I did.

Ahnuld's "Colateral Damage."

To my defense, it was part of a promotion -- five five-day DVD rentals for US$ 4.50.

The PROPAGANDA! The PROPAGANDA! It BURNS my EYES! GAAAAAAA!

I couldn't stomach it after the straw-man pro-terrorist NGO guy was interviewed in the TV Ahnuld was watching. And from what I glanced in the IMDb boards, it gets WORSE from there!

1. I turned away from a movie while on a tour bus ...
it was "A Knight's Tale". I could tolerate playing Queen's "We Will Rock You" during the jousts and David Bowie's "Golden Years" during a dance.

But when a squire was talking to a princess and the princess walks away and the squire says "Hell-ooooooooooo", I wanted to rip the monitor down and throw it out the window. Blocked out the sound and returned to reading.

5. meegbear's magical mystery tour
Such a range of emotions in the first few minutes, anger, fear, depression, claustrophobia. Then it turned into some dude reading a book :shrug:

Most recently, "Scar". What a cheap piece of shit that was.
