Have you ever been to a movie so terrible that you saw people leaving the theater? Which one was it? (lemmy.world)

The only time I've ever experienced this was with Skinamarink, had two different people walk out of it. I completely understand why people don't like it, but I was in the 50% of people who saw it that it totally worked for. It got under my skin in a way no other horror movie has (even amongst some really good ones that I really loved/was scared by!), and it was the first one in a while that scared me as an adult. For a long time after seeing it, I hated walking around my house at night for any reason.

I watched it with friends and one of us fell asleep during the first few minutes. We all ended up envying her because we fall solidly in the "nothing about this movie works for us" camp. It's rather telling that we started making Look Around You jokes after the basement scene.

But yeah, it's interesting about how polarizing this movie is not for its content or message but for how it's made. For some people it really seems to hit a nerve, for others it's an extremely badly shot movie about a ghost with severe ADHD alternating between gluing things to walls and tormenting chatbot approximations of human children.

Not a theater walkout, but... We just tried to watch "Legend" with Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, Tim Curry, and directed by Ridley Scott. It was so jarring, shockingly bad we couldn't last past the 15 minute mark. The writing, the acting, the direction, the music (with bombastic synth stabs), and really terrible editorial/audio fx choices. Also, there is so many feathers just floating around. Honestly, I love b-movie fantasies (Krulletc) but this thing takes itself so seriously and is so cringingly bad we just couldn't get through it.

Dragon it just sucked Meet the Robinsons.....It doesn't get good till the last 30 or so minutes. But it's a tough spot to get their.

~~Atlas Shrugged,~~ Cloud Atlas, I think the one with Tom Hanks. Thought it might be an interesting movie because of the title and Tom Hanks, but I could tell within the first five minutes it was nothing but propaganda. I saw a couple other people leaving along with me.

Boogie Nights, my wife had enough of it and insisted on leaving.

I wanted to leave the art film "Burnt By the Sun" but ended up apologizing to my date (she liked arty films too). We both agreed it was so bad it was almost amusing.

I went to sleep away lacrosse camp when I was 11-12, and one night they had boogie nights on, but you needed to be 14 or up before they'd let you watch. I regarded it at the time as less movie and more pornographic spectacle. Obviously ended up watching it as I got older, and while yes, it's a bit pornographic spectacle, it's also a very well made film. Great story, great pacing, well directed.

Yes, that's all I have to offer.
