Internet Backdraft/Films: Difference between revisions

Line 60:

* Go into any horror movie forum and bring up the issue of whether ''[[Evil Dead]] II'' is a remake, reboot, or sequel. No matter what side you support (or even if you're neutral), you're bound to stir up some flames.

* ''[[Goodfellas]]'' vs. ''[[The Godfather]]'', or the directorial skills of [[Francis Ford Coppola|Coppola]] vs. [[Martin Scorsese|Scorsese]].

* With critics savagely blasting ''[[Transformers (film)|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]]'', they appear to have designated themselves to be the recipients of extra strength flames (Most notably [[Roger Ebert]], [http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2009/07/i_am_a_brainiac.html who then responded to the hate mail from his initial review] not unlike [[Zero Punctuation|Yatzhee]] and ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]. Brawl'', noted below). On top of that, there's [[Uncle Tomfoolery|the Twins]], who made the medias implode over the perceived racism.

* The ''[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight]]'' movies. Quick ways to piss off entire forums: [[Stephenie Meyer]]'s "dream team" casting should have been put into place by Summit. [[Robert Pattinson]] is the best/worst Edward ever. Same for [[Kristen Stewart]] and Bella. Taylor Lautner should have been fired. Bryce Dallas Howard will make a FAR better Victoria. [[New Moon]] was horrible. Twilight's special effects were awesome. And, easiest of all: there should be no sex in [[Breaking Dawn]], because won't anyone think of the children?

** When ''Eclipse'' led the [[Golden Raspberry Award|Razzies]] nominations along with ''[[The Last Airbender]]'', the fandom quickly went to the awards website to complain (though it got there more due to overexposure than due to the film being ''that'' bad).
