the ticket booth looked at me and my friends and asked us if we were serious when we said we wanted to buy tickets for it. I have however rented plenty of movies and stopped watching them The Thin Red Line being one. __________________ Bearcat729 on XBox Live and PSN
