Even so, I was never tempted to walk out. In contrast to the one I walked out of, at least something was happening on the screen. People were walking and talking and stuff. At home, I tend to be pretty impatient these days with on-demand movies. If they don't keep me engaged, I'll give up on them pretty quickly. I also get distracted easily at home, which makes the movie's job harder. So that's a different animal. At the theater, I've never given up until this week. But I can think of a few movies where I was impatiently waiting for it to end so I could go do something interesting. Off the top of my head, I can think of ...
I'm sure there are others, but these pop out in my mind as near-walkouts. Every one of them was 500 times better than what I saw last week, though.

I had a similar experience with War of the Roses. I knew nothing about it except the main cast, all of whom had starred in Romancing the Stone, so I thought it was a sequel to that movie. Took my fairly new girlfriend to see it. What an absolutely polarizing movie. All the guys were in Douglas's camp; all the women were rooting for Turner. The tension and growing anger in the theater were palpable. We got in our first real fight later that night (the first of many as it turned out - what a bitch she ended up being, but I digress).
Worst date movie ever! |

That movie was awful. Only movie I've walked out of due to boredom.

I'm pretty sure you're just trolling about 70% of the time.

What on earth are you talking about? Every single Star Wars film has featured a white man as the villain. Star Wars has plenty of woke garbage as of late, but I've never heard anyone complain about Rogue One. Weird.

Then you haven't seen Asteroid City. It is utter trash, and my wife and I lasted about 25 or 30 minutes. Horrible film. Abomination, really.

I've walked out of every movie I've ever been to. When the credits start rolling. I ain't in no wheelchair.

That a beautiful movie visually. I got distracted about halfway through and lost track of what was happening, so the movie pretty much finished up in the background of my vision. I've been wanting to go back and actually pay attention. So I guess I can't agree or disagree other than to say that the cinematography is nice.

From what I recall like every bad guy on a ship was old and white. All the good guys were minority except maybe 1... I don't remember exactly.

The color of the good guy did. Why that bothers you is up to you to figure out.

Wasn't the good guy a woman? Again it's been 10 years or so maybe. I don't recall, just remember I thought it was bullshit to portray the generation that gave so much for this country in that manner and left. I don't recall all the details.
