When it reached that point in the film my nausea won out and I had to flee. Judging by the fact that I was recently able to watch <i>Martyrs</i> without flinching, it's safe to say I've developed a much stronger stomach when it comes to movie violence.<br /><br />And the only movie I ever paid money to see and walked out of was <i>Richie Rich</i> (which I saw with the same group of friends, coincidentally enough). Of course, we were only there to see <i>Chariots of Fur</i>, the new Roadrunner/Coyote cartoon that was attached to it, and had no intention of staying for the feature. The looks on the kid's faces as we got up and walked out as soon as <i>Richie Rich</i> started was priceless.Craig J.

But wow, you walked out? The only movie I've ever walked out of was Mel Brooks' LIFE STINKS and that was because it committed the unholy sin of sucking out loud. (Plus, I was on a date and didn't feel like wasting the night - had more fun throwing pine cones at the trees in the park.)Dr. AC https://www.blogger.com/profile/00222795645885007090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803045395906423494.post-7172923003459739242011-02-03T19:54:38.916-08:002011-02-03T19:54:38.916-08:00Your Herzog year, eh?

Guess ou could say I'm having German New Wave year.<br /><br />As for Gordon's <i>The Pit and the Pendulum</i>, I remember being thoroughly revolted by it the first time I tried to watch it in college. (In fact, I walked out when de Ricci had her tongue cut out.) It took me many years (and a lot of Gordon film screenings in between) to work up the desire to give it a second crack and even then that was mostly so I could say I had all of his features under my belt.Craig J.
