Although I have not seen this (nor will I ever - even with Netflix flowing through my bloodstream), there have been countless films that have urged me to literally leave early without finishing. A few are...
Mr. and Mrs. Smith - full of every cliched sequence and bit of dialogue we've all seen countless times - in addition it to dragging on for what seemed like an eternity.
Land of the Dead - I lasted maybe 20 minutes. Why?... Consider the title.
Wedding Crashers - Despite the majority of the folks enjoying this, I found nothing funny about it.
The Island - I left probably only minutes before the ending as it was more exciting to insert my own...
You see, I am taking the summer off to complete a writing project. My days begin by dropping my girfriend off at the train station for her commute to Boston. From there, I make my way to my neighborhood Barnes & Noble to write for maybe 3 hours. I then have to kill a ton of time before I have to pick her up at the train station later in the evening (as we live a half-hour away from it and it's just easier to stay in the general vicinity) - so, I either end up in a theater or visiting my sister. With that, I've seen a goodly amount of movies.
But what keeps me up at night is why I actually leave the theaters prior to the closing credits in the first place... Is it that I am cursed to never appreciate another film again, or is it that there truly are some pretty awful films out there?
Okay, I've gotta split. Heading off to a 3:15 Dukes of Hazzard.
