Example 1:
When one of the dialog lines reads as follows:
"It's septicemia. An infection in the bones. Usually when there's bacteria".

At the end. I mean, staying after that would be silly. And walking out on a movie at all is a waste of your money, unless THX has finally made the audience deaf.*Quote:

I stop seeing a movie when gratuitious violence overshadows the plot and everything else ie. Eden Lake, The Passion of the Christ.
I don't even watch movies like Saw or those types of ultraviolent movies. Torture porn is not cool.
I tried to watch one of the Saw movies once. I didn't even last 5 minutes before I turned it off.Quote:

I've seen all the Saw movies (all 6 of them :)). Honestly, only for the story and twists -- not twisting of limbs.
I'll second this. Great movies if you put all the blood behind you.Quote:

Oh...kind of the same thing happened here, except this time it was Mina Suvari and she was a soldier...

I'm risking, a reference to Lucas' THX 1138 dystopian world as well as Lucas' sound system. ;)Quote:

I do watch them occasionally, though. Cable is your friend when insomnia decides to make a visit. I sometimes find that watching a bad movie helps me exercise my judgmental self.
I also thought the Saw movies were stupid.
I walked out of Man of the Year. They showed all those previews of Robin Williams being super funny, but then I actually went and saw the movie and it was like 5 minutes funny, the rest terrible and/or serious.Quote:

The best part is when the villain is just standing at his console and says something like "come on is that all you've got?" and it's just like pictures of a fake motherboard on the screen.
I only have walked away from a movie theater once in my life. And that was "Superbad", though I have seen worse.
When I see it at home, I usually just fast forward when I get uninterested.
I would say there are two kind of people. The ones that will watch a bad movie because they started it and the others that won't watch it, they will simply close it and not worry about it. I belong in the second.
I only turn off a movie if it engages me so little that I care more about cleaning my room than finishing the movie.
After seeing the first episode of Haven yesterday, I wasn't very impressed. I would have expected more from a Stephen King based show. If the next episode doesn't get any better, I probably won't watch the rest of them.
I'm honestly always amazed at the thought that Stephen King is some kind of quality guarantee. As a writer, he's so prolific that obviously his books are shallow, boring, repetitive and unimaginative. For years -- for decades in fact -- Stephen King doesn't write a book that isn't a piece of crap. He's the McDonalds of horror fiction and he's a bad writer that sits on the laurels of of passable early work aimed at the masses.
My opinion? You bet.
Well, the only two horror stories I've actually read are Dean Koontz' Phantom and Stephen King's Gerald's Game. The latter being inappropriate for my age at the time, but I was quite interested in how she would leave. Phantom was a cooler book.
