"La La Land....it lasted less than a minute before I turned it off "
I tried watching this a couple of weeks ago not knowing anything about it. It lasted 20 minutes. |

"The Babadook. Could not cope with that child. Turned it off after about half an hour."
The kid is horrible
But he has a hard time of things by the end of the film and redeems himself by being much less of a little shit. |

It’s got to be really bad for me to turn a film off and I mean BAD as in bad, not bad as in so bad that it’s actually, strangely good (does that make sense?)
Anyway, the last film I recall abandoning after a short duration of watching was the final 50 Shades entry.
That was complete bollocks.
Hell, even Dakota Johnson baring all every five or so minutes couldn’t hold me there  |

I started watching some shit on Netflix last night that has a rotten tomatoes, audience score of 95%, critics score of 11%. It was literally the worst thing I’ve ever seen in my life.
Netflix is great for the shittiest films that nobody else wants |

Friends with money. Couldn't make it to the end, it was seriously bad.
Why Jennifer Aniston; just why??
That's 35 minutes of my life I'm never getting back |

I tried and failed twice with the 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull', but it wasn't till I failed with Marvel's Black Widow (after successfully going through them all in sequence before reading that this one was skippable) that I realised exactly why...
They both had Ray Winstone exaggerating his cockney hard man role as the token Soviet/Russian villain (or whatever they were called in Black Widow). Even though I would normally have ploughed through both, somehow I just couldn't take it.
I normally give myself up to films, but if anything it's cliched politics that does me.
Maybe some pretentiousness too - if it wasn't for my companion I'd have walked out of Lars Von Trier's Manderlay for sure.

That film about Charles Manson with Brad Pitt. I've seen Shampoo and I kind of got what Tarantino was trying to do (that slow 70's vibe), but after that Bruce Lee episode? Nah. I wasn't going to wait all that long just to see how he'd resolve that one (or not).

I saw a film in the cinema once called Toys, with Robin Williams (early 90's maybe?). Everyone in the cinema gave up on it. Kids were allowed to run around and adults just chatted to each other! It was simply impossible to follow, a star sudded cast but a real stinker for the cinema at least.

I can never abandon films (much the same as with books) "in case it gets good"
I once watched a film starring Ewan McGregor. My friend who'd chosen it summarised it as follows:
"He's some kind of secret agent and she's got something wrong with her and he has to go and look after her...or something like that"
Having watched it, I couldn't give a better explanation of plot. I've no idea what it was about and it never "got good".
I still want my couple of hours back. |

Dune was that bad I left the cinema after not long and I was excited about that because I used to have the game."
I only know the books, not the game. But I really enjoyed the film (assume you're talking about the relatively recent one, not the 80s one with Sting!?). Looking forward to part two in November. |

There's actually been 3 board games I think (since the late 70's - all rated too!) I haven't seen the new one but I quite liked David Lynch's Dune, even though he disowned it. Sting was ace.

"The year was 1980
The film was Times Square. Walked out of the cinema
But then went and had sex in the car so not a wasted evening!
.
I love that film!!!!!"
Honestly watch it again, it's a fairy tale on the streets of New York. I've not seen it for years but as a teen it was one of my films. It has Tim Curry as an ex-Brit DJ and an absolutely beautiful lead actress as the young song writer who's career in real life was ruined by the company she signed to (this could still happen in 1980 - they gave her nothing but shit exploitation films and she ended up a local weather woman I think). It's got an amazing glam/punk/post-punk soundtrack (Blondie etc), and ends with Same Old Scene by Roxy Music, one of my favourite songs.

Caligula.... went to see it at the late night showing when it came out with a couple of girlfriends, they were the only women there, we decided to leave after 20 minutes and the macks in lap brigade wouldn't or more likely couldn't stand up to let us get out |

The new one is very good,it's a slow burner,the David Lynch version is one of my favourite films ever but new one is epic the cinematography is sublime.
Gamers 
Go see a movie based on one of the most successful book series of all time and expect it to be non stop action from the off.
Dune is an epic story that cannot be rushed.
People have no patience these days.
Go and watch fast and the furious let us grown ups enjoy our time.

The Dune series were real tomes most of them, no doubt about that. I think I read the first 3, a bit to young though (before I was a teen even, but I read all the scifi I could get in those days). I think there was a series too wasn't there? How was that?
What's wrong with board gamers lol?

"Hands down Solaris!!
IMFG!!! Couldnt watch even half of it! So bad"

Which one? The original Russian one by Tarkovsky is even longer (than the Hollywood remake with Clooney). I enjoy it, but maybe just for the once!

I was referring to the previous poster who said it wasn't like the game sorry.
Now you've mentioned it tho board gamers  
Re the TV show it wasn't brilliant overuse of really bad CGI completely ruined it.

I'm terrible for falling asleep in the cinema, not necessarily a reflection on the films.
I've never managed to sit through any of the Godfathers. Yawn.
I walked out of Hamilton in the theatre. Couldn't understand a bloody word they were rapping. |

The latest Bond movie. Turned it off half way through. I'd seen every one since Goldeneye in the cinema, so I'm glad I didn't waste money at the cinema watching that absolute turd of a movie. |

I was in the states on a school trip and for some downtime, we went to see Charlies Angels. I left when Bill Murray chewed a piece of wood into gun and declared 'I'm not wasting my time with this shit' |

"The latest Indiana Jones, Barbie and have never finished Blade Runner as get too bored....
Just a few lol"

My ex actually fell asleep in the middle of the Blade Runner sequel (I felt myself it really dragged), the 80's original is really h*pnotic and exciting though I think.

I bought the soundtrack to that. "Reproduction, reproduction, is that all you think about..."
