Since we're on a movie kick, what are some of the movies you've paid to see at the theater, but ended up sleeping through them because of lack of story, talent or just un-interesting?
For me, I dont go to the movies very often, but the last one I did pay for and stayed awake was 'The Simpsons Movie'.
Movies I have fallen asleep through:
Top Gun
Star Wars or Star Trek, dont know which one I was dragged to, but its been 20 some odd years ago....
Mission Impossible
She-Devil
The Never Ending Story
Harry Potter something-or-another
Lord of the Rings (this one knocked me out in 6 minutes flat!)(and was a very long nap!)
Again, I dont go to many movies, but if it doesnt 'grab me' in the first 2 minutes, I'm TOAST!

I've only fallen asleep once at the movies, and I blame it on being tired (though the movie sucked anyway). It was during "Sphere".
-
I've never fallen asleep during films, the mere fact I paid any sort of money is enough to drive me to the end. My Fiance and her daughter have though. A little embarrassing since the kid snores like a chainsaw.
There are, however, a few movies I wish I got my money, my time and my life back on. As forgiving as I am when it comes to watching and rating films, some of them are just downright awful. Thankfully the absolute horror usually wipes my memory within a few weeks. If I struggle to remember, I think I can recall a few.
Hellboy. I can't figure out why this film has any sort of fanbase.
That vampire vs werewolf flick. Unparalleled levels of suckage.
That M. Night Shyamalan film about the colonial type people living in the woods. It was so predictable, I just wanted my money back 1/3 of the way through. And I missed the sneakers.
I can't really think of any others. The horror is usually too much to bear.

I fell asleep the first time I saw Braveheart in the theater. It had nothing to do with the movie's quality. I just had just only slept like 2 hours the night before. I was in high school back then and had friends working at three different theaters. I never paid to see movies.
Hellboy was really good. I wasn't a big fan of Hellboy 2, though the rest of the world seemed to like the second one considerably more.
I'm not entirely sure how predictable
The Village wasn't exactly predictable . . . everything that happened was just so ---smurfing--- unbelievably retarded. Like how could you predict that a seemingly loving father would send his completely blind daughter out into a strange forest to hopefully make it to a world she did not know existed until that moment to hopefully obtain antibiotics (which she's never even heard of, and if I remember correctly the father doesn't even tell her what they're called) without a prescription, after which she will hopefully find someone to just drop this completely helpless girl off in the middle of nowhere so her blind ass can hopefully make her way back through a ---smurfing--- forest to find the Village again. This is all because the dad, who is perfectly healthy and used to live in the normal world and knows perfectly well the way through the forest to and from the Village, promised himself that he'd never go back to that world. It's not that he has sworn off the world entirely . . . he doesn't mind using prescription antibiotics . . . just so long as it's not him that fetches them. Also the antibiotics almost surely will never be forthcoming and his daughter will almost surely get lost and starve to death trying to get them. Also if this blind girl miraculously manages to make it to civilization alive it will almost certainly be law enforcement that returns to the Village rather than the girl. Yeah . . . I can't say the movie was entirely predictable. Every time I thought it couldn't possibly get any stupider, I was immediately amazed at how wrong I had been. For example the girl goes through the forest, illegally obtains the correct medicine (for which, iirc, she didn't even know the name), gets a ride back to the middle of nowhere, makes her way a very long way back through a forest with no trail whatsoever and finds the Village, without alerting any law enforcement. Also she is completely blind. Too stupid for words.
-
Star Wars episode 1. Yeah.
I WISH I fell asleep during Sphere. Oh man. What an ending.
I made out through half of Spaced Invaders, (what a turd that was) and then we left cuz there's only so much sucking face you can do at a bad movie.
-
I go to a lot of movies. I have fallen asleep in one movie because it was that bad. It was something directed or produced by Nicole Kidman, it starred Mark Ruffulo and maybe Naomi Watts. It was aweful, I'm glad i don't even remember the name.
Embarrassingly, i went through a stage of going to the local deckchair cinema, watching absolute classics, and falling asleep :-[ But this was because i was tired and should have known better. So i've slept through Blade Runner, directors cut and the original Lord of the Rings...
-
I fall asleep in 80% of movies I go to or rent. Only the ones I don't sleep in are worth remembering. So, I cannot give titles!
-
So i've slept through Blade Runner, directors cut
Same here, but that's because no matter how well made it is, it's a boring movie.
-
I haven't slept through any movies I know... but I wish I hadn't wasted my time watching "Mulholland Drive".
-
On a sort of related note (and sort of a hijack) how many movies have you walked out of (only counting movie theater, not movies that you turned off at home)? For me there have only been two (though far more deserving of it):
Mr. Holland's Opus
Closer
-
how many movies have you walked out of?
Be Cool (free tickets and we still walked....terrible movie)
40 Year Old Virgin (I didn't think it was very funny and my wife HATED it, so we left)
Walked out right before the end of Hollywood Homicide, not because it was bad (it WAS bad), but because my wife got sick.
-
Funny story about people walking away from a movie.
A friend and me went to the cinema on valentines day (our girlfriends were in France at the time). Ofcourse the cinema was crowded with young couples in romantic moods. So, most of the movies were sold out bar one "Event Horizon".
We went to the cinema specifically to see that one. Then the romantic couples filled the theatre that just bought tickets as their "romantic comedy" -of-choice was sold out; obviously totally oblivious to what type of movie Event Horizon is.
That evening I witnessed a lot of couples leaving the theatre, having the mood spoiled or even breaking up. Next time they should read the description first before they buy tickets!
I don't recall if I found the movie memorable because the movie itself or because of the audience.
-
I think Event Horizon just broke their fragile little minds. It's not a great movie, but it's good enough because of the mindf--- alone (and Sam Neill is always good when he's crazy).
-
That vampire vs werewolf flick. Unparalleled levels of suckage.
My girlfriend LIKES twilight! :S

