Ive pulled the plug on plenty of films. The logic is this: Even if they have a better second half or start to get good, Id never sit through it again and am probably already torked off due to wastimg my time so its a no go deal.

Life is too short to "stick it out" and wait until the end. If the first half hour sucks then Im DONE. No reason to hang around.

What do you think of Drive?

No nothing with the film directly,the only time I have walked out of a cinema was due to rowdy teenagers.
I was close years ago watching Volcano,I thought it was that bad but we went to a late showing after the pub and I decided just to go for a doze instead(I don't think I missed much)

The only thing that has ever made me stop watching a movie is if the plot of the film is about religion or has religious tones. An example being Kingdom of Heaven. I also don't like it when characters talk about religion, but I can handle that. It's just too idiotic for me.

"Last Temptation of Christ"? It doesn't get much more religious than that, but I found the movie to be extremely moving. Certainly in a way that made the Catholic church uncomfortable.

I don't know, I can honestly say that I have no interest in that movie. I doubt I'd like it. Just out of curiosity though, what do you mean that it made the Catholic Church uncomfortable?

It's a movie that examines Christ as a man, with human frailties and weaknesses. Didn't portray him as a "God-like" figure. It showed his life as a regular man who had "deity" thrust upon him, and his struggles with living up to it. I found it incredible, especially because Willem DaFoe was so strong as Christ. And the Church especially had problems with the fact that it showed Christ have "relations" with a woman.

That actually sounds like it would be good. I might have to check it out sometime, thanks for the recommendation!

You may have found The Last Temptation of Christ "incredible", but I found it to be disgusting! The movie was blasphemous against God, and lies from the bowls of Hell.

Torture porn. Made the mistake of seeing the first "Hostel" in theaters because of the Tarantino name attached to it. I have no problem with violence, even over the top or stylized violence. But it has to have SOMETHING to do with advancing the story. That kind of violence just for the sake of shocking me, I have no time for.

I used to feel the same way about Tyler Perry until last night.

I really did enjoy Alex Cross, haha.

I finally paid money to see a Del Toro movie in theaters this summer, and it was crappy. I'll be avoiding his movies from now on.
