[COLOR="Red"]- 'Nu-Coen Brothers' Films
- [COLOR="red"]'Nu-Cronenberg' Films
- Bland remakes of classic films (extra hate added for those infused with bad CGI)
- Rom-coms
- Musicals that don't include either copious blood, nudity, or chickens
- Comedies starring Will Ferrell

* to be taken as (ever-so-slightly) tongue-in-cheek | Agree with 99.9% of the above but definately not Cronenberg and some but not all Nu Cohen Brothers.