I was thinking Underworld.
-
I'm almost positive I fell asleep through Alice in Wonderland the other day.
I know I did.
-
Bah you ---daisies---. Alice is wonderful visually. (hahah see what I did there?)
I don't walk out of movies. I paid for it.. I stick through it like a man! (except Spaced Invaders like I already mentioned)
-
fell asleep near the end of spawn, not cause of the movie but I had been awake for 40 or 50 hours at the time, me friend josh never lets me live it down. I fell asleep MULTIPLE times at one of the lord of the rings movies, I cant say which one, it was the one where there were battles going on for no apparent reason and 2 midgets walking and having a bromance.....that narrow it down?
I walked out of the Village and the Blair Witch. The village I figured out in like 11 minutes and the Blair Witch was ---smurfing--- stooooopid
-
Blair Witch was ---smurfing--- stooooopid
Or brilliant, depending on who you ask.
-
I had the chance to watch it online, but waited for the theatrical release.
Back then, video compression was kinda crappy anyway. Downloading movies was not as good as it is now.
-
idk, LOTR2 came out on the net about a week before it hit theatres, and it was crystal clear...
-

Yeah, but we're talking about Blair Witch which came out in 1999 (and if it was online two years before that, 1997). Video wasn't all that great and broadband wasn't as widespread yet, either.
-
I've never fallen asleep in a theater during a movie..
Although.. one time me and my fiance and some friends went to watch DOOM and it was about 3/4 into the movie and was on a really quiet/silent scene and out of nowhere my fiance says out loud "..heyy is that the rock?" and everyone turned around and started snickering and making comments and I looked at her said you got to be kidding.. what movie were you watching this whole time? She then told me she had been asleep.. then she decided to go back to sleep again. Now everytime we all go to the movies with that same group of friends.. someone always has to shout that out during a movie which is really annoying.
The only movie I ever walked out on because of dislike: Vanilla Sky
-
Be Cool (free tickets and we still walked....terrible movie)
40 Year Old Virgin (I didn't think it was very funny and my wife HATED it, so we left)
Be Cool was the worst movie I have ever seen. Wife rented it and it was so bad, I felt compelled to finish it just so I could b*tch at her for renting a turd of that magnitude. :puke
On the other hand, I love 40 Year Old Virgin...mainly the supporting people at the electronics store.
-
I figured on it being an exaggeration, but went along with it anyway. The point remains that in 1999, downloaded movies didn't look great. They were improving, but it was before the DVD boom (it was here, it just hadn't taken off yet) and we didn't have such nice sources (though some of my laserdisc rips looked good).
-
I have never walked out of a movie. I have slept through maybe 2, but those were kid movies I didn't have high expectations for anyway and was there for my kids...
-
I don't "go to the movies" anymore. They are annoying venues and overly expensive. (Or maybe I am becoming more anti-social with my old old old age {one estimate puts me at 50 years old}). There is one movie I wished I could have either slept through or walked out on; Spiderman 2. That movie sucked. For a movie that is supposed to be a Marvel/action deal, there was way too much back story and unneeded dialogue. Yes, I GET that it is based off of the "graphic novel" and those DO have a lot of story elements, but at the same time anyone who goes to see such a movie already (1) Knows the back story and wants to see Spidey kick some ass or (2) doesn't know about the story and most likely only went to see a cool action flick.
-
Haven't walked out of a movie yet. Like Ray said 'I paid for it' ;D
I did see an 'arty' movie at a Dutch film festival with my mum once, where everyone one else walked out, leaving only us! It was some arty Dutch movie, but with french dialog. I can't recall at all what it was called, or about. On the bright side, we saw a brilliant comedy called Abel :)

