Movies You've Walked Out Of! It's your turn...

[serious crayons]

I really wanted to see Rescue Dawn. Especially because on the day I wanted to see it, I took my 11-year-old son on a hike through a state park and he complained the whole time. So I kept threatening to take him to RD so he could see what a really grueling hike would be like. Unfortunately, the timing was wrong, so instead we went to Bourne, which we both liked. Now I'll have to wait for Rescue Dawn in DVD.

It's funny, reading through the list of movies people walked out of, I agree that some were terrible -- and some I wouldn't go see in the first place -- but some of them I actually liked!

I'll endure almost any movie, so the only one I can remember walking out on was Bob Dylan's Renaldo and Clara. I love Bob Dylan but that was the most boring thing I ever sat through half of.

I went to see the movie Ultraviolet back when BBM was still playing.... I didn't quite walk out but a ton of people did. I found the movie to be one of the most poorly made, underplayed things I've seen in a while, and for some reason extremely hilarious.... I laughed myself silly... people were looking at me oddly.

I can honestly say I have never walked out of a film, but I felt like it. Nothing recently, however. I am quite particular about what I see. My family calls me a film snob. Oh well! What can I say? C'est la vie!

DIANE!!!!


How have you been doing, fellow Hoosier?

I've missed you!!! 

[Brown Eyes]

I've missed you too Diane!  Awesome to see you back on the boards!

I think she meant she thought she was seeing 3:10 to Yuma, but it turned out to be September Dawn, which turned out to be strange, confused, and unpleasant? 

You are correct, sir!  On all counts.

Great to see you, Diane! And you, too, Barb!!

Diane! We've missed you. It's great to see you here. Welcome back  .

And Barb, our paths haven't crossed on the board for a while, so I second what Katherine said: it's good to see you too  .

As a public service, I'll tell you, from the reviews I have been reading, Balls of Fury may be walk-worthy. This is from Pajiba (www.pajiba.com):

Can Balls of Fury really be that bad? Ummm … yeah. Actually, maybe a little worse. I mean, when a film fails to elicit a single laugh from an entire audience of 12-year-olds, you know you’re more off base than a philandering army wife with a bad case of the black snake moan. Balls of Fury was terrible; an inept script executed with all the skill of a drunken firing squad aiming shotguns with all the propulsive power of a wet fart. You may not die watching Balls of Fury, but you’ll wish you had.

Barb, you've been warned! Don't wander into this one by accident!

I asked my daughter and she said, "More old fashioned musicals, where people spontaneously sing and dance. And maybe we should spontaneously sing and dance in real life, too."

Resurrecting an old post, but I really like that idea.

And no one laughs at us if we sing bad, or even better: we all can sing beautifully!
