CONFESS!! Which Movies Have You Fallen Asleep At or Walked Out Of?

[arwalden]

I fell asleep watching LA Confidential (missed the ending... and still haven't watched it even though I bought the DVD to find out how it ends)

I also fell asleep (briefly) during Titanic.

-- Allen

[Loonman]

1. Pearl Harbor

That stupid love story almost killed me until the bombers showed up.

[Coventina]

2. Walked out of "Heat" & "War of the Roses"

I haven't ever fallen asleep at the movies since the drive-in when I was little.

[CanuckAmok]

34. Heat: I hope you stayed for the heist scene...

Best. Heist. Ever.

[Coventina]

43. I walked out when a guy was killing a prostitute.

There was just way too much violence in that movie for me.
My nerves just couldn't take it anymore.
Yes, I'm a wimp, I admit it.

[brainshrub]

3. The Omega Code

It was like someone was pissing in my eyes.

[LizW]

4. Took a LONG nap during

"Lord of the Rings" (the first movie). It still seemed endless, even with the nap.

[Breezy du Nord]

58. I fell asleep during a Kevin costner baseball movie

Not Field of Dreams, another one. Man, was that boring.

(BTW, the best part of LA Conf. was Guy Pearce. Me amy dad watched that movie together, and man, he's a real dish.

[everythingsxen]

5. Never walked out - fallen asleep at:

Sadly, as much of a fan as I used to be about Star Wars, when I saw the hacked and slahed new versions that Lucas put out, I slept through them. Well, partially. I would fall asleep and then wake up in time to see the new stuff, then fall asleep again.

As an added note, I would just like to say how much I hate Lucas for screwing up the original by making Greedo fire first at Han.

I mean wtf? Han is like a foot away. How can he possibly miss? That is the stupidest thing I have ever seen.

Han shot first because that's what his character would do. Lucas, you are such an idiot.

*ahem*

I almost walked out on "Screamers" - The last scream you hear, will be your own; fortunately we enjoyed MST3King it so we stayed.

[MrBenchley]

6. Fell asleep at the first Lord of the Rings

and at Zelig...

[morningglory]

11. Me too. LOTR the first.

[MrBenchley]

59. What a snoozer

I found it insuffrably ponderous and dull....

The third one was at least exciting, but still reminded me of the "tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury but signifying nothing."

[Rabbit of Caerbannog]

7. Appocolypse Now

well - I was VERY stoned...

[ronnykmarshall]

8. Godzilla - 1998

I fell asleep.

"Endless Love", I wanted to walk out but stayed to the bitter end and said very loud "GOD! That was awful!" the whole theater cracked up and clapped.

[arwalden]

9. Thanks For The Idea... And The Inspiration To Do The Same Thing

... someday... at at the very next godawful movie I go to. -- LOL

-- Allen

[ronnykmarshall]

27. Another good one

When there is a preview of a film that looks REAL bad, yawn VERY loud after it over.

[Bertha Venation]

10. Walked out of "Marathon Man"

It's the only time in my childhood I ever stood up for myself. I was thirteen years old.

[chiburb]

12. The one with Michael Douglas gone crazy...

He plays a middle-aged white guy (duh) who hates traffic, Koreans, etc. Walked out in the middle because I couldn't take it anymore...

[arwalden]

19. You Walked Out Of "Falling Down"... ???

I kind of enjoyed it.

-- Allen

[chiburb]

20. Yep. I walked out after...

The lunch scene with Robert Duvall (?) and some woman. It was the worst acting EVER. Falling Down, eh?

[arwalden]

31. You're Right... It Did Get Slow

after he had CLEARLY started his mental breakdown and was spouting off at everyone and everything. Even though I'm mentally stable, I think I related to his breakdown because I've often fantasized about how satisfying it could be to LAY INTO the jerks behind the counter at McDonalds.

-- Allen

[CanuckAmok]

42. That movie...

is a great example of amazing screenwriting potential, wasted. So much more could have been done with that story, but I kind of went nowhere.

