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

we... suffer for our love of the genre!
genuinely storming out of a movie (i do it, like, a LOT)is great cathartic fun!:0
also - throwing things at the tv screen
and so - combining the two... i give you - ladies and gentlemen -
The Planet of the Apes remake.

Apparently there are some people who make a point of walking out upon hearing the title of a film if it's mentioned in the dialogue.
That's getting your money's worth. Not.

I keep trying to remember the name of the movie, but for the life of me, I can't... it wasn't the movie that did it however.
It was the sickeningly expensive tickets, overpriced popcorn, watered down soda... all of which you tolerate for the experience, instead of waiting for the DVD, which I normally do...
And then, take your cramped, uncomfortable, squash in as many as possible seat in anticipation of seeing maybe a couple cool previews before the main feature...
And suddenly, in spite of the highway robbery of the ticket and condiments counter, that's not enough for their greed, because you (cue fanfare) then get assaulted with... COMMERCIALS.
Fuck, if I wanted to deal with commercial adverts I would GO HOME AND WATCH TV!
Never saw the movie, walked out on the spot, too pissed to even demand the money back, and blacklisted the theatre in question.
That was the moment I couldn't deal - the only other time I can remember walking out on a flick was Black Moon Rising, since every preview and advert focused entirely on the car (using, apparently, every single second of it's presence in the flick, perhaps more than once) and it's only used IN the movie for maybe 30 seconds at the end... walked out about 45 minutes into it, rabidly angry about being lied to over the whole premise of the movie.
Can ya tell i'm not generally pleased with hollywood anymore ?

I'm with ya on the theatre experience, unless it's a comedy- like we saw Bee Movie the other week- much better with an audience. But the popcorn and watered down Coke cost more than the tickets

theater experience depends on the flick. SOME comedies should be seen in the theater with other people, because the atmosphere some how makes the movie funnier, other people laugh, you laugh with them; it works. same thing with the adrenaline-rush type movies; some of them need to be seen on the big screen so you can get the full effect. Fortunately the theater nearby isn't cramped, no matter how many people are packed in there you still have enough room to move around :-P otherwise I'd never go, lol.
btw, what is Black Moon Rising? (has never heard of it)

It is as bad as they say. My one solace is that I saw it on video and mercifully not the cinema. However it is bad!

I didn't think ANYTHING could be that bad.

Oh I've actually seen movies on par or worse with Ep1.
no wonder I haven't heard of Black Moon Rising, it was made in 1986. I wasn't BORN in 1986. but jeez, read the synopsis, even the synopsis sounds bad *shudders* what was tommy lee thinking?

I'd be the first to say that I'm an obsessive fan of Doctor Who and, admittingly, Utopia and The Sound of Drums are the best build-up I've seen for a long time.
So what the heck happened to Last of the Time Lords. Seriously! WTF? I can suspend reality with the best of them but honestly, the Space Jesus thing?
So not happy and am refusing to acknowledge its existance beyond my bitching. I can think of several better endings to that story-line.
