I didn't say there was no plot, I said they were shitty movies. And furthermore, I'm ashamed that I didn't burn (with fire) my DVD copies of them before out 4 year old could discover them. He now prefers II and III to ESB and ROTJ, much to my horror.

whom seems incorrect in this usage.
The cat--he--is someone you do not wish to trifle.
the whom is referring back to the cat, not you/he.
"I'm not someone who you wish to trifle." or "dont **** with me."
would be better.

Since the structure is "I am not someone," that means that "whom" is referring to the object of the sentence, and is therefore correct.

Well, it's actually the object of the preposition. "with", hence the objective case.
A reverse case is when you say something like, "He is cross with whoever gets in his way". In that case, "whoever gets" is a noun clause, in which, "whoever" is the subject, "gets" is the verb, respectively of that clause; so use the nominative case, "whoever" instead of "whomever". The clause is the object of the preposition "with" in that instance.
