...self-mutilation, in a world where Original Sin blots out the sunlight of redemption. Oh essentially takes the major blame for all the awful things that have happened to him. And when he finally faces his captor, he goes medieval on himself: ripping out his tongue, begging for the villain's mercy and licking his shoes...
...villain of Children is the cowardly and spiteful Morgoth, who's your basic evil incarnate. Tolkien's baddies rarely have much in the way of personality, and Morgoth spends most of his time squatting in his dark fortress of Angband, casting a shadow over the land and generally making war on all that is just and beautiful.

Like Talladega it gives him a colleague who's also a rival (Jon Heder) and a villain (here the tandem of Will Arnett and Amy Poehler) who will surely be defeated in the climactic competition. Blades also plants a few sport icons in the supporting cast; as Dale Earnhart Jr. dressed up the race-car movie, Peggy Fleming, Dorothy Hamill, Scott Hamilton, Brian Boitano and Nancy Kerrigan lent their implicit...
