Have you ever walked out of a movie?

[Irving]

Well that is certainly understandable. A lot of people hated Vanilla Sky, I liked that one.

One time we asked for our money back because the theater was full of a bunch of teenagers (at least 20 of them) who were just there to talk to each other and wouldn't shut the fuck up. We eventually got them all kicked out, it was ridiculous!

Rainman. Blew goat.

And I have sat through most of the Faces of Death at the midnight movies...

Nope never have. But we should have walked out on Sooper Troopers. I didn't like it thought it was stupid. Hubby was not happy with me that day.

Not surprised. Women hate Monty Python but want to go see SAW.

Meet the Fockers

The comedy was rediculously immature, even for me.

I like my fart jokes sophisticated.

Fortunately, we still have a drive in theatre in Pueblo. One ticket for two movies. Plus, you don't have to finance the friggin' popcorn and soda.

I guess I'm too cheap to pay to see a movie and then walk out. Just about bailed on Blair Witch Project back in the day. Most over hyped P.O.S. I ever suffered through.

Meet the Fockers

I walked out on the first one; Meet the Parents. What a complete POS.

I have also seriously thought of pulling the plug on the cable all together, but we watch a lot of sports. It's the TV's only saving attribute. I regularly shut it off in the middle of programs. Just too stupid to deal with... There's a book out there that's a great read about this by Neil Postman, titled "Amusing Ourselves to Death."

I have also stopped reading multiple books half way through because they sucked my will to live.... Most Stephen King books come to mind.... 30 chapters of bla bla bla for two chapters of actual plot at the end. Read some Diana Gabledon (dear god, don't ask me what I was thinking...) books that I couldn't finish either. Why do some women writers want to quantify every sub-second of their character's existance with the emotion of 'love'? The plot was excellent, characters were excellent, great story potential, good writing style... Just WAY too much emotional baggage in it for me to stomach. I read a lot though, so I'm always willing to chuck kindling in the pile to get to a good one.

[Irving]

I was going to ask which books people have stopped reading, but didn't want to start off with two topics right away. Only books I can think of that I never finished were Ghost Story by Peter Straub and Tess of the D'urbervilles.

I couldn't stand that movie either.

Love Monty Python, hate horrors.

It was awefully immature - just like all of Ben Stillers movies.
