Have you ever been to a movie so terrible that you saw people leaving the theater? Which one was it?

I went to a free screening of Mixed Nuts in college. I was one of many people who walked out, and I think Steve Martin himself wouldn’t blame me.
I saw Brokeback Mountain when it first came out, and during the first homosexual scene I saw several angry boyfriends dragging their dates out of the theater. I feel like every one of them had a ball cap on.
We didn’t walk out of Ultraviolet, but when we left, the whole theater staff was there to see our reaction to how bad it was. They told me I owed my date dinner.
Society wasn't ready for Brokeback Mountain. It was important because of that though.
Ultraviolet falls into campy sci fi that I love like Equilibrium.
Oh man... Equilibrium. I remember the first time I saw that. "Are they actually doing some sort of weird close up gun kung-fu?"
And yes, I did say the first time. I'm totally with you.
Oh yeah, they're both great! And Aeon Flux too. And by "great" I mean "shit" but I love 'em.
Oh yeah I'm a sucker for campy SciFi too. I ironically loved it when it came out, but I was much younger; it probably doesn't hold up as well anymore.
Ahhh there it is. Ultraviolet is the only movie I've ever walked out on!
Who goes into Brokeback Mountain not knowing it's a gay thing. That was HEAVILY advertised (and due to the culture of America at the time, mocked as well)
