I don't think I could have lasted that long.
I guess some people think they're Stanley Kubrick when they're closer to Stanley Roper. |

You took it longer than I could have. Was it free I hope?
Sounds like the director has similar taste to these goofy fashion shows that have been going on lately. |

I walked out of "World's Greatest Dad." Only time I've ever walked out of a movie.
It was that Robin Williams movie that was advertised as a relatively mischievous romp, but those who have seen the movie know The Scene I'm about to reference. The events of the movie kick off when Williams walks in on his son having accidentally killed himself by asphyxiation. Williams absolutely crushes the scene, but it is an emotionally devastating scene, that is punctured before and after with a stupid comedy that doesn't do anything. That scene comes out of nowhere and ruins your damn day. And the movie around it doesn't justify it. In a more serious drama, I would have forgiven it, I think. But it was so unearned, and Williams sells it so well. I walked out 10 minutes after, when it was clear this was going to be a stupid movie with no point. Trigger warning:
Spoiler!

I haven’t walked out of a movie before, but I have damn sure slept through a good amount of crappy movies in a movie theater. They make the seats so much more comfortable now, and it’s honestly been some of the best naps I’ve ever had.

The Alexander movie.
The made Alexander the Great gay because Hollywood. I am a huge history buff and Alexander the Great was one of my favorite generals of all time. Couldn't stand to see how they butchered his story. |

I was a film major.
That sounds like a college student film trying way too hard to be ironic. |

I walked out of Warren Beatty's Dick Tracy back in the day. Just an awful, horrible movie. Fire Me Boy! and I used to get into arguments over that movie, lol.
Beatty so loved the character of Dick Tracy that he went to so pretty wild ends to ensure he maintained the rights to the character. https://www.indiewire.com/features/g...al-1234809159/ |

The last 30-40 minutes of the movie is what makes it a classic. I say that as a Star Wars nerd, admittedly, but give it a shot just for the climax.
