Movies so bad you've walked out of the theater

[Mukey]

Just a weird topic I thought I'd post & see what happened

Personally I've walked out of Nicholas Cage's "Bringing Out the Dead" and Mortal Kombat 2 or "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation"

Hmm..... I'll have to ask the wife about that one. I know we did once...

Does walking out of one film because another you'd more rather see is about to start?

[Mukey]

Nah, I'm more talking if the movie is so bad for one reason or another that you've left, with or without trying to get your $ back. The reason doesn't have to be listed, unless it was something unreal.

The 1st time I tried to see The Aviator at the AMC Yorktown for example, we sat almost all the way in the back. The projectionist was listening to old school Boys 2 Men so loud we could hear it whenever the movie had a quieter moment, so we went & got our $ back. Never have gone to that theater again.

That's why I hate to go to the theatre and pay 10 bucks for the privilege.
Last movie I walked out for that reason was 'Let's Go To Prison'. Totally awful.

I've been sticking to the Tivoli in Downers Grove, but I'm biased because I'm 2 blocks from there. But for $3.50 you can't go wrong. Ogden 6 in Naperville is also good & just as cheap.

Yeah, we used to go to the Tivoli a lot, last time 8 or 9 years ago, when it was still only $1.75 (mental image of old curmudgeon playing world's smallest violin...)

Do they still have the organist playing before the show, on that big pipe organ rising out of the pit?

[Mukey]

Yup, organ is still going on before shows. Brings back memories of when I was a kid going there