Did you mean to say Spider-man 3? Spidey 2 was AWESOME.
-
Not only that, but Spiderman 2 was an enormous success, both critically and commercially, which detracts from your "most people" argument. Maybe it's simply not a movie targeted at 50-year-olds.

Yeah, for someone looking for an action film I can't imagine a better choice than 2001 . . . :P
-
I've heard of plenty of people walking out and getting their money back. Just talk to management.
-
You've got that backward. The ticket is a sunk cost. Every minute of the movie is a prospective cost, or future cost.
-
It's a sunk cost the moment you hand your money to the person at the ticket counter. You misunderstand the concept.
-
If you can get a refund it's not a sunk cost. Usually you cannot get a refund and anybody who refunds a movie because you didn't like it is sort of a moron. Movie theaters don't guarantee that all the movies they show will be good.
The fact that you can watch another movie is the same as the fact that you can go to sleep or leave. It doesn't change the fact that the movie ticket is a sunk cost. It just illustrates the concept of basing economic decisions on future costs rather than sunk costs, i.e., don't stay in this movie just because you paid for it, that just increases the loss on your investment.
To make my point especially clear, even if you buy a ticket for The Bounty Hunter, but then you realize your mistake early enough to change theaters and watch How to Train Your Dragon, and you leave the theater perfectly ecstatic about your moviegoing experience, the ticket was still a sunk cost all along. Or even if you never even went to The Bounty Hunter, but rather walked up, bought a ticket for HtTYD, watched the movie, loved it, left, the ticket was STILL a sunk cost.
-
Ive never fallen asleep during a film.
Ive known a few people that cant watch movies or TV without falling
asleep... and from what I speculate, is that they have ADD.
-
When movie tickets are used as examples of sunk costs, why do you think they make it explicitly clear that you cannot get a refund or use watch another movie with the same ticket?
Type all you want, you misused the term.
LMAO . . . Being kind of a spaz today? I've never seen movie tickets used as an example of sunk costs before I used it as an example today. I don't exactly find myself in the position of having someone explain to me what sunk costs are on a regular basis, though. Anyway, from BusinessDictionary.com (http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/sunk-cost.html):
Money already spent and permanently lost. Sunk costs are past opportunity costs that are partially (as salvage, if any) or totally irretrievable and, therefore, should be considered irrelevant to future decision making. This term is from the oil industry where the decision to abandon or operate an oil well is made on the basis of its expected cash flows and not on how much money was spent in drilling it. Also called embedded cost, prior year cost, stranded cost, or sunk capital.

THing about walking out... how do you know a movie won't pick up later? How do you know there's isnt a good scene you'd like? You might miss the DEATH BLOW! ;D Or lets face it, sounds like some of you have wives who get easily offended and apparently they carry your balls in their purse. hee hee
One movie I WISHED I slept through was Coyote Ugly. OH man, was that movie mis-advertised. THe trailers made it look like it would have hot chicks getting crazy in a bar, and then WHAM! It's a chick flick about some girl's music ambitions and love life. Aaaaagggghhhh!
PS: I think I've heard that here in Ontario movie theatres will refund money up to 30 minutes into a movie.
-
how do you know a movie won't pick up later?
It is often pretty obvious.

