I walked out of the Tintin movie as soon as it started to diverge from the comic. I'm not usually an adaptation snob but I'll own it for Tintin.

No where else I can think to post this, but I was watching my DVD of Sunshine and this preview was on it.
One of the hardest teaser trailers I’ve ever seen, and it’s for a complete dog shit movie. Just amazing how they took a minute and made it fucking beautiful, for a movie no one even remembers happened.
Even sandler himself hates it, hes never really brought it up as far as I know of. Kind of like Kevin Harts godawful airplane movie thing that I watched, and personally I have seen the movie click over 30 times and I just never laugh thinking about any of the jokes in that movie ever I can just remember everything that happens off by heart kind of.
But bar none the worst media experience I had was when I walked out of the space jam 2 movie because it was just too cringe.

That movie was one of the biggest disappointments in my entire history of watching movies. Never should have been made. The time to have done a dumb and dumber sequel was the late 90s at the very latest and it should have stuck with a similar formula as a road movie, which the sequel absolutely was not
Plus i'll never forgive them for what they did to the dog van
The prequel at least tried to do things right even if it largely failed. The sequel was just trash on every level. You could tell nobody wanted to be there either
That said the latest blair witch sequel was a fucking abomination that made book of shadows seem like a masterpiece by comparison. Same with return of the living dead 4 and 5. and 8 year old going to disneyland and being dragged into watching captain eo thinking it was a scifi movie was a major wtf moment as well. Had a major what the fuck did I just watch thing going on when I left
and speaking of disneyland i'm throwing in the incident a few days after that when walking around toon town and went into one of the cartoon houses only to be greeted by a park worker who was an actual dwarf even shorter than I was at 8, dressed in the dirtiest overalls you've ever seen, a greasy skullet, no shirt with a sean connery tier chest hair thing going on, rubber boots and a big cigar in his mouth. But the best part was he had the most stereotypical irish accent you've ever heard in your life, it was like running into warwick davis if he was balding white trash. To this day my mother still talks about that and how disappointed she was that disneyland would let park staff be seen like that around the kids

Would love to see the Valerian and Laureline universe adapted inyo film, but the recent movie was just...
Who did the casting? The main actress must give good head!

Pirated copy of Kill Bill vol 2 that cut off the ending to fit on the disc,
Most other ones were basic thing of people talking or using phones in the cinemas. But here a few off ones.
Once had someone bring a baby into the second hobbit movie and of course it cried during most of it.
Another time in a movie a kid was crying, so the mother got up gave the brat a tablet and put him right next to me and my friends sitting on the walk away for a good 20 minutes.
Last Jedi shit movie but some fucker kept taking phone calls during it. Never saw that before.
Suspiria remake, movie lost sound, wait a few minutes to see if it fixed it's self, did not. I did get up to let the staff what the issue was and did fix it and turn the movie back, just wonder if I didn't say anything how long would have went by before someone else did.
Went and saw a Studio Ghibli movie, forget which. Was a subtitled only movie, yet someone brought their kid and had to read the subtilties for them. Was also dub showings at that cinema so not sure why they didn't just wait for that.
Sausage Party the movie was shit and this may have been the highlight, but a warning alarm came on telling everyone to leave the cinema, turns out sadly was a false alarm.

I have a certain, older than me, family member who always reads aloud every single fucking line of dialog when the lines are on the theater screen. For example, the Star Wars opening text crawl.

Watching anime DUBBED is the only correct way to watch it: you watch it dubbed because you're a small kid and can't read fast. When you can read fast enough to watch subs, you're wrong for watching anime.

I watched Serenity blind (then again, that was pre-social-media, and a newspaper review wouldn't tell me shit). There was a 1-screen movie theater opposite my university and I watched everything they were showing that didn't appear to be a romantic comedy: because they only had 1 screen, I could mostly trust them to not show raw sewage. Since then I only saw one movie that was worse (Rise of Skywalker) but it made for a much better experience (KiwiFarms movie night).

When I was a child, I was reading through the first three Dune novels, but when I got to "God Emperor of Dune", my paperback copy was missing the middle third of the book.
Like about a third of the way into the book, there was a page where the first few lines of text were normally printed, but by the middle of the page the lines were half faded, and by the bottom of the page, the lines were so faintly printed as to be unreadable. After that, all the pages for the next third of the book were completely blank on both sides. The last third of the book was normally printed, but I wasn't able to appreciate the ending because there was so much I missed from the middle of the book.
It frustrated me so much at the time that I never bothered to read the other novels that followed God Emperor, and only years later read a complete copy of God Emperor.

