Just thought of this. Vipul and I walked out of Once Upon a Time in Mexico a couple of summers ago and we didn't ask for a refund. We should have. I've only walked out of a movie once but next time will be sure to try this out. For some reason I seem to have this idealistic 'faith' in the medium and think that perhaps if I tough it out, the end won't disappoint me too royally. Oh wait, I also walked out of Harry Potter....
