Did they really hate the movie?

I have never walked out on a movie. I paid and therefore I will see it through to the end.

Maybe since they spent their money, bought snacks And might have been on a date they just rode it out?

I recall being on a couple of dates where the movie was simply terrible and I picked it...talk about awkward!

I distinctly recall scrambling for a next move...Take her to see the full moon over New Rochelle Harbor, or a late night traipse through the woods in Putnam County, or go for an attempted make out session down by The Hudson River...Dating is a ton of work and scrambling for the sexy time is often required!

Dating was exhausting and expensive!

I will not walk out on movies.

1. I like movies and talking about terrible ones helps to learn about what stories are and critique the errors. That is one reason why we are here. I rarely post about films I love, because there's not much to say.

2. I have seen bad films that have some kind of twist at the end, that changed things or was a great moment.

La La Land was horrible, just very terrible. However, there's a scene at the end that really affected me emotionally and I can't forget. Still hate the movie with passion but loved that scene.

Whether it was in a theatre or at home, I can't remember the last time I stopped watching a movie before it was over. How can I have an opinion on it until I see it to the end?

sure, you can hate something & still sit all the way through it. we can make it through colonoscopies & prostate exams, so we can sit through unpleasant movies. it's not like it's an enormous ask. it's just a few hours of your time.

personally, it's really rare for me to truly hate a movie. i can be bored, indifferent, but almost never driven to hatred. in fact, of the 150 films i saw released in 2019, i think i only truly hated two of them, in that i found it hard to sit through to the end.

i just finished reading a book that i honestly disliked, found onerous to get through. that's a much tougher chore, certainly. i must have put 18-20 hours into reading it, and around the midway mark i began to find it really tough, just a dirge. that's certainly more of an ask, spending so many hours with a book than seeing a film to the end.

i wanted to put it down, but i carried on, mostly because the book is held as being quite a modern classic of its genre by many, and was recommended by a writer i genuinely like & respect.

honestly, i don't really trust my own reaction to it - perhaps i'm just too old, tired & dim to follow it. i just know that i found it exhausting & tiresome & i'm glad i've finished it & will no longer have it in my life.

MY WIFE DOES THAT...WATCHS THE WHOLE FLICK,MAYBE EVEN CHUCKLES OR WHATEVER...THEN ITS OVER AND I HATED THAT....I CALL BULLSHIT....BTW..CURIOUS WHAT 2 FLICKS YOU WALKED OUT ON?

Only once, have I been part of a group that walked out of a movie together.

That's the thing, if you go to the movie theater with people, it's hard to get everyone to agree to leave and actually leave, without being a pain to everyone seated near you. And then, there's the hope that it will get better...
