The only semi-sane thing i can think of is to retell the story, more-or-less verbatim. With equal amount of ambiguity (si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses).
This is pretty much more or less what the adventure game did.

Fuck outta my face. If you're such a big fan, where were you when Scots Taffer was shitting on it every chance he got (often for the express purpouse of annoying me) or when Vivian was insisting that an adaptation of a Philip K. Dick novel was based on a French comic book?

Come on now, honey, not everything is about you.
In fact, I recall talking about how I wanted to love that movie but just couldn't. I think I've tried twice. That's giving it some effort.
As to the topic at hand, I walked out of Prometheus during the final scenes and it remains the only movie I've ever walked out of. I don't think I'll be giving the sequel a similar opportunity.

It is when you're involved. :|

Always wondered, when people walk out of movies, do they do it as some kind of protest? Are they hoping to get noticed? I'm serious here. Or do they actually have something better to do for the upcoming 1-2 hours? It seems crazy to walk out during the final portion of any movie - nothing can be that hard to watch - we're not talking a torture chamber here.
It seems kind of silly to travel all the way to the theater, park, pay, and then not stick it out til the end and get the full viewing before making any kind of judgement, but maybe that's just me.

Shut up all of you.
Everyone knows I'm the number 1 Blade Runner fan.

I've never walked out of the cinema, but at least once I truly, truly wished I had. This was when I went to see
Beowulf at the cinema - (
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120604/?ref_=nv_sr_3) not the Ray Winstone one, the Christopher Lambert one. Utterly, utterly dreadful. Torture chamber comes quite close, tbh.
My friend next to me even suggested throughout we should leave, but I stupidly went "it might still turn good." I was wrong. Very wrong.
At least I only spent 7 Singapore dollars on it, which is very little, all things considered.
[edit] Also, I'm #1
Blade Runner fan. [/edit]

Only time I ever saw people walk out of a movie was when we went to see Borat, at either the "Jew monster egg laying" scene or the "throwing money at the Jew roaches" scene, the two girls sitting beside us walked out. That was one case I couldn't really blame them, because if they didn't like his brand of parody by that point, I think it's safe to say the movie would be irredeemable for them. That's kind of a special case though. They felt offended; not like the badness per se was pushing them out.

I'm amazed anyone could be offended by Borat. It's one of those rare examples of something that's stepped so far beyond that fine line, it's flipped back around again and become almost completely benign.
Like the Running of the Jew skit. The parody is so over the top extreme, it's practically impossible to take it seriously. Someone would have to go out of their way and purposefully try to get offended by it.

Or just not get it. Those people are out there for real.
