I've never been so disappointed by a guy I used to halfway admire (Ben Stein) in my life. I just don't tolerate being lied to, and I sure as hell won't pay $7.50 to give a bunch of creationist nut-jobs the opportunity to do so.

I can kinda relate to Eyes Wide Shut. Kubrick at his usual ponderous self. (Only he could make a movie about kinky sex seem dull.) But the movie did have a few high points, so I stuck it out.

Mainly, the woman who "saves" Cruise at the sex club...
LeeLee Sobrinski (sp?)
and the soundtrack...

One of these days, (when I'm particularly masochistic) I may try watching it again... but only if it's the european version, without all the CGI people standing in the way of the fucking. (total cop-out on Kubrick's part, to allow that kind of image manipulation in the first place.)

         If you rent a movie, and it blows, do you watch all the way to the end?

I don't usually walkout of movies, with ticket prices the way they are.   I nearly walked out of the Halloween remake.(why Rob why?)

I forget if there were 2 or 3 Pokemon movies that my son at the time HAD TO SEE and I napped.  Hideous, god-awful dreck.  I felt like the world's best mom leaving the theater for actually not dragging him out of the theater after 5 minutes of Pikachu!

Is it sad that I am young enough that I saw those three Pokemon Movies that were in theaters.

The ability to start and stop a movie at will is definatly a factor, as is the ability to walk away and do something else. The movie will definatly be on the whole time.
