I walked out of my first movie tonight...

[bmacd]

We went and saw Anchorman tonight at the theater. About 20 minutes in, the movie messed up and the screen went solid white and the movie stopped. We debated leaving at that point, but gave the rest of the movie the benefit of the doubt considering it was already slow and boring.

Unfortunately, it didn't get any better and we left about an hour in. Don't waste your money or time.

You can get a refund because of the malfunction. Consider it.

He plays a pretty good convict with homosexual tendencies in Starsky and Hutch, though.

the only time I had a movie malfunction was during Raiders of the Lost Ark. right when Indy opens the book to show the gov guys what the ark is, the film melted. as a 10 year old child I was devastated! my bro and I whined so much my mom took us to the ghetto theater down the road, the only other place where it was playing.

I liked Dodgeball much better, and Old School is even better than that.

When my friends and I went to see Kill BIll Vol. 2 the movie cut out twice, both times for 10-15 minutes. They didn't give us jack.

Yeah i saw it too, and i only laughed at a couple of parts. Namely the ones with Steve Carell, he played a funny retard. I LOVE LAMP!!!!!

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

I saw it too. I wanted to walk out, but I didn't have anything else better to do so I suffered through the rest of the movie. >_<

That's not saying much. Dodgeball was mildly amusing. Even Dodgeball got me to crack a smile -even if it was just once.

You watched a blank white screen for 40 minutes. Hell, I would have left after 20 minutes of that.

Dude..Old School is/was far better than Anchorman. No debating that.

I went last night too, and kept looking at my wife, and asking to leave... I sat through the whole monstrosity. Was originally out to see I-Robot, but that theatre was packed...

 

[Pudgygiant]

You should have waited for the fight scene. That was freaking hilarious.

you weren't pushy enough. The best way to get places in this country is to be an annoying a-hole.

Some people would rather be more mature and civilized than lower themselves and their self-respect just to get the cost of a movie ticket back.

yeah. sad, but yeah.

when I saw The Matrix for the first time, the projector broke down right in the middle of the Neo-Agent Smith fight scene (they're in the subway, with their guns pointed at eachother and both out of bullets... then the screen burns up and turns white). my friend's girlfriend harrassed the manager into giving everyone 2 free tickets (one to see the movie again, and one to make up for the experience).

You know you're at a theater with good service when they actually apologize for their AC being out and they immediately say they will offer rainchecks/vouchers if you can't sit through. Its too bad that the phenomenon of the old school hometown theater is kinda dying off with "megaplexes" taking their place.