[populistmom]

13. 1992- Walked out of "Candyman"

Back when I was a nice, subserviant wife :eyes: , we went to an occasional horror movie and we went to this one. It one one of the first few times I left my daughter (born Feb 1992) to go out. There was a scene that alluded to a baby being murdered by this pyscho killer entity whatever. I had to get out of there and this is still brought up in my house even now at times as something that's "funny". I always think "funny", no it's not "funny", it's a normal reaction for a mom of a baby? :wtf:

[myrna minx]

14. I *wish* I would have walked out of the Avengers.

Ugh. That is 90 minutes of my life I will never get back. I did fall asleep during AI, though.

If being dragged of a theater counts...my mom would take me to movies when I was little, and if anything was even remotely objectionable, she would yank me up by the arm and drag me out of the theater, grumbling auditably (disrupting all of the other people in the theater.) It was so humiliating!!! I was yanked out of Being There, Airplane! Yellow Beard. Meatballs. Ugh.

[flamingyouth]

15. Wings of Desire - fell asleep

Also, the second Batman movie (fell asleep).

[CanuckAmok]

16. Moulin Rouge and the Doom Generation

Walking out of Moulin Rouge was quite a feat, since it was a renter and we were watching it at home.

[skypilot]

23. You saw the Doom Generation, too?

I think Gregg Araki is one of the WORST filmmakers to ever walk this planet.

[CanuckAmok]

28. Worst. Movie. Ever.

Ever.

[adriennel]

17. very Embarrassing

I fell asleep at a movie theatre showing of Casablanca. I hang my head in shame...and I haven't wanted to see it again.

[The Zanti Regent]

18. Can't Stop the Music and Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Conned into going to see both of these dog turds. Walked out of both!

[DS1]

21. Spaceballs

.

[skypilot]

22. Started dozing off during...

...the first "Matrix" movie. Interesting story told in the most boring manner, with action sequences shown in slow motion--BIG no-no in my book.
An altogether underwhelming experience.

[cmd]

24. Not a movie - Riverdance!

I found the tapping very soothing.

[nemo137]

25. a live performance of MacBeth, and 2001: a space odyssey. eom.

[displacedtexan]

29. me, too! 2001, that is.

i was in mcbeth... no time to snooze.

more sedative films for me:

odd numbered star trek films
the english patient
gangs of new york (although i learned a lot when i was awake)
stuart little 2
titanic
red whatever it was (the prequel to silence of the lambs)

there are sooooooooooo many...

[Bronco69]

26. Independence Day

One of the most boring and ridiculous movies I've ever seen.

[terrya]

38. Ridiculous is right.

Probably the height of the idiocy of this movie was when President Bill Pullman jumps into the cockpit of an F-16 to lead everyone to battle.

[Skittles]

50. what kind of idiot president would jump into a flight suit and . .

oh never mind

[RebelOne]

47. Well, of course, it was riduculous, that's what made it entertaining.

[terrya]

30. "Dances with Wolves"...best alternative to Sominex around.

My God, what a tedious movie that was. It went on...and on...and on....and on...and on....I fell asleep during parts of it.

[arwalden]

32. OMG! Really? I loved it... and saw it about 8 times in the theater.

Not so much for the story... but for the grand scenery. (But then I've always been kind of outdoorsy and into camping and hiking and canoeing.)

-- Allen

[terrya]

36. I guess I'm just not into westerns.

Westerns aren't my favorite film genre. I was bored with "DWW"

[arwalden]

37. You're Not Into Westerns... Just Cowboys, Eh?

:-)

[terrya]

41. You got it, pal. :-)

Cowboys...Marines...Sailors...pretty much a man in a uniform...

[LynneSin]

56. I've actually never even seen that movie

Just looks too boring to me

:shrug:

[jonnyblitz]

33. From Dusk Til Dawn.

We kept fastforwarding threw that looong dragged out bar scene and the next thing we knew the movie was over.

[LynneSin]

35. HEY - Don't go stealing my "CONFESS!!" trademark

that's a LynneSin tradition!!

