Line 63:
* 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).
* ''[[Avatar (film)|Avatar]]'' is a good source of [[Internet Backdraft]]. Especially when you put them in [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny|fights against]] [[Warhammer
** Even better, the plot of the film alone is enough to start a flame war. Especially if you compare it to ''[[Fern Gully]]'', ''[[Dances with Wolves]]'', and/or ''[[Pocahontas]]''.
*** Note, however, that this is usually not so much because of any disagreement about the validity of the comparisons (assuming the issue is even considered relevant) as the jokes being ''supremely'' stale. Even people who agreed, for instance, that the creators of ''[[Lost]]'' were making it up as they went along got sick to death of jokes about this long before the series finale came.
Line 82:
* ''[[Shutter Island]]'': the debate over whether or not {{spoiler|Teddy is insane.}}
* Ask people on the [[That Guy With The Glasses]] forums if they'll buy a DVD or go see a live screening of ''[[The Room]]'' now.
* Sites boycotting the film ''[[21 (2008 film)||Twenty One]]'' popped up in the aftermath of the "whitewash casting" controversy, and there were many netizens hating on Jeff Ma, who had a cameo in the film but didn't push for an Asian to be cast as the lead.
* Whatever you do, don't mention how similar ''[[Repo! The Genetic Opera]]'' is to ''[[Repo Men]]'' in the presence of the fans of either. There will be blood.
* Just for giggles, post a video on [[YouTube]] with the ever-popular song "[[Team America: World Police|America! FUCK YEAH!]] and enjoy the political [[Flame War]] that is to follow.
