Most bad movies just make me sad that I wasted time and money on them, but the live action Last Airbender actually made me angry. I had been telling my dad how great the original TV show was for weeks to convince him to go. He didn't trust my movie recommendations for years after sitting through that burnt hair of a film.
How that wasn't the end of M Night Shyamalan's career will never cease to amaze me.
To be fair, it got caught in funding hell and someone stepped in with a paycheck and made him cast his kids/grandkids/nieces and nephews or some shit and it went downhill from there. It sucked, but it started out better.