:crazy:

Btw - Eyes Wide Shut - hated it and walked out of it because that bizarre music game me a blinding headache during the middle of the orgy scene

[arwalden]

39. CONFESS! You're just jealous because you wish you had thought of it.

I'll make certain that my people contact your people to arrange a licensing deal whereby you get all the credit and 25% of the profits from the use of your trademarked "CONFESS!! ©" catch phrase.

-- Allen

[LynneSin]

52. Good, I need all the money I can get my hands on....

...my kitty kat has a massive catnip addiction that I have to help supply him with.

:D

[geniph]

40. Heaven's Gate and The Deer Hunter

Cimino is in dire need of an editor. Those 10-minute long panning landscape long shots with no dialogue are soporific at best and utterly stupefying at worst.

The Deer Hunter had the core of a really good movie in there, if about 45 minutes of Cimino's self-indulgence were pared away (and if the Cascades looked anything like the Pennsylvania hills, which they do not!).

[Jack_Dawson]

44. The Matrix

Yawn.

[RebelOne]

45. Believe it or not -- A Beautiful Mind.

Rented the DVD and fell asleep 3/4 of the way through. For the life of me, I can't understand how that movie won any awards.

[GregW]

46. (Embarassed) Fell asleep during "Unforgiven"

It wasn't until a year later when I watched it again on hotel PPV that I realized what a brilliant film this is. Couldn't help myself the first time, was just dog-tired and had just eaten.

[jayfish]

48. I Fell Asleep Several Times During...

the second Harry Potter Movie. I still haven't seen it all the way through. I walked out on "Little Shop Of Horrors" and the second Highlander flick.

Jay

[Skittles]

49. I walked out of LA Confidential too

I just thought it was boring. I slept during Spiderman, walked out of The Cell, and WOULD have walked out of the second Matrix movie if I had been alone. I despise LOTR and any other fantasy crap movie.

[beyurslf]

51. Walked out of Mission to Mars. Only movie I have ever done that to. n/t

[Flightful]

64. I saw it for free

And still left feeling ripped off.

[Blade]

53. the matrix

[Booberdawg]

54. l think it was called "The man who would be King"

I was with a date. Worst fucking movie I've ever seen in my life. I was willing to go stand in the parking lot while he stayed and watched the rest of the movie, but he would not have that.

He could not have that. I could not get out of there fast enough when it was finally over and he wanted to watch the fucking credits! I just about had to fight him to get out of there!

This date did not go over well.

I never saw him again after that day.

[Bundbuster]

55. Walked out of a theater

on Last Tango In Paris - Brando at his self-absorbed, egotistical worst.

[Piperay]

57. Blair Witch Project...

BORING, :boring: also Aliens, especially the last one. :boring:

[SheilaT]

60. The Devils

a 1971 flick with Oliver Reed is the only movie I've ever walked out of. It was just too brutal.

A year or so later I read the book it was based on, "The Devils of Loudin" by Aldous Huxley, and as Ken Russell pointed out when people complained about the film, he left out the really gruesome stuff.

[CShine]

61. "The Fan"........walked out........(barf)

[CShine]

62. "The Fan"........walked out........(barf)

[Lydia Leftcoast]

63. I walked out of Batman Returns

when it was shown at the $1.00 movie theater in the little Oregon town where I was living. I just couldn't get into it.

I also walked out of an unbearable British version of Shakespeare's As You Like It. Arden Forest was replaced by a junkyard full of street people, and the only other seet was a hotel lobby. Add to this the fact that everyone's accents were really low class and impenetrable, and I usually don't have trouble with British accents.

If I'm tired enough, I'm capable of falling asleep during just about anything, including films that I like. However, I invariably wake up refreshed after about ten minutes.

[Flightful]

65. Terms of Endearment

An excruciating bore- my GF branded me "insensitive". Chick flicks- never again!

[onebigbadwulf]

66. Lord of the Rings - Fellowship of the Ring

I was up all night and fell asleep at the movie. I loved it, just couldn't stay awake!

[onebigbadwulf]

67. Kill Bill - some fundies I know walked out on it

However, I loved it!