Yeah, I'm not going to continue wasting time on a bad movie. When it got to the, "Look everyone, it's a performance by The Blackeyed Peas" segment in Be Cool, I knew there was no chance the movie would redeem itself. We walked out at that very moment.
-
It's features prominently on the wiki page you linked. ::)
Looks like you caught me. Now everyone knows that I didn't learn about sunk costs from Wikipedia.
The ticket is a sunk cost. Even if you switch to a different movie, so long as the decision was made because you want to get your money's worth, you were making a decision on the basis of sunk costs. If you switched theaters because there happens to be a movie that you really want to see and you think it's worth your time, you are making a decision based on the value of that movie vis-a-vis the next two hours of your life, in which case your decision was based on prospective costs.
-
LMAO . . . I just read the stuff on Wikipedia regarding ticket prices. :laugh2: WTF is your point? Is confirms in no uncertain terms exactly what I've been saying. Exactly. Classic.
-
Postcards from the edge.
Got sore ribs the day later as I was snoring so loud, my gf was trying to prod me awake.
I slept on later in the film.
-

Here they allow you 30 minutes to get a ticket refund. Most times, 30 minutes has passed before you give up hope :duckhunt
The only times i've gone to get refunds were when i was so late to the movie, the seating was right at the front and to one side. Also one time it was an open captions movie...

I used to be employed at a movie theater back in high school (2002) for about a year, and the only way you were able to get a refund is if you asked for one no longer than 45 mins. into the movie.. and your excuse had to be something other than you didn't like the movie. (got an emergency phone call, kid is throwing up, etc..)
Oh how I hated that job.. and the clowns running it. I remember when that Finding Nemo movie came to our theater, management thought it would be a good idea to do a promotional thing by giving the kids a free goldfish in a bag before going in to watch the movie. WHY BEFORE?? The next couple days the theater smelled like rotten fish and we were the ones finding nemo.. everywhere. So many memories.
NEVER DO THESE THINGS AT THE THEATER:
1. Eat the popcorn. We were trained to clean the inside of the popcorn machine and kettle with just a bottle of windex. Not only that but at the end of the day when we would empty it out, there would always be prizes at the bottom (hair, rubberband, cockroach, dead fly, etc.) Just don't eat anything from the theater, too expensive and you can totally just buy outside food/candy and bring it in. (I would say "sneak" it in but there's really no sneaking involved since they don't pat you down, check your jacket, wifes purse, etc. It's just too easy to call sneak)
2. Assume that the theater is at Grade A. We had a really bad rat problem and when the inspectors came they gave us a D. After they posted the letter grade on the wall and left, manager asked us to move the soda machine in front of it. Look for the grade.
3. Say no you don't want your receipt. In the concession stand they are required to ask if you want your receipt or not, say YES, especially if you're paying in cash because there was a few employees there who would keep the receipts then just void the transaction and pocket it.. I remember a few of them made a $100 a day using this method and it only took them a couple voided transactions, being that it costs an exact $40 (no tax) for the usual family popcorn deal.
4. Ask the ushers to help you look for whatever you dropped during the movie. The ushers would always find peoples wallets, cell phones, handheld video game devices, and it was finders keepers. I'm sure there are good people out there, just saying don't give them your phone number and expect them to call you saying they found your wedding ring. They never called anyone!
5. Save your 3D glasses for next time. Done this thinking I will outsmart the theaters $2 3Dglasses fee because I brought my own but then I looked like an idiot when they told me I still had to pay the stupid fee because its a 3D fee or some nonsense.
I've been one-upping that movie theater ever since. My friend still works there and I haven't paid to watch a movie to this very day UNLESS it was worth seeing a second time in a better theater or 3D IMAX. I only pay for the ones that I feel deserve it. One day I'm going to make a list of all the movies I've watched there for free and tally up a total of how much money they lost to ME and I hope that it's a great loss! ..hope rides alone
-
Shmokes, when I said The Village was predictable, I meant that the ending was predictable. The movie got stupid as soon as you noticed the damn sneakers. His movies are predictable to the point that you can figure out how it ends about 1/3 of the way in. Ever see the Robot Chicken sketch? yeah, it's like that. It gets ---smurfing--- stupid and predictable after the fourth or fifth movie you've seen.
That vampire vs werewolf flick. Unparalleled levels of suckage.
My girlfriend LIKES twilight! :S
I was thinking Underworld.
Yeah, that's the movie. I was speaking of Underworld. It was like simultaneously watching a dog pinching a loaf and watching wet paint peel.
Speaking of movies where people got up and left. I remember when I saw ID4. A bunch of guys and myself waited in line for a few hours playing MTG on July 3, waiting for midnight. The theater was so packed, that they brought in plastic chairs for people to sit in the isle. It was hilarious. It first started with a group of about three or four kids who sat at the front of the theater. They freaked out as soon as the first UFO appeared and rushed back to sit with their parents (as it were). Then about twenty or twentyfive people got up and left (including the parents and freaked kids) when the UFO blew the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- out of the White House. By the end of the movie, about half the theater cleared out. Apparently blowing the ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- out of the White House, killing the president's wife, choking Data, and laying waste to civilization as we know it was too much for too many people. Meh. ---smurfing--- pansies. :dunno
-
The next couple days the theater smelled like rotten fish and we were the ones finding nemo.. everywhere.
:lol :laugh2:
I never slept through a movie in theater. I really dont know how that works.
I walked out on some to watch another movie tho.
-
3. Never say you don't want your receipt.
I've NEVER been asked if I wanted a receipt EVER at any movie theater.
Never save your 3D glasses for next time. Done this thinking I will outsmart the theaters $2 3Dglasses fee because I brought my own but then I looked like an idiot when they told me I still had to pay the stupid fee because its a 3D fee or some nonsense.
Yes, the fee isn't for the glasses, it's for the 3D upgrades to the theater. The new screen and projectors aren't cheap.
-

