On Vox: QotD: Have You Ever Walked Out of a Movie?
Have you ever walked out of a movie?
Submitted by Jack Yan.
This is a lot of why I never see movies in theaters: because if a rental sucks, I can just turn it off and I'm out a couple bucks. If a movie in a theater sucks, I'm out about 15 bucks after snacks and all that. Really, I've never walked out of a movie in a theater. The last movie I just couldn't finish, though, was "CSA." The potential was there for it to be a brilliant comedy. Unfortunately, the lack of any interesting thought made it come off like Democratic Party propaganda against southerners. The movie, while pretty openly condemning racism, displayed a lot of very similar prejudices itself. I made it about halfway through before deciding to save my brain and turning it off. And if I decide a movie is rotting my brain, it must be pretty bad.
