Well, I sat through Waterworld so I thought I could handle anything but The Postman was just too boring. It sounded like a great movie, it sounded like it would be entertaining. I usually love David Brin stories but it was so slow, ponderously slow, and Kevin, dear Kevin completely ruined it.....it was Kevin Costner playing a role, not the character come to life. Sigh. Really was a pretty terrible movie....

The movie hits too close to home sometimes.

M$Two of the worst movies I have sat through were "Boogeyman" and "Funny Games". I actually had some kind of hope for both of them but they were just terrible. Normally I will sit through all kinds of bad acting and stupid jokes but these two movies made me optimistic at the prospect of the possibly of spending time in exciting places like the dmv.

''Mulholland Drive'' is brilliant. And I'm not sure you and I agree about what Lynch meant when he said the film had "no point." To my mind, the idea is that, rather than focusing on the narrative or getting a "message" from the movie (although it certainly has both of these things), you should treat it more as an experience. The same applies for other Lynch films, particularly ''Inland Empire''. Just because the majority of filmmakers use the medium to tell linear, narrative "stories" doesn't mean everyone has to toe that line.
Lynch is just after something a bit different, more visceral and raw and immediate and less predictable. I'd recommend watching the film again, or checking out some other Lynch films (like ''Blue Velvet'' or ''Lost Highway'') and opening yourself up to just take the movies in on their own terms without trying to impose typical expectations on to them that you have built up from years of seeing mainly traditional Hollywood films.

M$Anyway, the only movie I am 100% certain I definitely walked out of before it was over was ''The Jerky Boys''. Which was hugely disappointing, as I was overall a huge fan of their work at the time. (And, let's face it, I still am.)
I'm also fairly certain I walked out of ''Envy'', that clunker with Jack Black and Ben Stiller, but I may have waited it out instead. I don't quite remember. Either way...blurgh...

But it was only because I had to go catch a plane.. I can't remember exactly what happened but I think I might've realised the film was a lot longer that I'd thought and/or the airport I was flying out of was too far away to risk staying til the end. I vaguely remember that I might've not realised until late in the day that the airport I'd be flying out of (international) was not the one I had flown into (domestic) and was much further away.
I may have walked out of other movies, but I can't remember.

Movies I should have walked out on:
Clash of the Titans (2010), this was an absolute abomination to the 1981 classic, it had about as much depth as a movie trailer, and the plot changes were juvenile.
Legion (2009)... This movie was so full of fail, I don't even know where to start. Both Legion and Clash had potential to be Epic-scale movies, and they just didn't come to the table with everything. Sad days.
GI Joe... my inner-child died in the theater, and I would have walked, had I not been left in a coma from being slaughtered via my eyeballs and my brain becoming jello as a result of what was on the screen.
2012, was also atrocious, and I might as well mention Australia in this mess too.

I didn't walk out because I was with friends ... but I also hated that movie.
I walked out on John Wayne's The Green Berets in '68. Just becoming aware of the antiwar sentiments in the country and the grandstanding of Wayne's dreadful movie. I should have walked out on John Travolta's Battlefield Earth. I had a comp to it, and should have walked out. I still feel they owe me those 2 hours in my life.
Couldn't take it anymore -- and I almost NEVER walk out of movies.

Sadly, I didn't realize that was in theaters.
''The Postman'' is truly atrocious. I rented it back in college and watched it with my roommates in shock and amazement that any film could be so simultaneously ridiculous and sanctimonious. If I had paid for it in a theater, I almost certainly would have walked out too.
