Sir. I never saw it in theatres but I can instantly remember crazy fun things like the pancake machine, and the parachuting turtles! I'm smiling just thinking about it.

If I'm remembering correctly the one and only was Fubar, got about 1/3 into it, walked across the hall to see the Sum of all Fears, happy with the choice, never finished FUBAR, had to make a point to catch the first 15 minutes of the Sum of All Fears on Movie Central a year later.
This is honestly ridiculous. I wonder if maybe you never hung out with bangers or had party nights like those guys show in the movie? We even literally used to go camping at Gooseberry in the exact same shat-show way they did in the movie.
Full disclosure is I used to hang out with some of those guys (A-Team, Infernos and The Dudes even played a show in my basement), so maybe I'm biased, but that movie did have heart, soul and a really good storyline.
Here's an unpopular opinion, it seems: I think FUBAR 2 was even better. Great movie, that one. I think their story writing improved a lot from one to two.

I walked out of that movie in the theater. It was so basic, predictable, boring, ridiculous, lame, unfunny, and loooong. Can't believe the accolades it got. One of the worst movies I've ever seen.
I never leave to go to the bathroom, but maybe 3/4 of the way through I left to go to the bathroom and just stayed outside playing on my phone until it finished and my family came out. Apparently I was huffing and sighing my indignation at that terrible movie, so my wife knew I wasn't coming back and just hung in there as best she could to finish it.

I've had beers with Dave Lawrence and his wife (it's criminal I don't recall her name, she does the writing and is funny A/F).
A buddy of mine appears in Fubar Age of Electric and is friends with Dave.

I've actually never done that, but "The Last Jedi" and "The Rise of Skywalker" walked that line and would have been more than worthy picks.
I only stayed through the Last Jedi because I was with my kids. Instead of leaving I had a snooze. But I told them if they wanted to see the Rise of Skywalker, they’d have to find their own way to see it because I wasn’t taking them. They didn’t bother.

When I was in high school I lived in the country and most weeks my friends and I would drive into Red Deer to watch a movie. This was between 1989 and 1991 or so, and while you could look up what was playing in the paper, we would usually just wing it and watch whatever when we got there. At the time, Red Deer had two theatres, but only maybe six screens between the two, so often we didn't have a lot of choices. One time we got there and only 'Scenes from a Mall' hadn't started already, so we decided to watch that. I've watched a couple other Woody Allen movies over the years, and never liked any of them, but Scenes from a Mall was definitely the worst. We left after maybe half an hour. A couple of other people followed us out, so it wasn't just high school kids who thought that movie sucked.
The second time was The Avengers. Not one of the Marvel one, the one about spies with Uma Thurman. What a boring, slow slog that movie was.
Now I pretty much never go to the theatre, so if I don't like a movie I just go back to the streaming menu and start over with something else. I did that recently, but I can't remember what it even was. I guess if it didn't involve driving to a theatre and paying money for a seat, my brain doesn't keep track of the details of a crappy movie.
I remember we walked out of Black Dog when I was a young man. I couldn’t remember anything about it (other than the all-star cast of Patrick Swayze, Randy Travis and Meatloaf!) so I just pulled up the trailer on YouTube… now it actually looks surprisingly awesome and I kind of want to track it down so I can watch it again…
