It was actually the spoon down the throat that did me in.
I was in college; working at the local "art house" theater at the time. So many underage kids wanted to get in, thinking the NC-17 rating meant it was porn. The ones that did get in....boy were they surprised.
PARENTHOOD (to sneak into SEA OF LOVE)
THREE MEN AND A BABY (to sneak into a horror movie of some sort -- I think it was HELLRAISER)
Nice ones. I told my parents I was seeing "She's Having a Baby" and went to see "Serpent and the Rainbow." Got grounded for two weeks. Always remember to throw away those ticket stubs.

THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW rocks, so I'm sure it was well worth the consequences.
I've never walked out on a movie. I paid for this ticket and by god, I'm gonna get my money's worth even if I have to be miserable doing it.
You and me, Emily. I tell myself that even watching a crappy film teaches me something of value, but really, it's because I'm too tight to waste a ticket.
Having said that, my daughter and I walked out of the Nancy Drew remake a few years ago, only because she was freaking out and the sound was terrible. Crackly, and fading in and out... So we left.
If I remember correctly there was a shot in the film during a scene when a dog was chasing a cat and -- I swear to god -- it was a p.o.v. shot from the cat's butt. You could see the cat's tail at the top of the screen and the dog coming right at you.
