EH11_2NL Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Falling Down Prince of Tides The Fisher King So awful that I couldn't sit through until the end. Might get pelters for Falling Down as it seems to have achieved some cult status but quite frankly it was 💩. Prince of Tides. Sorry but Nick Nolte is a dreadful actor. The Fisher King was NOT Robin Williams finest moment either. Only posting this as we watched The Clearing last night with Helen Mirren, Willem Dafoe and Robert Redford. Great cast but utterly pointless plot, bombscare script and wooden acting. Avoid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benny Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I have not walked out on a film that I have been to on my own. Used to go with my daughter when she was young and the only film she was wanting to leave early was the Flintstones. Got out pronto in case she changed her mind.

JudyJudyJudy Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Actually have walked out a film one time. I took my wee nephew to see a animation film. I cant recall the name of it and . It was about a squirrel who became a cop in a big town. Think it was a pixer film. Anyway a wee bit through it the wee said he had a sore stomach and wanted to leave. Think he didn't like the film and made that excuse. I was raging as I was enjoying it. It was quite funny Obviously never showed my rage and about 10 minutes later he's scoffing a Mcflurry . So much for the sore stomach . 😮 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N Lincs Jambo Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Twice, parents took me to see Sound of Music at the Astoria In Corstorphine in the 60s. I started complaining that I didn’t feel well and wanted to go home. My mother was fuming as she really wanted to see that film but I got taken home before I kicked off in the cinema. Next morning she noticed a load of spots on my face. Can’t remember which but I either had measles or mumps. The other time was in the 80s. A group of us went to see an apparently avant garde film in the Film Festival at the arty cinema on Lothian Road. It was Querelle by Fassbinder. About half way through a collective decision was made to **** off to the pub! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never walked out of a film - have often been the last in a screening. Closest I came was quite recent and IIRC it was called Men. Decent film upto a point but the last 20-30 minutes made me question why I was still in my seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auld Reekin' Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 The Stud, "starring" Joan Collins. My mates and I only went hoping to see some filth*, or at least some decent (indecent?) shots of naked female anatomy, only to be sorely and bitterly disappointed. We headed pubwards after around 20 minutes. 🍻 (*It was rated 'X', without any justification at all.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gorgie Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 The Soloist. It's about a tramp playing the violin or some pish. There was nowt else on so just went for that.

A great twist on time travelling and quite moving. Especially when she sees her old gran and grandad again who had died years before. Kathleen Turner was superb in it and Nicolas Cage was too. 1 hour ago, Francis Albert said: I didn't see it cinema because we had already walked out of the Broadway show at the first interval.

I thought it was a lost opportunity as the musical is very good. Although I really liked Rennee Zellweger in it. Shes an outstanding actress in particular comedy. She reminds me a lot in style of Ginger Rogers who funnily enough played the part of Roxie Hart in the 1942 " Roxie Hart" which later became the musical " Chicago". Great comic timing.
