Movies I've Walked Out Of

Rarely do I not finish a movie. As proof: I finished Cloud Atlas and Movie 43. Sometimes I'll stick with one just so I can enumerate all the ways it sucks. But some aren't even worth that joy.

 

IN-THEATER
So bad that I literally, physically, walked out.

My Boyfriend's Back
IMDb says that Philip Seymour Hoffman and Matthew McConaughey both had small parts in this. But even if I had known, I doubt I'd have stayed to see them.

 

 

The Butterfly Effect
"There are moments in life we choose to remember. And some memories we can never forget." Sadly for me, the first 25 minutes of this film fall into the latter.

 
 

ON-DEMAND OR VHS/DVD
With China's black market, you can get high-quality DVDs of movies before they're even released for about two bucks. During our four years behind the Great Firewall of China, it was the most dependable way to see anything. While I watched a LOT of movies there, these are a few I couldn't finish. (And I got through Cloud Atlas.)

What If

Cosmopolis

Battleship

Bucky Larson: Born To Be A Star

After Earth

One Day

Labor Day

Sex And The City 2

Salinger

SUPPOSEDLY GREAT MOVIES THAT I'LL NEVER EVEN START AGAIN

Titanic