There's always the possibility, however remote, that they were just leaving because that movie is so utterly, intolerably awful.
-
Plus, most the employees are high school kids and it's nice to see them taking some initiative to increase their hourly wage.
-
3. Say no you don't want your receipt. In the concession stand they are required to ask if you want your receipt or not, say YES, especially if you're paying in cash because there was a few employees there who would keep the receipts then just void the transaction and pocket it.
So what? You got your popcorn, the money is the theater's problem.
I don't believe this anyway - movie theaters make all their money on concessions. I've never heard of a place that wasn't counting everything hourly to make sure stuff wasn't walking out of there. You can't count the kernels, but you can sure as hell count the bags and cups.
I worked at a grocery store as a kid. We had to get a manager to do voids for the very reason mentioned here.

Haha you don't believe this, as if I just wasted my time making it up.. your not going to like this but if I MUST explain this to you.. They would actually have the ushers bring them the empty popcorn buckets/soda cups that people leave in the theater to the back door of the concession stand. In the back room they would wash them out then store them in this spot in the corner of the ceiling where the tile lifted up. Then all they would have to do is just take back the receipts they voided and pull down whatever they sold and add it to the inventory. Also they split some of the money with the ushers. Like I said before it didn't take a genious to keep track of the money since there was no tax and pretty much all the prices are set at high dollar amounts. Oh and they didn't count it hourly, they only counted the buckets and cups at the end of the night when closing up.
So it is your problem, because you just paid some kid $20 to eat popcorn and drink soda that came from the trash.
MODED!

Never heard the term ever. When (and where) were you a kid?
Born in 1984, been living in CA pretty much my whole life. Not really sure how the word came about but I first heard in school sometime around '93.. and I know for a fact it wasn't something just in my school because I said it jokingly with a guy my age from work and he was like "daang I haven't heard that word since back in the day."
haha check this out http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=moded (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=moded)
lol the examples given are hilarious

I grew up in Utah. I remember when everyone used that term in school (though I'd never seen it written and wouldn't have made the connection if Ginsu hadn't questioned it). It is the direct equivalent of Owned or Pwned.
-
It is the direct equivalent of Owned or Pwned.
I understand that from how it was used. It just wasn't a term I'd ever heard used, especially in Oklahoma or Texas.
-
The ones my group overused as kids were "skills!" and "sweet!" in a sarcastic manner.
haha skills! I remember that.
Yeh I don't know if that system is goin on anywhere else today.. (highly doubt it) Just that fact though that I actually witnessed it when I was working there was enough to make me never want to buy soda or popcorn from any theater ever again.
I just remembered one movie I did pay for in IMAX that I was on the edge of my seat about to walk out on was Transformers Revenge of the Fallen.. As soon as those 2 racially profiled robots with the gold tooth started cursing and talkin all that noise.. I was furious that I paid for the midnight showing. By the way, did someone already start a topic on how bad that movie was..? because if not..
-
You know what the main problem I'm starting to detect here with you guys who need to walk out of movies? You have horrible judgement. ;D Take that last post about Transformers 2. Come on. I knew to avoid that turd just based on the fact that the first movie stank and the trailers for #2 did nothing to sway me.
It's pretty easy to avoid turds. Just look for Michael Bay's name.
-
Haha I have horrible judgement because I liked transformers when I was a kid.
I only went because I liked Transformers growing up
-
As soon as those 2 racially profiled robots with the gold tooth started cursing and talkin all that noise.
You need to look up the definition of racial profiling.
