Last Movie You Saw, Name & Review Movie • Page 56

I've seen plenty of people walk out of movies. It's interesting seeing which part they walk out during.

 

Most of the walkouts I see are people who accidentally were lured in by the names of the actors or promotional materials. The Master and Spring Breakers are two films that I saw a lot of people walk out on.

 

I had a woman walk out of Birdman and she was like, "this movie is absolutely disgusting I cannot believe how much foul language there is, who authorizes this to be here?" And I was just like, "uhhhh, the MPAA, that's why there are ratings, to warn people about the content of the film." And she like, did not understand at all. I don't know how someone can go into a rated R film and have no idea what to expect

 

Someone who doesn't watch a lot of movies.

 

With The Master, the scene where Freddy imagines the naked women dancing caused a middle aged women to leave and make her husband leave with her. In Spring Breakers, a dad brought his teenage daughters to an R-rated movie based on those Disney actresses and stormed out in the first two minutes. A couple minutes of research could have saved them.

 

Dude this exact same thing happened at my theater with Spring Breakers!!! Literally the exact same thing. 1 dad, 2 little girls, ran out in shock.

 

Reminds me of how I read of people buying GTA for their little ones and have no idea. I know I'd be a fish out of water in some other situations, but come on, the rating's on the damn box, or movie poster, or whatever. It's one thing to be ignorant of a medium, which is completely understandable/forgivable, it's another when information such as ratings is right there.

I guess I'm more perplexed than angry, though.

 

Yeah I'd walk out without a refund. I don't get that argument. My time is valuable. I get paid for it on weekdays.

 

I had to turn off Perks of Being a WallFlower midway. For Milkshakes reference i think it was when emma watson was out the sun roof of a car, I thought to myself "i dont care for teenagers" and left the room to make a sandwich.

Ive also fallen asleep twice during Tom Hank vs the albino, It was just on TV both times and both times i fell asleep near the blue prison escape scene in the rubble?

 

TMNT: Out of the Shadows isn't nearly as bad as people make it seem

 

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a solid candidate for walking out/turning off. It is painful in its entirety.

 

I forgot about that Wallflower movie. That's a bad one.

 

If I wasnt at the theater with someone I would've walked out of Ted.

 

early in to Law Abiding Citizen i wanted to leave but im very glad i stayed

 

yeah that movie is so bad it almost goes back to being good in its absurdity

I mean how is this real

 

When I was younger, my dad and I went to a few different movies that we walked out of.

Phantom Menace was one. The Prince of Egypt was another. We also saw War of the Worlds and I was really freaked out by it, so we left about halfway through.

 

The Monster

Not really sure how I felt about this one. The drama aspect was done very well, with the mother/daughter relationship being very believable. Especially considering how young the mother was, at least how young she looked. When the actual monster showed up, all I could think about was the Terror Dog from the original Ghostbusters. While it was awesome that the monster was all practical, it felt a bit too comical for how serious the rest of the film was.

I don't want to spoil anything, but there have been arguments similar to The Babadook regarding the monster and a traumatic relationship. If you know what I'm talking about, you might be spoiled.

 

Only one I remember walking out of with my dad was Apollo 13. We went to NASA and they had it playing but I was bored, so we left.

 

The last movie I watched was Last Tango in Paris with a friend of mine a couple days ago. I can't believe I watched that movie at 17 or 18 and was so blown away by it, realizing now how little I understood it. Even now there's a lot I'm still thinking about and piecing together. It's one of the most fascinating films I've ever seen.

 

Nerdland

4/10

Watched this because the cast is LOADED with comedians/actors I love, but it was not very good.

 

I would have walked out of Spy but I was with someone who was enjoying it. I don't think I even cracked a smile during that movie. Thankfully, I work at a theater so it was free.....I guess?

 

Nocturnal Animals

I was pretty blown away going into this. I never watched a trailer, but I did see Jake on Conan, I think, showing a clip of the highway scene. That, and the Michael Shannon factor, I knew I was going to dig it.

One question - Was Armie Hammer's character really supposed to have been around 20 years prior? He and Amy Adams have a conversation where they talk about 20 years ago when she first met Jake. Was I wrong on this? I mean, he could have come around 18 years after Amy and Jake met, but they make it seem as if he's as old as everyone else...though he's a good 20 years younger than Amy. A little complaint, but confusing still.

That aside, are there any other examples of someone completely outside of the film industry coming in and making such a large impact with their debut? I'm talking about writer/director Tom Ford, who is a fashion designer.

 

Tom Ford's film debut was A Single Man.

A Single Man (2009) - IMDb

 

Wow, really? Holy shit I was wrong.

 

is Nocturnal Animals really that good?
