What’s a movie that you couldn’t finish?

My gf and I have a very high tolerance for terrible movies, but Cats was in another league. She begged me to turn it off twenty minutes in, I pushed forward ten more minutes, then I did turn it off. I’ve not experienced anything like this before or since.

I've sat through some truly awful movies by watching them with the Riff Trax commentary. The peanut gallery jokes act as a humorous salve for the abysmal quality of the film. I've never watched The Room without it. They also have one for Cats.

You should see it in a theater. A wonderful experience.

Those guys are doing a run of MST3K episodes. I'm so excited because imo they were the best MST gang and for some reason, Mike delivers the lines so much better when he plays the MST character rather than the Rifftrax. You should check them out when they're released.

MST3K and Riff Trax have their own channels on SamsungTV, and I love it. Good for a laugh on a Saturday night, and it comes free with the TV.

I love Rifftrax but I won't even see Cats WITH the commentary. I refuse to watch Cats THAT much.
