I had such a moment recently. I was watching the 1975 cult French film The Beast (La Bete) and right off the bat there is a very graphic scene of horse on horse copulation. I'm talking erection, quivering and ejaculation graphic. Horses. For a minute or two. I think to myself--"Okay, it is French, it's a controversial film in some circles, an extended horse sex scene in the first three minutes, while not my thing, it's understandable." I keep watching.
About ten minutes later there is a second scene of two horses getting it on! That was my moment of remembering of the other things I could be doing--I pressed stop. I don't feel guilty at all. I just won't watch The Beast and who knows how many more sex scenes the kinky, equine obsessed director might have put in the movie.
Evidently I have a stopping point: multiple + detailed lovemaking scenes between horses. But that's just me--what is your stopping point or what was the last film you stopped watching and never returned to?

I give a movie a few minutes and then I'm out! I tried twice to watch In Bruge just becuz Colin Ferrel supposed to be good in it. I'm not a fan of his at all.
But I just couldn't. Too slow. or To dark. Just didn't make sense.
Horse sex....were these people city folk and thought it was new or something??
I can't really think of something specific, like horse sex, that makes me want to turn something off. Usually, when I wish everyone would just die some horrible death, then I turn it off.
wow...horse sex. i can see that being your breaking point...b'c you are the one person who has always prided himself on persevering through a film. what is it you say to make a horse stop? 'whoa'!
i think i walked out on lost in space. i wish i pressed stop on my name is bruce.
Someone pressed stop on In Bruges? That baffles me. That's such an amazing movie.
To Replicant: Do not watch "Zoo."
As Nick Hornby once wrote: "You are allowed to walk out."
Rumblefish: Is ZOO the doc regarding a human/horse sex fetish? I seem to recall a doc about that a couple of years ago.
Vern: I can't believe a Bruce Campbell film could be that bad!
