LOL. The first "Rocky" is one of my favorite movies! Maybe it was the time and juncture in my life when I saw it.  There is no accounting for taste, huh?

Absolutely!

(Now, when I get run out of Philadelphia on a rail for admitting that, can I come live you and Grady?  :laugh: )

Can you cook?  can you clean?  Does puppy poop bother you?

The only time I ever willfully left a film in progress, meaning to quit watching it, was when I was a child, and asked my mother beforehand to leave Fantasia at the moment when the "Night on Bald Mountain" sequence started. I had seen Fantasia multiple times before, but dreaded becoming scared or upset during this part of the movie. My mother agreed, so off my mom, my sister and I went when this part of the film came on.

My mother took me out of The Tomato That Ate Cleveland when my father took the whole family to see that one (needless to say, I was a child here as well). There was a suggestive nude scene that came on that my mother felt was inappropriate for eyes as young as mine.

Another movie that I endured--endured is the operative word here, I would have left but someone else was driving--was "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." This stupid movie was nominated for a bunch of Oscars and even won one. Ugh.

Scott, you mentioned Woody Allen -- I have always hated "Annie Hall." I hated it in the theater and tried to sit through it again not too long ago...without success.

This is not a real shock: True Lies.  Stupid piece of crap!

I was dating this big galoot who wanted to see it.  He was definitely the dominant one in the relationship, except for the moment I took his hand and said, "we're fucking leaving!"

I think Woody Allen is droll, but I think he tends to be overrated. My favorite film of his of those I've seen is Sweet and Lowdown, which perhaps significantly doesn't star him (he appears as a talking head in the mockumentary part of the film).

The remake of Planet of the Apes, I assume? The 1968 original is campy fun, in my opinion; the remake is a film I have yet to see (and probably never will), but a good friend of mine distinctly disliked it.

When I went to the endodontic specialist earlier this month and was being prepped for a root canal, Gladiator was the film they started to show me as a distraction! As I fled the premises due to a panic attack from a bad reaction to the anaesthetic, with less than fifteen minutes of the film having been seen by me, I guess you could say I walked out of this one as well.

Pretty good with a can opener--and a microwave. Pretty good with a Swiffer. Depends. ...  :laugh:

Sure isn't.  :D

We'll leave you home when we go to visit Devil's Tower next June.  ;D
