I threw my hands up in despair and stormed out- movie and/or show moments with which we just couldn't deal...

I was literally praying for God to toss a spare lightning bolt my way during that. I swear that must be one those movies that has to be watched while you're stoned, and since that ain't my thing, I never needed to see it.
Spidey 3 was bad. Sony made Raimi shoehorn in Venom, which is a character that deserved to be the sole bad guy, but the rest of movie was just Raimi's fault. The jazz/dance scenes could have been lost, Sandman could have been better developed, Bruce Campbell wasn't funny(and I've been a fan of his since Brisco), and the Peter/Mary Jane stuff was ripped out of one of Raimi's earlier projects "For Love of the Game" down to the "Are you there?" on the answering machine. After the triumph of the second one the third one really deserved to be made by someone that wasn't sick of the material.
I wanted to start a cheering section for Titanic during DiCaprio's death scene, but didn't have enough friends with me.
As for The Fifth Element, the only thing I would have changed would be to add a Chris Tucker death scene. Something nice and painful.
Saw the first Matrix at the base theater same day I saw Knotting Hill. Was blown away completely by the Matrix, but I'm happy that I skipped paying to see the sequels. As for Knotting Hill, that movie belonged to Hugh Grant's flatmate.
Oh, and the latest would be the film version of Phantom - I hate broadway musicals anyway, and I had no idea that I was being dragged to see a film version of one. During the graveyard scene I almost yelled out, "GUT him you moron! Oh, no, they're singing AGAIN!"
I’m never serious. Serious means something bad is about to happen.

I HATE that movie!!
And Spider-man 3 was awful, they tried to do too much. And the guy from that 70's show playing Eddie Brock was just wrong.
I sooooo wanted to walk out on Ghost Rider, that movie could have been awesome.

I can’t believe you guys are dissing Napoleon Dynamite. That movie is a surreal exposition into the lives of complete losers.

Bad time to say I actually liked Napolean Dynamite, eh? Ha ha. *is loser*. Out of everyone I know who saw it, they either LOVED it or hated it. There was no happy medium.
And I couldn't agree more about the Saw movies. Over rated. I saw the first one and was not impressed. I think it gives sick people ideas, IMO however I'm not against in the making of them. I'm also one of the 5% of people who thought Hostel was worse. (blood-torture terms) There was something about it that made me go "OMFG!! THEY ACTUALLY MADE THIS?!"
"Saw" seemed a little too...extreme...ly...fake. Hostel was made to look like it could actually happen.
And eff the Matrix Movies. Snore. LoL.

YES!!! THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA is the worst movie of 2004. My hatred for that film speaks volumes.
Also, completely agree with you on NAPOLEON DYNAMITE. Not once did I laugh or think it was an awesome flick that defines a generation. Especially in comparison to Fox Searchlight's other summer sleeper GARDEN STATE.
I cringe whenever I see a "Vote for Pedro" sticker or t-shirt.
And same for Chris Tucker in FIFTH ELEMENT. He was one of the worser things about that movie. Really overrated and pales in comparison to Luc Besson's earlier flick LEON THE PROFESSIONAL.
But I disagree with REQUIEM FOR A DREAM. If you see it in the theater, it's an amazing movie that really hits you and makes you want to swear off aspirin, let alone drugs legal or illegal. You want to scare teens off of drugs, show them that.

Ditto on Matrix 3.
Didn't actually go see The Hills Have Eyes in the theater, but my friend rented it - I just about hit him in the eye for making me watch it. What disgusting slop that movie was.
I was pissed that I wasted my money on Solaris.

I still wish Lucas had never done his prequels...they were all a HUGE disappointment.
Ewan McGregor was the only shiny thing about those awful films.
But my 7 year old boy loves them

Thank You! I thought I was the only one who noticed Manakin's Frankenstein's monster impression! That monent ruined pretty much the entire saga for me, though, the new Jedi interceptors looked AWSOME!

I rarely walk out of a film, for a number of reasons. However, I will amend this topic during my post to the second half of the title.
Titanic - Real world research on the Titanic found for the first time the real cause of the sinking, which had been refuted since the Court of Inquiry. This occurred during filming, and well before completion of filming. However, Cameron refused to accurately portray the cause - this could have been the first time in the history of all the Titanic films to have complete accuracy, and he blew it. The actual cause had already been stated in the Court of Inquiry, and was stated by the Primary Engineer on the crew of the shipbuilder in Scotland. Then the filmakers blab ad nauseum about how the deck chairs and flatware were so accurate, when they all knew they completely falsified the cause of the sinking. Duh!
Thin Red Line - Sean Penn pretending to act, takes his helmet off in combat to show off his hippie hair while pretneding to portray a soldier or Marine, because his hair is the only way he can relate to a character or pretend to be somebosy else - different hairstyle. whooo. An "actor" who can't suffer a haircut to portray a role isn't worth spit.
Likewise, anything with will smith - the fresh Prince of the Marine Airwing meets Aliens, The fresh Prince of Men in Black, Fresh Prince of Miami Vice, blah blah blah.

Sadly, I watched a new ep of Stargate Sunday- because it had Morena in it. I lasted about 10 minutes- it was like a *R*E*A*L*L*Y*, really bad episode from the 3rd year of original Star Trek-- space ships and power surges and people beaming up and beaming down. All it lacked was dilithium crystals failing.

Dude, what was wrong with the Fifth Element? Should it have been in French?
Well it was too camp for my blood.
Gary Oldman does his usual overacting hammy thing.
The whole film looks like a bad doodle and the art direction dated as it went along.
The costumes are too visually strident and take you out of the story.
I've never been able to fully disengage reality when large aliens become human subjects and are considerably smaller than there alien mass. I know it's petty but that has always irked me when I see that.
Plus the Aliens are poorly designed. Nothing inventive about them.
Finally a paroxide Bruce Willis!
Plus points are:
Nice martial arts from Mila (no I don't find her attractive, but I liked her physicality with the martial arts)
Bryon James, Lee Evans, Charlie Creed-Miles and Ian Holm.
Sorry to be such a misery but I just didn't 'get' this film. Just one of those things.
And I like Luc Besson - The Big Blue is just beautiful. If you have the chance watch it!
