Unfinished Films

[The Mothman]

ever stopped watching a film for some reason and never got to finish it? post some movies you never got to finish and why.

Zombie Night: couldnt take it any longer:mad: )
Flesheater: lost the DVD
A Taste Of Blood: far too slow
She Devils On Wheels: was watching with my buddies.....buddies wanted to see titties...no titties. i wanna finish it sometime though.

[Disease]

Yeah thers heaps, though I have never walked out at the cinema, but sometimes when your at home things come up, or it's late and you fall asleep, or your drunk and you don't remember what happened. No title comes straight to mind, so I guess I haven't missed anything spectacular.

[Disease]

This is like finding an abandoned town or something, but they may turn against us in the end.

Oh, now this, this is something, this is a big problem with me. I will put a film on and it'll be decent but I'll get distracted or I will walk away during a quiet moment. Or I will start doing something while watching the movie, and I stop paying attention. However this happens, I end up being in the room while the film is playing, but I don't attentively "watch" the entire film. Now there are dozens of movies where I know basically how they start and end, but lots of little bits in the middle, I have never seen. Who knows how many lovely little things I have missed.

I recently got "S Club: Seeing Double" and actually sat down and made a point of watching the whole thing. Start to finish, I have watched it. It's trash, but it's decent trash. It's the kind of trash I like a lot.

[crabapple]

I will sit still for S Club. That is some fun stuff.

No, they're old...a dancing/singing group created by the Spice Girls producers. They did some TV shows and a movie, most of it was not seen in the US but they did light comedy mixed with danceable pop music.

Man you have described me as well. I do this exact thing. I will get ready to watch a movie, can't wait to see it usually, then I will end up looking around on the internet from the laptop which just happens to be in front of the TV and I will miss so much of the movie. Did this just last night with One Missed Call and am actually doing it right now with another movie.

Yea I was wondering how long it would take you to respond to my post. Sorry man I didn't lose interest because it wasn't good, I lost it because the internet made me do it. Unfortunately I do not know anything about the end. I saw parts of it but don't understand it because I wasn't focused. last place I remember watching it good was the live television broadcast they did of that one girl

[Amalthea_unicorn]

I fell asleep twice, while watching the first Godfather movie, and haven't seen it for years.

[Angra]

It has happenened to me with a lot of Asian action/thrillers.

I either fall asleep or lose interest/focus within the first 30 minutes and then i never get around to watch them again.

Most recently, we tried watching Hitch. We got tired and went to bed halfway through, then when we tried to fire it up again (we were doing the free Vongo trial), it said it was corrupt, and we had to re-download the whole thing to try and get back th where we were. The movie wasnt worht the effort, and we cancelled vongo immediately (it is AWFUL, and their selection sucks. Hard.)

[The_Return]

None.

Im the kind of person that watches a film beginning to end no matter how bad it is. If I get interupted partway through, I'll go back to it ASAP. The only movie that Ive actually turned off because it was so bad was Jigsaw, but eventually I did go back and finish it.

One exception - If I fall asleep during a crappy movie, I usually wont bother rewinding it. I might watch the last 15 min. or so when I wake up, but if I wasnt enjoying it I dont waste time trying to find where I left off.

[The_Return]

i used to be that way with books...

until i read King/Strawbs Dark House
tossed that piece of junk soon after i started.

Im the polar opposite with books...if it doesnt grab me in the first 20-30 pages, its gone.

Me too.

I blame Straub.

[Phalanx]

Fire Down Below.
Walk out.

[The Mothman]

The Protector.
walked out.

[crabapple]

"I Know What You Did Last Summer." Stopped the movie about 25 minutes into it.

"You know what, hon? It would be wrong to watch the rest of this movie."

In went an old favorite, "Something Wicked This Way Comes." Like vintage wine.

[newb]

I'll give a movie twenty minutes or so...if it doesn't grab me by then its gone.

[Haunted]

I couldn't force myself through Dark Water or Slither (why I even bothered with that one in the first place is beyond me).

Slither was great IMO

[The Flayed One]

99% of the time this happens to me, it's because I'm watching it with other people and I walk out of the room to do something else because they annoy me. I just have certain movie watching rituals that I can't break otherwise I can't enjoy the movie. For instance, watching a flick with my father. I always have enough to drink to last me through a movie beside me. He has to get up four or five times during a movie to get another drink and it completely distracts me.

Every now and then, though, this happens because I'll borrow/buy a movie and it has a bad place in it. I have so many movies I need to watch that by the time I replace it it's normally moved way down my list.

[Haunted]

Slither was great IMO

Really? Slither? Well, I own it, so I'll give it another go. I sort of trust your inclinations, Newb. However, I don't think I can try and sit through Dark Water again. Also, if I remember correctly, I think that you didn't really care for that film either.

[Master]

Every Asian horror movie that I have ever attempted to watch.

[The_Return]

Just remembered one while I was glancing through "Last Seen Movie":

It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World

Rented it along with a few other films, a foolishly put it off until the day before it was due back. Watched some of it the night before I had to return it and it seemed OK, but I was way to tired to watch a nearly 3 hour movie.

I got the DVD for my dad for Christmas though, we'll have to give 'er another shot.

[BlackSunProductions]

I still haven't finished The Da Vinci Code. Howard's movie butchered the book...and now he's doing Angels & Demons. Bruckheimer would have done it so much better.

[the_real_linda]

really??? angels and demons was a better book in my opinion tho
