    I'd say about 15-20 min. If I'm not into it in 15-20 then I know it's going to be pointless to watch the rest. I do tend to be alot more tolerant when I'm working on the computer cause then it's just background noise.

    I agreed, for example when I was watching The Illusionist, I don't like it, but for me the end it's great

    I feel like thats a lot of wasted hours watching something thats not for you which can be used to watch other quality films.

    I feel the same about books btw.

    Yeah, thats the worst kind. It's not so bad that you just want fling the disc like a frisbee outta the window but instead baits you to watch longer, you hoping for something redeeming to happen. 99% of the time, you realize thats an hour or so wasted which you'll never get back.

    So a lot of waster hours translates into 1hr30-2hrs..., since that is how long the average poorly made movie is (some I've watched just teem over the 1hr mark).

    I usually sit through a bad movie, just to laugh at the bad acting, which usually is a good sign of a bad movie; unless it is a 3 or 4hr-long movie (*cough* LOTR *cough*). I'm not saying lotr had bad acting (or wait, maybe i am [*cough* Orlando Bloom *cough*]); I'm just not into superficial fantasy movies. It's my opinion, and I know it isn't popular (hence 8.7/10 on imdb )

    Im not the biggest fan of lotr either. I was forced by my significant someone to watch it again for the second time a few weeks back which is pretty much equivalent to holding a gun to my head. All 3 extended versions in one day. Straight.
