Heh, I saw a free showing of "Titanic" at Smith the year I worked as an RC, and I just remember people all around me were sniffling or even bawling for what seemed like an hour before the damn thing ended. My friend and I, on the other hand, were trying our hardest not to laugh too loudly at how ridiculously overwrought it all was.
In general, I feel that it's not the theater's fault if I don't like a movie that I paid to see, and I've never considered asking for a refund. I've also never walked out of anything, though I really wanted to walk out of "Dogville", which was the worst piece of rape-culture-dressed-up-as-high-art shit that I've ever seen. (I didn't, because I was with someone who wanted to see it; and I knew nothing about the film beforehand, hadn't even heard of it until my companion suggested it when we were trying to pick a movie to go watch.)
I have a perverse, schadenfreude-filled love of the Twilight films, but I have to go to them with hecubuscathead and we have to heckle the entire way through. (It helps if you've read cleolinda's recaps of the books and/or films-- far better than actually reading the books.) That said, I agree that Eclipse was too dull to even heckle properly. Sigh.
