@OP: Body Heat. The movie both made no sense and bored the shit out of me, Kathleen Turner's many nude scenes notwithstanding.

I'm probably going to hell for this but I walked out of Where The Wild Things Are. I love Citizen Kane and Seven Samurai so I don't know why that movie bored me so much. I probably need to watch it by myself instead of with friends who were even more bored than I was in the cinema.

The extended version of Return of the King. I always walk out around the 17th ending.

[up][up] I also would've walked out of Where The Wild Things Are, but I thought the cinematography was pretty so I stayed. The story could've used some oomph though.

[up] I never understood this sentiment. I thought the number of "endings" was needed to adequately wrap up the storylines in a satisfying manner. In fact, I'd say the compression of the last twenty minutes was one of the best-adapted parts of those films. (And really, there are only three endings: destruction of the ring, the coronation, and the Grey Havens.)

[up] If you are referring to the jumping on the bed when you say comedic exaggeration ... I now completely understand.

I meant my count of how many endings there are. Although the Wizard of Oz ending was silly.

I remember seeing Where The Wild Things Are in the theatre. Five people total and two walked out halfway through. It seems to be a Love It or Hate It movie.

Here's where I get flamed, but this is 100% truth.

Lord Of The Rings. IT WAS BORING. :( The only movie I actually fell asleep in the middle of. Last thing I remember is that the ginger died and everyone else was dead but they were all happy or something.

Don't judge me. :(

I was so super excited to see the The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skulls in theaters, so I got mega-drunk, snuck alcohol in with me to the show, hated almost every minute of it, left to go run around a Dave and Busters to burn off some of my manic alcoholic energy.

[up]Crowning moment of awesome? Kingdom of the Crystal Skull isn't as bad as Trey Parker and Matt Stone would have you believe, but to each their own I suppose.

^^ I think Matt and Trey were only sort of showing how bad that movie was, they were also showing how bad the haters were. It should not have actually raped your child hood, they were purposefully exaggerating that.

Another one I just couldn't finish, Capote it needed some sort of plot and the main character was very witty, clever, and a huge Jerkass so much that it was like Twenty Minutes with Jerks but the jerk never went away. Looking back I probably should have given this one more of a chance, but oh well.

I have a pet peeve about people leaving in the middle of a movie. It's just annoying to me, somehow. Even if it's horrible, I stay in the theatre the whole way through.

Any movie riffed on in Mystery Science Theater 3000. Two reasons: I prefer to snark over a bad movie myself, and then only when I'm watching with someone and have an audience; plus, the 'choices' were really,really bad.

Thank goodness for clips which condense the best bits.

Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

We popped out Cats after seeing the first performance of Memory because the rest of it was pointless and made almost no fucking sense.

We should have popped out that blatant bible belt film Left Behind, but we watched the whole thing to the end. Really, the best part were the shots of Jerusalem.

We popped out the film Sex And The City for being dull and having a horrendous sense of humor.

We should have walked out on The Last Airbender, but we stayed for the whole thing regardless.

The only film rental choice my SO made that both of us totally, completely regretted was some low-budget monstrosity called Gabriel. We got through about seven minutes of it before giving up. It resembled a video game cut scene, but with worse acting.