I have a lot of these films, but 2 bad media experiences that trumps anything I ever faced before, I'd like to share, both in the same theatre (this'll make sense after the first story). They're both almost too retarded & almost cautionary tales on why PSA on how completionist autism is dangerous at times.
In fact, one of them is just copy-pasted from my post on Worst Theater experiences, but it'll help with the 2nd story later. Here's the first one is from the last James Bond film No Time To Die.
The 2nd is the recent Cruise Kino Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning - Part 1, it's a bit more schizophrenic sounding in comparison to the first one, very TMI even. Honestly, it's a shameful PSA that should encourage the filmmaking industry into making Intervals in-between the films, & be a cautionary tale for all Tom Cruise superfans in future. I recommend reading the first story to understand this one better.
In fact, one of them is just copy-pasted from my post on Worst Theater experiences, but it'll help with the 2nd story later. Here's the first one is from the last James Bond film No Time To Die.
This was when the film is No Time To Die was out in theatres. Now, when I was watching this film At that point, I literally had no good knowledge of James Bond at all apart from some TV airings of some films I remembered in bits & pieces & 2 games the Daniel Craig ones). That said, I binged them all a few weeks (around 3 months later) after this, except NTTD (which came out when I was at the near end of Brosnan films). Also, even in that memory of bits & pieces, I never liked Daniel Craig as Bond at all (Pierce Brosnan is best Bond for me, followed by Dalton, Connery, Moore, & so on, with Craig at the down bottom), ironically enough, the 2 games I liked were the Craig ones, Quantum of Solace & Blood Stone. On top of this, I read about the woke bullshit way before the release, not really helping much.
I essentially got peer-pressured of sorts to see it by family, because we love each other way too much to say no, that & they puppy-eyed me when I tried to decline. Finally, we arrive at a theater, this theater is a bit special & has a quirk of sorts which I'll get to later, so remember this.
As for the film, the intro car scene is actually pretty good. This is the only good thing in the film, later on there's so much drama, it becomes borderline melodrama & I'm actively irritated, sneeding, even. Seriously, I don't like this much talking & Telenovela tier bullshit in general, but specially not in a James Bond film of all things. Also, the deaths don't really work for me cause I had no clear knowledge of the films at the time, meaning no connection. This includes JB's own death at the end cause I never liked Daniel Craig's version to begin with. The 2nd half is even worse than the 1st half of the film, the ending is not only garbage, but personally not even shocking, cause internet spoiled it for me, to the point of watching a leaked scene 2 days before this. But this alone isn't what makes it so bad, it's what happens personally to me which is what makes it the hell it is to go through.
Now here's where it gets from tardy, to retardy. But I'll give some context first for how it's actually bad than usual.
Remember the special kinoplex with a quirk I talked about before? Yeah, so this theater we went to was not a big one like AMC or such (I'm not snitching on it), owned by this Indian guy I know from a few theatre visits of sorts (this leads me to a "discount" of sorts. Also, just to clarify, I'm not a pajeet myself, tho I'm friends with many) who has a quirky thing with his kinoplex. See, Indian films are usually always around 2-2½ hours long, sometimes even 3 hours long as proven by RRR & many others. Due to this, Indian cinema (as in their films themselves have this in-built in them) has a thing called "Intervals" in their films, which happens in the middle of the films where the films stop for around 10 minutes & gives you time to get food, take a leak, etc.
Why does this matter here? See this guy running his own kinoplex has Indian films running in this theaters too, so he complies with the interval thing (probably the only rare one who does this). However, he does this for Hollywood films too. He says it reminds him of home. Honestly, I wish Hollywood films follow this tradition too, it genuinely makes up for a comfy theatre experience & the only reason it isn't done is to chase more & more runtimes, which is why I love this theater & will always shill for it despite what happens later, the next story actually has this theater too. But, back to my hell.
Here, it's a bad thing, cause when he does these intervals, he plays ads on his screen, not trailers, advertisements that didn't make much sense in HIS theater specifically, & only done so due to, again, that home experience of his, I wished he just played trailers. He did the same this time like usual, except this time, he got a diarrhea from the day before due to some white sauce pasta he had a day before. Basically, he shat for around 30 mins since interval ended (the lights were off in the theater), but while he was doing that, the same 2-3 ads were on loop. Yes, the pajeet shitting shitpost actually became real, but I'm the one being shat on here except visually. I understood what Alex from A Clockwork Orange felt that day.
Now, here I was, forced to watch a movie I absolutely didn't want to watch, out of peer-pressure, in a non-sensical advertisement hell (I'm not explaining how nonsensical), which only I am facing cause the family is indifferent to the film (tho they also disliked the ads hell), where I just fucking hate it. A film, which is just 20 minutes away from being 3 hours long, which it neither needs, nor deserves to be. Made even longer by a diarrhea-struck pajeet & him constantly sneezing shit out of his ass, just cause he had to have White Sauce Pasta just a day before I had to go through my hell, making it even more hellish.
Now, let's do a little math to understand the true experience of this new, 10th circle of hell. No Time To Die is 2 hour 40 minutes long. Which had an extra 10 mins to it in the middle of it's 160 minute runtime, making it 2 hour, 50 minutes long, which I didn't mind, cause me & my whole group had to pee, & I don't like quitting my movies on the middle of it (I have a theatre story for that too). But the 30 minutes of that pajeet shitting & looping his ads, led to the film being a fuck-mothering 3 hour, 30 minutes long.
Combine this with the 2nd half of this film being even worse, which isn't really helping it. There were 2 more things which were also an issue during all this which I didn't mind until the advertisement carpet bombing happened. One of them was the ACs. I don't even remember if they were too cold or not turned on making the theatre too hot. Though I'm pretty sure it was just too cold & I was shivering. Another one was the speaker volume, I don't understand this to this day, but why are the ads somehow louder than the film? I had cotton stuffed in my ears (I carry one for emergency if the sound became too high) & I still felt it.

