I have been to some that I seriously wanted to walk out of. I hate movies
with a lot of violence in them. Or those that have no plot and are nothing
but special effects. Only reason I did not was that I went with other
people who seemed to like them. I do remember my parents walking us out of
something when I was a kid. I want to say that it was a Jackie Gleason
movie but not sure. I just remember in the beginning of it, they showed
what appeared to be naked bodies with colorful paint on them. I couldn't
see what the problem was because body painting was pretty common during that
time period but my mom threw her hands over our eyes and marched us out. I
do remember that it was a double feature. Whatever the first movie was, had
been okay.

My husband and I did walk out of The Crow. I think that was the name. Fine
by me because I wouldn't have liked it. But the reason why did not make me
happy. Some guy behind us kept talking. Although I could hear him, it
didn't really bother me. What did bother me was my husband continually
telling the guy to shut up and not being nice about it. Then others telling
my husband to shut up. I kept looking around like... Where are the ushers?
In the old days they were always in the theater. Not any more. This was a
packed theater. My husband got so ticked off because we had missed perhaps
10-15 minutes of the show that we did walk out. However, our money was
refunded after he spoke with the manager.

I just don't see how people can sit through bad movies but I sure know a lot
of them who do.
