Film Have you ever walked out of a cinema or theatre showing in protest/disgust?

Nah. You leave at the halfway break. Easy.
I’ve never walked out of a film but, as you say, it’s easier at the theatre. I walked out at the interval of a play called “The Motive and the Cue” in London in January this year. It was like listening to a Coogan/Brydon Richard Burton impression for an hour while Mark Gatiss quoted Hamlet while playing John Gielgud. A play about a play is perhaps asking for luvvie mannerisms.
 
I was a hairs breadth from walking out of Asteroid City, decided to just knock back a few whiskeys and power through.

Awful experience (pre whiskey).

Bizarre film. I remember walking out the cinema at the end and thinking “WTF did I just watch?” I’m still not sure now.

You folks went to a Wes Anderson movie expecting anything more than pastel colours and whimsy?

:lol:

Pretty much the only thing I knew about the film before I saw it was that Tom Hanks is in it. That’s usually a good sign, but not in this case.

Never got to finish the movie while watching at home. I take it that I need not be returning to where I left off.
 
My grandfather went to see The Battle of the Bulge when it first came out along with some of his mates, all of whom had actually fought there. Halfway through they all walked out describing it as a load of bollocks.