Honestly, it's a shameful PSA that should encourage the filmmaking industry into making Intervals in-between the films, & be a cautionary tale for all Tom Cruise superfans in future. I recommend reading the first story to understand this one better.
If you read the last story, this'll make a bit more sense. It's been almost 3½ weeks since the film released & my parents once again was wanted to go watch a film with me (& thank god they did, it'll make sense why later). However, I love Tom Cruise & Mission Impossible, so this time I actually want to watch the film. I also went to the same theater as the NTTD one. In fact, I'd like to be very clear that the film is kino & the theater isn't at fault for what happens this time. Hell, if anything, that Indian guy's interval gimmick is god's gift to make the situation not turn worse this time.
Basically, this starts near the end of the film when I drank too much penis & had to piss, & because my father wanted some too & that led to holding a lot in. Then this scene, which I was the most excited for is here
However, the Pepsi I drank later effected my bladder into becoming what is essentially atomic bomb that has a retard with a flint on it.
Now, here's the worst, yet somehow wholesome part of this. The theater was surprisingly loud & my mother saw my plight, she handed me the emptied Pepsi cup & said "the volume's loud, & no one will hear you" I understood what she meant...
She wanted me to... Piss in the cup. Make a "Pee-psi", if you will. I'd like to include that my father there was also encouraging this alongside her.
This is the wholesome part, the worst part is the human dilemma. Should the Tom Cruise super-fan in me forsake human dignity & social norms, or should the man in me persevere through at least until after the ramp jump... I pissed in the cup...
OR DID I?!?!?
I persevered, then after the scene ended, I ran to the toilet, In fact, I have proof, just to prove I'm not making any of this up, here's the theater recording my mother shot on her old phone so I didn't miss the scenes, the audio is extremely wonky to the point of sounding gibberish due to her old phone.
Here's the ramp shot, where she'd thought I would go, but I persevered.
Here's what she shot when I did actually go.
Again, the audio sucks so I can't understand anything, but the thought matters more here. I saw this later on OTT, & I still love the film.
So yes, Tom Cruise & his best franchise, with another kino made me realise why we need Indian movie's interval system & how to commit CBT through holding piss, & reminded me the value of my mother's love to me.
Thank you Mom & Dad, Tom Cruise, & fuck you American Theatre system, can't believe I'm saying this, but learn from fucking Indians of all people on how to run a theater.

That’s fine, there’s literally nothing worth reading beyond God Emperor, and even the. god Emperor itself is only worth reading if you really liked the first three books.
I’ve only ever walked out on two movies: Hop and Gone Girl. Hop was just a nothing kids movie that wasn’t worth my time, but Gone Girl was just miserable every step of the way.
Saw a theater showing of Monty Python and the Holy Grail recently. Now, with a show like that you need to temper your expectations that people will recite the movie out loud. That’s fine, I expected it, it was part of the charm. The guy behind us, however, was constantly and loudly talking about inane irrelevant bullshit. I was about to ask him to shut up, but as I was turning my dad had already stood up and asked if the guy ever stopped talking. The theater was actually more livelier a couple jokes after that confrontation ended, so it was a net positive I guess.

Had a similar experience at a Holy Grail showing once, everyone in the theater was having a good time. Except, of course, for the morbidly obese woman seated behind me who would constantly ask her boyfriend "why X joke was funny", "I don't get it, this is stupid." Similar to your story just as I was ready to lose my temper and tell her to shut her fat maw, someone a few seats down did it for me and she actually did waddle out of the theater in a huff. Good times.

Objectively? Probably watching 2girls1cup or Boku No Pico with friends back in the day, if you count those as media.
Personally? Probably Destiny 2, or Destiny as a whole. One of the best-feeling shooters I can think of. One of the best-looking shooters I can think of. It's got just enough DEEP SCHIZO LORE to tickle my autistic vidya brain in a good way. Too bad the actual in-game plot is balls! Bungo's tendency to hold back content (and/or outright remove older expansions) is what ultimately killed my interest in both games, though.
I still get the urge to play it again, once in a while. Then I see that it's $200+ to get caught up on the newest expansions and I change my mind. You don't even get new dungeons with expansions any more, they have to be bought separately. What a shitload of fuck.

I'm apparently in the minority who didn't mind the shift that the series took after Volume 3. I still wound up dropping it after Volume 6 because of Yang and Blake's weird lesbo arc and Qrow's VA getting fucked over. Cursed series.

I was referring to the entire show rather than any specific dividing line, but of course an Edeltard would have stupid opinions and totally misidentify what they're watching.

I felt like I was literally robbed of my time when I watched Son of the Mask.
