Is that the leader?
I'm kind of surprised by this. I get that Pulp Fiction isn't the type of movie that everyone would love, but I don't know how anyone could find it so horribly boring that they just couldn't stand it any longer. Can someone explain why it is such a walkout worthy movie?
I hear you, and even though I was one of the ones to almost walk, that fact that others agree with me surprises me because I thought most people loved it. (and when I watched it later, I did like parts of it, and can see some merit)
I tried to explain what it was for me: it wasn't about being bored. look at that opening scene: it just seemed so forced, so affected/contrived, so over-the-top, so overly self-conscious (hey everyone, I'm Quentin Tarantino, and aren't I witty and cool the way I made this scene?), and I thought the chick's acting was horribly annoying and over the top and not believable. I guess I was taking it all too seriously, but it just annoyed me.
But I stayed, and I've appreciated other parts of it.
