I haven't walked out of a movie in more than 10 years.  Here in NYC 
movies are now 10$ each, so if I want to go to the movies, I think 
long and hard about it before I go out and spend my teacher's salary 
like that.  I can tell you about rentals I couldn't watch, though.

My boyfriend and I rented "Armageddon" on several recommendations.  It 
was so awful, I couldn't sit still and kept getting up to do other 
things while it was playing.  Why that movie was a hit is beyond me.  
We also loathed "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and went to sleep before it 
was over.  Why would I want to watch a movie where the main character 
is so repugnant?
