I can see why people would leave Cast Away. I personally absolutely love that movie but it's hard to watch if you're impatient or squeamish.

It's not like I'm overly impatient, I'm a bit older than the people say nothing happens in the Godfather, but it was a slog.

I've got a special place in my heart for Spice World. The VHS tape wasn't the usual black color it was a lime green color. My little sisters watched it repeatedly.

Antman and the Wasp : Quantumania

Probably could have pushed through on the TV, but on the big screen it was an embarrassment. There was so little care taken in the CGI (noted that this was a COVID film)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I'm with you on that one, absolute garbage.

There was a movie I saw with my gf at the time, I want to say it was Alexander (2004) but I think it was something else. Alexander was pretty bad. The theater was empty so instead of leaving she gave me a handy, so not all was lost.

It might have been The New World (2005).

Edit: it was The New World. Also I came into a Panda Express bag, not 100% sure why we had it or how we got it in. I guess we finished up our lunch in the theater. Wanted to elaborate so nobody thought I just came on the back of the seat in front of me or something. I'm not a barbarian.

Theatre handy j's are a special treat not everyone gets to sample in life.

I saw the South Park Bigger, Longer, and Uncut movie in theaters as a kid. I lived in a small town adjacent to a small city, and there weren't many other people in the theater. During the scene where the boys are watching the Terrace and Phillip movie and the theater-goers walk out, so did everyone else in our real life theater. It was surreal. We had a great time watching the rest of the movie by ourselves.

I can't imagine not loving every second of that movie. I still sing Uncle Fucker to myself.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

Around the time the movie was released I worked over nights stocking at a Toys R Us. As soon as the store closed I would connect my discman to the PA system and we would listen to music all night. One day we were working later than usual because of Christmas, no one told us the store had actually opened and Uncle Fucker was playing over the PA.

Honey with Jessica alba. Like 6 of us walked out and got our money back

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As in love as I was with Jessica Alba as a teen, I never actually saw that movie because I heard it was awful.

For my parents, their walk out because it was terrible movie was Pulp Fiction

...Yeah I don't listen to them for movie recommendations

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

To be fair if they went into it not knowing how graphic Quentin Tarantino movies usually are, then I can see why they'd leave. It's got literal rape and sodomy in it.

How has nobody mentioned the live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender movie? I saw it as a kid and even I wanted to leave.

This is an oldie, Raising Arizona. I was a kid that didn't know better and was easily entertained, people were getting up to leave and even my mother wanted to, poor lady had to SUFFER thru it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've never heard bad things about it, but I've also never seen it. This thread is giving me a small list of stuff to check out to see if it's truly bad or not.

What? Raising Arizona is a classic, and was even generally well liked at the time
