It takes a lot for me to have to walk out of a movie. I mean it has to pretty gosh darn awful for me to want to leave. Have you ever seen anything so bad that it couldn't be alleviated by multiple trips to the concession stand? Let me know!

The Little Mermaid

Widget_bgyttbxnrc76c4khsk_vjw

Ok, so this is TOTALLY embarassing, but when I went to go see “The Little Mermaid” in the movie theater I got scared and I made my mom take me home. A crazy witch octopus can be a very scary thing for a 5 year-old.

The Royal Tenenbaums

I love this movie. So why is it on here? Well, when I went to go see it in the theater I got massive stomach cramps and I had to run out of the movie theater. I made it home just in time to throw up in the bathroom. I went back and saw the movie another day, but it kinda sucked I never got my money back. I guess I should just be happy that I wasn’t on a date at the time.

BAMBI

this was my exact quote, coming from little Chelsea, “There’s too many sad people in there……”

Pretty sure this was when Bambi’s mom died, which was tragic. Too tragic for little minds.

Oooouuch

The part where E.T. is all gray and white? On ice? And the military men are working on him? I screamed at my parents “You promised me that he wouldn’t DIE!” and then stomped out of the theater. They later told me that they figured since I was 30 years old, I would have heard the storyline already.

Ohmygosh, that is so sad. :( :( :(

The Crow: City of Angels

Widget_bhkqg-ckba25311qimbfmz

Loved the original Crow film, starring Brandon Lee. This one took way more liberties with the violence and sex, and ultimately wasn’t nearly as good. So, why walk out? Try seeing it at 13 years old while sitting next to parents… dear God, I still get chills thinking about it.

Black Hawk Down

Widget_cjgdgjsgri97enxfuak-z1

I walked out on my date on this one, and I think it was the movie that caused me to swear off “big-budget” films forever.

I haven’t been to a “real” theater in about 8 years.

Quarantine

Widget_a73knuuatlx5yrvelpglwa

I didn’t realize (well duh to me!) that the entire film is shot as if the audience is looking through a video camera. Motion Sickness? Bad. Storyline? Even bad-der!

The Rocketeer

Widget_du1y1kxm9e_yi7lbs2_sou

I was 8 and went to see The Rocketeer with my friend and her mom. Her mom made us leave. I think they said a swear, but I never really figured out exactly why she wouldn’t let us keep watching. I remember being embarrassed because she yelled at the ticket people and demanded our money back. The movie was boring to my 8 year old girly self anyway. But come on, it’s Disney!

King Kong (2005 downgrade)

Widget_a4xo01dfraspwan4j709km

I never even got to see Kong enter the screen, the script, acting, and camera work were THAT bad. I straight up ditched friends over this one.

Haha! “Downgrade.”

My bad for even going to this in the first place. What did I expect?

Can I just clarify that you went to the theater to see this?? It wasn’t just a late-night slightly drunken Blockbuster night?

I think you’re going to have to look really deep inside yourself to answer that question, TacoStomps.

House of 1000 Corpses

It was too late when I realized that I could have gotten my money back.

That’s too bad— I’m sure the trailer looked awesome :)

I was with friends and they didn’t like it. I should have stayed. I was their ride home.

 

Full Frontal

Widget_dnxq9s91relydo9qh8tvly

I’m a fan of Steven Soderbergh. That being said, the man must have been suffering from a massive head injury when he made this movie. It is seriously awful.

Dancer in the Dark

Widget_aasyc_sw1ii5vgeyy1j-ti

I love Bjork, so I was definitely excited to see this movie, but my excitement wore off pretty fast. I know Von Trier can be a little off putting, but this was just too much for me.

I didn’t walk out, but this movie definitely ruined me for a few days.

More like a nightmare!

The Incredible Hulk (2003)

Widget_chu4kpr_9pnaj3yaar4u-c

Much like The Little Mermaid story, I walked out on this one because my 6 year old stepson flipped shit when the giant dogs showed up in the movie.

Beyond cheesy and boring. We had to get out of there.

The name and tag-line make me want to kill some one…is that what the movie is about?

I couldn’t tell you!

Widget_dclo6nf7bcf6rx3mpfwb_w

I was six and couldn’t wait to see this movie. I got sick 20 minutes in and my babysitter took me home. I felt like I had done something wrong since we paid to get in and then had to leave.

Armageddon

Widget_cg6xogdo5ow5totis5y6qr

Oh no, wait, it was this one.

I would walk out on the soundtrack, too, if I could.

I’m embarrassed to admit that I cried during this movie. Yeah.

Ooooph. It really was trying to jerk tears . . . it’s just whenever I get a whiff of heavy sentimentality, I get mad instead . . .

30 Days of Night

Widget_age1s0c8nhvoip29oohseq

I lasted all of one day of night or ten minutes. I was with my non-scaredy friend Samantha. I freaked out and crawled on all fours to get out of the theater after screaming my head off. I am a grown woman, I got punk’d and ran to ask for my money back. Hers too.

Good for about 20 minutes. then great for a $20 two hour nap. Awful movie.

Bewitched

Widget_bblaf1qyjl7lewwqdduibs

This movie was so awful and made me so angry that I still break out in rage-sweats when I think about it. I was too embarrassed to demand my money back.

As a fan of the original TV series I couldn’t let myself see this— that, and it looked God-awful.

The Little Mermaid was the first movie I saw in a theater – I remember being terrified of Ursula too. Can’t say I left, but hey, she was really effing scary.
