I walked out of New York Stories in 1989. It was boring and teenage me could find other stuff to do. Haven't walked out of anything since that I recall. Not opposed to walking out but particularly nowadays I am pretty selective about what I'll pay theater prices to see.

During the week, it's 12$ a ticket and I'll just get a coffee for 2$ usually.
this is how I can see so many movies (I see way less now though. There was a time I was seeing 60 movies a year on average). I'm lucky to see 2 a month now.

"Sorry hon, Riley is scared, I'll take him to Potbelly's until the movie ends. Enjoy the film!" And out the door I went. I was a GREAT dad that day.
This is how Bruce Wayne's parents got killed.

Our theaters upgraded to the fancy seats with reserved tickets. A bit of a pain in the neck though the experience is better. That said, theaters are competing against movies that magically appear at your house and play on a screen that's a higher resolution than theirs. The film producers take a big slice of their revenue. It's a hard business to be in.

I've never walked out on a movie, since I would only really do so if it was way offensive. I'm pretty good at researching enough to figure out if I'll hit that point before I ever get to the theater.

Whoa, you're already there?! I would love to see a dedicated thread with some pics. The Philippines seems like a crazy, interesting place.

This is a great idea! So far I have mostly stayed in the Manila's urban sprawl, and I've not made it to anything truly impressive yet. Hopefully we make it out either into the city to see the sights, or out of the city to see something less crowded.
Actually I've connected with a Filipino board gaming group already. Haven't been able to make it to an event yet, but soon I hope.
