12. I've only walked out of one movie in the Theater

Dec 2022

I worked nights so I would go to the 10 AM screenings, very few people in there at that time.

The movie I walked out of was "He Knows You're Alone." I think I made it about 20 minutes.

Apparently, Tom Hanks was in that movie. I don't remember seeing him but then I wouldn't have known who he was.

Maybe it was just my mood at the time. A Serial Killer stalking Brides-to-Be from what I read years later. It was yuck or stupid

I can't remember which. I should find it somewhere and see if I can finish it.

Now that I'm older it's hard to stay awake for any movies.

There are movies that I LOVE that start out so horribly slow. One would be the Coen Brothers movie, "Blood Simple".

The scene in the car driving in the rain, zzzzzzzzz! Once that movie gets going it's really great.
