Why did no one tell me...

What a bloody marvellous movie Bad Santa is?

Gleefully twisted, foul-mouthed, ugly, cynical, black, un-PC, malicious, wonderfully tasteless, yet with a soft chewy centre (which is probably made of something wholly unpalatable) - this is my kind of Christmas movie.

I've been meaning to watch it for ages, but now I know how vindictively delicious a movie from Ghost World director Terry Zwigoff and with script doctoring by the Coen Brothers and starring the ever underrated Billy Bob Thornton can be.

"You know, I think I've turned a corner... I beat the shit out of some kids today. But it was for a purpose. It made me feel good about myself. It was like I did something constructive with my life or something, I dunno, like I accomplished something."
