I only walked out of a movie once when I was there with my parents. I was little (maybe like 8) and we were watching Frankenstein 3D. Except it ended up being sort of soft core porn. Out we went when a penis was coming at us in 3D.

I've walked out of 2 shows ...
~ 1 - The Supersuckers. Don't get me wrong, I ~love~ the supersuckers. This particular day was a long one, I had spent all day at a baseball game, drinking tons of beer, so I was pretty alcohol tired. We waited for hours until the supersuckers show started (i belive at the bluebird in denver). Although they are quite rockabilily, we started to notice a crapload more of cowboy boots on girls and chops on guys than normal. And then they came out and played "The Country Show" (They used to play either the rock show or the country show) and we were NOT down for a hungover, tired country show. So we left.
~ 2 - Godsmack. We went to see The Deftones open for godsmack at Red Rocks. When godmsack started playing, we determined we weren't fans.

    Yup, concert was The Enid when they 'reformed', it turned out to be the singer (who was in his late 40's) and a bunch of teenagers. Slightly creepy, and cr*p.

    Movie, Highlander 2 I would have walked out but the cinema was full & I was right in the middle of a row, Had to sit thu the whole damn movie cause I was too polite.:grumble:

    I've walked out on lots of movies. I don't want to waste time if I hate something after the first 30 minutes. I don't remember most of them, but I do remember leaving "Wag the Dog", "Analyze This (or whatever the first one was)," and the movie where Alanis Morrisette is God.

    The interesting thing is that I like movies that are so bad they are funny.I only hate a movie if it has zero entertainment value whatsoever. In my opinion, of course.

    I've never walked out on a concert, mainly because I don't go to many. I don't think they are very fun, for the most part.

    LOL @ the 3D penis coming at you!! But Godsmack sucks live. Saw them at Ozzfest when they first came out and the show was VERY boring.

    I've only ever walked out of one movie, and one concert.

    Movie was Blair Witch Project. Honestly, I got bored, and I knew how it ended, so I left.

    Concert was Rod Stewart. Surprisingly, he was VERY boring in concert! We left about (what I'm assuming was) 2/3 of the way through the show. :yawn:

    Saw Mars Volta open for System of a Down. We went to see Mars Volta and decided to give System a go. As per usual--heavy band that sucks infinitely live.

    I've never walked out of a movie, I won't go to one if I really think it could be that bad.

    I've left a concert once, and it was not by my choice or control. I still regret it to this day and should have thrown a fit to stay. It was Ozzfest 2000 (?I believe). I was 15 and went with my uncle, all his friends/girlfriend. His girlfriend was 8 months pregnant and after sitting in the hot sun all day in 90 something degree weather, her jumping up and down frantically during Pantera, my first day of school that year was the next morning and we had a 3 hour drive back, AND since they'd all seen Ozzy already~we left early. As we were getting in the car I could hear Ozzy going on stage. :( My mom told me later I probably didn't miss much, but I would have liked to knock it off my bucket list.

    I walked out on Godzilla with Matthew Broderick. That movie was too stupid to exist.

    And I left a Jonathan Coulton show because I was so freaking tired that I couldn't enjoy it.

    I went to see The Pallbearer at the dollar movie theater, and I don't think anyone was sad when the projector broke halfway through the movie.

    We paid $45 each for lawn seats to see The Allman Brothers Band a couple years ago. Opening act was Phil Lesh, the bassist for The Grateful Dead. Phil Lesh apparently only has 5 songs, but each of them are like 20+ minutes. Phil Lesh played for 2.5 hours, at which time it had started to rain. We waited another half an hour; by then it was a downpour and lightning and we were completely soaked so we left, never having gotten to see The Allman Brothers Band :angry:

    Never walked out of a concert, if I go it is because I am a fan.

    Walked out of G Love but it wasn't by choice. I went with some friends to see Ozomatli, Slighty Stoopid and G Love. They were ready to leave after SS played and they were my ride. I was pretty pissed since I was really there for G Love.

    eta: I've never walked out of a movie but I have slept through them.

    I've walked out of lots of movies, most recently "He's Just Not That Into You" and the last concert I walked out of was "The Flaming Lips." Go ahead, throw tomatoes. It was fun, but I was at a festival, and this little no-name band's show was starting and I decided I'd rather see them... so my BF and I left and we never regretted it.

    Yes, once.

    Got up and walked out of the movie " Natural Born Killers".

    Thought is was a piece of drug infused crap.

    I haven't.

    I've seen two films in my life that I KNOW I would have walked out of if I'd seen them in a cinema, but I only go to watch things I really want to see - I don't want to waste money seeing things I'm not 100% sure about, so I've never put myself in the position where I'd be in the cinema realising I was watching something rubbish, thankfully.

    The two films I would have walked out of were The Forgotten and Despicable Me. Terrible movies, in my eyes.

    Walked out of "Spawn" years ago. Was a big fan of the comic but the movie was horrendous.

    No, but I came close. Years ago I saw New Order in Pittsburgh. They came onstage, turned on their computer-generated music, milled around, and left the stage. 45 minutes later, they returned. The lead singer, in this sneery, contemptuous voice, said, "We're just so happy to be here in beautiful Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania." We ALL should have gotten up and left. Jerks.
