Amazing. Here’s an actual person who has no heart.

What’s it like, sir, living without that which gives life to every other person on this planet?

But it has one of moviedom’s greatest ever quotes:

“The sheriff is a _ni-_” (_Bell Tolls_)  
“The sheriff is a _ni-_” (_Bell tolls a second time_)  
“He says the new sheriff is near!”  
“No, galdummit! The sheriff is a _ni-_” (_Bell tolls once again_)

Agreed. I didn’t outright hate it, but I certainly didn’t, and don’t, get all the hype surrounding that movie.

Abso-muthafuckin’-lutely! Hateful is the _exact_ word to describe the piece of shit that inexplicably beat out the _faaaaar_ superior **Monsters, Inc.** for the first-ever Best Animated Feature Oscar.
